Contributions by Sandra Bartlett Atwood, Nathan E. Bender, London Brickley, Eric A. Eliason, Noah D. Eliason, Tim Frandy, Robert Glenn Howard, Jay Mechling, Annamarie O'Brien Morel, Raymond Summerville, Tok Thompson, and Megan L. Zahay Guns are a ubiquitous part of life in the United States. Arguably more pervasive than physical guns is "gunlore," which refers to the many folklore genres related to firearms. Gunlore: Firearms, Folkways, and Communities is the first book to engage with the many narratives, rituals, folk-speech, customs, art, and handicraft encompassed by gunlore. Like most expressive cultures, gunlore emerges from specific communities. Groups with a shared interest around firearms may form for many reasons--self-protection, hunting, crime, work, political or social identity signaling, the desire to creatively modify guns, and even the resolve to oppose gun use and ownership. This collection explores a range of gunlore genres and the "gunfolk" groups that give rise to them. Contributors examine topics that include the fetishization of firearms, "Moms Who Carry," online discussion boards, alternative history cosplay, survivalist communities, gunsmiths and gun craft, and more. Gun owners and gun enthusiasts, in all their varieties, are one of the largest avocational groups in America. The essays in Gunlore seek to expand our understanding of these communities by looking at the various roles firearms play, have played, and can play in our world. Gunlore, for better or worse, is a powerful and pervasive method of self-expression. In examining the folklore around these controversial and politically charged tools, weapons, and symbols, we can begin to understand aspects of American culture that will remain prominent for the foreseeable future.

Folklore and ghost stories are important. They connect us to our past, and keep memories alive in one form or another. Unfortunately, many stories and tales appeared in books and periodicals that are hard to find, out of print, or have vanished completely. Inside you'll read about the ghosts, urban legends, superstitions about witches, mysterious creatures, strange unidentified flying objects, and other tall tales from Avery, Madison, Watauga, and Yancey Counties, North Carolina. Some books are good at "spinning a yarn", especially out of Southern Appalachian urban legends. Other books have presented the folklore as presented. Word of mouth can completely change a story, as well. Whenever possible, this book dives deep into a story to uncover the persons and true stories behind the legends.

In the lush fields of England's countryside, members of the upper social circles do not breed racehorses or delight in a brisk trot through town-they raise, ride and race dragons. Disguised as a man, Elizabeth Bennet is able to ride and race dragons in nearby Liford without her family's knowledge. With the assistance of the head groom from the Meryton Inn, Elizabeth is able to truly be herself... if only for a little while. After an exhilarating race that showcases her remarkable dragon riding skills and her affinity with the dangerous and unpredictable creatures, Elizabeth's deception is in danger of being discovered-how will Meryton society react to her daring secret? But it is the arrival of a certain gentleman to Hertfordshire that could threaten everything Elizabeth has been building in secret. Will her acquaintance with Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy spell disaster for her reputation, or will she be able to continue to follow her heart? Secrets, however, have a way of unraveling, and as the truth threatens to come to light, Elizabeth must confront her own fears that she will not be accepted for who she truly is. A Lady's Gamble is an adventurous variation of Pride and Prejudice that is suitable for all lovers of Jane Austen's romantic classic, and those who like a little bit of fantasy with their Regency romance.

The God of War has never been a popular presence on Olympus. But his glowering looks and stern expressions have a much deeper cause.Aloof and as changeable as the winds of conflict, Ares has always carried tragedy with him wherever he goes. To bring suffering is his destiny, his mother saw to that, but even the Lord of Swords must take time to breathe the sweet air. Even Ares must rest.The God of War has fought against the prophecy for so long that it seemed impossible to bring him to heel. But there is more at work here - a secret that keeps him separate from the plight of his father, his uncles, and even his brothers.Nikos is a man without a future, a college student without direction or ambition to do anything to take him away from his lonely island home.

And what must a God do to ensure that his legacy is protected?Marble Heart is book 5 in the New Olympians series. 39,000 words, with a HEA featuring a willing omega and a stubborn alpha-god to claim him.~ NEW OLYMPIANS ~Book 1 ~ Lightning Strikes (ZEUS)Book 2 ~ Rip Tide (POSEIDON)Book 3 ~ By the Book (HADES)Book 4 ~ Swift Wings (HERMES)Book 5 ~ Marble Heart (ARES)FREEBIE ~ Immortal's Wish (Holiday novella)Book 6 ~ Eternal Fire (HEPHAESTUS)Book 7 ~ Phoebus (APOLLO)Book 8 ~ Spark of Romance (EROS)Book 9 ~ Spark of Chaos (Dionysus)Book 10 ~ Spark of Remembrance (BOREAS)

Zeus and his brothers on one side; Hera and her sisters on the other... there will be no peace between them while jealousy festers and anger and resentment keep their hold on the hearts of the gods. Hermes has seen it all, and listened, while both parties have ranted and raved about their mistreatment at the hands of the other. But when will it be his turn?The nursery at Olympus has been filling with noise and laughter, but while Hermes' uncles seek their own perfect match, he wallows in denial that the prophecy was even meant for him. How can he truly stay neutral in this war when his heart is pledged to the mortal who would bear his children? It's not fate he's avoiding, it's the knowledge that everything he is will be compromised. It would only take one moment of weakness, and every alliance that he has worked so hard to build will be shattered.Noah isn't a one-night-stand kind of guy, but when it comes to Lukas, he's made a month's worth of exceptions. A triathlete in the depths of competition training, Noah doesn't have time for much more, but there's something about Lukas that makes him want more than what's currently on offer... and frankly, he's tired of waking up alone.

Brooke always said that his one true love was the sea... but he never guessed how right he really was.Wild as the seas he ruled, Poseidon was never one to listen when he was told to curb his wild ways. Passionate and untameable, Poseidon's rages were as terrifying as the storms he whipped across the oceans of the world, but when he calmed, there was nothing to match his beauty. When the goddess' rebellion divided the pantheon, Poseidon took refuge in the sea, and spent most of his time away from Olympus so he would not have to face the cruelty of the goddess' betrayal.After centuries of loneliness, Poseidon is once again absent from Olympus and unable to hear his brother's call that the oracle's promise had been fulfilled.

What he doesn't know, is that Patrick is an actual god, and he must make a choice between his lonely life, or an option that seems too incredible to believe.Rip Tide is book 2 in the New Olympians series. 32,000 words, with a HEA featuring a shy, loveable omega an alpha-god to claim him. ~ NEW OLYMPIANS ~Book 1 ~ Lightning Strikes (ZEUS)Book 2 ~ Rip Tide (POSEIDON)Book 3 ~ By the Book (HADES)Book 4 ~ Swift Wings (HERMES)Book 5 ~ Marble Heart (ARES)FREEBIE ~ Immortal's Wish (Holiday novella)Book 6 ~ Eternal Fire (HEPHAESTUS)Book 7 ~ Phoebus (APOLLO)Book 8 ~ Spark of Romance (EROS)Book 9 ~ Spark of Chaos (Dionysus)Book 10 ~ Spark of Remembrance (BOREAS)
