The women of Resolved return to tell us their stories. The familiar names - Lorelei. Amity. Grenata. Corinne. We hear from all of them, the details of their lives. But the other women in the fortress are also given a voice for the first time in their lives. They will not be silenced any longer. A companion book to Resolved, this book continues to explore the lives of the women who dared to risk everything for freedom - freedom from dull routines, freedom from abuse, freedom from being property of men. For the first time, someone listens. Someone cares. And they are ready to talk. Stories range from the heartbreaking to the heartwarming, but one thing ties all these women together - dreams that have been stifled and can finally be spoken.

Originally begun as a project for Women's History Month, these stories are now being published as a collection. Short stories, plays, poems, and essays make up this month long work, one entry for every day of the month. This is the beginning of a challenge to write for women, about women, by a woman. The author has extensive history both with being a woman and with writing women, and shares her own journey with you, and brings along some old friends both real and imaginary. A woman who is a fish, worshiping a fish god? Check. A woman who leads a battle between penguins and kangaroos? Check. A woman who plays Jacob Marley to her best friend's Scrooge? Check. All these, and many more, are present. Don't miss roll call.

When Ogden lies to his colleagues about what he found at the dig, she decides to investigate further. What she discovers threatens to destroy their lives as they know them. Will it destroy civilization as well?

Phoebe is just a nine-year-old girl, not extraordinary, even if she is a bit too smart for her own good. When she asks the witch how to bring her cat home, the spell she casts has some unexpected consequences. The hole she opened in the sky will lead her on a remarkable journey, through the land where the living cannot go, through forests she has been forbidden to enter, and across a dangerous land where everyone and everything appears to want to destroy her. Her companions are among the most suspicious of the strange beings she encounters, as she is traveling with a talking tree and a group of witches and not-exactly witches that have a mission she is expected to fulfill. The problem is, she does not know what they expect of her, and she's worried it may be evil. She has little choice but to trust them once they carry her past the point where she can find her own way home, but by the time she returns, she will not be the same child that began the journey.

Now in one volume, the Godmaker Trilogy. Rudy Sullivan must follow the Godmakers if he wishes to protect his own life and the lives of those he loves. He has one ace-in-the-hole: the last play ever written by the old playwright, who might be a suicide or might have been murdered. He trails the two old men who claim they created all the gods as they take him from Italy to California to the North Pole, finally ending in the panhandle of Nebraska where an odd monument and a sleepy town somehow figure in the secret of the universe. The old man who claims to be Paul of Tarsus and travels in a creaky old plane with his friend, John the Baptist, has a knack for turning Rudy's life upside down, and in the process, conjuring up demons and danger. Rudy finds it hard to believe in Paul, but he finds it harder not to follow him. What he learns and sees on his journey will lead him to question not just his sanity, but his faith in God.

Religious literature fills the world, but literature around non-belief is sparse. This book is my small effort to help rectify that and add to the small but growing body of literature that begins in the Enlightenment (or earlier; Lucretius comes to mind) and stretches in a very thin line to the present.Find out what happens when the United States votes to become officially a Christian nation. Follow along with Lepidus and Derek as they attempt to bring Enlightenment and humanist values to a world that doesn't want them. Visit Hell and speak with Mephistopheles. Find out what happens when a mother faces a challenge to custody of her child simply because she doesn't believe in God.

When Rudy embarked on his journey with Paul and John, he never dreamed he'd find himself in Nebraska with a seven-headed horse, a collection of demons, and a model of Stonehenge made out of old cars. When Becca descends into madness and Erin disappears, his only hope of saving his family is to follow his old friends for the final leg of the journey to kill God. It would be easier if there weren't so many people determined to stop him.

When Paul re-enters his life, Rudy steels himself for the wild ride that is sure to follow. He takes comfort from the play strapped to his chest, knowing it is the insurance policy that keeps his family safe from a formidable enemy. Now, his adversary has broken their part of the bargain and has come after him again, determined to ensure that no one ever performs the play. From the plains of the midwest to the frozen north, John and Paul take Rudy on a bizarre journey, chasing a would-be demon, a devout assassin, and the most powerful institution on Earth. Rudy will stop at nothing to keep his family safe, but he is not sure Paul can complete his mission to kill God. Book II of the Godmaker Trilogy, following Alpha & Omega.
