CCJ Publisher Rick Alan Rice dissects
the building of America in a trilogy of novels
collectively calledATWOOD. Book One explores
the development of the American West through the
lens of public policy, land planning, municipal
development, and governance as it played out in one
of the new counties of Kansas in the latter half of
the 19th Century. The novel focuses on the religious
and cultural traditions that imbued the American
Midwest with a special character that continues to
have a profound effect on American politics to this
day. Book One creates an understanding about
America's cultural foundations that is further
explored in books two and three that further trace
the historical-cultural-spiritual development of one
isolated county on the Great Plains that stands as
an icon in the development of a certain brand of
American character. That's the serious stuff viewed
from high altitude. The story itself gets down and
dirty with the supernatural, which inATWOOD
- A Toiler's Weird Odyssey of Deliveranceis the
outfall of misfires in human interactions, from the
monumental to the sublime.The
book features the epic poem"The
Toiler"as
well as artwork by New Mexico artist Richard
Padilla.

I am offering another
novel through Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing service.
Cooksin is the story of a criminal syndicate that sets its
sights on a ranching/farming community in Weld County, Colorado,
1950. The perpetrators of the criminal enterprise steal farm
equipment, slaughter cattle, and rob the personal property of
individuals whose assets have been inventoried in advance and
distributed through a vast system of illegal commerce.
It is a ripping good yarn, filled
with suspense and intrigue. This was designed intentionally to
pay homage to the type of creative works being produced in 1950,
when the story is set. Richard Padilla
has done his usually brilliant work in capturing the look and feel of
a certain type of crime fiction being produced in that era. The
whole thing has the feel of those black & white films you see on
Turner Movie Classics, and the writing will remind you a little
of Elmore Leonard, whose earliest works were westerns.

BOOK LIBRARY
If you have not explored the books
available from Amazon.com's Kindle Publishing
division you would do yourself a favor to do so. You
will find classic literature there, as well as tons
of privately published books of every kind. A lot of
it is awful, like a lot of traditionally published
books are awful, but some are truly classics. You
can get the entire collection of Shakespeare's works
for two bucks.
Amazon is the largest,
but far from the only digital publisher. You can

Aerial acts first showed up on the Los Angeles,
California (USA) music scene, and were first featured in 2006 at RARWRITER.com,
but they were first introduced as "aerial dance" in the 1970s. A choreographer
in the San Francisco Bay area, Terry Sendgraff,
invented the "motivity" trapeze, based on the low-hung circus trapeze. His
innovation was to link the two ropes of the circus device to a single point of
attachment, so that the apparatus could be used to spin, twist, fly in a
straight line as well as in a circle. Aerial dancers started hanging from tall
buildings and performing 3-dimensional choreography at dangerous altitudes. In
Boulder, Colorado the "Aerial Dance Festival" was founded (1999) to celebrate
this dare devilry. In the competitive world of music it seemed only natural that
the spectacle of aerial dance be incorporated into pop music, most notably by
rock singer Pink, who has recently made aerial dance a big part of her show. It
has also become a stage show staple in Las Vegas. And here it is in India, at
the Mlrchi Music Awards (at right).
If you aren't so interested in that intellectual
hanging from the ceiling stuff, you might opt instead to watch Neha Bahsin's
instruction in basic biology. Apple Bottoms is foundational stuff.-

Freddie Mercury, the
extraordinary vocalist of the legendary British rock band
Queen, was born Farrokh Bomi Bulsara to
Indian parents in Zanzibar. He grew up in Panchgani, near Mumbai, and the music
he was most influenced by in his early youth was that of
Lata Mangeshkar.
Born September 28, 1929, Lata Mangeshkar is one
of the best-known and most respected playback singers in India. Mangeshkar's
career started in 1942 and has spanned over six and a half decades. She has

thirty-six regional Indian languages and foreign languages, though primarily in
Hindi. She is the elder sister of singer Asha Bhosle, and Hridayanath Mangeshkar,
Usha Mangeshkar and Meena Mangeshkar. She is the second vocalist to have ever
