TEXAS: CROSSROADS OF NORTH AMERICA, 2nd Edition, chronicles the development of the political, economic, and social identity of Texas by presenting the unique insights of three authors and incorporating the latest scholarship. The thematically arranged book covers the full scope of Spanish exploration and colonization efforts, as well as the transformation of the Texas economy and society in the 20th century. The first theme, "Texas as place," presents the state as a crossroads of geographies and cultures, while the second theme, "Texas as opportunity," features the progression of visitors, immigrants, and Native Texans as they learn to make use of the region's resources. The third theme, "Texas as 'cultural centrifuge,'" focuses on the convergence, separation, and emergence of various cultural groups in the state.

Men. Fiction)"A beautifully written, engrossing family epic." Kirkus"Young's intense focus on the natural world provides imagery of glistening beauty." PW"A sweeping debut of enduring but tragic love..." Pasadena Now"... rich with images... highly recommend it." American Library Assoc. There are many ties that bind, and as many walls that divide. Music and deafness. Race and war. Love and unending time. Strum weaves together each element into a larger human tapestry of light and shadow, where a combination of fate and decision can define a family's legacy. Bernard, a deaf young woodworker, is drawn into an old growth forest in rural Québec. Summoned there by the spirits of his Iroquois and European great-grandparents, he witnesses a colossal 800-year-old cedar fall literally at his feet, and nearly loses his life salvaging a portion of the great tree to craft two guitars worthy of the music he hears. Across two centuries and four continents, this tale of family, spirits, and music, paints upon the world's large canvas an intimate story of enduring love and how the mysterious forces that divide us can also bring us together. "Young's debut novel delights the reader in a mesmerizing story you can't stop reading. Definitely a page turner!" ~ F. Vargas, American Library Association

Mary Catherine Livingston knew that working for the Paranormal Posse reality series wouldn’t be easy. But apart from the threatening spirits and unwanted publicity, she also has to deal with her son’s new found ability to hear ghosts, her ex-husband’s attempts to reconcile by Christmas, and with Tony, the show’s sexy tech support, who pushes all her buttons. Tony is definitely one pushy guy, especially if Mary Catherine’s welfare or the show’s profits are at stake. When her son discovers the ghost of a murdered child at an abandoned rest stop, complications multiply. Tony then pushes Mary Catherine to let him offer more than just his technical support. Will the spirit move her to take a second chance on love in time for the new year? HEARING THINGS is a blast! It sucked me in and refused to let go until I finished the whole thing. Nancy Young has a great voice, funny and heart-touching by turns. Mary Catherine is a fine, intelligent heroine, stubbornly determined to handle every challenge that comes her way. Tony, her sexy hero, is both protective and kind, with a side order of unexpected male cluelessness at times that rings delightfully true. Nancy is now firmly on my auto buy list. Now, excuse me--I have to go look for her other books...--Angela Knight, New York Times best-selling author
