New Releases
Harriet Rochlin: PioneerJews: A New Life in the Far West
After twenty-six years in print at Houghton Mifflin, Harriet
Rochlin's landmark illustrated social history, has been re-published by the Authors Guild/iUniverse. The San Francisco Chronicle celebrated it as "social history
at its best -- entertaining, engaging and filled with little known information
about famous and not so famous Jewish pioneers." Several valuable new features have been
added, including updated contact information for 64 of the 219 period
photographs; and newly-obtained facts about the image of a semi-nude woman long
misidentified as Josie Marcus Earp, 47-year companion of Wyatt Earp.
Natalie Bright: "A Cowboy's Life" appears in the
March 2014 edition of APPLESEEDS, a social studies magazine for kids ages 6-9.
The article includes Natalie's photos taken during their spring branding. Kids
will learn that ranchers rely on the work that cowboys and cowgirls do even
today as they did in the old west.
Nanette Day writing as C. Jai Ferry has published three
ebooks of short storycollections Honeysuckle Road, Honeysuckle Memories,
and Honeysuckle Dreams, which
explore everyday relationships among people making life-altering decisions
in not-soeveryday situations.
Awards
and Recognition
Roni McFadden: TheLongest Trail has won the EPIC award for non-fiction. As a young teen,
McFadden left behind the confusion and pain of her unhappy preteen years. She
tells of how she went up—up onto horses, up the road to a man who could help
her, and up the mountain, to where she could see clearly and breathe deeply. As
she travels "The Longest Trail", Roni evolves from a girl stumbling
along treacherous and twisted paths to become a strong young woman who knows
where she is going, how to get there, and understands she will have help along
the way.
“As you ride with McFadden up the trail in this book, you
will know the joy, fear, grief, humor, beauty and wonder she experienced in the
high country, in Altadena, and all along the way, as she journeyed to this time
and place by way of "The Longest Trail." ~M. Cairn
