IT’S HERE! ‘Women’s Equality in America’ is available now. In the book, we journey from Witch Trials to #MeToo, from Shakespeare’s Wife to Riot Grrls, from the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 to America’s elections in 2022. The issue of women’s equality can be an emotional one, but the book respects feelings on both sides, for example, why some felt women’s right to vote was essential and others found it threatening. It also takes racial matters into consideration along with issues such as the men’s rights movement and the concept of reverse discrimination. ‘Women’s Equality in America’ draws connections, cites major players, and shows how this issue is relevant in our time. It’s as current as today’s headlines. JUST FOR FUN - ‘State Oddities: An Encyclopedia of What Makes Our United States Unique’ gives each reader a personal road trip across America. Along with the story of how each state was born, readers will enjoy an eye-opening journey through the nation’s fun side. ‘State Oddities’ offers a fascinating look at the character of America through the individuality of 50 very distinct states that somehow came together to form the USA. DON'T FORGET - ‘Popular Fads and Crazes through American History!’ It is THE source for the fun part of America’s story. This readable, entertaining, and informative book is ideal for both young people and adults. The engaging material includes short, charming sidebars to further illuminate each decade.

If you believe in ghosts, you're in good company. Haunted Histories brings America's most ghostly locales to life, illuminating their role in shaping U.

S. history and detailing how they became the nation's most feared places.

Haunted Histories takes readers on a state-by-state journey across the United States, exploring the nation's most feared places. Along the way, the text introduces readers to new ghostly tales and takes a fresh look at familiar stories and locations, with an eye to history.

From well-known spooky spots like Salem, Massachusetts, to such lesser-known ones as the Shanghai Tunnels of Portland, Oregon, where spirits are supposedly trapped, readers will discover not only where America's most haunted places are but also why they are said to be haunted. The ghosts of the doomed Donner Party allow readers to experience the arduous and often deadly journey of America's westward wagon trains, while different kinds of "spirits" haunting old distilleries allow readers to discover how whiskey almost derailed the new American nation before it was born.

This book can be studied for academic purposes as a historical reference, used as a source for classroom assignments, or simply read for the pleasure of a great story. .
