Director of Sub-Rights: Jacqueline Murphy [email protected] FICTION Mystery/Thriller/Crime/ Steampunk Gretchen Archer The Davis Way Crime Caper Series (Books 1 & 2) Mystery/Crime Caper ✴ Henery Press “Funny & wonderful & human. It gets the Stephanie Plum seal of approval.” -Janet Evanovich Rights Available: Translation _____________ Rights Sold: Audio (Audible) Double Whammy (2013) Davis Way thinks she’s hit the jackpot when she lands a job as the fifth wheel on an elite security team at the fabulous Bellissimo Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. But once there, she runs straight into her ex-husband, a rigged slot machine, her evil twin, and a trail of dead bodies. Davis learns the truth and it does not set her free--in fact, it lands her in the pokey. Buried under a mistaken identity, unable to seek help from her family, her hot streak runs cold until her landlord, Bradley Cole, steps in. Make that her landlord, lawyer, and love interest. With his help, Davis must win this high stakes game before her luck runs out. Double Dip (2014) It’s Davis Way’s first slot-tournament season working on the Bellissimo Resort and Casino’s elite security team. And it may very well be her last. When the Gulf weather turns chilly, the casino’s high rollers take cover at the slot machines, where they compete in tournaments featuring fantastic odds, extravagant prizes, and colossal jackpots. Tournament play begins just as a perfect storm blows in: Bianca Sanders’ personal assistant goes missing, a little old lady who lives at a church goes on a suspicious winning streak, and a Bellissimo executive goes gaga for Davis. When she’s not disguised as a tournament player or batting away unwanted attention, Davis follows a trail of disappearing slot-tournament players. She hits a dead end at the So Help Me God Pentecostal Church in Beehive, Alabama, where she jumps headlong into a high stakes holy scandal. The good news is, she’s too busy at work to worry about the bad news at home, where Mary Harper Hathaway, Southern Belle Home Wrecker, threatens everything Davis loves when she joins her boyfriend Bradley Cole’s legal team. Bradley is the love of Davis’s life, but what if she’s not his? The worst? Davis doesn’t feel so hot. Maybe it’s the banana pudding, or maybe it’s a little bundle of something else. Gretchen Archer is a Tennessee housewife who began writing when her daughters, seeking higher educations, ran off and left her. She lives on Lookout Mountain with her husband, son, and a Yorkie named Bently. Gretchen Archer The Davis Way Crime Caper Series (Books 3 & 4) Mystery/Crime Caper ✴ Henery Press Double Strike (2014) Davis Way knows three things: Cooking isn’t a prerequisite for a happy marriage, don’t trust men who look like David Hasselhoff, and money doesn’t grow on Christmas trees. None of which help when a storm hits the Gulf a week before the most anticipated event in Bellissimo history: the Strike It Rich Sweepstakes. Securing the guests, staff, and property might take a stray bullet. Or two. Davis Way has three problems: She’s desperate to change her marital status, she has a new boss who speaks in hashtags, and Bianca Sanders has confiscated her clothes. All of which bring on a headache hot enough to spark a fire. Solving her problems means stealing a car. From a dingbat lawyer. Davis Way has three goals: Keep the Sanders family out of prison, regain her footing in her relationship, and find the genius who wrote the software for futureGaming. One of which, the manhunt one, is iffy. Because when Alabama hides someone, they hide them good. DOUBLE STRIKE. A VIP invitation to an extraordinary high-stakes gaming event, as thieves, feds, dance instructors, shady bankers, kidnappers, and gold waiters go all in. Rights Available: Translation _____________ Rights Sold: Audio (Audible) Double Mint (2015) It’s convention season at the Bellissimo Resort and Casino and Davis Way Cole barely notices. It’s hard to pay attention when you live in a Jambalaya Junkyard. But when Special Events Coordinator Holder Darby walks off the job just as five hundred Alabama bankers pour in the front door, Davis steps up. Or would that be in? Definitely in. Davis steps in. It. Not only has the convention director vanished, but also a certain Bellissimo guest is missing. One who forgot to pack the million dollars he left in the bathtub. It looks like our redhead newlywed Super Secret Spy’s lazy summer is over when the Bellissimo vault is robbed. Can Davis connect the dots before it’s too late? Can she get her Taser gun back from Bianca Sanders? Will she be stuck with Eddie Crawford’s 1962 Cadillac forever? What Davis needs is a little faith. And a lot of luck.

But she didn’t reckon the job would whisk her away to a storybook castle in the heart of Grimm territory. When the ruins of Snow White’s cottage are discovered in the castle forest—complete with a dwarf ’s skeleton—and the millionaire is done in with a poisoned apple, Ophelia is obliged to take matters into her own capable hands before she’s locked up in a tower like Rapunzel. With the help of Professor Penrose—the suspiciously swashbuckling scholar who’s come to study the cottage—Ophelia snoops through the secrets of a wicked stepsister, a Russian princess, a roulette-cursed aristocrat, a dwarf financier, and a village-full of shifty folk, unraveling a tale of blackmail, gold, and priceless relics that’s as thorny as the brambles of the Black Forest.

But when they arrive at Henrietta’s crumbling, mouse-infested Paris mansion, Henrietta has gone missing and Prue’s two spoiled stepsisters have wicked plans up their sleeves. Things turn more peculiar still when Ophelia and Prue stumble upon a girl, wearing a gold-and-silver ball gown and one glass slipper, dead as a doornail in the mansion’s overgrown pumpkin patch . and the corpse bears an uncanny likeness to Prue. As Ophelia and Penrose stalk the murderer through sinister clockwork toy shops, labyrinthine backstage corridors in the Paris Opera’s Salle Le Peletier, and an enchanting countryside château, they piece together the puzzle of a scheming ballerina, a charmless prince, a troupe of mousy seamstresses, and a fairy godmother-like couturiere whose sumptuous gowns just might have magical—or deadly—powers of transformation.

  • Everything You Wanted to Know About Transgender Studies but Were Afraid to Ask Clara Reeve
    humanities Article “More and More Fond of Reading”: Everything You Wanted to Know about Transgender Studies but Were Afraid to Ask Clara Reeve Desmond Huthwaite Faculty of English, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 1TN, UK; [email protected] Abstract: Clara Reeve’s (1729–1807) Gothic novel The Old English Baron is a node for contemplating two discursive exclusions. The novel, due to its own ambiguous status as a gendered “body”, has proven a difficult text for discourse on the Female Gothic to recognise. Subjected to a temperamental dialectic of reclamation and disavowal, The Old English Baron can be made to speak to the (often) subordinate position of Transgender Studies within the field of Queer Studies, another relationship predicated on the partial exclusion of undesirable elements. I treat the unlikely transness of Reeve’s body of text as an invitation to attempt a trans reading of the bodies within the text. Parallel to this, I de- velop an attachment genealogy of Queer and Transgender Studies that reconsiders essentialism—the kind both practiced by Female Gothic studies and also central to the logic of Reeve’s plot—as a fantasy that helps us distinguish where a trans reading can depart from a queer one, suggesting that the latter is methodologically limited by its own bad feelings towards the former. Keywords: Clara Reeve; Female Gothic; trans; queer; gender; embodiment The “literary offspring of the Castle of Otranto” had, and continues to have, something Citation: Huthwaite, Desmond. 2021. of a difficult birth.1 In its first year of life, the text was christened twice (titled The Champion “More and More Fond of Reading”: of Virtue in 1777, then Old English Baron in a revised 1778 edition); described alternately Everything You Wanted to Know as a transcription, a translation, a history, a romance, and (most enduringly) a “Gothic about Transgender Studies but Were story”; attributed to “the editor of the PHOENIX” and then to Clara Reeve; and subjected Afraid to Ask Clara Reeve.

  • How Twin Peaks Changed the Face of Contemporary Television
    “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style” 44 DOI: 10.1515/abcsj-2015-0003 “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style”: How Twin Peaks Changed the Face of Contemporary Television RALUCA MOLDOVAN Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca Abstract The present study revisits one of American television’s most famous and influential shows, Twin Peaks, which ran on ABC between 1990 and 1991. Its unique visual style, its haunting music, the idiosyncratic characters and the mix of mythical and supernatural elements made it the most talked-about TV series of the 1990s and generated numerous parodies and imitations. Twin Peaks was the brainchild of America’s probably least mainstream director, David Lynch, and Mark Frost, who was known to television audiences as one of the scriptwriters of the highly popular detective series Hill Street Blues. When Twin Peaks ended in 1991, the show’s severely diminished audience were left with one of most puzzling cliffhangers ever seen on television, but the announcement made by Lynch and Frost in October 2014, that the show would return with nine fresh episodes premiering on Showtime in 2016, quickly went viral and revived interest in Twin Peaks’ distinctive world. In what follows, I intend to discuss the reasons why Twin Peaks was considered a highly original work, well ahead of its time, and how much the show was indebted to the legacy of classic American film noir; finally, I advance a few speculations about the possible plotlines the series might explore upon its return to the small screen. Keywords: Twin Peaks, television series, film noir, David Lynch Introduction: the Lynchian universe In October 2014, director David Lynch and scriptwriter Mark Frost announced that Twin Peaks, the cult TV series they had created in 1990, would be returning to primetime television for a limited nine episode run 45 “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style” broadcast by the cable channel Showtime in 2016.
