Charles Cooper, III and Stella Samuel join forces to bring writing treasures to the world in the Elizabeth River Press Annual. A place where writers belong, feel welcome, and can build their foundation, no matter where their writing career takes them, this year's Annual celebrates writers from all over the world. The Elizabeth River Writers is a well-versed tribe of prose writers and poets.
When Stella Samuel heard complaints of new writers submitting and hearing no constantly, she discovered not a lack of skill in writing, but a lack of publishers who would take on the influx of writing. After years of publishing experience, she asked Charles Cooper from Elizabeth River Press to partner with her and help build a tribe of writers to uplift and support each other as they travel their personal and professional journeys into the world of publishing. We hope you enjoy these pieces from thirty-four authors, this year's Elizabeth River Writers, in the 2020 Annual, a compilation of life through words.
The Hudson River Valley was the first iconic American landscape. Beginning as early as the 1820s, artists and writers found new ways of thinking about the human relationship with the natural world along the Hudson. Here, amid the most dramatic river and mountain scenery in the eastern United States, Washington Irving and James Fenimore Cooper created a distinctly American literature, grounded in folklore and history, that contributed to the emergence of a sense of place in the valley. Painters, led by Thomas Cole, founded the Hudson River School, widely recognized as the first truly national style of art. As the century advanced and as landscape and history became increasingly intertwined in the national consciousness, an aesthetic identity took shape in the region through literature, art, memory, and folklore—even gardens and domestic architecture. In Sanctified Landscape, David Schuyler recounts this story of America's idealization of the Hudson Valley during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Schuyler's story unfolds during a time of great change in American history. At the very moment when artists and writers were exploring the aesthetic potential of the Hudson Valley, the transportation revolution and the rise of industrial capitalism were transforming the region. The first generation of American tourists traveled from New York City to Cozzens Hotel and the Catskill Mountain House in search of the picturesque. Those who could afford to live some distance from jobs in the city built suburban homes or country estates. Given these momentous changes, it is not surprising that historic preservation emerged in the Hudson Valley: the first building in the United States preserved for its historic significance is Washington's Headquarters in Newburgh. Schuyler also finds the seeds of the modern environmental movement in the transformation of the Hudson Valley landscape.Richly illustrated and compellingly written, Sanctified Landscape makes for rewarding reading. Schuyler expertly ties local history to national developments, revealing why the Hudson River Valley was so important to nineteenth-century Americans—and why it is still beloved today.

Описание:
River Rules is a small-town suspense novel with a deep heart and powerful conscience. What the housing bubble didn't break in Bridgeville, a small New England community blessed by the Connecticut River, greed, double-dealing and rapid-fire change just might. Peter Russo, a part-time farmer and full-time rambler with his rescue dog, has a knack for conflict and a burning desire to protect Bridgeville's land and water from exploitation.
His best buddy, John Tomassi, a local cop, doesn't want to be his babysitter nor does his brother, Jeff. Peter's ex-lover, Carmen, has no use for him as she double-downs on her profitable apple orchard, but Rachel, his niece, needs his partnership in a food truck. Peter's trouble with Bridgeville's bureaucracy reunites him with two of his former club baseball players, Marco Torres, now on the wrong side of the law, and Kenny Johnson, a young cop. Peter's helping hand not only gives Marco the chance he needs, but Marco and Kenny find that there's more that connects them than divides them. The food truck is a lifeline to almost everyone except Nancy, Peter's old friend, sinking fast from health issues and the aftermath of date rape.
Nobody's famous and nobody's rich except Brock Saunders, a local bully turned Ponzi-schemer and sexual predator. With Bridgeville life at the mercy of cultural crosswinds and economic forces seemingly beyond control, love, loss, baseball, and the search for truth create a spinning wheel of unexpected alliances, unsung heroes and treachery.
