Avalon (Walker)

Avalon is a novel written by Shiloh Walker. It was first published in 2016.

## Description

The clock is ticking...

Born with a powerful psychic gift, Erin's entire life has been nothing more than a countdown. From the time she was fifteen, she's had one clear image in her mind - she would come face to face with a vicious killer before she was thirty.

He would die, but so would she.

With that sort of knowledge, having a life, falling in love... was there any point? No. But life and love happened anyway.

With time running out, Erin has to face the truth. She can't fight her heart, but can she fight the inevitable?

Seth fell hard for Erin, a fellow detective on the Avalon Police Department, but the woman he loved more than his own life did everything she could to keep him away.

When he discovers why, it's almost more than he can handle, but he almost lost her once.

He isn't going to lose her again.
Blarney: 12 Tales of Lies, Crime & Mystery

Blarney: 12 Tales of Lies, Crime & Mystery is a collection of short stories written by Steve Hockensmith. It was first published in 2012.

## Description

It's the ninth commandment: Thou shalt not lie. But if you've already covered the big sins on the list -- coveting, stealing, killing -- why balk at a fib...especially when it might save your neck?

That's why you'll find all kinds of lies in Steve Hockensmith's crime stories. Trying to cut through them to the truth are cops, private eyes, spies, criminals and ordinary people in way over their heads.

In the Derringer Award-winning "Erie's Last Day," a retiring detective races against the clock to solve one final case before he has to turn in his badge.

"Fred Menace, Commie for Hire" introduces the wildest P.I. ever to wisecrack his way through a case.

In "Strays," a paranoid old man's fantasies about a neighborhood crime ring turn out to be true...sort of.

"The Case of the Unfortunate Fortune Cookie" offers a hilarious answer to one of life's little mysteries: Why don't fortune cookies have real fortunes in them anymore?

Retired cop Larry Erie takes on his first case as a private detective -- the theft of an irreplaceable piece of baseball history -- in "Minor League."

In "Burl Lockhart's in Town," a pair of rustlers try to get the jump on the Pinkerton on their trail only to discover that he's even closer than they thought.

The search for a stolen dog leads Larry Erie to a deadly conspiracy in "Animals."

An innocent young man finds himself caught in the crossfire of a Chicago drug war in "Didn't Do Nothing."

In the Shamus Award finalist "Tricks," a reluctant Larry Erie finds himself dragged into the search for a kidnapped monkey.

"The MacGuffin Theft Case" tackles another of life's little mysteries -- why are pizzas round? -- and finds that the answer is "Communist spies." Really.

In the Shamus-, Barry- and Anthony-nominated "The Big Road," Larry Erie teams up with a trucker to find a highjacked shipment of TVs.

And "Blarney" takes a peek into the twisted mind of the world's most embittered crime writer.

Originally published in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and various anthologies, these 12 tales from short story master Steve Hockensmith (Holmes on the Range, Dreadfully Ever After) are sure to please any lover of quality crime fiction -- and that's no blarney!

Belle Brezing

Belle Brezing (June 16, 1860 – August 11, 1940) was a nationally known madam in Lexington, Kentucky at the end of the 19th century and into the beginning of the 20th.

Belle Brezing was born Mary Belle Cox, the illegitimate daughter of Sarah Ann Cox. Ms. Cox then married George Brezing, whose name Belle adopted. Brezing had one daughter, Daisy May Kenney, who was raised by a neighbor.

Brezing is believed to have been the model for Belle Watling in Gone with the Wind. She is buried in Calvary Cemetery in Lexington.

Belle's first job in a brothel began December 24, 1879, in a house maintained by Jenny Hill, which has the distinction of being the former residence of First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln.

Her final and most elaborate "working house" was located at 153 Megowan Street (now 153 N. Eastern Ave). The brothels in the area were shut down in 1915 under order of the US Army since they were considered a distraction for the soldiers in the area. Belle continued to live there until her death in 1940. Her estate was auctioned off over several days. The house was converted into apartments and in 1973 a fire consumed the upper floor. The remaining architectural details were auctioned off. Bricks salvaged from the home were sold to the public with the inscription: "Brick from the Belle Brezing Home - The most orderly of Dis-orderly Homes".

Still standing, one of her other former houses, is on the campus of Transylvania University, and houses a women's locker room.
"N" Is for Noose

"N" Is for Noose is a novel written by Sue Grafton. It was first published in 1998.

## Description

Kinsey Millhone should have done something else--she should have turned the car in the direction of home. Instead, she was about to put herself in the gravest jeopardy of her career.

Tom Newquist had been a detective in the Nota Lake sheriff's office--a tough, honest cop respected by everyone. When he died suddenly, the townsfolk were saddened but not surprised: Just shy of sixty-five, Newquist worked too hard, smoked too much, and exercised too little. That plus an appetite for junk food made him a poster boy for an American Heart Association campaign. Newquist's widow didn't doubt the coroner's report. But what Selma couldn't accept was not knowing what had so bothered Tom in the last six weeks of his life. What was it that had made him prowl restlessly at night, that had him brooding constantly? Selma Newquist wanted closure, and the only way she'd get it was if she found out what it was that had so bedeviled her husband. Kinsey should have dumped the case. It was vague and hopeless, like looking for a needle in a haystack. Instead, she set up shop in Nota Lake, where she found that looking for a needle in a haystack can draw blood. Very likely, her own."N" Is for Noose: a novel in which Kinsey Millhone becomes the target and an entire town seems in for the kill.
About Flight

About Flight is a collection of poetry written by Frank X Walker. It was first published in 2015.

## Description

"Up until this point in American history, no poet has written an honest and believable lament about the crippling effects from the tornado swirl of a crack pipe, how a little rock being melted between thin mesh screen creates pallid smoke: a monster, a slave to the white lady that is cocaine. In About Flight, Frank X Walker gives us the beautiful ugly narrative of a brother who is wrestling with chemical dependency, and losing. The high, in all of its beautiful contradictions takes on the metaphor of flight, and so we soar through the terrible highs and lows of a protagonist who carries his family with him into the den of iniquity." —Randall Horton

Adalin Wichman

Adalin Wichman (September 11, 1922 – March 10, 2013) was an American sculptor and artist from the U.S. state of Kentucky. Wichman designed the Eclipse Award Trophy in 1971, which are awarded to horses and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to equestrian sport. Her work also included jewelry design, paintings, bronze sculptures, and portraits. Examples of her work can be found in public and private collections worldwide, including the art collection of Queen Elizabeth II, the Kentucky Derby Museum and the Lexington Public Library.

She was born in Paris, Kentucky, September 11, 1922. She earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Kentucky, graduating magna cum laude. She married her husband, architect William Wichman, and settled in Lexington, Kentucky, where she pursued a career as an artist. She also taught English.

Adalin Wichman served as the adverting director for Keeneland, a Kentucky thoroughbred horse racing facility, from 1969 until 1989.

In 1971, Keeneland's J.B. Faulconer asked Wichman to create a bronze statuette to serve as the prize for the Thoroughbred Racing Association's Eclipse Award. Wichman based her design for the Eclipse Award Trophy on an 18th-century painting of the undefeated English racehorse, Eclipse. The first Eclipse Awards, featuring Wichman's trophy, was held in 1972 to honor the 1971 racing season.

In addition equestrian pieces, Wichman also created other non-equestrian works as well. She created the Foucault pendulum clock, which is displayed in the rotunda of the Lexington Public Library. Wichman designed a two-sided bust of the Kentuckian historian Thomas D. Clark, which is housed at the Lexington History Museum. Her painting of Lucille Caudill Little can be found hanging in the Little Fine Arts Library at the University of Kentucky.

Wichman was awarded the Milner Award in 2011, the highest prize awarded by the Kentucky Governor's Awards in the Arts.

Adalin Wichman died from a brief illness at her home in Lexington, Kentucky, on March 10, 2013, at the age of 90. She was survived by her two daughters, Adrian and Alison. Her husband, William, died in 2000. She is buried in Lexington Cemetery.

"H" Is for Homicide

"H" Is for Homicide is a novel written by Sue Grafton. It was first published in 1991.

## Description

His name was Parnell Perkins, and until shortly after midnight, he'd been a claims adjustor for California Fidelity. Then someone came along and put paid to that line of work. And to any other. Parnell Perkins had been shot at close range and left for dead in the parking lot outside California Fidelity's offices.

To the cops, it looked like a robbery gone sour. To Kinsey Millhone, it looked like the cops were walking away from the case. She didn't like the idea that a colleague and sometime drinking companion had been murdered. Or the idea that his murderer was loose and on the prowl. It made her feel exposed. Vulnerable.

Bibianna Diaz was afraid for her life. If there was one thing she knew for sure, it was that you didn't cross Raymond Maldonado and live to tell the tale. And Bibianna had well and truly crossed him, running out on his crazy wedding plans and going into hiding in Santa Teresa--light years away from the Los Angeles barrio that was home turf to Raymond and his gang. Now she needed money to buy time, to make sure she'd put enough space between them. And the quickest way she knew to get money was to work an insurance scam--just like the ones Raymond was running down in L.A. The trouble was, Bibianna picked California Fidelity as her mark. And it wasn't long before her name surfaced in one of Parnell Perkins's open files and Kinsey was on her case. But so, too, was her spurned suitor, Raymond Maldonado.

He had a rap sheet as long as his arm, a hair-trigger temper that was best left untested, and an inability to take no for an answer. He also had Tourette's syndrome, which did nothing to smooth out the kinks in his erratic and often violent behavior. All in all, Raymond Maldonado was not someone to spend a lot of time hanging out with. Unfortunately for Kinsey, she didn't have a lot of choice in the mater. Not after the love-sick Raymond kidnapped Bibianna. Like it or not, Kinsey was stuck babysitting Bibianna along with Raymond and his macho crew. You might say she was a prisoner of love.
Bell County, Kentucky: A Brief History

Bell County, Kentucky: A Brief History is a book written by Tim Cornett. It was first published in 2009.

## Description

Site of the Gateway to the West, the Cumberland Gap, the history of Kentucky begins right here in Bell County. Early pioneers like Thomas Walker and Daniel Boone endured the untamed wilderness and opened the door to the Bluegrass for civilizations to follow. Those who subsequently made their homes here--who eked a living out of the rocky soil, survived civil war, world war, labor war and the booms and busts of timber and coal--have preserved this pioneering spirit. Lifelong resident Tim Cornett presents the history of his homeland from its first known inhabitants through the twentieth century, drawing on old letters, memoirs and personal interviews from the men and women who explored the land, exploited the land and shaped it into the Bell County we know today.
A Plague of Shadows

A Plague of Shadows is a novel written by Gerald L. Coleman. It was first published in 2017.

## Description

A Lion That Walks has emerged in Kal'ada'abassa after nearly three thousand years. While some rejoice, others find his arrival disturbing, even as Bantu tries to make sense of it all. Far out on the Macca Deep, on the bridge of the Leviathan, Captain-Commander Basil Noruba Mandraggan chases down black ships as chaos erupts on the high seas, while another Captain-Commander of the Peoples Company, Onya Onoto, makes her way to the ancient city of Saladon, wondering what a once in a lifetime meeting of the Compact will bring.

The Watchman, Cordovan del Allegressa, looks for a way into the Hallowed Place of Horrors in the hopes that Mino din’ Darksbane yet lives, while their apprentices race headlong toward Palladawn with the message that evil lives. From Al'akaz to Mees, the portents of an oncoming storm rise as an ancient evil reaches out from the darkness, spreading its influence like a pestilence across the Twelve Nations. Little do the warriors, who stand in the Light, realize - though they are spread across the known world, they are all faced with the same onslaught of a plague they cannot escape - a plague of shadows.

Crystal Spiders

Crystal Spiders is a novel written by Graham Watkins. It was first published in 2013.

## Description

In the aftermath of a violent and bloody raid on a cocaine distribution warehouse in New York City in 1988, INS agent Henry Shelby discovers clues concerning a man who, he believes, might be the kingpin of the operation—and, possibly, an illegal in the US, making him Henry’s business. Following these clues up, he finds that a group of Americans, ten in all, accompanied this man on a flight to somewhere in Latin America, and that none of them ever returned. Henry and his assistant Martha Greene locate the pilot who flew them and, as he insists he cannot tell them where he took the group—it is not, he says, to be found on maps—but can show them, convince him to take them there. They plan on a simple “fly-over,” but their plane develops problems and they are forced to land. Henry soon finds himself not only taken captive by the people of the nearby village, but also immersed in a world he could not have imagined and cannot comprehend. His only thoughts are of escape.

At the same time, herpetologist Jeffrey Arnold, engaged in field studies of rattlesnakes in Arizona’s Chiricahua Mountains, makes his usual stop in the tiny village of San Miguel to visit his friend, Carla Contreras. He finds San Miguel changed since his last visit, and soon begins to suspect that the man behind these changes, Manuel Garibay, is restoring some of the practices of the ancient Aztecs of Mexico. In spite of his misgivings, he finds himself, guided by Carla, drawn more and more into the ways of the village.

And, in Pocatello, Idaho, Karen Sullivan wonders about the young man staying at her boarding house, a man who calls himself Tommy Neuse, a man who behaves in strange ways and seems to be able to see the future. When she witnesses him performing some sort of strange ritual in the hills, he leaves; but after he does, a woman turns up looking for him. She kidnaps Karen and takes her to New York City where she is held, she assumes, as some sort of “bait” for Tommy.

And in the end, Henry, Jeff, and Karen are all pulled toward San Miguel, toward incredible events none of them could have predicted…

Confederate Monument in Russellville

The Confederate Monument in Russellville, in the middle of the Russellville Historic District of Russellville, Kentucky, is a monument to the Confederate States of America that is on the National Register of Historic Places since July 17, 1997.

It was built in 1910 by the Camp Caldwell chapter of the United Confederate Veterans, Chapter No. 139. It features a block arch atop a pedestal, with a bronze eagle measuring two feet high and long, on top of the monument, and a Confederate soldier statue inside the arch. The base is six feet tall, constructed of limestone bricks. The arch is made of limestone, and the soldier statue, portraying a Confederate soldier wearing a slouch hat and holding a rifle, is made of bronze. On the back of the monument are the words Deo Vindice (Latin), which was the official motto of the Confederate States of America, and translates from the Latin as "With God our Vindicator".

The location of the monument is important, as the nearby William Forst House was the site of the founding of the Confederate government of Kentucky in November 1861. Over 1000 residents of Russellville served in the Army of the Confederate States of America, compared to 500 who served in the Union Army of the United States of America. The Forst House still stands today.

On July 17, 1997, the Confederate Monument in Russellville was one of sixty different monuments related to the Civil War in Kentucky placed on the National Register of Historic Places, as part of the Civil War Monuments of Kentucky Multiple Property Submission.

Confederate Soldier Monument in Caldwell

The Confederate Soldier Monument in Caldwell is a historic statue located on the Caldwell County Courthouse lawn in the county seat of Princeton, Kentucky, United States. It was erected in 1912 by the Tom Johnson Chapter No. 886 of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

The entire 15-foot-tall monument is made of granite; mostly gray granite, but with some white granite. The southward-facing statue has been said to be "defiant", with its back to the North, its defiant gaze, and its proud mustache.

The statue's inscription reads "C.S.A. In Memory of Confederate Soldiers and the Cause for Which They Fought 1861-1865. Erected by Tom Johnson Chapter UDC". A Confederate battle flag is engraved on the left side of the statue's base.

It was dedicated to a large crowd including surviving local Confederate veterans of Jim Pearce Camp No. 527, United Confederate Veterans, on November 12, 1912. Many businesses in Princeton closed for the ceremony.

On July 17, 1997, the Confederate Soldier Monument of Caldwell County was one of sixty-one different monuments related to the Civil War in Kentucky placed on the National Register of Historic Places, as part of the Civil War Monuments of Kentucky Multiple Property Submission.

"Q" Is for Quarry

"Q" Is for Quarry is a novel written by Sue Grafton. It was first published in 2002.

## Description

She was a "Jane Doe," an unidentified white female whose decomposed body was discovered near a quarry off California's Highway 1. The case fell to the Santa Teresa County Sheriff's Department, but the detectives had little to go on. The woman was young, her hands were bound with a length of wire, there were multiple stab wounds, and her throat had been slashed. After months of investigation, the murder remained unsolved.

That was eighteen years ago. Now the two men who found the body, both nearing the end of long careers in law enforcement, want one last shot at the case. Old and ill, they need someone to help with their legwork and they turn to Kinsey Millhone. They will, they tell her, find closure if they can just identify the victim. Kinsey is intrigued and agrees to the job.

But revisiting the past can be a dangerous business, and what begins with the pursuit of Jane Doe's real identity ends in a high-risk hunt for her killer.

"Q" is for Quarry is based on an unsolved homicide that occurred in 1969, and Grafton's interest in the case has generated renewed police efforts. During the past year, the body was exhumed and a nationally known forensic artist did the facial reconstruction that appears in the closing pages of "Q" is for Quarry. Both Grafton and the dedicated members of the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department are hoping the photograph will trigger memories that may lead to a positive identification.

On the day Jane Doe was reburied, many officers were at the gravesite. "It's eerie," Grafton writes, "to think about the power this woman still has. Here we are, thirty-three years later, and she still wants to go home."
Bill Sowders

William Jefferson "Little Bill" Sowders (November 29, 1864 – February 2, 1951) was a professional baseball player. He was a right-handed pitcher over parts of three seasons (1888–1890) with the Boston Beaneaters and Pittsburgh Alleghenys. For his career, he compiled a 29–30 record in 71 appearances, with a 3.34 earned run average and 205 strikeouts.

Anshei Sfard Cemetery

Anshei Sfard Cemetery is located on 721 Locust Lane in Louisville, Jefferson County.

The Jewish graveyard on Preston Street actually contains several cemeteries, each maintained by different congregations. Anshei Sfard Cemetery is located at 721 Locust Lane, just around the corner from Preston Street. Although large and well-maintained, this cemetery, with a dumpster visible in the driveway and views of an industrial area and the Fairgrounds across the street, is not visually appealing. The gravestones at Anshei Sfard, though, are in remarkably good shape. Only the very oldest are cracked, or starting to grow moss. Only two were knocked over. While the writing is fading on some stones, I was still able to read gravestones dating back to 1898. The gravestones at Anshei Sfard are fairly uniform. Most of the gravestones at Anshei Sfard are large and impressive, of gray stone, with the standard shape being a square on a base. Perhaps this shape, with a flat top, is customary in order to facilitate the Jewish tradition of placing a rock on the top of the gravestone to honor the dead. In addition to the names and dates of birth and death, almost every gravestone in this cemetery is adorned with the Star of David. Nearly all have inscriptions written in Hebrew. Several gravestones have photographs of the deceased, which is a nice touch. Many of the children’s stones here are very small, just about the size of a brick. The care and attention evident here is reflective of the importance that Jewish people place on showing respect for the dead and providing comfort to the living.
Confederate Monument of Bowling Green

The Confederate Monument of Bowling Green, in Bowling Green, Kentucky, is among the sixty-one monuments of the Civil War Monuments of Kentucky Multiple Property Submission, all of which became part of the National Register of Historic Places on July 17, 1997. It is within Bowling Green's Fairview Cemetery, on the east side of the old/northern side of the cemetery.

The monument is made of white limestone that was locally acquired. It cost $1,500 to build, attained by a subscription drive that ran from 1875 until the monument's dedication on May 3, 1876. The obelisk stands thirty feet tall, and is draped by a carved Confederate flag. A bas-relief of a painting popular in the Reconstruction-South, Henry Mosler's "Lost Cause", which typified the devastation Northern invaders inflicted upon Southern homesteads, was placed on the front of the monument. Different reliefs are on other sides of the monument.

Statues of cannons pointed straight up are twenty feet away from each corner of the main monuments, and are eight feet tall. Cannonballs are depicted around the base of the cannon monuments.

A marker describing the monument lies in front of the monument, beside the cemetery road. The marker contains a factual error, saying that Thomas Hines was unable to make it to the dedication due to dying before then. In actuality, Hines would not die for another twenty-two years; his grave is in the same cemetery. Another problem with the marker is that it gives Henry Mosler's last name as Moseler.

Surrounding the monument are the graves of seventy Confederate soldiers, some of them unidentified.

It was built thanks to the efforts of George B. Payne. In 1875, he lived in Topeka, Kansas, but had served in the Confederate 4th Kentucky Infantry during the Civil War, spending much time around Bowling Green as he was a courier under General John C. Breckinridge. He desired a monument honoring the Confederate war dead buried at the cemetery. This caused the Warren County Monumental Association to form, with Thomas Hines, who had served as a spy under John Hunt Morgan but was now living in Bowling Green, serving as president. Popular support for the monument came from the barbaric actions of Union general Stephen Burbridge, who sought to murder Confederate soldiers for any reason, resulting in the deaths of twenty-two residents of Warren County in 1864. Prior to that time, the Union saw more support in the county, though the Confederate government of Kentucky briefly resided in Bowling Green 1861–1862.

Over ten thousand people came to the dedication of the monument. The dedication speaker was William Campbell Preston Breckinridge, who served as a colonel for John Hunt Morgan's 9th Kentucky Cavalry, and was instrumental in many veteran organizations for former Confederate soldiers.

One other Civil War monument is at Fairview Cemetery, the William F. Perry Monument.

Conner Steele has nothing but respect for ladies. He absolutely adores them and takes more than a little bit of pride in his job - or rather, his former job.

After a run-in with a cop, former male escort Con, along with his brother Riley and best friend Shame, decided it might just be best to hang up their... hats and retire from the business of being paid to pleasure.

After all, they have a profitable business going with their new pub. No reason to ruin a good thing and Con is more than happy to keep pleasing the ladies - just... no longer as a job. Finding a date or company for the night has never been an issue for him, either. He's been told more than once that he can charm a tiger out of its stripes. But lately a new hire at the bar is turning the tables on him - she is the one charming him, twisting him up into knots and getting him so worked up, he can barely see straight.

In his rather expert opinion, Shawntelle Callahan is nothing less than a queen.

And she's a queen on a mission, too. Even as tangled up as he is over her, he can see that. First she tries to coax him out of retirement for one last engagement. When that doesn't work, she sets out to drive him crazy. After finally admitting that she's a writer who's looking to do a story on male escorts, Con realizes it will be best to just stay away from Shawntelle. Sure, she says she's just looking for some hands-on information but he knows there's more to it than that. There are secrets in her eyes, barely hidden lies and doubt.
