In Mr. Malta's first published novel, Evangelist Caper, Nassau County Detective Michael Ryan never dreamed that a charitable function would provide such profound changes to his life. Along with his partner Peggy Younger, he has become embroiled in the brutal murder of the wealthy and beautiful Evangelist, Tamara Steele. The case leads the two detectives down a path of intrigue where deception and corruption become the order of the day. The Tamara Steele murder forces Mike into corridors he can not otherwise avoid: the unsolved killing of his wife Katie, the care of his disabled son, Jamie and his relationship to Peggy, who is a born-again Christian. Who killed the charismatic Tamara? What was the motive for this brutal murder? Could it be greed, jealousy? Or was it the working of a deranged killer seeking revenge? Richard A. Malta lives with his lovely wife Alice in Freeport. NY. He received a Masters Degree in Education and a Bachelor of Arts in English. For the last six years Richard and Alice have attended The Charismatic Episcopal Church in Malverne, New York, where they have been taught the love and healing power of a heavenly Father. Ever since he accepted Jesus as Lord in 1976, he has attempted to promote the courage and strength of humankind spawned by God's love and His grace. Through writing, Richard portrays people struggling through life ignorant of the Father's perfect plan for them. Finally, by surrendering to Him life becomes a tremendous banquet.

One of Mississippi's most fascinating personalities and one of its absolutely best raconteurs, Capers can hold any reader or listener enthralled with her witty, delicious narratives. Here she focuses upon whatever seized her insights—mainly life in its ordinary gait—yet her reports of the smalltown scene are as alluring as the tales of Shaharazade. These delightful essays, as Eudora Welty says in the foreword, “were written to amuse, and they abundantly do so.”

This is the year "It's Greek to me" becomes the happy answer to what's for dinner. My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the upcoming epic Troy, the 2004 Summer Olympics returning to Athens--and now, yet another reason to embrace all things Greek: The Olive and the Caper, Susanna Hoffman's 700-plus-page serendipity of recipes and adventure. In Corfu, Ms. Hoffman and a taverna owner cook shrimp fresh from the trap--and for us she offers the boldly-flavored Shrimp with Fennel, Green Olives, Red Onion, and White Wine. She gathers wild greens and herbs with neighbors, inspiring Big Beans with Thyme and Parsley, and Field Greens and Ouzo Pie. She learns the secret to chewy country bread from the baker on Santorini and translates it for American kitchens. Including 325 recipes developed in collaboration with Victoria Wise (her co-author on The Well-Filled Tortilla Cookbook, with over 258,000 copies in print), The Olive and the Caper celebrates all things Greek: Chicken Neo-Avgolemeno. Fall-off-the-bone Lamb Shanks seasoned with garlic, thyme, cinnamon and coriander. Siren-like sweets, from world-renowned Baklava to uniquely Greek preserves: Rose Petal, Cherry and Grappa, Apricot and Metaxa. In addition, it opens with a sixteen-page full-color section and has dozens of lively essays throughout the book--about the origins of Greek food, about village life, history, language, customs--making this a lively adventure in reading as well as cooking.

Most histories of the American South describe the conflict between evangelical religion and honor culture as one of the defining features of southern life before the Civil War. The story is usually told as a battle of clashing worldviews, but in this book, Robert Elder challenges this interpretation by illuminating just how deeply evangelicalism in Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian churches was interwoven with traditional southern culture, arguing that evangelicals owed much of their success to their ability to appeal to people steeped in southern honor culture. Previous accounts of the rise of evangelicalism in the South have told this tale as a tragedy in which evangelicals eventually adopted many of the central tenets of southern society in order to win souls and garner influence. But through an examination of evangelical language and practices, Elder shows that evangelicals always shared honor's most basic assumptions. Making use of original sources such as diaries, correspondence, periodicals, and church records, Elder recasts the relationship between evangelicalism and secular honor in the South, proving the two concepts are connected in much deeper ways than have ever been previously understood.
