From FBI: Most Wanted's Dylan McDermott and former FBI Special Agent Christopher Whitcomb, a revealing investigation into the disappearance of the Springfield Three, a cold case that has bewildered police officers, the FBI, and avid true crime followers for three decades

On June 7, 1992, in Springfield, Missouri, Suzanne "Suzie" Streeter, her friend Stacy McCall, and Streeter's mother, Sherrill Levitt, disappeared from Levitt's residence without a trace. Police found the televisions on, clothing where it should be, and the family dog safely inside. There was no indication of forced entry, no evidence of assault or violent abduction. The family's cars were locked. The neighbors reported nothing.

News spread quickly, with hypotheses about the "Springfield Three" discussed as fervently as the speculation over who killed JonBenét Ramsey just a few years later. Segments by America's Most Wanted, 48 Hours, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and a People magazine article produced thousands of leads. A task force of FBI agents and police worked round the clock for months, resulting in more than 20,000 pages of forensics and analysis. Detectives interviewed a dozen persons of interest. And yet, more than thirty years after the disappearance, the case has never been solved.

In White Pines and Stone, former FBI Special Agent Christopher Whitcomb and FBI: Most Wanted's Dylan McDermott draw on their own deeply personal connections to this case--as well as files only previously seen by law enforcement officers--to reveal the chilling details, the suspects who have interested authorities over the years, and the newly discovered investigative breakthroughs they hope will lead them to the women's bodies in what they believe to be a forest of "white pines and stone." Together, they will shed new light on an infamous case that has captured the public's attention like few others.

A New York Times bestselling LitRPG indie bestseller, for fans of The Legend of Zelda and Dungeon Crawler Carl.

For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save. And so, Yui Shaw sets out with an ambitious plan. A 10-step plan. She'll find a way to obtain the Hero's legendary sword. She'll earn obscure classes, gain levels, and increase her skills. She'll travel to the meticulously-crafted dungeons that seem designed for one specific Hero to complete. And, if she's truly (un)fortunate, she might even find a fairy.

From the founding of Oklahoma City in 1889 to the present day, this ambitious narrative documents the evolution of the city's parks, public places, and open spaces, illuminating the history of iconic projects such as Grand Boulevard and Scissortail Park, while equally honoring the quieter corners that have fostered community and connection across neighborhoods.

Parks of Oklahoma City explores the profound impact of both dedicated natural spaces and flora itself on Oklahoma City's quality of life. From native prairie grasses to the carefully curated plants adorning our city today, the authors highlight the challenges and triumphs faced by those who have shaped the urban ecosystem.

Integral to this story are the visionaries and leaders, such as Henry Walter and Margaret Annis Boys, whose contributions have left an indelible mark on Oklahoma City's landscape. Their legacies, along with those of many others, underscore the transformative power of collective effort in enhancing the urban environment.

Presented in a full-color, hardbound book containing hundreds of archival and contemporary images, this illustrated history creates a compelling visual narrative that complements the meticulously researched historical account.

For fans of How We Heal and Becoming the One, a global wellness leader offers a counterpoint to the modern culture of relying on external therapies and supplements for healing, guiding readers to their own innate capacity to trust and heal themselves with the tools they already have access to

We live in a world where we're told we need weekly therapy, a stack of expensive daily supplements, and a two-hour morning routine before we can expect to feel better about ourselves. Let alone handle the daily struggle of living in a modern world where everything seems to be falling apart. And while there are so many ways to "feel better" and "do more," -our biggest issue today is that we have forgotten that we already have everything we need inside of us.

It's All Within You shifts the focus from chasing external quick fixes to recognizing and trusting your innate wholeness. Global wellness expert, Millana Snow, reminds us of our inherent power to heal and transform ourselves by coming home to ourselves. Drawing on her thirty years of exploration in meditation, healing and spirituality, Millana shares the seven essential principles that serve as starting points to begin personal transformation from the inside out--awareness, presence, cultivation, integration, grieving, faith, and rest. Backed by real-life examples and practices that she's taught to thousands of people, these principles will foster a deeper awareness of the effects of personal and collective trauma so you can tackle the stress and daily struggles of your life head on, rather than just managing the symptoms.

It's All Within You is a manifesto that considers us all healers. When we recognize our power and choose to make healing a way of life, we shift from being passively formed by our circumstances to forming our life as we choose.

There's love from sea to shining sea!

In time for the 250th anniversary of the United States, this illustrated gift book is a perfect way to celebrate the people and the places that make America.

From pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, via the powerful figure of Santa Muerte, to racism in the Bronx, this anthology of speculative stories and essays by Latin American writers, about Latin American life and beyond, is an engrossing and important read.

This vibrant anthology presents a selection of speculative stories and fascinating essays highlighting the many voices, mythologies, folklore and storytelling prowess of authors from Latin American countries or writing in the traditions of the Latin American diaspora.

Edited by the wonderful V. Castro, Mexican-American speculative, horror and sci-fi writer extraordinaire and author of Mestiza Blood and The Queen of the Cicadas, the authors featured are: Hector Acosta, Alyssa Alessi, Gustavo Bondoni, David Bowles, Arasibo Campeche and Carra Flowers, Dr. R. Andrew Chesnut, Angel Luis Colón, Rios de la Luz, Ivette N. Diaz, Laura Diaz de Arce, J.F. Gonzalez, L.P. Hernandez, Pedro Iniguez, Ruth Joffre, S. Alessandro Martinez, Juliana Spink Mills, Vanessa Molina, Mo Moshaty, Richie Narvaez, Wi-Moto Nyoka, Daniel A. Olivas, Monique Quintana, A.E. Santana and Richard Z. Santos.

Spanning the many cultures of the region, stories range from those that explore heritage and the importance of ancestors to ones that imagine new worlds and futures, but at their core they all celebrate and give agency to oft-underrepresented Latin American characters and concerns, while the book will help counter the lack of contemporary Latin American literature.

The Flame Tree Beyond and Within short story collections bring together tales of myth and imagination by modern and contemporary writers, carefully selected by anthologists, and sometimes featuring short stories from a single author. Overall, the series presents a wide range of diverse and inclusive voices with myth, folkloric-inflected short fiction, and an emphasis on the supernatural, science fiction, the mysterious and the speculative. The books themselves are gorgeous, with foiled covers, printed edges and published only in hardcover editions, offering a lifetime of reading pleasure.

In the newest novel in the Port William series, Wendell Berry's beloved protagonist Andy Catlett tells the inspiring story of his grandfather Marce Catlett to his own children and grandchildren, and gives them a key to their place on the questionably settled land they all love

Andy Catlett's story begins as his grandfather Marce Catlett rises in the dark to travel from his farm by horseback and train to Louisville for the auction of his 1906 tobacco crop. The price paid for each year's crop has been depressed to virtually nothing by the power of a single buyer, James B. Duke. This year is especially grim since the price offered to each grower is less than the expense of bringing the crop to market. A year's labor is lost.

Marce returns to his family defeated, defiant, and determined to grow another crop. Many of his fellow farmers at first seem to lack the resiliency and resourcefulness to continue. Only with the cooperation of other growers can a way be found that protects these farmers and keeps their rural families vital and in place.

The power and depth of this story--and of the many stories within the history of the Port William Membership--resonate with love, kindness, and the held memory of family and community. In Marce Catlett: The Force of a Story, celebrated author Wendell Berry brings to life a tale that devoted readers of the series will cherish. This moving novel is a testament to the goodwill that lives within the human heart and a stirring reminder that standing up for what we believe in is always a cause worth fighting for.
