Thomas Fox Averill - Secrets of the Tsil Café
Item Description
Raised in the traditional kitchen from which his mother runs her Buen AppeTito catering service, Weston Tito Hingler's childhood is shaped by the foods he eats, especially those he must try before he is allowed to enter the Tsil Café where his father invites--and at times challenges--diners to experience foods of the New World cooked New Mexican style.

Cover Image For Thomas Fox Averill - <i>rode</i>

Thomas Fox Averill - rode
Item Description
When Thomas Fox Averill first heard Jimmy Driftwood's ballad "Tennessee Stud," he found the song hauntingly compelling. As he began to imagine the story behind the lyrics, he set out to research the song's history-a tale from "along about eighteen and twenty-five"" of the legendary exploits of the greatest horse that ever lived, the "Tennessee Stud," and his owner.
Traveling the same route the song chronicles, from Tennessee into Arkansas, through Texas and into Mexico, Averill visited racetracks, Spanish missions, historical museums, a living history farm, and national parks, inventing characters of his own along the way. His novel captures the spirit of the ballad while telling the story of Robert Johnson, a man who holds love in his heart though adventure rules his time. Pursued by a bounty hunter, Indians, and his conscience, Johnson and his horse are tested, strengthened, and made resolute.

Cover Image For Thomas Fox Averill - <i>A Carol Dickens Christmas</i>

Thomas Fox Averill - A Carol Dickens Christmas
Item Description
"Joyfully riffing on a holiday classic, Tom Averill's A Carol Dickens Christmas is a moving and contemporary tale that, like the work of that other Dickens, focuses on what affects us deeply: judgment and compassion, grief and hope, cruelty and kindness. With a warm and realistic cast of characters, this is a story for people who believe in the magic of the season and--more to the point--in simply caring for each other."--Laura Moriarty

Thomas Fox Averill - Ordinary Genius
Item Description
Falling under the spell of these short stories by O. Henry Award-winning author Thomas Fox Averill, a reader might well wonder: What in the world is ordinary? If there really are "just plain folks" anywhere at all, they'd surely be in the solid Midwestern Kansas of Averill's fiction. And yet the "ordinary" people we meet in these stories lead us into one startling encounter after another with the mystery, the magic, and, yes, the transcendence that even the most mundane life secretly holds.

Thomas Fox Averill - Found Documents
Item Description
Winner of the 2019 Byron Caldwell Smith Book Award

Not just epistolary, this novel is archival, told entirely through journals, letters, photos, drawings, notes, and clippings left behind by Nell Doerr, who lived in Lawrence, Kansas, between 1854 and 1889. Although Nell seems so real you can reach out and touch her, she is a fictional character. The novel tells the story of her two stillborn babies, her move to Kansas, the loss of her husband in Quantrill's Raid, and her discovery, while hiding in her basement, of the fossils of ancient creatures in the foundation rock. In finding these specimens this unforgettable heroine finds herself, a woman unconventional and strong, a mother without children, a wife without a husband, a scientist without educational pedigree, and someone who nurtures her passion for nature and contributes to the scientific knowledge of her time.

M.A. Monnin - Death on the Grand Canal
Item Description
Having discovered a knack for investigation, Stefanie joins Thomas Burkhardt in Milan, Italy, on the Black Market trail of a fabulous sapphire and emerald encrusted pendant known as the Borgia Peacock, missing since it was stolen from the Milan World Expo of 1906. Undercover as a wealthy heiress, Stefanie has no doubt she'll convince the current owner, Contessa Giuliana Bergamo, to sell to her. But when she shows up at the Contessa's crumbling Venetian palazzo to clinch the deal, it isn't only the glittering gemstones that have Stefanie seeing blue. Others are there vying for the Peacock, including Europe's most notorious jewel fence. In the cut-throat competition, one of the would-be buyers is murdered.

Caught up in murder, with their cover identities and their lives on the line, Stefanie and Thomas dig for the truth and the Peacock while trying to avoid discovery themselves. Then she learns Thomas is keeping secrets of his own, secrets that threaten their happiness, and Stefanie wonders if this Borgia Peacock affair is one opportunity she shouldn't have embraced.
