Paperback. Zustand: Good. Fighter pilot Gary Forsythe is a man on fire. He's tough, steely-eyed, hunted by many and feared by all. He's British Secret Service--a striking predecessor to James Bond--with a chip on his shoulder and a .50 caliber machinegun in his flying killing machine. He is The Devil--With Wings. The Japanese have invaded Manchuria, and Forsythe has made it his mission to stop them. Japanese Military Intelligence has made it their mission to knock the Devil out of the skies. But a dogfight with the Imperial Japanese Air Force is child's play compared to the challenge that awaits him. Her name is Patricia Weston. Japanese spies have falsely accused the British pilot of murdering her brother--and now she wants vengeance. And for once in his life, Forsythe is disarmed--by his love for a woman who has vowed to kill him. As a young man, Hubbard visited Manchuria, where his closest friend headed up British intelligence in northern China. Hubbard gained a unique insight into the intelligence operations and spy-craft in the region as well as the hostile political climate between China and Japan--a knowledge that informs stories like The Devil--With Wings.

He returned home to New York City to help with the family business, which had afforded Brad, and his family with many luxuries in his life. He liked his Upper-East-Side living, but for many years, there has been a large void in his life. One that has forced him to become notorious as a bit of a playboy. It was amazing how one event, however devastating changed your life forever.

The yearly charity ball, the one time of the year he doesn't mind wearing the penguin suit, is upon him. The yearly report to the men of the board he has known since he was little, is also due.

They have been honest, and open with her, but there are some things they left out, especially one very important one. The moment she meets Brad for the 'first time', he seems far more familiar than he should.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Publisher: Third Lung Press . A palpable and invigorating book, mapping one woman's lifelong efforts to discover her own sexual identity through Christianity and friendship. Kirkus Review Sandra Worsham's humor, clear-eyed honesty stitch this amazing quilt of meaning and experience together in a wonderful way. Jill McCorkle, author of Life after Life and Going Away Shoes The struggle of the gay Christian's complicated effort to reconcile sexuality and faith is often overlooked by church leaders and more secular gays. But it is a complex, and deeply engaging journey. I was deeply moved by Sandra's book, engaged by her voice, her mind, her heart. I think many will find their very human story here in the hands of a wise and compelling woman. --George Hodgman, author of Bettyville Sandra Worsham is the Mary Karr of Milledgeville, Georgia. This time the 'Liars' Club' has extended its boundaries. The personal stakes break the reader's heart as the lies, judgements, and deprivations whirl between Sandra, her family, her friends, her community, and her church. Yet this page-turning memoir of her quest for wholeness isn't mired in despair. Despite the decades that she held her vile secret of homosexuality, she kept loving those who thwarted her coming of age. This page-turner oozes with Worsham's grace and grit. --Amy Lou Jenkins, author Every Natural Fact: Five Seasons of Open-Air Parenting A terrific book of straight talk about a woman discovering her lesbian identity and holding to her faithfulness in God, as she lives in a world that makes those identities difficult to combine. Worsham writes in a way that captures the reader from the beginning page. She inspires us with her unflinching look at the hard task of living the truth, and the courage she shows in the face of loss. --Elizabeth Cox, author of A Question of Mercy and Night Talk Sandra Worsham has written a candid and memorable narrative of her life in Flannery O'Connor's home town of Milledgeville, Georgia: coming out as a lesbian, converting to Catholicism, and finding a life partner.

Sarah Gordon, author of Flannery O'Connor: The Obedient Imagination, A Literary Guide to Flannery O'Connor's Georgia, and Distances In Going to Wings, Sandra Worsham combines a southern raconteur's charm and candor with a social anthropologist's objective awareness to tell the story of a woman's second coming-of-age as a lesbian in a deeply conservative southern town. The result is a memoir both engaging and socially significant. --Peter Selgin, author of Drowning Lessons, winner of the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction, and The Inventors, a memoir. Sandra Worsham loves women and she loves Catholicism. The result of loving both is a dramatic struggle well worth following. --Bruce Gentry, Professor of English, Georgia College & State University, Editor of the Flannery O'Connor Review, and author of Flannery O'Connor's Religion of the Grotesque.
