The Wild Magi of the Astral Rifts continue their assault on Jade-Realm's dimensional borders. Newly crowned Debra and her powerful companions help the Southern Edge-Guard hold fast, but with Dreadwing, Serpentus, and a vengeful abyssalisk lurking nearby, things could go horribly wrong in a big hurry!

Describes the life of glamour girl Peggy Hopkins Joyce, whose many marriages, expensive tastes, and wild lifestyle made her more famous in the 1920s and '30s than her stints as a Broadway and movie star.

As Princess Debra ascends to her mother's throne, she rewards Gina and Britanny for their help in fending off Dreadwing. Meanwhile, Dreadwing has arranged for a spy among the wild magi of the Astral Rifts to plot an assault on Jade. And we see what a few other family members and friends have been up to while all this is going on...

With the were-cat leader Xercie first co-opted and then captured, Dreadwing has freed the Orkrist tyrant Serpentus and left ethereal "bait" to lure all manner of beasts from other dimensions to destroy Xercie's home of Jag's Lair. Gina and Britanny fight the onslaught bravely, but Dreadwing's left evidence meant to break the fragile trust within Jade's ruling council, so the Diggers sisters will be left without backup!

In Search of Western Movie Sites is a compilation of 64 articles written for the bi-monthly newsletter Western Clippings by Carlo Gaberscek and Kenny Stier. They are profoundly convinced of the fundamental importance of landscapes and natural exteriors in westerns. These articles are listed regionally, starting with the Southwestern states (Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Nevada), progressing to California, the Northwest, Midwest, and Southern states, followed by Canada, and finishing with Mexico. They focus on the making of both A and B-westerns in a single state or a specific area of a state, and contain selected filmographies and detailed information on the locations. They envision a vast atlas of western cinema, a map of both real and imagined places constructed by Hollywood. This book, which includes over 200 stills and photos taken on location, is a guide to thousands of western film locations.

The stereotype of the "gold digger" has had a fascinating trajectory in twentieth-century America, from tales of greedy flapper-era chorus girls to tabloid coverage of Anna Nicole Smith and her octogenarian tycoon husband. The term entered American vernacular in the 1910s as women began to assert greater power over courtship, marriage, and finances, threatening men's control of legal and economic structures. Over the course of the century, the gold digger stereotype reappeared as women pressed for further control over love, sex, and money while laws failed to keep pace with such realignments. The gold digger can be seen in silent films, vaudeville jokes, hip hop lyrics, and reality television. Whether feared, admired, or desired, the figure of the gold digger appears almost everywhere gender, sexuality, class, and race collide. This fascinating interdisciplinary work reveals the assumptions and disputes around women's sexual agency in American life, shedding new light on the cultural and legal forces underpinning romantic, sexual, and marital relationships.
