Experience Tucson: Culture, Food & Desert Life is an immersive guide to one of Arizona’s most distinctive cities — where ancient history, living culture, and desert landscapes shape everyday life. Unlike fast-paced travel guides focused on checklists, this book invites you to slow down and experience Tucson with context and intention. From its deep Indigenous roots and Spanish colonial past to its globally recognized food culture and relationship with the Sonoran Desert, Tucson reveals itself through layers rather than landmarks alone.

Kansas is not the quiet heartland you learned about in school. It is the crossroads where every national argument, natural disaster, and ambitious dream once stopped for a drink. In Sunflowers, Storms, and Stubborn Souls, Jordan Blake Carter tells the history of Kansas the way it deserves to be told. Bold. Funny. Honest. And completely unfiltered. This book takes you from the ancient tallgrass prairie to the chaos of the territorial era, when Kansas held a full rehearsal for the Civil War.

Arthur has lived in careful stillness since his wife died. Each day follows the same quiet rituals. Each night ends with the same unopened door—the art studio she left behind, preserved exactly as it was when she was alive. When a neighbor’s gentle presence and a series of small, human interruptions begin to break through Arthur’s isolation, he is forced to confront what he has been protecting: not his wife’s memory, but his own fear of living without her. Repaint the Walls is a reflective literary novella about grief, creativity, and the courage it takes to begin again.
