First in a new series featuring L.A. private investigator Artie
Weatherby. A mysterious woman walks into Artie's office with an
offer too good to refuse: solve a ten-year-old murder case in
exchange for $5,000. But as he delves into the evidence, Artie soon
finds himself--and his client--enmeshed in the rituals of a
sinister New Age cult.
The relationship between popular music and fashion has been
culturally significant since the 1950s, and this book explores the
ways in which music and musicians play a key role in the shaping of
identity, taste and consumption. Using a range of historical and
contemporary examples, this book uncovers the way in which fashion
and music have worked to shape contemporary attitudes to bodies and
identities.
Focusing on performers as much as fans, on the mainstream as much
as the underground, "Fashion and Music" provides a lens through
which to examine themes of gender, sexuality, ageing and youth,
ethnicity, body image, consumer culture, fandom and postmodernity.

Meanwell is a twenty-four poem sequence in which a female servant
searches for identity and meaning in the shadow of her mistress,
poet Anne Bradstreet. Although Meanwell herself is a fiction,
someone like her could easily have existed among Bradstreet's known
but unnamed domestic servants. Through Meanwell's eyes, Bradstreet
emerges as a human figure during The Great Migration of the 1600s,
a period in which the Massachusetts Bay Colony was fraught with
physical and political dangers. Through Meanwell, the feelings of
women, silenced during the midwife Anne Hutchinson's fiery trial
before the Puritan ministers, are finally acknowledged. In effect,
the poems are about the making of an American rebel. Through her
conflicted conscience, we witness Meanwell's transformation from a
powerless English waif to a mythic American who ultimately chooses
wilderness over the civilization she has experienced.
