New YA science fiction novel available soon

Lost Republic, part of Enslow's Scarlet Voyage imprint and written by Paul B. Thompson, is available for pre-order and will be arriving in Enslow's warehouse soon.

In 2055, the future has arrived and the past is departing as the last steamship in the world prepares to cross the Atlantic on its final voyage. Alongside, a great glittering solar-powered vessel sails, too—a beautiful ship filled with beautiful people. On board the steamer are eight teens—some dreamers, some desperate—for whom the last voyage of the S.S. Sir Guy Carleton is only a step on a longer journey.

Soon the ship is far out to sea, and every layer of modern technology fails. Each teen must rely on their own special skills to survive—but where? What is the strange island in the Atlantic, where no island exists? Who are the men who speak an ancient tongue who capture the survivors of the stricken ship? With every breath a new mystery appears, and the desperate dreamers of the Carleton must find a way to live, or escape, the Lost Republic.

This science fiction/fantasy novel for YA readers will be available from your preferred vendor, enslow.com, bookstores, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.

Enslow author Lisa Wroble interviewed on C-SPAN

C-SPAN has started a new series called Cities Tour, which is part of the Local Content Vehicles Program, designed to give C-SPAN broader appeal by featuring stories outside of Washington, D.C. Covering unique literary culture in other parts of the country, this series focuses on a connection to government, history, or books. Lisa Wroble's book, The Right to Counsel, targets all three.

Lisa was interviewed by Christy Hinton from C-SPAN in March and the interview can be viewed here. It is also archived on a dedicated page for Cities Tour–Fort Meyers.

The Right to Counsel is the story of Clarence Earl Gideon, an unemployed drifter who was arrested in Florida and charged with burglarizing a pool hall. Because he could not afford an attorney, Gideon asked for one, and was turned down. He was found guilty of the crime and sentenced to five years in prison. Believing the U.S. Constitution was on his side, Gideon took his case all the way to the Supreme Court. The author explores the case, its impact on the U.S. legal system, and the movie made about it, Gideon's Trumpet, which starred Henry Fonda.

This title is part of Enslow's Famous Court Cases That Became Movies series.

Good-by

Good-by, proud world, I’m going home,

Thou’rt not my friend, and I’m not thine;

Long through thy weary crowds I roam;

A river-ark on the ocean brine,

Long I’ve been tossed like the driven foam,

But now, proud world, I’m going home.

Good-by to Flattery’s fawning face,

To Grandeur, with his wise grimace,

To upstart Wealth’s averted eye,

To supple Office low and high,

To crowded halls, to court, and street,

To frozen hearts, and hasting feet,

To those who go, and those who come,

Good-by, proud world, I’m going home.

I’m going to my own hearth-stone

Bosomed in yon green hills, alone,

A secret nook in a pleasant land,

Whose groves the frolic fairies planned;

Where arches green the livelong day

Echo the blackbird’s roundelay,

And vulgar feet have never trod

A spot that is sacred to thought and God.

Oh, when I am safe in my sylvan home,

I tread on the pride of Greece and Rome;

And when I am stretched beneath the pines

Where the evening star so holy shines,

I laugh at the lore and the pride of man,

At the sophist schools, and the learned clan;

For what are they all in their high conceit,

When man in the bush with God may meet.

Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May;

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;

Nor shall Death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
