In a trance-like state, Albert walks-from Bordeaux to Poitiers, from Chaumont to Macon, and farther afield to Turkey, Austria, Russia-all over Europe. When he walks, he is called a vagrant, a mad man. He is chased out of towns and villages, ridiculed and imprisoned. When the reverie of his walking ends, he's left wondering where he is, with no memory of how he got there. His past exists only in fleeting images. Loosely based on the case history of Albert Dadas, a psychiatric patient in the hospital of St. André in Bordeaux in the nineteenth century, The Man Who Walked Away imagines Albert's wanderings and the anguish that caused him to seek treatment with a doctor who would create a diagnosis for him, a narrative for his pain. In a time when mental health diagnosis is still as much art as science, Maud Casey takes us back to its tentative beginnings and offers us an intimate relationship between one doctor and his patient as, together, they attempt to reassemble a lost life. Through Albert she gives us a portrait of a man untethered from place and time who, in spite of himself, kept setting out, again and again, in search of wonder and astonishment.

The Dream Quest is set in a post-apocalyptic world that had been ravaged by weapons of mass destruction, where a new generation of humanity managed to survive and form a new civilization. Many perils existed in the aftermath of the old war. Mutant tribes of cannibals and hordes of the living dead were the most common, but there were other creatures and unknown dangers. Due to the radiation and chemical afterburn a form of fusion magic came to the land, as well as concerned and vengeful visitors from the unknown, creatures that some would call gods. Kastos puts together a rag-tag crew of anyone willing to accompany him on this fantastic voyage across unknown waters, fraught with wonders and horrors, to the icy wastelands in the far south. Where Kastos hopes to discover if the myth of immortal life was real. On board the Kella, an old battered Navy Frigate, the crew assembled and embarked upon this quest. However, fate intervenes and throws Kastos a wild card when a beautiful woman is rescued at sea after a devastating storm. She warns him about the old gods who guard the gates. Terrible, malevolent beings who will bar his way… unless he chooses her to help him. Kastos has to make a choice to either ignore or trust her, a woman he has never met, yet who seems oddly compelling, and familiar.

In 1877, Standing Bear and his Indian people, the Ponca, were forcibly removed from their land in northern Nebraska. In defiance, Standing Bear sued in U.S. District Court for the right to return home. In a landmark case, the judge, for the first time in U.S. history, recognized Native American rights-acknowledging that "Standing Bear is a person"-and ruled in favor of Standing Bear. Standing Bear Is a Person is the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of that landmark 1879 court case, and the subsequent reverberations of the judge's ruling across nineteenth-century America. It is also a story filled with memorable characters typical of the Old West-the crusty and wise Indian chief, Standing Bear, the Army Indian-fighting general who became a strong Indian supporter, the crusading newspaper editor who championed Standing Bear's cause, and the "most beautiful Indian maiden of her time," Bright Eyes, who became Standing Bear's national spokesperson. At a time when America was obsessed with winning the West, no matter what, this is an intensely human story and a small victory for compassion. It is also the chronicle of an American tragedy: Standing Bear won his case, but the court's decision that should have changed everything, in the end, changed very little for America's Indians.
