Book Description
If the preacher's wife's petticoat showed, the ladies would make the talk last a week. But on July 5, 1906, things took a scandalous turn. That was the day E. Rucker Blakeslee, proprietor of the general store and barely three weeks a widower, eloped with Miss Love Simpson -- a woman half his age and, worse yet, a Yankee! On that day, fourteen-year-old Will Tweedy's adventures began and an unimpeachably pious, deliciously irreverent town came to life. Not since To Kill A Mockingbird has a novel so deftly captured the subtle crosscurrents of small-town Southern life. Olive Ann Burns classic bestseller brings to vivid life an era that will never exist again, exploring timeless issues of love, death, coming of age, and the ties that bind families and generations.

In a Town This Size.......2007-10-06
This book was on my daughter's summer reading list for ninth grade. It's the story of life in small Cold Sassy, Georgia in the early 20th century, told through the eyes of a young boy whose grandfather marries the milliner from his general store just days after his wife of many years dies. Burns wrote this book, based on the memories of her grandfather, when she was diagnosed with a life-threatening disease in middle age. She finished it and part of the followup Leaving Cold Sassy before she died.
Looking back, the story had a lot in common with one of my favorite musicals, Fiddler on the Roof (Special Edition), except that it's the older generation that tries to break with tradition. Grandson Will Tweedy, whose grandfather always addresses by both names, represents the future of Cold Sassy and other small towns--torn between the comfort and support of tradition and the promises of happiness and progress based on new ways of thought. Personally, I'm happy to live in a world where everyone's just a little more detached from their neighbor's business than were the people of Cold Sassy. On his duets album In Spite Of Ourselves, John Prine and Dolores Kane sang a duet about the situation, "In a Town This Size"--"In a town this size/There is no place to hide. . ." Ironically, the Internet is taking us back in time, but on a larger scale, where everyone can know everything about everyone, at least to the extent that someone is willing to share it on line.
But that's getting away from Ms. Burns' book, which shimmers with authenticity of time, place and language. You'll almost choke in the dust roiled up by grandpa's first trips in his new Buick. And, boy howdy, you'll try out some of the Southernisms out loud just to test whether people could really talk that way. (My daughter and I got a big kick out of this.)
With "Cold Sassy Tree", Ms. Burns accomplishes everything she set out to do--preserve the memory of a place and time in her past; honor the life of her grandfather; and entertain generations of readers. Five enthusiastic stars for all readers from 12 to 112.
Tells all about a Georgia family in 1906.......2007-09-18
Olive Ann Burns was 59 when she published her first and only book, Cold Sassy Tree, which became an instant classic in 1986. People across the country loved the book, and though Burns tried to write its sequel, she died six years later with only the first 14 chapters written. A real perfectionist, she wrote and rewrote and re-wrote, looking for the perfect words with an obsession for detail.
Cold Sassy Tree is the story of a family living in a small Georgia town at the turn of the century-1906. It's told from the viewpoint of 14-year-old Will Tweedy in the colorful Southern dialect which took Burns years to get just right. She based the story on her own parents and grandparents' stories.
Interesting as Will is, the real main character here is his Grandpa Blakeslee. Three week after his wife of 36 years dies, Grandpa announces to his family that he's going to marry the (much) younger Miss Love Simpson, who works in his shop.
When his horrified daughters protest, Grandpa remarks that while he loved Grandma for many, many years, he sees no reason to wait a year to remarry, because "she's as dead as she's ever gonna be, ain't she?" and stomps off.
Thus begins a years of an emotional rollercoaster ride for Will and his family, with all of Cold Sassy looking on in fascination and horror. The story is lively and funny and poignant by turns and has been called the most realistic portrait of a small town in the early 1900s ever written.
Mariner Books is re-issuing Cold Sassy Tree along with its unfinished sequel, Leaving Cold Sassy. I recommend that a whole new generation visit the South which Olive Ann Baker loved and wrote about so well.
Armchair Interview agrees.

This is an exceptionally well done audio CD. The story is great and the speaker does a really great job. Wonderful choice for anyone confined to bed. Really helps the time go by.
Cold Sassy Hot'n'Sassy.......2007-08-30
I first read Cold Sassy Tree as a book reviewer, and I was impressed by the attention to detail and the depth of the characters it holds. Will Tweedy tells the story, but his Grandpa Blakeslee is the real main mover here. The plot covers a year in a small Southern town at the turn of the century (the 1900's) when society was proscribed and its rules set in granite. You did not do certain things--like marry a women young enough to be your granddaughter, elope with her, and worse yet, have a child by her. There is a lot of realism to these characters--they're easily human, with all the flaws and strong points that entails. The author spent years writing and re-writing her novel, even while she was ill with cancer and heart failure, and in the end produced something that was an instant bestseller. This is the only complete novel she wrote; and I think she did an outstanding job.--C. L. Rossman
Book Description
Cold Sassy Tree, Olive Ann Burns unforgettable story of a Georgia town at the turn of the century, has captivated millions of readers with its tale of Grandpa Blakeslee, his young bride Miss Love, and the irrepressible fiteen-year-old Will Tweedy. Throughout her long battle with cancer, Olive Ann Burns worked passionately on a sequel to this magical book. Only during her final days did she realize she wouldn't complete it, dictating from her hospital bed her wishes that the finished chapters be published.
The result is Leaving Cold Sassy - a portait of the grown-up Will Tweedy; of the feisty young schoolteacher who captures his heart; of the town that has claimed a place in the American imagination; and, in a fascinating reminiscence by her editor, of Olive Ann Burns, a writer who didn't get a chance to finish her extraordinary tale.
Complete with Olive Ann Burn's notes for later scenes and chapters exactly as she wrote them, Leaving Cold Sassy is a final, loving goodbye to Cold Sassy, Georgia.

Great partner with Cold Sassy Tree.......2007-09-18
(LEAVING COLD SASSY is the unfinished sequel to Cold Sassy Tree with Reminiscence by Katrina Kenison)
After author Olive Ann Burns' first book, Cold Sassy Tree, became an instant hit when it was published in 1984, it received overwhelming accolades from readers and critics across the country. Everyone wanted a sequel, and Burns, who was struggling with cancer and later, congestive heart failure, wanted to write it. But she was the world's most particular writer: she had spent years writing and re-writing her first book, yet she hoped to have the sequel done by 1991. Bedridden for months at a time, finally losing her lifetime love, Andy Sparks, whom she'd met at The Atlanta Constitution and Journal, Burns fought against time to finish the sequel, called Time, Dirt, and Money.
But she had barely finished the first 14 chapters when she died quite suddenly at her and her husband's mountain retreat--The Write House, in Commerce, Georgia. So Mariner Books has put together both books, Cold Sassy Tree and its unfinished sequel in two soft cover editions to be re-issued September 2007. There readers can at least get a glimpse into the lives of Will Tweedy and his bride, Sanna, ten years after the first book ended.
This is a more grownup Will talking, his dialect rectified by schooling, but his appetites for resistant women just as powerful as in his childhood. His stubbornness and determination to win Sanna remind us of his Grandpa Blakeslee's stubbornness and determination to marry whomever he wanted, too. This book has no similar strong character like Grandpa to carry it, but Burn was planning to use Will's Aunt Loma to take his place. How it would have turned out, we'll never know.
But even more interesting than the fiction, I found Olive Ann's biography written by her friend, Katrina Kenison, to be a wonderful insight into the author's character, with all her quirks, optimism and determination.
Armchair Interviews says: read both books for a delightful journey into one writer's character and her favorite people.
Should have been left alone.......2007-01-17
A very disappointing "sequel" to the original Cold Sassy Tree. The finished section was ok, but reading the author's notes as to possibilities that should, could or would happen next were very unfulfilling. The marriage difficulties based on Sanna's personality and Will's unrelenting love for his first girlfriend didn't seem to spring from any of what the author wrote in the first half. "Leave" this one alone.
Leaving Cold Sassy.......2007-01-10
Very obvious not written with the content the Author had orginally intended but it does give closer to the Cold Sassy.
Don't buy this!.......2006-01-29
This book is unfinished. The author died before she could complete it. It has none of the humor or warmth of the original book. I believe it was published by the heirs as a way to squeeze some money from their mother's estate. Shame on them!
Excellent.......2005-07-28
I read this book for the first time 10 years ago and am reading it again...This book should be a classic.
Book Description
Steve Cline has managed the hunter/jumper show barns at Foxdale Farm for the better part of three years. But he has a deal with himself: When he no longer feels challenged, when the routine becomes stagnant, he will look for another job...and he passed that point months ago. So when Corey Claremont, one of Foxdale's boarders, asks Steve for help because her brother has gone missing, Steve embraces the puzzle with enthusiasm.
Two weeks earlier, for no apparent reason, Bruce Claremont quit his job working the night shift on a thoroughbred breeding farm in Warrenton, Virginia, and vanished. To find out what happened, Steve slips unobtrusively into Bruce's world.
The more Steve learns, the more he suspects that Corey may never see her brother again. Secrets, jealousies, and obsessions are the norm in this pastoral setting, and the present seems to be repeating its fiery past.
Customer Reviews:
AWESOME!!!!.......2006-03-09
This was one of the best mystery books I have read! Kit Ehrman kept me flipping the pages of this outstanding book!!! Steve Cline has gotten himself into solving another mystery, basically he is putting his life @ risk!!! He better be careful or he could be caught in the line of fire!!!!
Great Galloping Fun!.......2005-10-13
Great book- realistic in the horse features, as well as in the human interactions, Steve Cline is a likeable character- because he is so human! The author obvioulsy has a strong backround in horses, as the details are accurate. In addition, she can write a great story! Its a fun, captivating read! Enjoy!
Kit Ehrman Does it Again!.......2005-08-02
In Cold Burn, Kit Ehrman's third equestrian novel, Steve Cline is in trouble again. If you've read Ehrman's previous novels,At Risk and Dead Man's Touch, you know that Steve Cline is a risk-taker, he's dogged in his determination to find the truth, and he keeps his word, even in the most horrific circumstances. This time he promises to find out what happened to a friend's brother who disappeared from his job as a stable hand at Stone Manor Farm in Virginia, a clinic and breeding farm operated by beautiful and aristocratic Dr. Deirdre Nash. To get information, Steve takes over the missing man's underpaid, grueling, dirty, and often mind-numbing job. His struggle to find the truth is all uphill. He has to put up with another hand's jealousy because he gains Dr. Nash's approval by his newly-acquired skill in delivering foals. He has to resist his seductive boss, Maddie. There are mysterious nocturnal horse deliveries. He keeps getting hurt. And to make the whole thing worse, an arsonist is at work. Cold Burn starts with a blazing bank barn uncomfortably near Stone Manor and races through a series of often-violent events until the dramatic climax. Ehrman uses realistic imagery and detail to describe the world of a breeding farm. The description is so masterful that it's almost possible to smell the muck that has to be so laboriously raked up all the time. We don't forget the visual picture of a mare bolting out of the stable with the afterbirth dangling, or the sounds that a mare makes in labor. The scrupulous attention to detail when Ehrman describes the barns, equipment, and procedure,gives the reader a lesson in Breeding Farm 101. That realism extends to the behavior and motivations of the characters. A perfect balance.In Cold Burn, Ehrman has written a compelling book about a young man's honorable quest to find a missing person. In his investigation, Steve learns more about himself and about human nature in general.
For fans of Dick Frances .......2005-02-15
When Steve Cline's friend Corey Claremont asks him to look into the disappearance of her brother Bruce he jumps at the chance. He's bored in his present position and looks forward to working at Stone Manor Farm, where they breed thoroughbreds. By a lucky coincidence, Steve is hired in Bruce's former position and he is staying at Bruce's apartment. Steve discretely questions the workers at Stone Manor Farm but all he learns is that Victor Nash, the husband of the owner Dr. Deidre Nash, told everyone that Bruce quit.
A neighbor tells Steve that someone drove Bruce's car to his parking space shortly after he disappeared. It really looks like Bruce is in hiding or dead. When a dealer wants to buy a significant amount of cocaine from Bruce, he is willing to deal with Steve instead. Steve wonders if Bruce's disappearance is drug related. The longer he works for Dr. Nash, the more he believes illegal activities are being carried out at Stone Manor Farm. As Steve looks for evidence, he almost gets himself killed.
Readers will enjoy reading COLD BURN, a novel that showcases a protagonist who wants to right the wrongs of the world. There is plenty of action as well as a surplus of suspects who could have had something to with Bruce's disappearance. Fans of Dick Frances will think Kit Ehrman is his successor because it is obvious he knows and loves horses.

Book Description
Remote. Peaceful. Picturesque. That's how the Mumford Mountain Hotel bills itself in its brochure, and it lives up to its billing -- most of the time. But this year, the hotel is hosting a prestigious conference for the study of forensic science, and the organizers have extended CSI head Gil Grissom an invitation he can't refuse. Joined by fellow investigator Sara Sidle, Grissom leaves the department in the capable hands of Catherine Willows and heads east. But he and Sara soon find themselves in all too familiar territory -- and back in Las Vegas, Catherine, Warrick Brown, and Nick Stokes have uncovered trouble of their own.
Customer Reviews:
easy forensic investigation reading..........2007-02-08
*CSI: Cold Burn* was an easy reading that didn't dwell too much on forensic jargon and processes. There were processes but they were simplified so that readers can still feel connected to the stories.
Gil and Sara have flown to New York for a forensic conference. However, just as soon as they landed, a blizzard is just now starting. They make it to the hotel. Restless, Sara and Gil take a short walk around the hotel. However, their stroll is interrupted when they discovered a murdered and burnt body.
With the conference cancelled, due to the non-stop blizzard, Sara and Gil preserve evidence surrounding the burnt body with haste. They also have to improvise to make their own homemade forensic lab.
Meanwhile, back in Las Vegas, a woman has been found, dead, at a park near Lake Mead. Catherine and the gang have found the crime scene to be odd. Apparently, the woman had been frozen and then wetted down before being dumped. The forensic team discovered that this particular woman had been missing for a year.
Both were good stories. I think I liked the one with Gil and Sara. With the help of a Canadian forensic specialist, it felt like they were playing Clue. You know, so-and-so killed and burned this guy with this weapon in this room. Of course, everyone had a different theory.
Like I said, *CSI:Cold Burn* was an easy and enjoyable read.
Maybe The Movie Will Be Better.......2006-10-03
I should start out by admitting that I've never seen an episode of CSI. I'm no a television person these days. On the other hand, I'm a forensics addict dating back to the grand old Glory days of Quincy. So I grabbed a couple of the Max Allan Collins series in the hope of even more grand autopsy scenes and sifting of the fine details. Cold Burn is the first of these I've read, and I find it something of a middling effort.
The story is actually two stories. Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle attend a forensic science convention in the wilds of upstate New York. On arrival they are greeted with a corpse and a record snowstorm and must battle the elements and the inconvenience of a nearly empty 5 star hotel to discover the sordid tale behind the killing.
And back at home in Las Vegas, Catherine Willows and the rest of the team are up to their ankles in defrosted bodies. A year after a young woman disappears, leaving behind a devastated husband. Her body turns up in a nature preserve. Remarkably well preserved, as she has apparently been kept frozen for all that time. Suspicion shifts from the husband, to friends, and wandering whackos, and another corpse makes an appearance. Somewhere out there a chilling mind is playing fatal games.
I didn't care much for the winter hotel story. Most of the plot was about guarding a frozen crime scene. Once the investigation actually starts it runs on auto-pilot to a very predictable conclusion. The Las Vegas story was better, but was marred by the distraction of the first story. The end result is a novel with a very flat affect.
Television has a great advantage over a novel. Good acting and direction can overcome a second rate plot. So a novelist has the disadvantage of having to bring life where none has been before. Cold Burn simply never clicks on its own. Perhaps those who have seen the TV series will find some spark that I don't, but I can only rate this story as 'OK,' but without big wows.
Poorly written.......2005-10-13
I must say, I have not been at all impressed with the CSI novels. I think they are poorly written and predictable. I have not enjoyed one thus far. CSI has a good show and a GREAT computer game series, but not a good set of novels in any way. Parts of it sound like a kid wrote it. The forensics used are all pretty standard... there aren't any really creative solutions to figuring anything out.
If just watching the CSI series isn't enough CSI for you, I HIGHLY recommend the computer games. Not the books though.
Cold Burn was a page turner!.......2005-09-13
This was the first of this series I've read and I was very impressed with how closely Collins stayed to the TV characters and how wonderfully descriptive he was. It was almost like sitting through a show, only to have the gift of not missing a single syllable due to the kids becoming loud or the phone ringing. It was so well written, it was like I was a part of the team. I highly recommend this book to all mystery lovers, but esp. to CSI fans!
Great- I Couldn't Put It Down!.......2005-09-13
I loved Cold Burn! It stayed with the characters and storylines. It was a great book and was clear and easy to understand. I highly recommend it.
Book Description

For children and young adults, burns are the leading cause of death in the home. Yet burn fatalities represent only a small fraction of the more than 1.25 million burn injuries reported in the United States each year. For many burn victims, recovery involves a long and painful period of reconstruction.
Burns Sourcebook offers the layperson information about various types of burns and scalds, including burn statistics and types and degrees of burns. It describes short-term and long-term treatment options, including tissue reconstruction and plastic surgery. The book also includes safety and prevention suggestions. Emergency procedures and first aid recommendations are provided to help readers respond quickly and effectively to burn accidents.

Binding: Hardcover
ASIN: 0978549511 |
Book Description
THE COLD COASTS - a Cold War adventure in the high Arctic, featuring pack ice, seals and polar bears, and frigid islands just a few hundred miles from the North Pole.
In 1955, American and Norwegian intelligence officers and scientists sail aboard a sealing vessel to spy on the Russians and locate sites for illegal military airstrips on the Spitsbergen islands.
It could have become an international incident - until a huge chunk of ice intervened.
The Cold Coasts is also the story of a young family man: a geologist who seemed to disappear from the face of the earth while on this secret mission. Fresh from witnessing atomic testing in the American West, he found himself bound for Russian waters, living as a Norwegian seal hunter.
After 40 years of secrecy, the story finally began to break in Norway. Now it is told in English for the first time.
Richly illustrated with photographs and maps.
Book Description
Wolverine. Sabretooth. Silver Fox. Wraith. Maverick. Together, they were Team X, the best covert-ops team NATO had to offer. But a mission to retrieve a disk from a pair of Soviet agents proved to be more trouble than they bargained for. A Soviet agent codenamed the Black Widow, a mutant Interpol agent named Sean Cassidy, and shape-changing freelance spy Mystique were all after the disk as well. Years later, Wolverine is a valued member of the uncanny X-Men. The Black Widow is now a respected American super hero. Cassidy is mentor to the next generation of young mutants. Mystique and Sabretooth are reluctant members of
X-Factor, the government strike force. Wraith is still a covert-ops agent. Silver Fox is dead, and Maverick is dying of the Legacy Virus. Each of them is kidnapped, one by one--starting with Sabretooth, by far the deadliest member of the former Team X. Wolverine must uncover the terrible secret from that old mission--a secret that has remained hidden for years, and could spell death for all of them!

Adds depth to one of Marvel's greatest characters!.......2005-09-20
Wolverine has always been and will likely be one of Marvel's most popular characters. But, Golden adds a new depth to the background and persona of the lovable hairy mutant. A great deal of the book is flashback to Wolverine's espionage days and those flashbacks lend an insight that has been lacking in the character's development.
Pretty slow.......2003-02-11
After reading Golden's great 'Predator's Smile' Daredevil novel, I was excited to see what he would do with Wolverine. While not
a bad book, the pacing is slow and the action is kind of far
between for a Wolverine tale. All the characters seemed a little
too two dimensional unlike 'Predator' which brought out the best
in all the cast. While I hate to do this, as I am a Golden fan,
you should pass on this one and read 'Predator'. (If you like
DD anyway)
This was so ZZZZZZZZZ! BORING!.......2002-06-15
I got half way threw the book and I was falling asleep. There is no action or adventure in this book and I suggest not buying it. It is a waist of time and money. Go by the old saying and "DON'T JUDGE THE BOOK BY IT'S COVER!"
Great Story, Would Love to see it in a comic form though!!.......2001-11-02
This is a great story of Wolverine and the rest of the project X team. It was very well written, but I'm a comic lover and I love to see the beautiful artwork that most illustrators come out with. I think this story would be great if it were in a comic form, what can I say I love pictures!!
wolverine slashes his way into novels.......2001-07-12
After reading Codename Wolverine, Ithought this made great movie material.The idea of Wolverine and Mystique teaming up to save Sabretooth makes forsome high stakes action. But there's more to this story than saving Sabre's skin. Once they find out the strange circumstances behind Victor's kid-napping, things start to get really wild. The "now" segments have Loganand Mystique trying to uncover the truth behind Victor's kidnapping, along with finding out that Black Widow, Maverick, and Banshee have also been taken .They find a lot of trouble in the process. The "then" segments take you back to Logan's days with Team X.The action is definitely fast paced,and the alternation from now to then and back will keep you guessing and wandering what's going on. The ending revelation and action bring things to a cooling end, letting you relax to know that Wolverine has won again,and yes, he's pulled Sabretooth's fat outta the fire. This really does sound like a good movie. A great read, too.
