Title: PARAPLEGIC
On a cold December day, what began as an ordinary trip to the barn became a catastrophic accident that changed Avis Townsend’s life forever. In Parapelegic, she recounts the terrifying moment of injury, the weeks lost in a coma, the confusion and hallucinations of intensive care, the grueling process of rehabilitation, and the emotional battle of adjusting to an entirely new way of living.
But this memoir is about far more than pain or medical recovery. It is also about family devotion, human dignity, stubborn hope, and the search for purpose after devastating loss. Told with honesty, personality, and surprising moments of humor, Parapelegic offers readers an unfiltered look at what it means to survive, adapt, and keep believing that life still has meaning. It is a story of endurance, but even more, it is a story of courage.

Title: Medina (NY)
Medina traces the history of a community that came to life with the building of the Erie Canal. Located at a bend in the canal, halfway between Buffalo and Rochester, Medina became a regular stop for barge traffic. The famous Medina culvert―the only tunnel road that goes under the canal―is here, as are the falls and Medina sandstone, quarried and used not only in local buildings but also across the state and even at Buckingham Palace.

Title: Newfane and Olcott
Newfane and Olcott are adjoining communities in western New York where residents relish the past and look toward a prosperous future. Some say they can hear the music of the big bands playing along the shoreline of Lake Ontario from the foundation of the long-demolished Olcott Beach Hotel. Others swear they can see the ghost of Malinda standing by the upstairs window of the beautiful Van Horn Mansion, guarding the grounds where her body was lost for one hundred fifty years.
