My Clockwork Muse (The Poe Files Mysteries) by D.R. Erickson
Genre(s): Fantasy, Historical Fantasy
N ew York City, 1847: A madman is on the loose. Someone is committing murders in the manner of Edgar Allan Poe’s tales of terror. The police are stymied. When a corpse is found interred in a masonry wall in a subterranean chamber, they call on Poe himself to help solve the crime.
Edgar Allan Poe’s fictional detective, C. Auguste Dupin, has made the author famous as the master of deductive reasoning. But when “the father of the detective story” applies his powers of discovery to the “Poe Murders”, he finds that the clues lead in only one direction: to Poe himself.
Poe soon becomes the prime suspect, and he begins to doubt his own sanity as the evidence piles up against him. What of his somnambulistic trances that often find him at the graveside of his late wife, Virginia? Or the bizarre raven that visits him in his Fordham cottage? The strange mark on his neck? The odd behavior of his one-eyed cat, Pluto? And what of his doctor, Coppelius — he of the bulging pale blue eye — and his beautiful, other-worldly daughter, Olimpia? Nothing is as it seems.
As the police tighten their noose around Poe’s neck, he races against time to solve the crimes and clear his name. But he soon finds himself confronting horrors that not even his macabre fiction could have envisioned — and a conspiracy that threatens the very fabric of reality itself.
Prepare yourself for a wild ride. This is not your father’s Edgar Allan Poe. This Poe’s packin’ heat…

Secrets Among the Shadows by Sally Berneathy
Genre(s): Romance, Romantic Suspense
R omantic suspense with paranormal elements
Eliot Kane fears he’s a modern day Jekyll and Hyde.
Eliot dreams in graphic detail about choking a woman. The next day, he learns that woman is the victim of a brutal murder. From his dream Eliot knows details about that murder that haven’t been released to the public, details only the killer can know. He seeks the help of psychiatrist Leanne Warner to learn if he’s a murderer, if he has a personality split and a monster named Edward lives inside his brain. Eliot doesn’t dare love Leanne because Edward wants to kill her.
Leanne looks out her bedroom window in the middle of the night and sees Eliot Kane leaning against a tree, watching her. He straightens when he sees her, stands erect and returns her gaze. In the pale glow from the corner street lamp, his eyes seem to blaze. She can almost feel the hatred coming from him. Evil surrounds him like an aura. It’s there in his stance, in the tilt of his head, in the very air around him, and it’s directed toward her.
But that’s crazy. Eliot doesn’t hate her. Is she looking at Edward?

Showcase Book – No One Knows You’re Here

No One Knows You’re Here by Rachel Howzell
F ans of James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club will love Rachel Howzell’s newest title.
Three weeks out of cancer surgery, crime reporter Syeeda McKay is in the pursuit of Los Angeles’s most active serial killer. Over the last twenty years, the Phantom Slayer has hunted African-American prostitutes working in one of the worst parts of South Los Angeles, killing eight victims in the alleys off Western Avenue, and then disappearing into the shadows. But Syeeda doesn’t know that the killer has turned his sights on her.
Detective Adam Sherwood, a hotshot investigator with the Robbery-Homicide Division of the LAPD, has been handed the Phantom Slayer cases, and together, he and Syeeda must figure out who is doing the killing . . . before Syeeda becomes his next victim.
Rachel Howzell was born and raised in South Los Angeles. An avid reader and lover of books, she received her B.A. in English and American Literature from the University of California at Santa Cruz.
In 2002, Rachel’s first novel, A Quiet Storm, was published by Scriber to great notice, including reviews from O Magazine and Publishers Weekly, with a starred review from Library Journal. A Quiet Storm was also a featured selection for Borders’ Original Voices program, as well as an alternate selection for Black Expressions book club. She published her second novel, The View from Here, in November 2010.
The author received rave reviews for her debut title, A Quiet Storm:
“Insightful and emphatic, first novelist’s Hall’s portrayal of bipolar disorder and its long-term effects on an African American family grabs readers from the start.” Starred review from Library Journal
“The author portrays mental illness (including the denial of it) with realism and sensitivity, but what really sets this novel apart is Stacey’s lively narration, which crackles with dark humor, wisdom and self-deprecation.” Publishers Weekly
“Sibling rivalry and devotion and the pressures that can tear apart a family—and a fledgling marriage—are the subjects of this urgent first novel by a promising African-American writer.” Oprah Magazine
Reviews
[Rachel] Howzell is the Sue Grafton of her generation, with a bit more social conscience and street cred. Like Grafton’s Kinsey Milhone, Syeeda is determined to be her own woman, solving crimes and facing down danger, and protecting her own body — and heart — as ferociously as she hunts down bad guys. — Nina Sankovitch, Read All Day and the Huffington Post
No One Knows You’re Here is obviously an adult book, but Howzell has written it with so much taste that none of the scenes, be them sex, autopsy or murder scenes, are overdone for the sake of giving too much detail. The characters were interesting, complicated and diverse. And the theme is definitely controversial. — PaulaSHx: Book Reviews

Lady Sophia’s Rescue (Historical Regency Romance) by Cheryl Bolen
Genre(s): Fiction, Historical Romance
N ovella – Regency Romance
Sensuality Level: Sweet
Approximate word count: 20,000
* * *
As Lady Sophia passes through the gates of her new bridegroom’s country estate and he begins to whisper in her ear the delights that await her in his bed, Lady Sophia realizes she has made a most dreadful mistake. There’s only one thing to do. She must bolt.
The bride-on-the-run is rescued by the exceedingly handsome William Birmingham who thinks she’s a woman named Isadore, and though he’s the richest man in England, she mistakes him for a common (but well-to-do) criminal. Since she’d rather be dead than wed to her wretched bridegroom, Sophia pretends to be Isadore and take her chances with the provocative Mr. Birmingham. But how could she have known that her ruse would bring the gallant Mr. Birmingham into such peril from the wicked man she married? And how could she have known her enigmatic rescuer would ignite passions she never knew she possessed?
* * *
EXCERPT:
“Just what are you suggesting, sir?”
“You — and your sister — will stay at my home until I’m assured that you’re out of danger.”
She shook her head. “I’m . . . an unmarried woman.”
The very suggestion of impropriety stirred his lust for her. She was an unmarried woman, a very beautiful unmarried woman, and he was an unmarried man. He had never been more aware of a woman. A sizzling heat flared between them as he drank in her sensuous loveliness, as his heated gaze poured over her exquisite face, down the creamy flesh of her neck and the tops of her breasts swelling against the blue gown.
Bringing a wellborn lady to his house was not a good idea. How would he be able to stay away from her bed?
He drew a deep breath. “I give you my word to behave as a gentleman. And my servants are very discreet. Your reputation will not suffer.”
Her eyes sparkled with mirth. “How can I know you’re a gentleman? I know of no gentlemen whose valets are skilled swordsmen.” Her gaze darted to Thompson, whose face was inscrutable.
William shrugged. “The manner in which I conduct my business and the manner in which I live in polite society are two completely different things.”
“I may regret it, Mr. Birmingham,” she said, “but I’m willing to put myself in your hands. Until this business is completed.”

AEFLE AND GISELA by Libby Malin
Genre(s): Humor, Romance, Contemporary Romance
S TOPPING A WEDDING: WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
Medieval History Professor Thomas Charlemagne thinks he’s finally slaying the dragon of his “Timid Tommy” reputation when he responds to an outlandish dare at a bachelor party and stops a wedding the very next morning.
The only problem? He wanders into the wrong church.
That doesn’t matter to bride DeeDee McGowan, however, who was having second, third, and fourth thoughts about saying “I do” anyway. She grabs the chance to leave her groom at the altar, dragging Tom with her.
DeeDee and Tom share a history, a fling more than ten years ago, before he went off to graduate school and started ascending the career ladder of academe and she took over her father’s car dealership in sleepy Oyster Point, Maryland, building it into a coveted business treasure. Their reconnection sets sparks flying between them — from the original passion that bonded them and the class differences that parted them.
Meanwhile, what started as a prank leads to serious legal issues for both Tom and DeeDee as the groom sues them, DeeDee countersues, and Tom is caught in the middle. Concerned that this distraction will affect his quest for tenure, Tom encounters an unsympathetic department chair eager to replace him with a renaissance expert from the UK and a women’s studies professor committed to challenging the “validity” of Thomas’s signature research into an obscure poetry-writing medieval monk, Aefle, and his lady-love, Gisela.
A comic romp blended with sharp satire, AEFLE AND GISELA delivers laughs and love as Thomas learns, along with his “little monk,” that life outside the “scriptorium” requires him to find real courage at last.

MODERN WOMEN (20th Century Series, Book #4) by Ruth Harris
Genre(s): Comedy
N EW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
1,000,000 copies sold
Originally published in hard cover & mmpb by St. Martin’s Press
“RUTH HARRIS HAS WRITTEN A SUPERB ‘RAGS TO RICHES’ STORY….Harris knows how to create characters that are alive and familiar. These three women, Lincky, Jane and Elly, are like old friends, women we’ve all known. Their experiences, hopes and fears are universal, and yet like most modern women they too wonder if they will find the right man and or how to get rid of the wrong one. Each in their own way finds success and a successful relationship. You’ll love MODERN WOMEN.”–West Coast Review of Books
“ENTERTAINING. RUTH HARRIS’ BREEZY PROSE STYLE, PEPPERY DIALOGUE AND IRREVERENT OBSERVATIONS ON THE NATURES OF MEN AND WOMEN MAKE MODERN WOMEN FUN TO READ.”–Dallas News
“AUTHOR RUTH HARRIS’ RAPIER WIT SPICES UP A COMING-OF-AGE-IN-THE-SEXIST-’60s STORY….FUNNY, SAD, VIVID, AND MORE THAN RAUNCHY ENOUGH TO SATISFY THE MOST RIBALD APPETITES. HARRIS SEEKS TO ENLIVEN AND ENTERTAIN, AND SHE DOES IT IN SPADES.
“The latest offering from author Ruth Harris (HUSBANDS AND LOVERS, LOVE AND MONEY) recounts the trials of the feminist trenches as each recovers from the earth-shattering assassination of President Kennedy and regroups to wage her individual battle against gender injustice.
“There’s brash, bawdy Jane Gresch, who happens to be on the press bus in the presidential motorcade when the fatal shots are fired in Dallas’ Dealy Plaza. When her date, journalist Owen Casals, steals Jane’s ideas and manhandles her affections, she becomes a ticking time bomb of self-destructive impulses.
“Elly McGrath, the other woman in Owen’s life, is a flat chested activist who has stumbled from one disastrous relationship to another. Her decade-long devotion to Owen Casals finally leads to marriage, but her problems are far from over.
“Lincky Desmond comes to her feminist awakening the hard way. Her parents die in a plane crash, the family business is sold out from under her, and her “perfect” first marriage to the doting, adorable Peter ends in predictable disaster.
“The three women eventually find fulfillment and each other in the publishing world. Jane writes about what she knows, sex, and becomes a wildly successful author. Elly parlays her talents into a key slot in the publicity department at North Star, a top publishing house, where she is assigned to trumpet Jane’s roman a clef about her own husband, Owen. Lincky, who has become North Star’s president, has the courage to handle Jane’s book, which others consider too hot to hawk.”–The Cleveland Plain-Dealer
“UPBEAT, SASSY….HARRIS WILL ENGAGE FANS AND NEWCOMERS ALIKE WITH ITS LIKABLE CHARACTERS AND ENJOYABLE FORAYS INTO THE POPULAR CULTURE OF THE 1960s. The story centers on three women in the their twenties at the time of John F. Kennedy’s assassination (a recurring motif) who dabble in the sexual, cultural and political freedoms that raucous era thrust upon the new generation…..Filled with romantic sparks, fast action and interesting tidbits of social history.”—Booklist
“SHARPLY AND STYLISHLY WRITTEN…Harris treads a fine line between popular fiction and more substantive women’s literature. She explores the effects of personal, political, social and sexual upheaval on a group of women who found themselves on the cusp of a society that promised women more risks and challenges that had ever before been available to them. Jane, Lincky and Elly are by turns bold, insecure, determined, passionate, daring and unconventional. Their paths, and those of their husbands and lovers, cross over a period of 25 years. Through each of these women Harris examines the meaning of love, success and personal happiness.”–Chicago Sun-Times
“GLORY BE! EXCELLENT…A thoroughly delightful tale of what it was like to be young, ambitious and in love during an exciting period of history.”–Los Angeles Times
