The Smart One by Jennifer Close
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Literary, United States, Chick-Lit, Contemporary Women, Domestic Life, Single Women, Contemporary Fiction, Genre Fiction, Family Life, Literary Fiction
W ith her best-selling debut, Girls in White Dresses (An “irresistible, pitch-perfect first novel” –Marie Claire), Jennifer Close captured friendship in those what-on-earth-am-I-going-to-do-with-my-life years of early adulthood. Now, with her sparkling new novel of parenthood and sibling rivalry, Close turns her gimlet eye to the only thing messier than friendship: family.
Weezy Coffey’s parents had always told her she was the smart one, while her sister was the pretty one. “Maureen will marry well,” their mother said, but instead it was Weezy who married well, to a kind man and good father. Weezy often wonders if she did this on purpose–thwarting expectations just to prove her parents wrong.
But now that Weezy’s own children are adults, they haven’t exactly been meeting her expectations either. Her oldest child, Martha, is thirty and living in her childhood bedroom after a spectacular career flameout. Martha now works at J.Crew, folding pants with whales embroidered on them and complaining bitterly about it. Weezy’s middle child, Claire, has broken up with her fiancé, canceled her wedding, and locked herself in her New York apartment–leaving Weezy to deal with the caterer and florist. And her youngest, Max, is dating a college classmate named Cleo, a girl so beautiful and confident she wears her swimsuit to family dinner, leaving other members of the Coffey household blushing and stammering into their plates.
As the Coffey children’s various missteps drive them back to their childhood home, Weezy suddenly finds her empty nest crowded and her children in full-scale regression. Martha is moping like a teenager, Claire is stumbling home drunk in the wee hours, and Max and Cleo are skulking around the basement, guarding a secret of their own. With radiant style and a generous spirit, The Smart One is a story about the ways in which we never really grow up, and the place where we return when things go drastically awry: home.

Sylvie O’Rourke, “The Sound of Music” devotee and born procrastinator, is about to die. Well, she thinks she is, anyway, and so attempts a last-ditch bargain with God for her life. “You guys are my witnesses,” she tells her sisters somewhere over Connecticut. “If we get out of this plane alive, I promise to do something good with my life.”
Back on firm ground, Kate and Meg won’t let their sister forget her promise, and with their years of practice hitting just the right chords of guilt (“What kind of person lies to God?” Meg wants to know), Sylvie finally caves.
A teaching position at the broken-down St. Matthew’s High School appears to be Sylvie’s perfect opportunity to do some good. That is, until she’s snubbed by a fellow teacher on the first day of school.
Whether she’s becoming a bit too invested in the students’ fall fundraiser or directing the school’s sure-fire musical disaster, Sylvie’s charmingly irreverent style gets her called down to the principal more often than her students. Can Sylvie keep her promise and make it through the year, dignity and sanity intact?

A Pandora’s Children Single
I have decided to pull five of my favorite stories from my Pandora’s Children collection and release them as $.99 standalone stories.
In “A Matter of Faith, A Matter of Balance”, an elderly religious leader has his faith tested when he is taken into custody by the sheriff of a small Nevada town. Will his arrest save the members of his cult from his rogue beliefs? Or will his incarceration result in the end of the world, as he predicts? (9,400 words)
Please note that this story has been previously published in Pandora’s Children Book 3: Death Bleeds into Life ($1.99) and Pandora’s Children: The Complete Nightmares Book 2($2.99), so if you have read either of those, don’t bother with this. But if you haven’t delved into the Pandora’s Children books yet, and don’t want to spend more than $.99, this is a good place to start.

R omance Writers of America® Golden Heart® Finalist
She’s trying to forget the pleasure in her ex’s arms
He’s doing his damnedest to remind her
Fledgling entrepreneur Samantha Riverà is in charge of her own life for the first time and determined to keep it that way. She’s attempting to banish her call-all-the-shots ex-husband from her dreams, but it’s kind of tough forgetting the Zorro look-alike who’s willing to do anything for her, except give her the only two things she wants–another baby and his love. When their 14-year-old daughter Dani–who’s maintaining a shaky remission from leukemia–rebels, Sam foolishly seeks advice from her Don Juan ex, who, incidentally, could charm the knickers off a nun.
When Nicolàs Riverà returns to Redemption, PA, to help control his defiant daughter, he discovers he not only has serious competition for Sam’s affection, but Dani has a crush on a boy who is the last kid Nick wants her interested in. The boy is a horn-dog rebel who reminds Nick way to much of his teen-aged self.
Sam never understood that, to a second-generation Latino man, familial responsibility is número uno. She also has no concept of how terrified this reformed bad-boy and businessman is of losing her to another high-risk pregnancy. The death of their premature son devastated Nick, and his refusal to sire another child incited The Great Bedroom War that ultimately destroyed his marriage. Now, he’ll stop at nothing to get his family back–even if it means blackmailing his way back into his ex-wife’s home to become a greater presence in his sick child’s life–and, with any luck, Samantha’s bed and heart.

“I wish this book would have been longer it was so good. I didn’t want it to end”by Lisa
Clara Roberts has found herself forced to flee across country, pursued by a madman who seems to have access to every aspect of her life. Consequently, she is off the grid and under the radar when her truck breaks down in a small corner of Southwestern, Oklahoma, and she finds herself at the mercy of a local cowboy. While she knows that she will eventually have to keep running to stay one step ahead of her stalker, she begins to find herself drawn to this man. With his support she decides that her life is something worth fighting for.
Shad Brandt wasn’t sure what to expect when he pulled over to help out the girl on the side of the road, but it isn’t long before he realizes that she was a lot more than he bargained for. He knows that she is running from something, but he can’t quite place his finger on what it is. However, he cannot turn his back on this woman in need and when he opens his home and his heart to her he finds something else entirely. So when danger comes to lay claim to Clara, he finds that he is willing to sacrifice everything to make sure she stays safe.
“He reached out and ran the palm of his hand down her arm. She shivered under his touch, but she didn’t take her eyes from his. They had darkened again, and she could see the desire there and knew it was reflected in hers as well. Before she could think about what she was doing, she put her arms around his neck, drew his face to hers, and kissed him.
His lips were hard at first, but after a moment, they softened, and he returned her embrace. When his tongue slipped into her mouth she groaned low and leaned into him as a fire uncoiled in her abdomen. It had been so long since a man had made her feel this way, and she felt herself slipping into unknown territory.
For once, she let herself go.”

Rosetta (Jim Meade: Martian P.I) by RJ Johnson
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Action & Adventure, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Science Fiction, Adventure
M urder, betrayal, the fate of Humanity… it’s all in a day’s work for Jim Meade: Martian P.I.
In a slow orbit around the sun, just beyond Mars, a mining colony known as Rosetta houses thousands of Consortium citizens who mine the valuable ore Humanity uses for space travel.

After a prominent scientist for The Consortium dies in an apparent accident, Jim Meade is hired by the victim’s family to find out what really happened to their father Dr. Sanjay Sinjakama. There, Meade finds himself caught up in a power struggle between the diabolical CEO of Nebula Mining Dimitri Koschei, and Lazarus Rincon, the charismatic leader of a vicious cult.

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy, Anthologies, Epic
T he Wind Riders. Fabled pirates, who sail the skies on magic airships, protecting the weak and harrassing the tyrannical Clerics who rule the nearby city of Tyr.

With many of their ships destroyed and their people dead, the surviving Wind Riders are forced to send a small group of volunteers into the heart of Tyr, the den of their hated enemies, to find allies who can purify crystals, the only way the Wind Riders can continue to fly their remaining ships. Failure would mean certain death for everyone ever known as a Wind Rider, as Tyr is busy preparing their next attack, one that will eradicate the Wind Riders from existence.
The Truth Witch by Charles Steed
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Political, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Thrillers
I t’s springtime in America and all is well. That is, until government officials everywhere begin offering unsolicited public confessions to serious transgressions of fraud, abuse of power, along with racketeering and corruption both in office and in their private lives. Without provocation, elected public servants at all levels of government from simple municipalities to the highest offices of the legislative branch in Washington DC are baring their souls without restraint, remorse or any rational motivation.
Each day brings a new rash of public confessions, seriously damaging confessions. When asked why they’re openly copping to their dirty laundry no one can come up with a straight answer, only that they feel compelled to clear the air and let the pieces fall where they may. Naturally, the media picks up on the unprecedented story as it becomes the inspiration for new reality TV shows and offers tantalizing fodder for late night TV talk programs and comedians everywhere. Of course, the question on everyone’s mind is, why is it happening? The media dubs the phenomenon The Truth Rampage as the confessions are the lead story in every newscast nationally as well as abroad.
It’s almost as though these officials are under a witches spell. Could it be that Delores Barnes, an unassuming, anxiety-ridden teacher’s assistant from Epping, New Hampshire is behind it? It’s true that she once practiced witchcraft with her high school girlfriends using an old spell book. Though that’s doubtful, as self-admitted meek, mild “scaredy cat” Delores is afraid of her own shadow. But after saving a congressman’s daughter from drowning at great risk to herself, Delores makes a dynamic life-changing transformation. Such a profound transformation, in fact, that she’ll inspire anyone who has ever experienced even the slightest bit of self-doubt.
Not only does she undergo an astounding personal metamorphosis, she discovers she has a great deal of leverage in persuading big business, the media and other predatory entities to cut the “little guys” a break in many areas of their lives. You’ll cheer aloud as Deloris (Dee) turns the tables on the manipulators and subtly lobbies for justice across the board for the people, and gets it.
And then there’s the President of the United States, Grant Holoman, a man who holds the highest approval rating of any president since ratings have been monitored. Holoman is loved my most, scorned by his contemporaries and feared by those who know him well. But the man isn’t who he appears to be on any level. The President publically endorses the phenomenon (though privately he loathes the Truth Rampage) saying it’s a breath of fresh air and openly welcomes the truth. But the popular President is a man with dark secrets and a diabolical agenda that involves political espionage, perjury, manipulation, murder for hire, and any other tactic that will advance his fanatical goal. The only problem for Holoman is that his plan stands to be derailed by the Truth Rampage. And… by a strange twist of fate, he’s unaffected by the trend of truth.
If you’re of the mind that it would be good for politicians to suddenly come clean with the whole truth and nothing but the truth you might want to think again as you see how this tale unfolds.
The Truth Witch is part political action thriller, political mystery, part action adventure, a dash of fantasy with a healthy dose of satire thrown in for good measure. As you read you’ll be picking your favorite actors for the screen version as this story is nail-biting, white knuckle stuff right down to the amazing climax.

The next day, Michael is visited by two Jesuits who ask him to investigate the murder, and Michael soon finds himself in the middle of a struggle for power and control over the finances of the Vatican. Unfortunately, his lucky break–one that should provide critical evidence–blurs the line between good and evil and not only endangers the lives of Michael and the Jesuits, but also imperils the lives of his wife and children.
From the Back Cover
“A word of advice Mr. Visconte. This is Vatican business. It’s dangerous to forget that.”
Michael Visconte never forgot the Vatican Bank’s $250 million payoff to the defrauded depositors of Banco Ambrosiano or the murder of Roberto Calvi. The fresh corpse at his feet told him it was far from over. He thought he already knew the consequences of double-crossing the Vatican.
But that was before he agreed to help the Jesuits blackmail the Pope…

But Ginger’s days of mediocrity are over. His lifetime dream – his consuming cat-crime passion – is to go to Barcelona and score a whole lorry-load of tapas specialities from Tesco’s.
And when he meets poor little woebegone Sparky – the cutest cat in the universe – he sees his chance. “Nobody gives me nuffink!” has been his complaint, but Sparky is “luck on a stick” and Ginger does everything possible (including catching his mice) to gain his trust.
Sparky however is hopelessly attached to his litter tray. He does not want to go to Barcelona. He is happy right where he is, surrounded by eccentric Indian neighbours, scary Australian vets, dogs with no mouthwash, and amorous local tom-cats.
Ginger has a date with destiny. After 150 years, and who knows how many of his nine lives gone, he is going to meet the 16 gangster cats who ruined his last one. And he’s out for revenge.
‘Ginger’ is aimed at 8+ children, the parents who enjoy reading to them, and cat lovers everywhere.

O
On Sale in the UK for just £2.50 Feb 15-16
The U.S. is home to 76% of the world’s Serial Killers
FREE FOR PRIME SELECT MEMBERS
In this riveting box set, an award-winning author delves into the gritty, gruesome details of the most notorious serial killers to strike the United States, including the unidentified killers who may still be on the loose.
This book is a compilation of four books: female serial killers, unsolved serial killings, notorious serial killers who were captured such as Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and doctors who killed their patients.
WOMEN WHO KILL
When we hear about a Serial Killer, we never consider the sex, we would immediately assume a man…right? but that’s not always the case! Females are for the most part, the loving and caring protectors of our species and the ones that are more susceptible to danger. However, they are in fact the most dangerous because they are the least suspected of the Serial Killers. Like their male counterparts, they show no remorse and have no mercy for their victims. Should we still call them the weaker sex?
CASE CLOSED: SERIAL KILLERS CAPTURED
When a Serial Killer is active in a community it is extremely scary for everyone. This book focuses on Serial Killers who have been captured and some of the most notorious and ruthless killers in history. Serial killers stay close to home and their victims are random. Dennis Rader found all his victims in Kansas not far from the Wichita home he shared with his wife and two kids. Rader, the president of his local church, knocked on his victim’s doors and they simply let him in. John Wayne Gacy, met many of his 33 victims, all young men and boys, at charity events where he appeared dressed a clown. After luring them to his house and murdering them he stuffed them under his Cook County, Illinois home. Gary Leon Ridgway, the Green River Killer, was convicted of strangling 49 random women he met in Washington. He confessed to killing 71 but authorities believe the number of victims could be over 90.
DOCTORS WHO KILLED
This book captures the stories of five doctors who have killed their patients, including, Harold Shipman, Marcel Petiot, Michael Swango, H.H. Holmes, and John Bodkin Adams. It is amazing that these people chose a profession to help save lives, but preferred to kill. Is it not their job to curtail suffering and death? We sometimes put our lives in the hands of doctors, trusting that our best interests are the most important to them.
UNSOLVED SERIAL KILLINGS
If you enjoy reading true crime and especially reading about Unsolved Serial Killers, this is the book for you. It’s hard to believe, that at any given time in the United States alone, there are thirty to fifty unidentified active serial killers at work constantly changing their targets and methods; however, some authorities think that number is even much higher. Complete with F.B.I stats, profile classifications and psychotic windows to peer into, this book is about the most horrific of criminals. There are some great examples of unsolved murders that leave the reader wondering, did the killer, stop killing, die, or go to prison on unrelated charges? A spellbinding page-turner from an author with investigator in his blood!”

Destined for an honored place among the classics of the American Civil War, Noble Cause is a book to read, and keep, and remember forever.
