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?

Simon Nasht’s thoroughly captivating account of the exploits of Hubert Wilkins makes for an exhilarating edge-of-your-seat read.” — John Berendt

Autobiography of a Hobo by Henry Chandler
Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs
H enry T Chandler, “Hobo,” “Hank” or “Happy” to those who knew him, was born in Boston in the late 1800’s and traveled widely around the turn of the century. He spent time in Hawaii and Canada, and hopped trains from New York to San Diego. His careers included writing articles for newspapers, baseball umpire, miner, seaman, salesman and tobacco entrepreneur.
Rather than gloat over having read the book already, or blather on about the artistic merits of the prose, let me just introduce you to a member of a “voluntary despised minority,” a hobo. Neither a tramp or a bindlestiff, a goofer or a snowbird, a hobo is a knight of the road, looking down upon the lowly beggars he sometimes shares his sleeping quarters with.
Before being homeless was cool, and I dare say, before anyone alive today rode a train, “Hobo” Chandler was dodging the cops and railroad men. In a hat, coat and tie he would stow away on any train or ship he took a fancy to. Neither suffering from mental illness, drug or alcohol dependency, and having no aversion to work when it suited his purposes, Chandler traveled widely, and was able to capture the feeling of a time long gone in his words.
Baseball fans will find many chapters devoted to the early days of baseball, and Chan spent many hours both playing and later umpiring when injury prevented him from continuing his major league career. Also included in the book is John L. Sullivan’s last known written correspondence, addressed to the author’s uncle.
Please be offended by the racist remarks, but not so offended you put the book down, remember that this was written by a man who saw the next to last century turn into the twentieth. Attitudes that we consider offensive today were the cultural norm, and to ignore our history excludes us from learning its lessons. Many archaic terms of speech, exclamation points, and hyphenated words await you.
This book was originally written in English Longhand, of which a sample can be found on the front leaf. This book was submitted multiple times for publishing, and suffered multiple rejections for various reasons. It took 12 years to decipher from the original longhand into a typewritten version, and it took an additional several years before the text could be modernized to bring you the version you are about to enjoy!

What’s Love Got To Do With It? How a Conversation with Ray Bradbury Changed My Life by David Boyne
Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs
“ Oh, God Almighty! I just want to go on being me! I’m on very good terms with myself. I’ve had a wonderful life, a terrific life. I’ve done all the things that I’ve wanted to do. When I was just out of high school I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t write a decent poem, I couldn’t write a short story, I couldn’t write a play, I couldn’t write an essay, I couldn’t write a screenplay. So one by one, over the years, by staying in love, I became a poet, I became a short story writer, I became a novelist, I became a screenwriter—but it was all love, you see?”

Norma Jean’s Sun, Memoir by Kris Courtney
Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs
M iraculous tale of how a boy, born into unimaginable physical and emotional pain and destined to be a misfit, finds his way in a world of “others.? Few could survive so many torturous years of surgical intervention and a ensuing lifelong struggle with drugs and alcohol addiction and come out ahead. This moving tale reveals not only the struggle and heartrending elements of generational lives “gone wrong,? but also the love and growth of a human being overcoming the odds and determined to find a way to live life to the fullest. Based on a true story, the author’s unapologetic prose prompts enduring ethical questions and makes a gripping, personal read.
This newly edited release of Norma Jean’s Sun will certainly exceed expectations. The story is not only convincingly true, but will rivet the reader with its genuine and unassuming pathos. Norma Jean’s Sun is painfully reflective yet ultimately hopeful, a story told through the eyes of a boy who believes he has been mistakenly born into the world and a man who conquers physical and emotional injustice–and thrives. The reader will be challenged to answer the difficult questions of right and wrong as they may apply to his or her own life. It is clear that it is the hope of this author that the reader’s conclusions will lead to a more fulfilled view of the “parallel beauty that lives just beneath the surface for us all.”
An artist in spirit and gift, Kris Courtney has lived much of his life in the Midwest and currently resides and works in Oxford, Ohio. Surrounded by talent and gifted students of life, he is dedicated to service and volunteer work. A percentage of the earnings from Norma Jean’s Sun book will go to research for Parkinson’s disease and colon cancer.

Genre(s): Romance, Historical Romance
P AGANINI’S FIRE is the story of history’s most celebrated violinist and composer, Niccolo Paganini. His meteoric rise from favorite musician in the corrupt court of Napoleon’s sister to Europe’s first celebrity performer is punctuated by nocturnal trysts with a real or imagined Dark Mistress. His remarkable musical feats and bizarre appearance cause many to suspect that Paganini has entered into a satanic pact.
A notorious rake, reckless gambler and callous lover who father’s a child, Paganini achieves fame, glory and wealth even though scandal and imprisonment haunt his career. Defying the odds in life, Paganini returns triumphantly time and again to the stage, but in death, scandal plagues him to the grave and he is denied a Christian burial, the ultimate scandal of all.
Did his demonic mistress collect her due or is Paganini’s love for his son the real answer to the lingering mystery of his true life and death?
THE REVIEWS
“Nearly one hundred seventy years following his death at age fifty-seven from a throat ailment, the name of the Italian virtuoso, Niccolò Paganini, continues to conjure up a variety of associations: those of a gaunt, nearly spectral showman and breathless daredevil of the violin, an inveterate gambler, an incorrigible womanizer, and — stated sotto voce — the Devil’s collaborator…A ‘devilish’ master performing his wizardry only inches away from the powerful Christian symbols placed at the very heart of his majestic violin! This, indeed, is the stuff of legend and provides the perfect vehicle for PAGANINI’S FIRE.”
– Stephanie Chase, Concert Violinist and Educator
Reviews of Ann Abelson’s other books:
“…a highly interesting story.”
– New York Times Book Review of “The Little Conquerors”.

Her three children, Kate, Angus and Violet, are variously furious, shocked, and intrigued by their mother’s choices. Plots to dissuade her come to nothing,
The children have their own interweaving lives and relationships to pursue. Everything comes to a head at the wedding reception of the pregnant Kate when her father-in-law, an ill-meaning meddler, goads Isabel into announcing, prematurely, that she means to sell the cottage because the nuns have rejected it.
The announcement, although apparently divisive, sows the seeds of an unexpected solution to the family’s dilemma, but it is a solution which will require sacrifice and some drastic changes of allegiance.

Kindle Daily Deal – Psychopath (Crimescape)
kindle daily deal
Psychopath (Crimescape) by Dr. Katherine Ramsland (Author), Marilyn Bardsley (Editor)
“ (A 69-page True Crime Short with photographs) H. H. Holmes was a central character in Erik Larson’s hugely successful The Devil in the White City, which is planned as a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Holmes is commonly viewed as a real-life Hannibal Lecter, a devious and cunning serial killer without equal. Holmes used the persona of a successful doctor and entrepreneur to draw untold numbers of young women to his three-story Chicago hotel to experiment on before killing them. Not one to waste, he’d often deflesh the corpses to sell the skeletons to medical schools. He enjoyed trying out methods of murder and watching his victims die. Scientists from his era believed Holmes’ brain would unlock the secret of his perversity, but he denied them the chance to find out. Today, we can figure him out without access to his brain. We know more today about the neuroscience of sadistic psychopaths and we can better understand what his brain – if dissected – would reveal. For the first time, we can look to research findings about killers to decode Holmes’s vile behavior.
From Psychopath:
“After the girls died, he’d enjoy viewing ‘their blackened and distorted faces’ before he dug a shallow grave, removed their clothing, and dumped them into it with ‘fiendish delight.’ Holmes considered that ‘for eight years before their deaths I had been almost as much a father to them as though they had been my own children.’
“It is precisely this behavior that most puzzles the ordinary person and draws the researcher’s attention: how can a man torture and asphyxiate children, or burn them and view it as entertainment? How can he ‘befriend’ them for years, knowing the whole time that he will end their lives? How can he describe it as pleasurable? This is the reason the psychopath holds our fascination. It’s why researchers even during Holmes’s era tried extracting criminal brains post-mortem for study. They hoped to locate the seat of disturbed moral consciousness.”

Meets Girl: A Novel by Will Entrekin
Genre(s): Literary Fiction, Fantasy
“ It’s romance and fairy tales. But it’s magic and whimsy too. It’s a writer’s lament and a coming-of-age tale (for lack of a better cliché.) It’s experimentation and taking chances. It’s poetry and music. It’s love and art.” -LL Book Review
“Silly and poignant and real . . . This isn’t a love letter to Veronica as much as a love letter to the process of falling in love, and to that of writing a novel. . . delightfully hyper-aware of its own storytelling.” -Books I Done Read
“A great read indeed . . . Entrekin has really shown himself to be a first rate novelist with Meets Girl. The story crackles with energy as it progresses toward a satisfying conclusion.” -The Outer View

Y ou’d think Dr. Tiffany LeBlanc would breeze through life with no worries. Although practicing in Lake Coburn, Louisiana, she and her handsome fiancé, Tanner Collins, were both reared in Houston’s elite circle of social snobbery.

Her only moral support is her brother, Drake, a practicing Houston attorney, other than the loving, but relocated, nanny who raised them both.

“In ‘Turds’, Jen strikes a powerful chord with her tales of deep-hearted friendship and pull-no-punches humor. Even though the events may be peppered with the occasionally spit-take inducing moment, you can’t help but come away from these stories thinking about your own best friend or the powerful yearning for a Joe of your own.” — Ren Cummins, author of the Chronicles of Aesirium

Arresting Grace by Michael Joel Green
Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs
M ichael Green expected many things from his 38th year: to redeem a failed acting/music/writing career, to build upon friendships and church relationships, and most of all, to finally meet someone. He’d been looking—and waiting—a long time.
What he didn’t expect was to get arrested for a DUI, driving home from a church dinner. That changed everything.
It was a shame, too. Two weeks earlier, he had met someone.
“Arresting Grace” is the story of Michael Green’s DUI arrest, as well as his long distance relationship with Jessie, a charming woman from the Bay Area. Thoughtfully written and raw, with unflinching honesty, Arresting Grace recalls such works as Donald Miller’s “Blue Like Jazz” and Anne LaMott’s “Grace (Eventually)”. A man searches for answers most earnestly when he’s brought low. This is the story of a man, fallen lower than imaginable, searching for God in the midst…and finding grace in the most unexpected places.

Borderline by Bonnie Rozanski
Genre(s): Young Adult
B orderline is a skewed coming-of-age story of a normal boy in a crazy world — a fast-paced world of high-tech gismos, global air travel and antibiotics, a world in which high schools have replaced cafeterias with fast food counters and the scourges of autism, asthma, allergies, diabetes and obesity are the norm.
“Borderline is a book that works on so many levels that it is almost unclassifiable. It is a genuinely warm, tender, humorous coming of age story while at the same time being a novel that is smart, informative and illuminating in the fields of genetics, autism as an increasingly proliferating condition, fast food and obesity as national crises, and the overemphasis of pill-popping for invented childhood and adult disorders. Sounds like too much information to compress into one book? Not in the deft hands of author Bonnie Rozanski! For all of the intelligent and interesting information the book contains, the story itself is an amazingly fresh novel, written with great style and sensitivity, a novel than will appeal to just about everyone no matter the age group.” –Grady Harp
“A brilliant coming-of-age story, Borderline portrays an overwhelmed older brother, an over-ignored son, and a determined caregiver in the form of Guy Ritter. And as if a teacher who has it out for you, a best friend who won’t stop eating and a temperamental semi-girlfriend isn’t enough, Guy’s also been dealing with his “austinistic” brother for way too long. And all that bulk has a lot of stress piggy-backed onto it. What can a thirteen-year-old kid do when his best friend’s father’s fast food feasting becomes perilous? And what will the utterly impulsive Guy do when he comes across the majestic experiment animal that soon becomes his best friend? And what about his brother’s controversial treatment? And most of all, can one child really deal with all that?” –L Spro flamingnet.com

This I Accomplish: Harriet Powers’ Bible Quilt and Other Pieces by Kyra E. Hicks
Genre(s): Nonfiction, Biographies & Memoirs, History
T he powerful quilts of Harriet Powers (1837-1910), a former Athens, Georgia slave, continue to capture our imagination today. Her two-known creations, the Bible Quilt and the Pictorial Quilt, have independently survived since stitched more than a century ago. Over the years, thousands of museum visitors to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston have stood transfixed viewing her artwork.
Powers’ two quilts are arguably the most well-known and cited coverings in American quilt history. But, until today, no one has told the entire, dramatic story of how these two quilts, one of which initially sold for $5, were coveted, cared for, and cherished for decades in private homes before emerging as priceless, national treasures.
This I Accomplish: Harriet Powers’ Bible Quilt and Other Pieces brings to light new, exciting facts – many never before published: complete exhibition history for both known quilts; proof Harriet Powers was a literate, award-winning quilter, who stitched at least five quilts and promoted her own artwork; profiles of the two nineteenth century women who sought to purchase the Bible Quilt; profiles of the three men who once owned the Pictorial Quilt; unveiling of a young artist who embellished the Pictorial Quilt; and the name of the person who first made the connection in the twentieth century that Harriet Powers stitched both quilts.
This I Accomplish: Harriet Powers’ Bible Quilt and Other Pieces is the most comprehensive resource guide on this influential African American quilter. The book includes nearly 200 bibliographic references, most annotative, including books, exhibition catalogs, newspapers, plays, poetry, interactive map and more. For the first time ever, readers are provided with clues and encouraged to search for Harriet Powers’ lost 1882 Lord’s Supper Quilt.
This I Accomplish: Harriet Powers’ Bible Quilt and Other Pieces is written by Kyra E. Hicks, a quilter whose story quilts have appeared in over forty group exhibitions in places such as the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, NY, the Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C., and the American Folk Art Museum in NY. Hicks is the author of Black Threads: An African American Quilting Sourcebook and Martha Ann’s Quilt for Queen Victoria. She lives in Arlington, Virginia.

Camera Boy: An Army Journalist’s War in Iraq by Fred Minnick
F red Minnick spent more than a year in Iraq as a U.S. Army public affairs photojournalist, covering the good, bad and ugly sides of the conflict. With a Nikon in one hand and an M-16 in the other, he accompanied combat troops on missions ranging from raids on suspected terrorist strongholds to public relations events including the opening of a school for girls. Some of the stories made it back home, most did not.Camera Boy offers an eye-witness account of the Iraq War from a soldier with a different POV–from behind a camera and typewriter. Unfortunately, being assigned to public affairs did not shield Staff Sergeant Minnick from the horrors of war–including the deaths of two close friends–or from the devastating effects of PTSD upon his return home.It is a story of courage, frustration (with both the military and the mainstream media), dedication and redemption. Includes more than 40 black and white photos taken by the author.

The Whisper Jar by Carole Lanham
Genre(s): Horror
“ I do not know what you have done, but put your mouth right here. Confess your crime to this fruit jar as though it were God’s ear.” ~ from The Whisper Jar
Some secrets are kept in jars — others, in books.
Some are left forgotten in musty rooms — others, created in old barns.
Some are brought about by destiny — others, born in blood.
Secrets — they are the hidden heart of this collection. In these pages, you will encounter a Blood Digger who bonds two children irrevocably together; a young woman who learns of her destiny through the random selection of a Bible verse; and a boy whose life begins to reflect the stories he reads…
“If you like dark, creepy stories with a theme of secrets and dark characters, you’re going to love this (I did!). It’s the perfect read for Halloween, and I can certainly recommend it highly. I had a great time with all of these stories, and it’s no surprise to me that all these stories have won acclaim in their own right.”
Colin F. Barnes, author of Killing my Boss
“Every now and then, a collection of short stories comes along that not only brings creepiness to new levels, but reaches in a little deeper and leaves something behind. The stories in The Whisper Jar are like that…they stick with you like soft voices in the memory. A great book for a dark and stormy night…”
David Niall Wilson, Award-winning author of Deep Blue, This is My Blood, and CEO of Crossroad Press
“Few writers can make love seem so horrible, or horror seem so lovely. The weird scenes Lanham paints for us are poignant and final, with hope strangled – but always in some strangely uplifting way. Perhaps gruesome and memorable are the best words to describe her work.”
Dr. Kim Paffenroth, author of Dying to Live and Gospel of the Living Dead

Blood Orchids (The Lei Crime Series) by Toby Neal
Genre(s): Mystery & Thrillers
F ast-paced crime mystery with a touch of romance, readers call Blood Orchids “un-putdownable”!
“Sometimes in crime fiction you stumble across a character who lives on beyond the book’s end by virtue of their psychological complexity, and the richness with which the author has drawn them. Will Graham, Jack Reacher, Alex Cross, and now they have a worthy female counterpart in Lei Teixera. Blood Orchids is that rarity among debut novels, in that it satisfies on every level. A powerful new talent is on the scene, whole-heartedly recommended.”-Drew Cross, former police officer and author of BiteMarks
