Changing Lanes: A Novel by Kathleen Long

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, United States, Chick-Lit, Contemporary Women, Domestic Life, Romance, Contemporary, Contemporary Fiction, Genre Fiction, Family Life

A bby Halladay has the perfect life. Or, rather, she will…as long as everything goes exactly according to plan. Abby never leaves anything to chance–not her job as a syndicated columnist, not her engagement to her fiancé, Fred, and certainly not her impending wedding in Paris (New Jersey, that is).
Unfortunately for Abby, even the best-laid plans often go awry–like when Fred runs away to Paris (France, that is), her column is canned, and her dream home is diagnosed with termites. Forced to move back in with her parents and drive her dad’s cab, Abby’s perfect life has now officially become the perfect disaster.
Then a funny thing happens. Slowly but surely, Abby begins letting go of her dreams of perfection. As she does, the messy, imperfect life she thought she never wanted starts to feel exactly like the one she needs.
Poignant and heartfelt, Changing Lanes celebrates the unexpected joys of everyday life–and the enduring promise of second chances.

H aley Barrett senses that her life is about to forever change when she spies a blue rose in a Chelsea gateway.

She drops out of Princeton, heeding an intuition that there is something she must find before it is too late, and takes a job as a nanny for an Upper West Side family. In a blues club one night, she falls for the charismatic Evan Candelier, an actor whose star is rising. Evan’s façade of perfection begins to crack when he meets Haley, yet he keeps her at a mystifying distance.

Haley finds a “fairy godmother” in the irrepressible Sinclair Wellington, a costumer and Scottish count. Sinclair sews for Haley an enchanted velvet coat, entangles her in elegant misadventures to win Evan, all the while insisting that in matters of love, nothing is impossible. Until, one snowy day, Sinclair’s lost love from decades past reappears to upend his world.

From brownstones to bookshops, cafes to cathedrals, artist garrets to glittering avenues this circle of bohemians wend their way through late 80s Manhattan. No fairytale is complete without a castle (in Scotland), a ball (at Tavern On The Green), and a revelation, (in a vineyard at twilight) that will surprise and delight.

Vegas and the Mob by Al Moe

Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs, True Accounts, Organized Crime, History, Americas, United States, State & Local, True Crime, West

L as Vegas was the Mob’s greatest venture and most spectacular success,
and through 40 years of frenzy, murder, deceit, scams, and skimming, the
FBI listened on phone taps and did virtually nothing to stop the fun.
This is the truth about the Mob’s control of the casinos in Vegas like
you’ve never heard it before, from start to finish.

Two of the nation’s
most powerful crime family bosses went to prison in the 1930′s: Al
Capone, and Lucky Luciano. Frank Nitti took over the Chicago Outfit,
while Frank Costello ran things for the Luciano Family. Both men were
influenced by their bosses from prison, and both sent enough gangsters
into the streets to influence loan sharking, extortion, union control,
and drug sales.

Bugsy Siegel worked for both groups, handling a string
of murders and opening up gaming on the west coast, and that included
Las Vegas, an oasis of sin in the middle of the desert – and it was
legal. Most of it. The FBI watched as the Mob took control of casino
after casino, killed off the competition, and stole enough money to
bribe their way to respectability back home.

By the 1950′s, nearly every
major crime family had a stake in a Las Vegas casino. Some did better
than others. Casino owners watched-over their profits while competing
crime families eyed each other’s success like jealous lovers. Murder
often followed.

Hell Around the Horn by Rick Spilman

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Action & Adventure, Sea Adventures

H ell Around the Horn is a nautical thriller set in the last days of the great age of sail. In 1905, a young ship’s captain and his family set sail on the windjammer, Lady Rebecca, from Cardiff, Wales with a cargo of coal bound for Chile, by way of Cape Horn. Before they reach the Southern Ocean, the cargo catches fire, the mate threatens mutiny and one of the crew may be going mad, yet the greatest challenge will prove to be surviving the vicious westerly winds and mountainous seas of the worst Cape Horn winter in memory. Based on an actual voyage, Hell Around the Horn is a story of survival and the human spirit against overwhelming odds.

Praise for Hell Around the Horn:

Rick Spilman brings alive the rough and tumble world of the windjammer with authentic and well-chosen detail, in a voice that is at once historically authentic, yet fresh as a salty gale. One hand for yourself and one for the ship on this fast-paced and gripping ride. – Linda Collison, author of the Patricia MacPherson Nautical Adventures.

Battling against endless contrary gales, constantly struck with disaster and tragedy, the crew of the Lady Rebecca encountered the same privations that hundreds of unsung sailors endured. As well as a story that grips with gathering tension, this book memorializes the gallant windjammer sailors of a largely forgotten era – Joan Druett, award winning nautical historian, novelist and author of Tupaia

A much neglected period of sailing history is brought to life by Spilman’s fast-moving narrative and apt use of fact and detail. – Alaric Bond, author of the Fighting Sail series of novels.

Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs, Ethnic & National, Irish, Historical, British, Leaders & Notable People, Royalty, History, Europe, England, Ireland

B ONUS: This edition contains a The Tudors discussion guide.

Acclaimed historian G. J. Meyer provides a fresh look at the fabled Tudor dynasty–and some of the most enigmatic figures ever to rule a country. In 1485, Henry Tudor, whose claim to the English throne was so weak as to be almost laughable, nevertheless sailed from France with a ragtag army to take the crown from the family that had ruled England for almost four centuries. Fifty years later, his son, Henry VIII, aimed to seize even greater powers–ultimately leaving behind a brutal legacy that would blight the lives of his children and the destiny of his country. Edward VI, a fervent believer in reforming the English church, died before realizing his dream. Mary I, the disgraced daughter of Catherine of Aragon, tried and failed to reestablish the Catholic Church and produce an heir, while Elizabeth I sacrificed all chance of personal happiness in order to survive.

The Tudors presents the sinners and saints, the tragedies and triumphs, the high dreams and dark crimes, of this enthralling era.

A little magic can go a long way — to really screwing up a girl’s life!
Mara is having the worst month of her life. At least, that’s what her cards tell her and they’ve never been wrong. She’s evicted from her apartment, loses her job and is banned from Beverly Hills. So when the tarot cards predict her imminent demise, she uses a little magic to make her world right.

Suddenly, an aunt she’s never met dies, leaving Mara as her sole heir. But when Mara moves into her inherited home, she discovers Aunt Tillie never moved out. She’s still one pissed-off old lady, even post-mortem, and she blames Mara’s magical meddling for her death.

When Mara accidentally releases a demon and awakens the spirit of the most powerful witch in history, Tillie’s ready to kill her — literally. It’s the only way she can think of to save the girl from herself. The witch and the demon, however, have other plans for Mara’s body!

CAUTION: This is a story about witchcraft, friendship, loyalty, betrayal and obsession. While it has a lot of humor, it also has colorful language, demonic sex and controversial viewpoints. It’s really not suitable for children or readers who are easily offended.

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.

Ripple: Young Adult Version by E.L. Farris

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Coming of Age, Chick-Lit, Domestic Life, Family Life, Teens

W hen high-powered attorney Helen Thompson discovers that her fifteen-year old daughter has been sexually assaulted, she takes drastic measures.

Finding herself in trouble, Helen must relinquish control and put her faith in a process she knows to be flawed. As a team of lawyers, therapists and women from a safe house help Helen and Phoebe find hope and healing, a sociopath lurks, waiting for his moment to strike.

A lyrical, dark fairytale that will resonate with fans of women’s literature and psychological thrillers, Ripple delves into the nature of evil, without seeking to provide final answers to the issue of what makes a human commit evil acts. And while the author takes readers to scary places, she ultimately shines a light on the human condition and celebrates the triumph of the human spirit in the face of great tribulation.

Dear reader: This book is a condensed, abridged and quite frankly, a cleaned up version of Ripple, A Tale of Hope and Redemption. For weeks after I released Ripple, I felt a tinge of sadness and regret because my own daughter could not read it. “Mom,” she would urge, her blue-gray eyes only partially-hidden behind her girlish, red eyeglasses, “Can’t you make a version of it just for me?”

I would laugh and smile and without giving it too much thought, reply, “Well, sure, darling. I could do that.”

“Because I’d really like to read it now, and not have to wait until I’m–how old did you say I would have to be?”

“At least 14, but even then,” I’d groan, “It would be dicey.”

And then, just yesterday, my youngest son asked me if I would come into his first grade class and speak to them about writing. Naturally I was overjoyed to comply, but first I had to run it past his teacher. I sent her a link to Ripple, and I could sense her cringing across the interweb. I followed up with a note in which I sent her a couple of funny chapters, ones that I’d read to all three of my children. “They laughed so hard they cried,” I promised.

She wrote back and gave me the all-clear to come in for a visit.

But all of this got me thinking. It isn’t just adults that need a book like Ripple. Little girls, young women, and even young men, need a book they can read if they or someone they love is struggling with difficult issues like addiction and abuse. I wish I had been able to read a book like this when I was a little girl. It would have helped me a lot, and I am thinking that this book will help the Phoebes of the world.

As the mother of three, and as someone who has been through many dark days myself, I want to assure the mothers and fathers who are reading this book that I think it’s appropriate for young adults, and for even super-mature ten year olds. I would encourage you to give this condensed version, which I have subtitled Young Adult Version, a read or at a minimum, be available to listen to your kids when they come to you with questions.

And to my fellow Christians, I have removed as much of the R-rated language as the story allows. The fact is that most teenagers cuss. And Phoebe in that respect, and in so many others, is like most teenagers. I also removed as much of the graphic descriptions as I could. The fact is, my friends, that many young adults and even children are treated, nay forced to act as adults, and so they must be spoken to as adults. I strongly feel that this book fills a gaping hole in modern literature. While I realize that Ripple in all its versions is intense and raw and in places hard reading, that is as it must be, because life can be intense and raw and hard.

The themes touched on in Ripple: Young Adult Version are serious ones. But these are things that we as a society must stop sweeping under the rug. In order for the afflicted to heal, we must be courageous and honest about what happens to more than twenty five percent of our children. More important, we must give these children and their friends coping tools and keys to healing.

That is what this book offers.

On a cold night in January 2001, the idyllic community of Dartmouth College was shattered by the discovery that two of its most beloved professors had been hacked to death in their own home. Investigators searched helplessly for clues linking the victims, Half and Susanne Zantop, to their murderer or murderers. A few weeks later, across the river, in the town of Chelsea, Vermont, police cars were spotted in front of the house of high school senior Robert Tulloch. The police had come to question Tulloch and his best friend, Jim Parker. Soon , the town discovered the incomprehensible reality that Tulloch and Parker, two of Chelsea’s brightest and most popular sons, were now fugitives, wanted for the murders of Half and Susanne Zantop.

Watercolor renderings of stunning birds such as the Indigo Bunting, the Lord God Bird, and the Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker round out the collection, making SIGHTINGS a beautiful and inspiring volume.

When God Was a Rabbit by Sarah Winman

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Contemporary, Literary, Contemporary Fiction, Literary Fiction

T his is a book about a brother and a sister. It’s a book about secrets and starting over, friendship and family, triumph and tragedy, and everything in between. More than anything, it’s a book about love in all its forms. In a remarkably honest and confident voice, Sarah Winman has written the story of a memorable young heroine, Elly, and her loss of innocence-a magical portrait of growing up and the pull and power of family ties. From Essex and Cornwall to the streets of New York, from 1968 to the events of 9/11, When God Was a Rabbit follows the evolving bond of love and secrets between Elly and her brother Joe, and her increasing concern for an unusual best friend, Jenny Penny, who has secrets of her own. With its wit and humor, engaging characters whose eccentricities are adroitly and sometimes darkly drawn, and its themes of memory and identity, When God Was a Rabbit is a love letter to true friendship and fraternal love. Funny, utterly compelling, fully of sparkle, and poignant, too, When God Was a Rabbit heralds the start of a remarkable new literary career.

W hen Roscoe Jones, a one-time trumpet prodigy, loses his finger, he loses more than his ability to play. Instead of becoming a musician, he becomes the superintendent of the Chicago apartment building where he has lived since birth. Very soon, his life is no longer his own; he fades into the background, plumbing and fixing and toiling for the tenants populating the eleven stories above him. Although they hardly notice him as anything but a working part of the building, he develops a sometimes uncomfortable intimacy with the details of their complicated lives.

Every night, in the privacy of his basement quarters, alone with his secret longings, he plays his trumpet. That is until the evening he climbs to the roof to play in public for the first time in fifty years — and the course of his life is irrevocably changed.

For some, losses may turn, unexpectedly, to gain. For Roscoe, the relationships he forms with the tenants — two, in particular — justify the amputation of his finger and the forfeiture of his dreams. This is a story about sacrifice and service, longing and love — and the abiding hopefulness of the human heart that connects us all.

Aris: A Sexy Romance Novel (Thief of Hearts Series Book 1) by Elody Knight

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Romance, Contemporary, Gothic, Paranormal

F ollow Aris in his adventure: an action story about romance and love.

Aris tucked the barrel of his 9mm Beretta into the small of his back. “SEER sha.” he repeated, having never heard the name before. The sound of it rolled off his tongue with the silky ease of a French kiss.

“It’s Gaelic.” she said, as if the fire in her demeanor hadn’t already told him that. “Maybe your boy over there should move faster getting that trash can over here before she throws up on your shoe tops.”

This woman was no ordinary hostage, but then again, this wasn’t a run of the mill bank robbery.
Armed with the idea that they were sent to end evil in the world, Aris and his team know that when you steal money from a bank, the government prints more. After all, it’s only paper, until something goes horribly wrong.

Lives change forever on a warm sunny summer afternoon. A man dies, another is injured, a traitor is left behind, and one man’s heart is taken.

It’s only after things return to normal that Aris becomes aware that his thoughts are not where they should be. His body yearns for something he’s only barely tasted. His heart is heavy with the burden of what he cannot have. Exhausting himself by day is the only way the still of the night doesn’t become sheer torment. Lesser men would break and surrender, but Aris is not a weak man.

The impossible has to happen and Aris is determined it will. From squalor to poverty to a budget the size of a small nation, famine to fed, illiterate to educated, chaotic masses to well run organization, the pieces fall into place one by one over the course of seven years that lead him back to where his heart was lost.

“Ah. Rescuing a damsel in distress always puts a man on a pedestal in a woman’s eyes.” he rolled his eyes.

“You tore my skirt, dropped my Choo’s in the dirt, duct taped me to a stolen helicopter, and as if that wasn’t enough fun for one day, I got to spend the rest of the week with the Feds. Oh, a pedestal by all means. How about a pedestal called the gallows!” she didn’t realize she was squeezing him as she got more wound up.

He would have liked nothing better at the moment than to wrap both of his arms around her, but this was a very upscale establishment where there were norms that had to be observed. Instead, he pulled her closer to him putting his hip back between hers, where they had started on the dance floor. His breath on her neck caused a shiver down her spine causing her hips to tilt into his. The fact that she noticed how well endowed he was made her that much angrier.

Saoirse had held him captive for entirely too long and things were about to change.
