The Big Catnap (Sam the Cat Mysteries, No. 2)

Cheshire House Books

Defining what it means by "in sickness and in health," the author takes her readers on an introspective journey that begins in serenity and then hits an unexpected fork in the road where the sign reads Cancer and the arrow points down. The book is dedicated to the husband she lost, but it might have been written for all loving wives who must follow the same path-- from the hospital corridors, through the mapless mazes of grief, and then finally into a new and resilient recovery. Anyone who's going through a similar experience will not merely read, but will recognize, this book. "Moving. Eloquent...Words that resonate powerfully on the page..." -Kaity Tong, Broadcast Journalist, WPIX-TV, New York. "..A wonderful memoir that poses the essential questions we all ask when we lose the people we love." -Dee Ito, author of Without Estrogen

Okay. Here it is. The ultimate How To for anyone who's entering or reentering the job market, starting a small business, or working freelance. Crammed with information, both technical and strategic, about everything listed in the subtitle (and more), this is sure to be the one and only writing book you'll need. Based on a college course she taught in New York City at the School of Visual Arts, and on years of successful experience in business, Scrivener has penned a handbook that's lively and conversational, and embodies her basic premise: That business writing, too, should have a conversational tone. Answering tricky questions about grammar and punctuation, about sharpening thoughts to a point, about marketing, strategizing, handling stuff you hate (The 10 Most Horrible Letters You Have to Write), dealing with sticky contracts, and protecting your ideas, this engaging little volume is a reference book classic that readers will find useful throughout their careers. 'A must for job seekers...Practical, comprehensive and great fun to read' Jaime Adams, The Adams Agency. 'Smart, insightful approaches to get results...Should be required reading for anyone who wants to communicate effectively'- Caress Kennedy, President, Career Blazers 'Survival Writing with its do-it-yourself exercises, shows you how to write your own ticket to success. It's a reference book you'll turn to for many years to come. Get it, read it, use it!' - Robert Masello, author of Robert's Rules of Writing..

Then "She" walks into his office, purrs out her unhappy story, and begs him to take her case. Sam doesn't play the sap for anyone, but she's pretty, scared, and needs his help. Or does she?

The Great Catsby (A Sam the Cat Mysteries)

Manhattan Roulette

When sex in the city becomes a deadly game, it's up to the Manhattan Homicide Task Force to deal with the startling serial murders that are panicking the city and pressuring the pols. But Manhattan Roulette, with its pungent insights and razor-sharp, occasionally rollicking, prose, is more than just a riveting detective story: it's a probing exploration of the state of our unions in the post-romantic world. ##It's also a compelling character study. Its hero, Burt Brymmer, is a man who's both physically and emotionally scarred, and as the head of an expanding team of detectives, he's uniquely equipped to take the case to a close. His partner, Steve Ross, whose manic sense of humor is a shield against the tragedies he faces at home, is the yin to Brymmer's yang as they move through Manhattan accumulating stories from the winners and losers in a fatal game of chance. From porn writers to cover girls, bartenders to fashionistas, stockbrokers to millionaires with a taste for the exotic and the desperate huddled misses haunting the West Side bars, the novel covers a city where nobody seems to sleep without Lunesta or Ativan or a 3AM hookup. Brymmer gets his own chance to gamble with his luck when a Fox News reporter who's been following the blood trail with a questionable persistence starts to knock on his heart and to challenge his reserve. ##;Written in a fresh, direct and cinematic style, Manhattan Roulette takes the popular genre of police detection to a new and bracing level.
