Of course, there’s Eddie, the hot Latino shop owner Jessie calls when a problem is too big for her to handle. Their relationship has been nothing more than heavy flirting until a brief encounter that leaves Jessie wondering what it means. Then everything changes.

Mystery

With a Monk meets Leverage flair, Brakus is no ordinary jewelry thief. He can pick any lock, crack any safe, and foil any security system. He is quirky and a card-carrying sufferer of OCD. He is fit, handsome, and capable of Zen-like bouts of concentration. He seemingly has it all. Everything, that is, except control. Brakus goes to great lengths to satisfy the irrational and superstitious needs of his fragile psyche. Whether that means crossing a bridge repeatedly until he recites the Hail Mary properly or covering all the seams between the tiles in his motel bathroom, Brakus is at the mercy of his compulsions. To date, his penchant for neatness and organization has served him well. But things go horribly, murderously wrong when he tries to pull off the ultimate double-heist in a small tourist town nestled at the foot of the Green Mountains in Vermont. There he bumps up against the limits of his perfection—and the limitlessness of his greed. "...well-written thriller featuring a memorable main character who grows creepier by the page."--Kirkus Reviews

Joined in his quest by the kind and sensitive Ally Holman, D.J. repeatedly clashes with John Brock, the brilliant moralist at the head of student government — which alone has the power to approve or deny the proposed club. As the pivotal vote draws near, the three will find their deepest assumptions challenged and every aspect of their faith tested, as they learn new ways to live in a complicated world and discover what — if anything — is truly worth fighting for.

Sometimes being a vampire isn't all it's cracked up to be. Julian Brownell, a two thousand-year-old vampire, is learning that the hard way. The depression and divorce in his banal, pretend-human life was bad enough. But when he decides to burst back onto the vampire scene, things go from bad to worse as he finds himself firmly in the sights of the deadliest vampire hunter of all time. A History in Blood depicts a world where vampire culture and politics reside peacefully beside the world above ground, a world where vampires don t adhere to the erroneous traditional lore. Stakes to the heart cannot kill them only fire or decapitation. Although popular opinion suggests that garlic and sunlight are fatal to them, in truth, these are more like allergies that affect them to varying degrees. Against this backdrop, and with a healthy dose of humor, the story follows Titus Acilius (aka Julian Brownell, aka Christian Beauparlant, aka Texas Jack, aka any number of alternate identities) on his journey to protect the people he loves from harm even as he searches for the answers to his ancient-life crisis.

Thrillers & Suspense

Described as “a bare-knuckle love story where most of the punches were below the belt and no one was saved by the bell”, Hood provides riveting details from Dawn Morrison Brady’s first encounter with Tommy Morrison to the moment the two-time WBO heavyweight boxing champ succumbed to AIDS in September 2013. Hood’s biography of Tommy Morrison is based upon personal interviews with Dawn Morrison Brady, her detailed journal entries that spanned over 13 years, and early life tales as told to her by Tommy’s grandparents, parents, brothers and sister. It now serves as a permanent record of the life she lived with him for those same hard-fought, abusive years—in and out of the ring. Hood reveals, in great detail, facts about Tommy’s life in and out of the ring, in and out of prison, and in and out of his multiple marriages. Dawn Morrison Brady took every punch Tommy Morrison threw and his death leaves her with what she describes as a mix of “crazy good” and “crazy bad” memories. Despite the negatives, Dawn told Hood, “Tommy was also a very religious man, and was most proud when he was addressed as Champ, but nothing meant as much to him as when his four boys called him Dad.

Memoirs

Rosa Norway moved upward through the ranks of legions of attorneys practicing in Nashville, until she had finally become one of the premier criminal attorneys in the City. But she crossed the line and suddenly found herself on the cusp of losing everything she had worked so hard to achieve. She woke up one morning in the arms of John Hampton, the Criminal Court Judge currently presiding over a pending case of manslaughter involving her client, Jake McKay. Later, while still involved in the trial, as a result of a disastrous turn of events she suddenly found herself positioned to lose her right to practice law and potentially her own freedom. While she contended with a mixture of ethical and personal issues, she continued to struggle not only with a client who insisted he was not guilty of the gruesome crime with which he was charged, but also with his overbearing, controlling friend, who appeared to be capable of doing almost anything to insure the legal proceedings progressed as he wished. She had one person she felt she could trust. Unfortunately, he was the cop investigating those yet publicly undisclosed issues of which she was deeply involved. Each move she made seemed to only drag her deeper into a swirl of ethical and legal violations which, unfortunately, also seemed to adversely affect every one close to her.

An Absence of Ethics

Buster Gaines, a naïve, newly minted high school graduate in need of college tuition money ventures out into the world on his own and aboard the Texas Eagle in St. Louis. There he begins a summer adventure in 1966 working as a switchman in the Texarkana rail yards — an often thrilling but always dangerous job. He finds companionship with railroaders who accept him as one of their own and soon he discovers the thrills of being free to make his own decisions. Immersed in the racially charged setting of the mid-1960s, Buster doesn’t seem to understand the intractable code for social behavior operating in the South and finds himself at odds with it. He tries to befriend an older black railroad employee, but when warnings against fraternization are ignored, the stationmaster decides to punish him and arranges a transfer to the much rougher rail yards of Shreveport, Louisiana. Preceded by his reputation as a “nigger lover,” Buster finds he has been sent to a world alien to him. He is confronted by the contempt of the district railroad superintendent and quickly learns he has no acceptance among the members of his new crews. Their disdain for the young outsider soon manifests itself in acts of ostracism and defamation — and ultimately physical confrontation. Cherishing his job as a railroader while fearing for his safety and even his life, Buster must persevere and adapt to the reality of being alone in a hostile world.
