REALLY BAD NEWS--THE BABY-SITTER COULD BE A MURDERER!
A year following Boston-based auto mechanic Alex Glauberman’s first brush with murder, mystery, and the life of an amateur detective (in RETURN TO SENDER), he’s recovered from cancer and chemotherapy; he’s studying tai chi for its pleasures and therapeutic effects; and he’s getting on with his life. Then, in the space of a two-minute phone call, he’s ensnared in another mystery.

His anniversary dinner with girlfriend Meredith comes to an abrupt halt when a quick check-in with the babysitter yields the news from Alex’s sleepy nine-year-old that the babysitter has left: “She said it was an emergency. She said the emergency was that somebody was dead.”

More worrisome still, the babysitter, college student Suzanne Lutrello, cannot be found, and then her ex-boyfriend is savagely killed.

Alex’s newly minted private detective skills come quickly into play, but he soon discovers he isn't the only one looking for Suzanne. As he outruns her pursuers and their threats, he navigates the world of old Boston money to its intersection with small-town corruption, high-end prostitution, and drug-addiction recovery, in a life-or-death finish amid the stark white New England winter woods.

For fans of Jewish detectives like Rabbi Small, Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus, Rebecca Schwartz, Jake Samson—even Moses Wine (without the wisecracks); and those who love vintage male sleuths like Ellery Queen, Gideon Oliver, Stanley Hastings, and almost all British detectives--the ones who're not too cozy, yet not too hard-boiled. This case is more of an action adventure story than a traditional mystery—but trust us, it’ll appeal to fans of the traditional mystery as well as those who’ll appreciate Alex’s putting his tai-chi training to good use. How do we know? Because Alex is one of those dependable detectives all too rare in crime fiction—a private investigator you actually like to be with. Not too smart-mouthed, not too close-mouthed, just…kind of a mensch.
 

Jane Ryland-meets-Cold Case—two killer murder mysteries in one!

Badass reporter-turned-writer Leah Nash is no stranger to danger or deceit. In these two sequels to Susan Hunter’s stunning cozy noir puzzler Dangerous Habits, Leah takes on lies, drugs, and murder in small town Himmel, Wisconsin with the same smartass fearlessness as she did in her chilling debut.

DANGEROUS MISTAKES

Susan Hunter's not quite hard-boiled, not quite cozy sequel catches back up with savvy, independent sleuth Leah Nash along the icy twists and turns of small town mystery in Wisconsin, spiraling down a rabbit hole of fraud, layers upon layers of family secrets, and murder.

“All of us are dying,” states a cryptic Betty Meier to no-nonsense (and oft-accused smart-mouth) reporter Leah Nash one morning, Hours later, Betty’s house ends up torched—and Leah’s covering it for the tiny Himmel Times Weekly. And then she receives a midnight phone call from a mysterious young woman named Isabel, begging her to investigate the death of her wealthy father, Garrett Whiting, a renowned surgeon with possible ties to fraudulent activity. Boohoo, thinks our heroine. Except Isabel found him in his study with a bullet to the brain and a poisonous rum and coke in hand.

DANGEROUS PLACES

Things are finally looking up for Leah Nash. A former investigative reporter (and admittedly reputable smart-mouth), she’s now a full-time true crime writer. And after the publishing of her first book, she’s finally home-sweet-home in small town Himmel after a whirlwind 3-month book tour. But her homecoming library reading is interrupted by Sammy, a childhood friend whose brother was long ago accused of murdering his high school sweetheart, Heather. Sammy begs Leah to re-investigate Heather’s mysterious disappearance—a cold case decades old. And when she does, she discovers town secrets even she never saw coming.

Who will like it: Fans of not quite cozy, not quite hard-boiled mysteries featuring strong female leads: think Nancy Pickard's series featuring true crime author Marie Lightfoot, fans of reporter sleuths like Hank Philippi Ryan’s Jane Ryland, and writers like Louise Penny (Three Pines, Canada) and Christine Kling (the Florida Keys). And, of course, the hit T.V. series Cold Case.

I have it all.
Money. Fame. Women
But now – I only want her.

As a star linebacker, I’ve had my share of fun. Girls throw themselves at me and until now I’ve been happy to let them.

Until I met her…

Tammy Rose. She’s gorgeous.
She doesn’t know it. She gets my jeans bulging and my head spinning.
And the best part? She has no idea who I am.

It’s hard for a guy in my position to find a girl I can trust. A girl I could make mine forever – and until now I’d given up on the idea.
But after the night we spent together, I knew she was the one.

But I screwed up. I made a mistake and I don’t know if I can make it right. It’s been two years…
Two years since I felt her, smelled her, looked into those gorgeous eyes.
But now I’m back, and I’m not letting her go. Not this time – not when she’s the mother of my child.

The Longest Game is a stand alone instalove romance with no cheating, no cliffhanger, and of course – a HEA, and plenty of steam to keep your Kindles hot! Disclaimer: not responsible for undergarments that need replacing ;)

She was hidden from the world. Then he arrived.
An emotional new novel from six-time USA Today bestselling author Deanna Roy

For four years, I’ve lived in almost total seclusion. Homeschooled, forbidden from social media, seeing no one other than the dancers at Dreamcatcher Academy, where I teach ballet to little girls in wheelchairs.

Then Blitz arrives.

He’s the disgraced host of Dance Blitz, a bawdy reality show where Blitz sleeps with as many dancers as possible while looking for his perfect partner.

At least he was. A few weeks ago, he got kicked off his own show.

He’s at my academy for a publicity stunt, and my wheelchair ballerinas are his ticket back into the public’s good graces.

I intend to hate him and stay as far away as possible. But when he looks at me, I can’t resist. Before I realize what’s happened, we’re sneaking into back rooms, dancing, kissing, planning dates away from the cameras and the wrath of my family.

But I’m afraid. I have a secret at the academy, a small, wonderful, terrible secret, and if I stay with Blitz, the world will find out.

After getting a job to steal a mysterious item from one of the richest men in The Dea, they realize what they've actually stolen is an ancient relic that many mercenaries, governments, air pirates, and monsters greatly desire.

This eight episode short fantasy fiction series follows the brothers as they run from danger, encounter all sorts of colorful characters and visit some of the most spectacular and sometimes dangerous places in their world. The secrets they unlock will have great impact on a future that is uncertain.

This is the first introduction into the imagination of writer KC Hunter. In a sense, this is a prequel to the upcoming Dorian Delmontez five book series which will debut in late 2017.

"It was the kind of morning that made him wonder if God hated the Irish..."

Dublin has been on a knife-edge since the failed rebellion in July, and Jimmy O'Flaherty suspects a newcomer to The Liberties - Kitty Doyle - is mixed up in it. She accuses him of spying for the English, and he thinks she's a reckless troublemaker.

All Jimmy wants is to earn enough coin to buy passage to America. But when the English turn his trading patch into a gallows, Jimmy finds himself drawn into the very conflict he's spent his whole life avoiding.

"Liberty Boy is a riveting tale of an overlooked rebellion, told from the perspective of the streets, with gifted dialogue that is more heard than read and unexpected twists that leave you breathless from first page to last." - Cindy Vallar, Historical Novel Society Review.

Rose Cooper leads a scientific team to conduct research into the Clans of remote and rugged Planet Kratak. The Clans live in massive Keeps build directly into the heart of the forbidding mountains.
