Beverley Green's First Adventure

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
A light-hearted, laugh-out-loud story about a loveable late bloomer, for fans of Janet Evanovich. After twenty years in New York, Beverley Green has had enough of big-city anonymity. Guthrie, the former capital of her home state of Oklahoma, seems like the perfect place to fulfill her dreams of owning chickens and opening an independent bookstore. But neither of those things pays the bills (yet), so she accepts a side gig as a reporter for the local paper. Trouble is, she’s been instructed to cover a spate of Bigfoot sightings, which makes her question her boss’ commitment to journalism … and the sanity of the entire town. Because everyone—from her persnickety landlady to Guthrie’s grumpy sheriff—seems to believe in Sasquatch. Beverley’s convinced they’re nuts, but if she proclaims herself as the only unbeliever, she risks being forever thought of as the resident outsider. And outsiders don’t sell many books. Desperate for help with the article, Beverley enlists the local “Bigfoot expert” (and resident cute guy) Danny Cadence to take her on an overnight Sasquatch stakeout. The night results in more than one front-page-worthy story … and as Beverley soon discovers, once you add in a nosey landlady, one cantankerous chicken, and, well, Bigfoot … the simple life may not be so simple after all! Beverley Green’s First Adventure is the first book in the sassy and irreverent Beverley Green Adventures series. If you’re looking to lose yourself in a lighthearted yarn, this is the novel for you!

Tree of Smoke
Author: Denis Johnson
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 9780374279127
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 638
Book Description
Once upon a time there was a war . . . and a young American who thought of himself as the Quiet American and the Ugly American, and who wished to be neither, who wanted instead to be the Wise American, or the Good American, but who eventually came to witness himself as the Real American and finally as simply the Fucking American. That’s me. This is the story of Skip Sands—spy-in-training, engaged in Psychological Operations against the Vietcong—and the disasters that befall him thanks to his famous uncle, a war hero known in intelligence circles simply as the Colonel. This is also the story of the Houston brothers, Bill and James, young men who drift out of the Arizona desert into a war in which the line between disinformation and delusion has blurred away. In its vision of human folly, and its gritty, sympathetic portraits of men and women desperate for an end to their loneliness, whether in sex or death or by the grace of God, this is a story like nothing in our literature. Tree of Smoke is Denis Johnson’s first full-length novel in nine years, and his most gripping, beautiful, and powerful work to date. Tree of Smoke is the 2007 National Book Award Winner for Fiction.
