Book Description
After twenty-three years of marriage to an utter jackass and beige décor as far as the eye can see, Campbell Cavett is now divorced. Officially. But how did she lose herself for all these years? Somehow she went from being a bold, starry-eyed young groupie who followed Golden Tiger on tour to...snapping photos of snot-nosed kids for their Pinterest moms at the local Portrait Hut. But she takes her Divorce Party one bottle of Pinot Grigio too far and wakes to discover she’s quit her boring-ass job, arranged to sell her house, and has tickets to the Golden Tiger reunion show. Which is exactly when fate and Campbell decide it’s time to pick up where she left off all those years ago. Now Campbell’s on tour as the official photographer of her favorite band and living the life she’s always dreamed. But backstage access means that she’s about to discover a whole lot. Not just about herself, but about a blast from her past who looks way hotter than he has any right to twenty-plus years later. Plus there’s that mind-blowing secret Golden Tiger’s been hiding from everyone. They say time can heal anything. But is six weeks on the road enough to truly start fresh?

Book Description
With wit, adventure, and style to spare, this gripping and utterly original thriller is "a spy story that sticks" (The Dallas Morning News). When Charlie Clark takes a break from his latest losing streak at the track to bring home his Alzheimer’s-addled father, Drummond, they’re attacked by two mysterious shooters. At first, Charlie thinks his Russian “creditors” are employing aggressive collection tactics. But once Drummond effortlessly hot-wires a car, Charlie discovers that his unassuming father was actually a deep cover CIA agent . . . and there is extremely sensitive information rattling around in his troubled mind. Now the CIA wants to “contain” him, so the two embark on a wild chase through the labyrinthine world of national security that will force them to confront unspeakable danger, dark conspiracies, and what it means to be a father and son.

Book Description
On a clear summer day in Dublin, O'Connell Street is crowded with pedestrians when a bomb explodes directly beneath a black taxicab, sending several people to a horrific death. Police investigators led by Blade Macken, a weathered detective superintendent hard on his luck, discover that the bomb was detonated from below the asphalt streets. A twisted killer called Angel contacts Blade and tells him more bombs have been planted. There is no way the police can find them, short of tearing up every street in Dublin. With only days to stop Angel before the city erupts in panic and despair, Blade must search into his troubled past to learn who is behind these devilish acts. If he fails, it may very well even cost the life of the American president. The breakneck pacing, fabulous characters, and authentic Irish setting in David M. Kiely's The Angel Tapes promise a hopeful future for this new series.

Book Description
Who made the first snowman? Who first came up with the idea of placing snowballs on top of each other, and who decided they would use a carrot for a nose? Most puzzling of all: How can this mystery ever be solved, with all the evidence long since melted? The snowman appears everywhere on practically everything -- from knickknacks to greeting cards to seasonal sweaters we plan to return. Whenever we see big snowballs our first impulse is to deck them out with a top hat. Humorist and writer Bob Eckstein has long been fascinated by this ubiquitous symbol of wintertime fun -- and finally, for the first time, one of the world's most popular icons gets his due. A thoroughly entertaining exploration, The History of the Snowman travels back in time to shed light on the snowman's enigmatic past -- from the present day, in which the snowman reigns as the King of Kitsch, to the Dark Ages, with the creation of the very first snowman. Eckstein's curiosity began playfully enough, but soon snowballed into a (mostly) earnest quest of chasing Frosty around the world, into museums and libraries, and seeking out the advice of leading historians and scholars. The result is a riveting history that reaches back through centuries and across cultures -- sweeping from fifteenth-century Italian snowballs to eighteenth-century Russian ice sculptures to the regrettable "white-trash years" (1975-2000). The snowman is not just part of our childhood memories, but is an integral part of our world culture, appearing -- much like a frozen Forrest Gump -- alongside dignitaries and celebrities during momentous events. Again and again, the snowman pops up in rare prints, paintings, early movies, advertising and, over the past century, in every art form imaginable. And the jolly snowman -- ostensibly as pure as the driven snow -- also harbors a dark past full of political intrigue, sex, and violence. With more than two hundred illustrations and a special section of the best snowman cartoons, The History of the Snowman is a truly original winter classic -- smart, surprisingly enlightening, and quite simply the coolest book ever.

Book Description
“On my own, living backstage in a Washington, DC, theater at 16, marriage at 17, fatherhood at 19, divorce at 24, twenty years in the burbs in a gay relationship with 3 kids and a live-in mother-law who stayed for 28 years, and a decade-long mid-life love aff air that is best paraphrased by the title of an old torch song that my beloved Aunt Tillie loved to sing after one too many vodkas – “Six Beers with the Wrong Kind of Man” gives you a sense of my story. Oh, there was the time I stalked and met Judy Garland; shared a couple of brews with Paul Newman at Carter’s Inaugural Cast Party, where I pissed Bette Davis off in one sentence and when I narrowly escaped becoming the hood ornament on Lady Diana’s Jaguar – beyond that life was pretty much a mundane walk in the park.” Tim Ricker
