Book Description
August Archer thinks she's an average teenage girl—who also happens to have disturbing and sexy dreams about werewolves. Still grieving over the loss of her father, and confused about his final gift of a red hooded cloak, August is uprooted from her New York City apartment to the tiny town of Mahigan Falls, Maryland. There she meets a cast of characters that hold clues to her past—especially her new neighbor, an enigmatic, fascinating older man who refuses to talk to her, and who she cannot stop thinking about. When August's grandmother starts to weave a strange and unbelievable tale of werewolves and hunters, she realizes that the man of her dreams may be her family's oldest enemy, in this modern-day Red Riding Hood story. This series is a paranormal romance inspired by the Red Riding Hood fairy tale and is set in the 1980s. It includes tragedy, star-crossed lovers, fated mates, age-gap romance, and some kilts.

Inside the Red Mansion
Author: Oliver August
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 0547525982
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
A journalist meets fascinating characters while seeking out a fugitive gangster in the Chinese underworld. The notorious gangster Lai Changxing started out as an illiterate farmer, but in the tumult of China’s burgeoning economy, he seized the opportunity to remake himself as a bandit king. A newly minted billionaire of outsized personality and even greater appetites, he was a living legend who eventually ran afoul of authorities. The journalist Oliver August set out to find the fugitive Lai. On his quest he encountered a highly entertaining series of criminals and oddball entrepreneurs—and acquired unique insight into the paradoxes of modern China. Part crime caper, part travelogue, part trenchant cultural analysis, August’s page-turning account captures China’s giddy vibe and its darker vulnerabilities. Praise for Inside the Red Mansion “A year before “Inside the Red Mansion” was due to be published, a handler from the Chinese Foreign Ministry told August that he had enjoyed the book. You needn’t be a spy to agree.” —Janet Maslin, New York Times “A harrowing, super-detailed story of a China exploding with runaway growth yet still trapped in the past and ruled by the ethos of tufei—the classical Mandarin word for bandit . . . . This must-read, can’t-put-it down tale shows the China only hinted at on the evening news—a place of outsized egos, over-the-top commercial development and shadowy, tradition-bound authoritarian rule.” —Publishers Weekly
