Winston D. Brownstone. Radically insane from birth, his extreme intelligence however, empowered him to fore-think his crimes from a very early age and over the years, murdered countless men and women. Brutal and bloody their deaths, and he enjoyed every moment, especially defiling the dead bodies in the most lurid, carnal manner imaginable, but, no longer confident in his superior mastery of eluding authorities, his intellect suddenly unable to curb the unfamiliar anxiety crushing his capability to reason, because now, the rabies virus completely infected his mind. THE CHERRY ON HIS CIGAR spans thirteen years, propelling the reader on a roller-coaster ride filled with passion, love, hate, fear and vengeance, journeying across America, down along the coast of Costa Rica, over to American Samoa and up through The Bering Strait.

Book Description
Perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Ali Hazelwood, this “sweet and funny” (Kerry Winfrey, author of Waiting for Tom Hanks) teen rom-com is hopelessly romantic with enemies to lovers and grumpy x sunshine energy! Liz hates her annoyingly attractive neighbour but he’s the only in with her long-term crush… Perpetual daydreamer and hopeless romantic Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. Now that he’s back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar—and maybe snag him as a prom date—even befriend Wes Bennet. The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbour might seem like a prime candidate for romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz’s butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s in. But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must re-examine everything she thought she knew about love—and rethink her own ideas of what Happily Ever After should look like. Better Than the Movies features quotes from the best-loved rom-coms of cinema and takes you on a rollercoaster of romance that isn’t movie-perfect but jaw-dropping and heart-stopping in unexpected ways. Pre-order Nothing Like the Movies, the swoony sequel to Better than the Movies and don't miss out on The Do-Over and Betting On You from Lynn Painter!

Book Description
Praise for Born Blind – “An extraordinary idea...” – W. S., national law firm partner “...intriguingly explores its themes of legality and justice.” - Kirkus Reviews “A unique novel - an education in American history played out in the lives of the protagonists.” - Rev. E. A. Schroder (tedschroder.com) The story continues in A Potter’s Vessel - The national crisis that erupted in Born Blind intensifies as Tennessee’s petition to withdraw from the Union goes to trial before the Supreme Court. The President and the Congress strive to pre-empt the Court’s verdict ahead of the elections of 1860. Every check and balance crafted into the Constitution is employed by the competing forces. Does the Constitution dictate that the votes of only five justices can validate Tennessee’s withdrawal? Or does the vote of the people and the Congress trump the power of the judiciary? Did the wisdom of the founding fathers enable the states to resolve their differences peaceably under the rule of law? Or did their compromises ensure that this constitutional case will be tried on the battlefield?

Book Description
On the island city state of Tehama, Niko "Spiffy Rings" is trapped in a cycle of flashbacks and vengeance. He's been in a malaise ever since he caught six bullets from his longtime father-figure, Lagoon, outside Cafe Ola five years ago. Lagoon looms god-like, a true boomtown heavy who creeps through the shadows of Niko's mindscape in puncturing nightmares. Oona Elm Tree has trudged her way up from a hardscrabble life in the streets to a power player atop the booming gleam-dream business. Oona's highly touted gleam shop, Yesterday's Villains, is a rival of Niko's shop. Like Niko, Oona is wedged between her loyalty to old guard racketeers like Sunny, and her desire to carve her own path into the future. When Niko is asked to orchestrate the rubout of a powerful tycoon on behalf of Oona, Niko must swallow his pride for the big score. Reality mixes with dreams amidst a boozy backdrop of eccentric hustlers where the steamy atmosphere is precarious at best. Underworld tremors shake up a wild cast of characters whom seek lifelines to the past, where things from the old world like the Congo River, Hawaii, and corndogs hold mystery.

Book Description
For centuries, a global conspiracy of secret societies have hoarded magic, keeping it hidden from the rest of the world. Before the age of reason and science, magic ruled the world. Now, it’s coming back. If most of humanity gets wiped out in the process ... well, sometimes you have to break a few eggs. A group of anarchs and heretics in Chicago work to tear down the barrier that has kept humanity ignorant of demons, forgotten myths, and ancient legends. Obsessed with discovering evidence of the afterlife, Mike Auburn's death-defying stunts have brought him closer than ever to lifting the veil of reality. However, his ventures to the edge have not gone unnoticed. The boss of a tenebrous organization recruits Mike to their cause. Nothing can possibly go wrong. Right? Before long, a world ruled by the scientific method and rational thinking is challenged by the supernatural. Drawn out by the long-awaited return of magic, the dead, the damned, and the demonic will stop at nothing to bring it back for good. Suddenly, Mike is stuck at the center of a battle between the forces of reason, of good, of evil and everything in between. Dawn is a clash of American Gods, Constantine, and The Dresden Files.
