Book Description
Bestselling author Jodi Picoult is a masterful storyteller, who “writes with a fine touch, a sharp eye for detail, and a firm grasp of the delicacy and complexity of human relationships” (The Boston Globe). Now, in this original short story, available exclusively as an eBook, Picoult introduces Serenity Jones, one of the fascinating characters from her eagerly awaited new novel, Leaving Time. Even as a child, Serenity Jones knew she possessed unusual psychic gifts. Now, decades later, she’s an acclaimed medium and host of her own widely viewed TV show, where she delivers messages to the living from loved ones who have passed. Lately, though, her efforts to boost ratings and garner fame have compromised her clairvoyant instincts. When Serenity books a young war widow to appear as a guest, the episode quickly unravels, stirring up a troubling controversy. And as she tries to undo the damage—to both her reputation and her show—Serenity finds that pride comes at a high price. Praise for Jodi Picoult “Picoult is a rare writer who delivers, book after book, a winning combination of the literary and the commercial.”—Entertainment Weekly “Picoult is a solid, lively storyteller.”—The New York Times “If Picoult were a general, she would be Patton; if a sports franchise, the New York Yankees; if a natural phenomenon, the sunrise.”—Tampa Tribune

The Devil Went Down to Texas... It turns out there is a worse place for a wannabe demon to be than hell...Fort Worth, Texas. Sure, it might be fine for all the humans walking around, but for me, it's the one thing getting in the way of me achieving full demon status. I need to corrupt a soul ASAP. Or else. Lookin' For Just One Soul to Steal... I figured the best place to find a corruptible soul would be in some dark corner of a western bar. Unfortunately, Chance Bellew is no ordinary cowboy perched on his barstool, looking like sin. He's a dark angel—the complement to my dark demon half—and now this assignment feels like much more than I bargained for.
