But maybe his luck is changing...the guy with the tweezers is Hot Dr. Reindeer Antlers. Surely it's a sign!I thoroughly enjoyed the characters of Seth and Noah from the moment they meet through to the end of the story.  Their attraction is palpable and the story is sexy and fun. ...There is fun humor spun throughout the story and an intensely erotic scene with Seth and Noah.  The anticipation builds to this scene as the men spend time together until they finally have a chance to be alone.  I smiled while reading the entire story and couldn't put it down.  Everything about it is perfect ~ just the right amount of story, just the right amount of emotions, just the right amount of love. ...I finished this story and immediately wanted to turn back to the first page and read it all over again. - Enigmatically EmilyChristmas Luck by Bethany Brown radiated a glow on every one of its 51 pages - Steve Williams, Suite 101 ;

        by Wayne Johnston

        Rachel, a hyper-graphic, hyper-lexic South African expat who is obsessed with The Diary of Anne Frank, is the youngest of four van Hout daughters whose father Hans, a Dutch-South African accounting professor, moved his family to Newfoundland to make a new start.   When Wade, a young writer, meets and falls in love with Rachel, he learns that nothing in the world of the van Houts is what it seems, and that Rachel’s obsessions have deeper and more disturbing roots than he couldever have imagined. Each of the four beautiful, dutiful daughters is, in her distinctive way, a wounded soul. The oldest, Gloria, is a hyper-sexual exhibitionist (or is she?) who, by the age of 28, has been married five times. Carmen is addicted to every drug her Afrikaans drug pusher husband Fritz can lay his hands on. Sardonic and self-deprecating Bethany, aka Deathany, is fighting a losing battle with anorexia. And then there is Rachel, who reads and writes obsessively, diarizing her days in a secret language of her own invention.   Set in Newfoundland, apartheid era South Africa, wartime Amsterdam, and two concentration camps this is an intricately woven and propulsive novel that chronicles the unmasking of a mythomaniacal family and the sisters’ fight for love and their very lives. Informed by real events, it is a real tour de force.

        Don't Cry Over Killed Milk

        A Damon Lassard Dabbling Detective Mystery

        by Stephen Kaminski

        Jeremiah Milk lived a life filled with emotional extremes. Amniotic band syndrome—a congenital condition—left his fingers and toes malformed. Ridiculed as a child, he became an adolescent hermit. As an adult, Jeremiah’s wounds healed when he landed a position as a park ranger and married a woman who loved him despite his physical appearance. But fate ripped his life to shreds when his wife and infant son died on the same night in separate calamities. Shortly thereafter, the tides turned once more as an act of Jeremiah’s ostensible benevolence translates into a financial boon. The book on Jeremiah’s life closes without mercy when he’s found murdered at Tripping Falls State Park.   Damon Lassard—Hollydale’s loveable civic leader, amateur sleuth, and Jeremiah’s neighbor—springs into action. He’s obstructed by a prickly lieutenant, but wriggles information unknown to the police from a colorful bevy of suspects. Aided by his best friend Rebecca and his reluctant ally Detective Gerry Sloman, Damon engineers a deep dive into Jeremiah’s past to solve the crime. Along the way, Damon strengthens his relationship with the breathtaking Bethany Krims, cracks a local horticultural mystery, and tries in vain to tame his wickedly sarcastic mother.

        Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms

        Stories and Essays

        by Tim McLoughlin

        In Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, Tim McLoughlin draws upon his three-decade career in the criminal justice system with his characteristic wit and his fascination with misfits and malfeasance. A lifetime living and working in New York City feeds short stories that evoke a landscape of characters rife with personal arrogance and misjudgment; and nonfiction essays about toeing the line when the line keeps disappearing. An opioid-addicted catsitter electronically eavesdrops on his neighbors only to hear devastating truths. A degenerate gambler stakes his life on a long shot because he sees three lucky numbers on the license plate of a passing car. In the nonfiction essays, we learn that the system plays a role in supporting vice, as long as it gets a cut. Altar boys compete to work weddings and funerals for tips in the shadow of predatory priests. Cops become robbers, and a mob boss just might be a civil rights icon. McLoughlin shines a light on worlds that few have access to. Always urban, often New York–centric, in his work a recurring theme is chronic displacement, people standing still in a city that is always changing. These are McLoughlin’s ghosts, these casualties of progress, and he holds them dear and celebrates them.
