  • Setup

    by Ray Collins

    Detective Andrew (“Book”) Booker chases Franco Moretti, a killer on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, into a dark alley one night in Washington, DC. But rather than apprehending the fugitive, it is Book who is arrested, supposedly for murdering a Black teenager. Despite claims he’s been framed, Book is forced to resign from the DC police and narrowly escapes a conviction for murder. The emotionally shattering disgrace destroys his career and family life. As he veers toward alcoholic dependency, his wife demands a separation. With the help of his former Special Forces Commander in Afghanistan, Jeb Bronson, Book takes a job as a detective in Jefferson County, Virginia. Now retired, Bronson runs the county and heads up Ares Worldwide, a family-run military contracting corporation worth billions. Book soon discovers the rural area conceals threats every bit as deadly as the mean streets of the big city. As Book navigates his new life, figuring out who set him up and why is never far from his mind. From rural Virginia to Geneva Switzerland, Book finds himself drawn into an international web of murder and bribery and must fight to save his life, protect his family, and figure out the setup once and for all.

  • Tell the Story: A Hollywood Odyssey

    by Terrell Tannen

    As a highly paid screenwriter, Terrell Tannen lived the classic Hollywood lifestyle: the Porsche, oversized house, dinners, and parties. By most measures, he could be called wildly successful. Yet . . . script after script, written for the bona fide elites of the movie business, floundered for all the usual and unusual Hollywood reasons. Tell the Story: A Hollywood Odyssey offers a window into what it feels like to constantly flirt with fame. At times resembling a darkly comic film, it’s a very American tale, illustrative of the driving forces of hope and ambition in a place—Hollywood—where these desires burn like an inextinguishable neon sign, imploring and taunting at the same time. It also reminds us that, for all our dreams and ambitions, life has a way of writing its own script. Tell the Story is the story behind the story on screen, how it happens—and more often does not. A story for cinephiles, film enthusiasts, aspiring artists, romantics, wishers, dreamers . . . and all of us who just love an original tale.

  • The Hartford Atonement

    by Philip Barbara

    Famous Wall Street billionaire Emil Scordato hears a US congressman tell reporters after the funeral Mass for a student murdered in a school shooting: "What’s the difference between a cyanide pill and an assault weapon? You can’t get your hands on a cyanide pill." After visiting his grandson Jack, who lies fighting for his life in an ICU bed, Emil is approached by an anguished parent and asked: "Hey, Mr. Scordato! What are you going to do about keeping the kids in this town safe?" His grandson’s coma, the death of sixteen students, and these biting questions force Emil to realize how his profitable investments in firearm manufacturers may be as much responsible for the scourge of gun violence in America as poverty and mental illness. Longing to atone for his thoughtless pursuit of wealth and driven by a fusion of altruism and guilt, Scordato embarks on an unorthodox crusade for gun safety that risks his fortune in a bid to outflank a stalemated Congress. Textured with penetrating insights into gun violence in America, The Hartford Atonement sheds light on mass murders through the lens of one man’s unwavering pursuit of a solution.

  • The Fifteen Most Repeated Lies in Business Today: Falsehoods and Half-Truths Told by CEOs and Business Leaders (And How to Rephrase Them)

    by Neil P. McNulty

    Within the world of business and the emerging trends that surround it, many senior executives and business leaders have fallen into a pattern of repeating commonly used phrases and “truths,” often told halfheartedly, without fervor or full confidence. What business leaders say to headhunters in confidential conversations often reveals what they truly believe, and what they say is often at odds with what they and their companies advocate for publicly. What frequently begins as a noble aspiration for a company eventually evolves into an impossibility but is rarely admitted as such. The Fifteen Most Repeated Lies in Business Today is for anyone who desires to see through a corporate culture of illusion, for the college student seeking their first job after graduation, for military transitioning into civilian careers, and for anyone entering into or working their way through the business world. Along with exposing these corporate lies and half-truths of the executive culture for the ones who may be on the receiving end, this book also poses solutions for the executive, offering up honest alternatives to promote a trustworthy and healthy foundation for a business.

  • Failure Point

    by Doug Williams

    Is it possible to really know your spouse? Nick Faulkner is about to find out . . . if he can stay alive. Nick—a former FBI star whose career mysteriously tanked, returns home one day to find that his wife Lexi has walked out on him and simply vanished. Then, he discovers she’s part of a cult-like church. He doesn’t believe for a second she’s suddenly found religion but is convinced she’s been kidnapped. Nick recruits a band of similarly disgraced ex-agents to help him spring her from the cult’s heavily armed compound. He doesn’t know that powerful forces high in the US government and intelligence services are working to make sure that doesn’t happen. And that they’ll stop at nothing to prevent him from exposing the secrets lurking beyond the church gates. Including murder. As Nick works his way through the shadows of Lexi’s life and tries to sort out the hidden truth behind her disappearance, he tumbles into a sprawling web of deceit and lies thick with betrayal and shifting loyalties, where nothing is as it seems. His quest will bring him face-to-face with enemies foreign and domestic, including traitors, social media “truth tellers,” Russian spies, and well-armed mercenaries. And he’ll have to survive a vast conspiracy determined to keep him from learning the stunning truth about who Lexi really is. Or, perhaps even more shocking, who she isn’t.

  • Drop Me Around the Corner

    by Tracy Bouvier

    Imagine life is like a sitcom starring your eccentric, single father who can never get enough attention. His physical appearance turns people's heads. He wears a cheesy toupee and walks around the house naked. He has a handlebar mustache and sideburns dyed jet black, and he shows off his tanned, muscular physique by leaving his shirt unbuttoned down to his navel wherever he goes. His appearance and his off-colored jokes draw attention, but it’s his van that’s the real embarrassment in your life as a teen and young adult.  The van is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. It’s covered in brass ornaments and silver dollars, and it shines like gold, attracting stares and even media coverage. Even Vegas casinos covet having it parked at their entrances for patrons to ogle.  Tracy shares what it was like being raised by her ostentatious but loving father.  As she is left unsupervised and has to fend for herself in a series of life-threatening situations, life becomes an even more wild ride, where she is taken down a road we never expected.

  • The Forager Chefs Club

    by Rita Mace Walston

    Celeste Harp knows what they say about her and her free-spirited, hippie mother. She also knows no one on Mackinac Island can forage field and forest better than she can, creating meals that are talked about for months. But after two years, she’s still relegated to mundane duties in the kitchen of the prestigious hotel where she works. All that could change when she receives an invitation to a year-long cooking competition hosted by the enigmatic Forager Chefs Club. But after arriving at the Club and meeting her four competitors, Celeste realizes that her biggest competition may be her own self-doubt, even as she builds new relationships and discovers the underlying motivations—and secrets—the others are trying to hide. Filled with heart and sprinkled throughout with foraging and cooking tips, The Forager Chefs Club shows that where food comes from matters, and what comes out of the kitchen can feed more than just the body. From pristine forests and waterways to suburban backyards and reclaimed urban lots, The Forager Chefs Club celebrates nature’s bounty all around and the human spirit within.

  • The Bright Freight of Memory

    by Greg Fields

    “The years since have proven that, as if we needed proof of our failings and our flaws. They live within us and we cannot escape, no matter how hard we gloss them over or decorate them with glitter and streamers. In the end I believe our faults define us more than our virtues. Shakespeare’s greatest plays, the tragedies, revolved around their heroes’ flaws rather than their glories.” Matthew Cooney and Donal Mannion shared their time as boys in a rundown neighborhood, without fathers, without comfort, without a sense of tomorrow, then went their separate ways, one to chase the trappings of maturity, the other to the streets. Their days shrouded in boredom, their nights filled with the thrill of the chase, each sought his place and his purpose. Within their struggles are the challenges of escape, of outrunning the roll of the dice that placed them where they are, and, in the end, of defining what it means to be alive, to constantly strive for the things that are just out of reach.
