- New York Brain by Kew Stapleton
About New York Brain by Kew Stapleton:
Brooklyn’s Stansfield Kaplan–rich, handsome, twenty-one–makes the gossip, sports, and op-ed pages on a regular basis. Multitasking is his basic M.O.: he started his city council campaign while in college, and now, with school over and the race in full swing, the former High School Athlete of the Week signs up to fight in the Golden Gloves. Few are surprised when Stan wins both council seat and tourney–but when he decides to turn pro to fund his district, the anti-Kaplans on the council swing into action. When their investigations inch closer to his debut at the Garden, his foes smell blood just as surely as the big bruiser in the other corner does. The cast includes a funky array of pols, writers, fighters, and the hero’s adoring fan base. The Kaplan inner circle is stocked with outsized personalities, from Stan’s media-savvy mom to the trainer and political advisor who can’t avoid butting heads. It’s a love song to old records, classic films, and to New York itself. This version of the Big Apple is a place where wisecracking waitresses staff all-night diners, everyone reads the papers, the Towers stand tall, and celebrities rule.

About Awaken (Fated Saga Fantasy Series Book 1) by Rachel D’aigle
Free Kindle Book!
Summer fun is coming! And other than turning thirteen, twins, Meghan and Colin Jacoby, are looking forward to a typical summer… well, typical for them. Which means their uncle (and guardian) will pull into the Cobbscott Campground and park his travel trailer for the entire summer.
Normally, they’d never spend more than a couple weeks in any one place, their uncle preferring to move around. But only until summer when they’d be Cobbscott bound. Why did he do this every summer? Why did he prefer to move around? The twins have never thought to ask.
Their only concern being that their friend Sebastien would be in Cobbscott as well… the one person who also happens to know their secret- that they can read each other’s minds.
Arrival at the campground goes as expected and within hours, Meghan and Colin are already making plans to meet up with Sebastien. But before they do, the campground gets some unexpected visitors.Visitors with reserved campsites. Sites that have been reserved, but unused, for years.
The twins always wondered who reserved and never used these campsites and now that they have seen the owners, the twins can’t help but get an ominous feeling.
These visitors dress strange and act strange, taking hikes into the woods wearing wing tip shoes and overcoats, disappearing into things clearly too small to fit so many people, and they never stop peering into the sky as if expecting to see something terrible.
And when unexplainable and frightening events follow their arrival, the twins start to realize that this summer, will be their least typical of all…

- Star Chamber Brotherhood
About Star Chamber Brotherhood:The second book in the Kamas Trilogy begins five years after the Kamas revolt. A Kamas survivor who returns to Boston is ordered by the prisoners’ covert Star Committee to kill the commandant who crushed the revolt.
Boston. 2029. Five years after the Kamas revolt.
Frank Werner, a Boston businessman arrested for dissident political activity, has survived a brutal government assault on a mutinous corrective labor camp in Kamas, Utah, and a year at hard labor in a remote Yukon tungsten mine. He gains amnesty during a brief political thaw and returns to Boston illegally in search of his only surviving daughter, Marie.
No sooner does Werner gain a foothold in Boston as a bootlegger-bartender and move in with a lovely widowed pediatrician than his new life begins to unravel. A former Kamas rebel leader who twice saved his life assigns him a mission by authority of the prisoners’ covert Star Committee. The objective: to execute the warden who quelled the Kamas revolt five years before.
Werner, now nearly sixty, accepts the assignment reluctantly and recruits four trusted friends for his team. Each has a dark past and a different reason for joining the conspiracy. But the mission goes awry twice. After the second failed attempt on the former warden, who has been reassigned to Boston, each of the other team members is killed or leaves the field. Left alone, Werner resolves to complete the operation on his own. Before he can follow through, however, his missing daughter suddenly reappears. Now, by attacking, he risks any chance he might have of rejoining her.
Star Chamber Brotherhood offers unforgettable characters, rapidly mounting suspense and a richly imagined vision of an America gone terribly wrong. With his distinctive understated prose, Preston Fleming manages to evoke strong emotions and force wrenching choices in a new book that more than fulfills the promise of his debut novel, Forty Days at Kamas.

- Beverly Hills is Burning by Neil Russell
About Beverly Hills is Burning by Neil Russell:“It was just after midnight when the girl in the blue diamond necklace fell out of the sky.”
In Hollywood, an ex-con movie producer, fresh out of San Quentin, is lucky if he can get a valet to take his car at The Ivy. Teddy Chessman got his own studio.
Why? Because Teddy controls the most important motion picture property to hit town since agents were invented. And attached to this expected critical and financial bonanza is the biggest female action star in the world, Valentine Jones.
But good plans die horrible deaths, and foolproof ones, worse. And now, the guy who loaned Teddy the money to buy the joint–Rail Black, a former Delta Force operator with a private fortune–is forced to take possession of Teddy’s dream. And the bad news is just beginning.
Exploding from ninety years in the past–when gangsters and movie tycoons roamed Hollywood and scratched each other’s wallets–Rail is sucked into a quicksand of unsettled scores, duplicity and death, where a couple of billion dollars in boxoffice seems like small change.
From Southern California to New York, Venice, Havana, Mexico and Cyprus, Rail must disentangle the past from the present and come to terms with his feelings for Barrie Fontaine, a long dead woman–and extraordinarily brave pilot–he has never met.
And somewhere, out there, is Matty Aspirins, a hitman on a mission all his own.
Welcome to Beverly Hills is Burning.
There will be no intermission.
“Neil Russell is the king of adventure thrillers… BEVERLY HILLS IS BURNING is a tour-de-force of hot action, cool suspense, and steamy sex. …a once-in-a-lifetime ride with producers, screenwriters, Mafia hitmen, and money. Lots of money. You’ll love this book.”
Gayle Lynds
New York Times Bestselling Author
The Book of Spies
“I just want to tell you what a joy it was to dig into BEVERLY HILLS IS BURNING. I loved the way the two plot lines dovetailed so effortlessly. Your knowledge of old Hollywood made my favorite era in the town come to life.
I laughed out loud so many times, I couldn’t keep count! Your dialogue so reminds me of Raymond Chandler. I felt he was your “ghost.” Every time I came across one of your many metaphorical gems, I had to post it on Facebook.
I’ve got you up there as one of my five favorite writers (including Chandler, as you already know); toss in F.Scott, Le Carre, and Martin Cruz Smith, and there you have my perfect poker game.
And either you or Chandler would be winner take all, no doubt about it.
Seriously, you are my new fave regarding dialogue. Smooth as butter, true to character, no matter the gender, personality, or the time period. You had me at the very first line–and kept me until the last word.
Just hope you’re working on the next in the series.”
