2. The Coolest Way to Kill Yourself

   About The Coolest Way to Kill Yourself:

   Okay. So no one actually kills themselves in this book.

   The Coolest Way to Kill Yourself pulls you into the early 90′s New York City rave scene, in all its chaotic, psychedelic glory. The narrator grabs you by your wrist and drags you behind two teenage lovers from New Jersey as they tumble through a whirlwind of reckless hedonism that eventually spirals into a dark, devastating world of drug addiction and heartbreak. As a teenager, Lynn cried, “No one is ever going to write something for me.”

   Nearly two decades later, in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Nicholas did just that. The gesture came too late for our unlikely heroine, but his heart was in the right place. A broken heart… but a true love. Reunited after years apart, Lynn and Nicholas embraced their love and sexuality, and embraced each other, despite troubled pasts, despite illness, despite all of their imperfections and mistakes. They shared the kind of honest and shameless connection that few have had the honor of knowing, and most would naver understand.

   “We’re not hurting anyone. We’re just living life without caring what anyone thinks about us.”

   “It’s the coolest way to kill ourselves,” Lynn said.

   So turn the page, and pull the trigger.

   What some people are saying…

   “I used to think that I was a fairly liberal and open-minded person. But this world is truly a world outside my comprehension and comfort zone.” – my sister-in-law.

   “This will never be published.” – my ex-wife.

   “Are you crazy? I can’t believe you are publishing this.” – most of my friends.

   “I love the fact that you are publishing this.” – most of my cool friends.

   “You have disgraced me.” – my mother.

   “Why is your mother so angry about your book? Make sure you shovel the snow from the driveway.” – my father.

5. Behind Closed Doors by JJ Marsh

   

   About Behind Closed Doors by JJ Marsh

   Suicide – the act of taking one’s own life.
   Homicide – the act of taking someone else’s.

   An unethical banker suffocates. A diamond dealer slits his wrists. A media magnate freezes in the snow. A disgraced CEO inhales exhaust fumes. Four unpopular businessmen, four apparent suicides. Until Interpol find the same DNA at each death.

   Beatrice Stubbs, on her first real case since ‘the incident’, arrives in Switzerland to lead the investigation. But there’s more to Zurich than chocolate and charm. Potential suspects are everywhere, her Swiss counterpart is hostile and the secretive world of international finance seems beyond the law. Battling impossible odds by day and her own demons at night, Beatrice has never felt so alone.

   She isn’t. Someone’s watching.
   Someone else who believes in justice.
   The poetic kind.

6. Who Killed ‘Tom Jones’?

   About Who Killed ‘Tom Jones’?:
   Ellie Overton is a 28-year-old rest home receptionist with a pussycat nose who also happens to be gaga for the pop singer Tom Jones. Regrettably single, she is desperate to have a white-hot love relationship, like those she’s read about in romance novels. Following an astrological hunch, she attends a Tom Jones Festival and meets an available young impersonator with more looks and personality than talent. Though he’s knocked out of the contest, he’s still in the running to become Ellie’s blue-eyed soul mate—until he’s accused of killing off the competition. It’s not unusual that the handsome police detective working the case is spending more time pursuing Ellie than collaring suspects. So, she enlists some wily and witty rest home residents to help find the real murderer. Will Ellie crack the case? Must she forfeit her best chance for lasting love to solve the crime?

   Author Bio:
   I’ve published three novels, DON JUAN IN HANKEY, PA; GRACE UNEXPECTED; and WHO KILLED ‘TOM JONES’? — all humorous contemporary fiction available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com and iTunes.

   I also blog about opera (the art form, not the platform) and review live opera as often as I can. I’d commit a misdemeanor to score some Babybel cheese and go weak-kneed for hummingbirds.

   Underneath all the greasepaint and glitter, I am a wife, a mother of one, and a full-time marketing director, who owes the continued use of her bendable body parts to the wonderful Curves fitness salon in Ephrata, Pennsylvania.

   One of my earliest writing teachers said, “Words are stones. Feel the weight of them.” That stayed with me, guiding my editing and revision, more than any other single piece of writing advice.

9. When We Were Married – Volume 1 -The Long Fall by Daniel Quentin Steele

   

   About When We Were Married – Volume 1 -The Long Fall by Daniel Quentin Steele

   FEB. 13,2014 ON – WHEN WE WERE MARRIED – AN 800 PAGE 220,000 word Twisted Valentine Epic on Amazon for $2.99 of lost love, hot lust, very explicit, dirty sex, murder, mayhem, cheating, emotional affairs, sexual affairs, courtroom duels, international drug cartels, deadly assassins, pyschiatrists, fractured families, everyday heroes, cops, lawyers, crooks and thugs in sunny Jacksonville, Florida. Not to mention two of the largest pair of breasts in Northeast Florida.

   In addition to love, lust, crime and punishment, this is novel that tells you who REALLY runs the criminal justice system. The novel’s hero, a short, fat, balding, hero who can’t do it for his wife Debbie in bed anymore, William Maitland, knows and tells all:

   “That’s what most people don’t understand. The people with real power aren’t cops. They just investigate and arrest. The people with real power aren’t judges. They have a lot of power, but who they see and what charges they deliberate on don’t come from them. I decide that. In my hands is the power to decide who is arrested and who is released; who faces death or 25 years or who gets mercy. And there really is no oversight, nobody looking over my shoulder.
   Cops can bitch, but my decisions are final. Judges can bitch and threaten to take action, but they never do. The only person with any real power is the Big Man, and he had given me the Keys to the Kingdom and he had never in five years countermanded any decision I’d made.”

   Follow the loves, hates, affairs and blazing sexual encounters behind closed doors that are a part of the court system in Jacksonville. Because, as one Public Defender notes, “every courthouse is just a little Peyton Place.”

   Against all odds as his personal world collapses in flames, , Maitland continues to stand aganst evil armed only with a superb legal mind, the powers of the prosecutor’s office, bulldog stubbornness and a compulsion to do the right thing no matter what the cost. And a basic decency that gives him surprising allies from the Florida underworld to a Colombian crime cartel.

   And in the wake of a bitter divorce, Debbie Maitland-Bascomb will dump Maitland for a gorgeous young stud, but will find that beauty is not a shield against pain and loneliness, and that it is harder to walk away from Maitland than she expected it to be.
