Rise: Birth of a Revolution (The Ricchan Chronicles Book 1) by Mark Moore 4.4 Stars (102 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

A fragile peace teeters on the brink of collapse; new players threaten the colonial world order in this award-winning debut historical fantasy novel. Damien Flynn is going to die. And it's going to happen because he finally stood up for what's right. After years of observing and taking part in the enduring corruption and oppression of the Ricchan people, Damien Flynn's conscience wakes. He pushes for the Ricchan right to a vote, for control of their own destiny. He soon learns that bleeding hearts don't make for good politics, exchanging quills for shackles. Former friends and colleagues sentence Damien Flynn to death for treason. With time running out, Damien Flynn only has one chance, one opportunity for survival, and it comes from one of the most unlikely sources. Victoria Montgomery, the reluctant leader of an army composed of little more than ragtag criminals and vagrants, must make a change. And in Damien, she sees the catalyst to bring about the full-scale rebellion her people need to flourish. He is the key to bringing about a legitimate revolution that may have the strength to succeed where past attempts have failed. All she need do is gamble on the unknown, gamble on the strength of Damien's morals and convictions and hope that she's judged him well, less the entire rebellion is forfeit. Victoria and Damien must unite to save Riccha from Braiton's control. In order for this revolution to succeed, these two seemingly unlikely partners must believe in each other. A tough task when they barely even believe in themselves. Amidst the horrors of war, the cruelties of betrayal, and the unleashed wrath of long-held grievances, the righteousness and convictions of humanity will be tested like never before. Will the courage and resilience of the oppressed be enough to overcome the tyranny of their oppressors?

Boxes of Time: Stories by Jack Matthews 3.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 27 minutes ago

Stories about messy emotions, troubled families and damaged personalities. 11th Story Collection. Over his lifetime Jack Matthews (1925-2013) wrote over 200 stories, many of which were published in literary journals. Although stories varied widely in subject and style, they often could be described as urbane, philosophical, poetic and sardonic. Stories in Boxes of Time were mostly published between 1961 and 1981; they feature characters who are troubled or unsure of themselves trying to deal with life's usual disappointments. Stylistically, these stories are polished and carefully written, but they deal with messy emotions, troubled families and damaged personalities. The characters may not be as educated or self-assured as the people in his other collections, but they still manage to figure out interesting things about themselves and the people around them. Stories from this period focus especially on the emotional stresses that separate parents from their children. This ebook contains 24 stories by Jack Matthews which have never been collected, making it the author's largest story collection. Matthews picked "Boxes of Time" as the title for this collection because each story reveals the drama of worlds long since gone but whose dreams and fears and anxieties still resonate today.

The Far Side of Paradise: A Biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald by Arthur Mizener 4.1 Stars (109 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

The seminal biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Far Side of Paradise was the first ever biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald, widely acclaimed as a sensitive, scholarly appraisal of the writer's life and work. With this revised edition, updated to include new information that has since surfaced, Arthur Mizener has created a definitive portrait of Fitzgerald - the man, his work, and his exciting, globe-trotting life. He explores his childhood and formative years at Princeton University, as well as his chaotic marriage to Zelda Sayre and the years they spent in Paris together with writers and artists like Hemingway and Picasso. After becoming a chronicler of the 'flapper age' in the 1920s, Fitzgerald struggled with alcoholism and despair following his wife's diagnosis as a schizophrenic. In this fascinating biography, Mizener delves into the elements of Fitzgerald's own life that influenced The Great Gatsby, as well as his other acclaimed novels. Fans of F. Scott Fitzgerald will find this an illuminating and revealing look into the man behind the books. Praise for The Far Side of Paradise: 'He tells it in an easy style throughout... it is the story of a highly gifted man who ruined himself by pursuing false ideals, who set out to redeem himself by patient effort and who had almost succeeded when he died -- not of drinking, but of overwork, Fitzgerald's books are better known today than they were in his time, but his life as Mizener presents it is even more impressive than his fiction' - Malcolm Cowley 'So intriguing and his story so fascinating in itself that you are likely to overlook the skill required for an adequate presentment of him. Mizener's presentment has a delusive air of simplicity. But that is a measure of the discretion and sobriety of the biographer and the rigor with which he has subordinated the author of the book to its subject' - Yale Review 'Timely, scholarly, but never dull' - New York Times Arthur Mizener was a professor ...

The innocent victims who become his clients are often unnerved by him----while their victimizers are left seriously damaged or dead. Years ago, during his stint in the police department, Martello experienced an epiphany---best summarized by Tillich: "Every institution is inherently demonic." Seeing corruption and sadism among the police and the whole criminal justice system---he resigned from the force to carry on a personal crusade. He is a rebel---and he will be at odds with the authorities every step of the way. But his work pits him against the criminal class as well. On a case in Key West, he crosses paths with a flaming redhead named Angelique who comes very close to taking his life. Angelique, the Island Girl, will become Martello's chief antagonist from that point forward. Both are hunters and quarry to one another. He sees her as an enemy he must track down and destroy, while she regards him as the evil genius who upsets her plans----regretting that she didn't kill him when she had her chance.

The Haunting of Kinnawe House by Steven Rigolosi (Black Rose Writing) 4.2 Stars (200 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

The Haunting of Kinnawe House is a ghost story that spans two eras in American history. Matthew Rollins, an aspiring singer/songwriter, takes a job as caretaker of Kinnawe House in Agamenticus, Maine. The haunting begins immediately upon Matthew's arrival, when the ghost of his mother appears. Threatening, ghostly strangers stalk the property. The cellar is filled with mysterious, foul-smelling casks. And with each day, Matthew's insomnia gets worse. The story alternates between the present, as Matthew struggles with failing health and increasingly violent hallucinations, and the 1740s, as a dark preacher populates his town with a community willing to sell their souls for a comfortable life. Past and present come together as Matthew learns, little by little, of his family's ties to Kinnawe House -- and why the house will not rest until Matthew has taken his own life. Destined to become a classic of the haunted-house genre, The Haunting of Kinnawe House traces the destruction wrought by the preacher, Parthalán Kinnawe, over multiple generations. It also tells the story of a haunted young man who learns that, at his weakest, he is also at his strongest.

Eric Eules is in trouble -- always. The sixth-grade graduate has a big problem -- and it isn't just that Woodland Hills neighborhood guru Burnout pushes him down a hippie path he can't possibly travel. Eric's problem is that he's at war with nearly every woman in his life at the very moment he has grown to desire nothing more than the love of one girl. That is, his mother assigns him never-ending chores, his aunt taunts him as a male chauvinist piglet, and his sisters protest his frequent tinkling on the toilet seat. Most of all, he must face down classmate and nemesis Skinnydip -- who stands between Eric and the new girl to the neighborhood, the beautiful Lori Bloom. The Trouble with Girls in an exciting coming of age story in which a growing boy first perceives how the true desire of his heart is something -- someone -- greater than playing baseball and riding bikes with his boyhood friends. Set in an Indiana suburb during the summer of 1972 -- a year of tumult and change in how men and women saw each other -- the clumsy and awkward twelve-year-old boy must navigate the perils of his own home and neighborhood. Maddened by first love, he must complete a series of Herculean labors to win the heart of she who now matters most to him.

See how boys scrounged for spending cash in old-fashioned families quick to provide love and discipline to their children, but slower yet to indulge mere boys anything more than food, clothing, and shelter. Still, The Trouble with Girls is far more ...

When you're covered in mud, running from men with guns, and stuck in small spaces with very little clothing on, it's amazing what you can learn about a person. Steven Quintana was once a top Army Ranger reconnaissance photographer until he made a fatal mistake on a mission. A boy was killed, and Steven's military career was cut short -- all because of a photo he took. Now he works as a paparazzo in Hollywood where his photos can't hurt anybody, the money is easy, and he can forget the past. But when mega movie star Julia Travers is kidnapped, Steven discovers the kidnappers used photos he took to cover up the crime. Realizing that he's still harming people with his camera, he swears to fix his mistake, Rambo-style. But -- life or death situation or not -- the last person Julia wants coming to her rescue is the paparazzo whose photos got her into trouble in the first place. THE PICTURE KILLS is a fun, fresh, sexy, snappy, fast-paced thriller that starts in celebrity-obsessed Hollywood and climaxes in the exotic and remote cays of the Bahamas. Excerpt: "Run, Julia!" someone shouts. Julia bolts across the patio with her white robe flapping, swim fins in one hand and a canvas bag in the other. She slows to pick up the French Smoker's gun and then leaps over the first wall. I feel a bullet whizz past my cheek and then hear the gun-shot. I jump over the wall as more shots ring out. People shout as I disappear into the trees. I have to move fast, both to escape Caballero and his friends but to also catch Julia. The shouting continues for a bit and then stops, but I hear enough branches cracking and electronic chirps to know that four men are behind me. I keep searching for Julia while evading them. I notice a flash of white and head for it, and find her robe stuck in a tree. Smart girl, I think. I toss it in the high grass so they can't find it. Her trail is easy to find now. I pause every hundred yards and wait until I hear a small thud or crack in ...

I chase tornadoes -- literally. And being a female scientist in my field means I need to be on my game at all times. Unshakable. Serious. Yes, even a little bitchy. The last thing I expect is a hot, intense biker like Archer West blazing into town and wanting a wild and reckless fling withme. Thanks to my not-so-squeaky past, I can't afford any missteps at this point in my career. Translation: I have to keep the hell away from charming, dirty-talking, bad boy rebels like him. Not just because he's an irresistible temptation, but also because he's the estranged brother of a colleague. Unfortunately, it becomes abundantly clear the stubborn man has no intention of giving up, even if that means following me right into the eye of a storm. And while he may just be the only human on earth who seems to get me, he's also the only one capable of making me lose control. I'm not actually sure which terrifies me more... or what'll break me first. New 2020 edition! NOTE: This is a standalone novel starring Archer, the brother of Dean West from the Spiral Trilogy.

But these are the citizens of his kingdom. As the establishment has fallen onto hard times and will have to close its doors soon, "King" Roy and "Queen" LeeAnn buy the nursing home, since Roy believes it to be his ancestral family castle, it having been constructed to resemble an old English castle. While trying to learn how the finances have fallen into such hard times, Roy discovers that someone has been pilfering funds and so dons his detective hat and enlists the help of LeeAnn and their grandchildren to solve the case of: The Missing Funds. During his investigation and "rule", he promotes various residents to unprecedented positions: royal secretary, royal press secretary, assistants to the royal court jester, royal gardeners and knights. He refers to the staff by titles such as: royal butler, royal housekeeper, and royal taste-tester, even calling the distinguished Chief of Staff simply by his sir name of Burke, believing him to be the head butler. The guards and orderlies are knights, while the doctors are dubbed titles of nobility: Duke, Duchess, and Viscount. Friends and families of the residents are referred to as visiting dignitaries.

Valerie is a mature, energetic, and resourceful woman, with an independent lifestyle her work as a technical writer facilitates. She is a woman who has seen a lot, loved a lot, and cried a lot. As a single woman raising her daughter, she'd had a difficult, long-term relationship, and one Valerie fought hard to put behind her. That man had a hold on her that became a lifelong obsession for both of them. For her in particular, it was quite the rocky road. Try as she might, she was never able to balance the scales. Did all the good times with him outweigh the bad, or was it the reverse? Had he ever intended to give her the life he'd promised her for decades? It was so vitally important to her to be able to give her daughter the life Valerie believed she deserved, with a mother and a father, perhaps a sibling or two, and maybe even a house they could call their own. After many disappointments, Valerie had put that man aside for a while, and filled her life with other highly rewarding experiences with family and friends. Ultimately, however, she couldn't stay away from him. It wasn't until she crossed paths with a man unlike any she'd ever imagined she'd meet that Valerie was finally able to see what she'd been missing for so long. It was love, the way it was supposed to be, not the way she'd experienced it for so long.

In the follow up to "Hard Favored Rage," a new group of law enforcement officers struggle to survive. Can a group of unprepared cops help a small county just outside of Los Angeles survive the total collapse of society devastated by an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP)?

The Merrow of Lake Michigan by Claire O. Fahey 4.5 Stars (260 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

Joey Fagan is certain of only two things. The mayor of Chicago will be assassinated at the end of the week, and she is stuck in the year 1893. What she doesn't know is how she landed 100 years back in time, or why Peter Hastings, the man trying to help her, shares some eerie similarities to her dead husband. When Joey, perhaps unwisely, revealed the year of her origins it didn't sit well with her host. Her effort to convince him by predicting the mayor's murder only made matters worse. Now her sanity is in question, and everything she does puts it further into doubt. One of the few bright spots in the whole situation is William, Peter's five year-old son, but he is a stark reminder that she left a son of her own back in 1993. Stuck in the past and desperate to return to her own Chicago, Joey stumbles her way through a time when women had a barely-audible voice, and very few options. Armed with nothing but her wits, Joey must navigate the rigid waters of the Victorian era while she tries to prevent a murder and find her way home.
