Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever been almost-beheaded by a snow-plow? Turned into an undead by a homeless vampire? Cheated and betrayed by your lying sack of s**t husband? Welcome to my life… or, more correctly, my crazy after-life. To everyone behind the gates of our wealthy community in Charming, Mississippi, my husband and I were the Joneses everyone tried to keep up with. A beautiful house, the perfect gated community, two gorgeous kids, and a supposedly flawless marriage. Until I came home and caught him rolling around in our bed, hip-deep in my best friend. Which led to the aforementioned snow plow incident. I woke up with a fear of the sun and a propensity for drinking blood. Or in laymen’s terms, a vampire. I thought vampires were supposed to be hot and irresistible. But my Maker smells like he just stepped out of a sewer and he has the appeal of a turd in a punch bowl. But you know how life is as one of the Joneses...gotta keep up. Keep up appearances, that is. I’ve swapped my Triple, Venti, Sugar-Free, Non-Fat Caramel Macchiato for a stainless steel rambler that keeps my O-Negative at the perfect room temperature. I can still manage the carpool lane, with the right sunglasses to hide my crazy eyes. But between daytime soccer games, a missing college student who might have been a vampire kill, trying not to drain my soon-to-be-ex-husband, and keeping my neighbors in the dark, I’m shaking in my Jimmy Choos. I'm not sure I can do this. My name is Rachel Jones, and I’m the vampire housewife Keywords: Charlaine Harris, Karen Marie Moning, Nora Roberts, JR Ward, Deanna Chase, Donna Grant, Nalini Singh, Deborah Harkness, Yasmine Galenorn, Heather Long, Gina Showalter, Larissa Ione, Patricia Biggs, Rebecca Zanetti, Faith Hunter, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Lynsay Sands, Ilona Andrews, Sarah J Maas

Between my guilt of imposing financial ruin on my ex (which was totally justified!) and my desire to be able to take care of my children, I have now joined forces with a private investigator. The upside: It pays a hell of a lot. Plus it’s night shift! The downside: I now see the ugly side of our small town of Charming, Mississippi. We all wear masks and we all have secrets. And now I’m about to discover my Maker Khalan’s biggest one. It’s enough to make a vampire cry. That is, if I had time for the nervous breakdown I so rightly deserve. In the meantime I will rise to the occasion, drink my blood and be the best damn vampire/ soccer mom/ photographer I can be. I am Rachel Jones. And I’m the vampire housewife.

Book excerpt: Does he deserve a second chance with the woman he once loved but failed to protect? Werewolf Jayden Parker tried to leave his personal demons behind. New town. New Pack. And as far away from memories of the beautiful Haley Guthrie as he can get. But Fate twists and turns in unexpected ways when Jayden’s alpha orders him to protect an unknown woman in mortal danger. She is under Pack protection—and being hunted by a deadly enemy. Haley never wanted to see Jayden Parker again. Not his eyes. Not his smile. Not one inch of him. The fact that he’s the one the Pack sent to protect her forces her to face a past that has haunted her every day since Jayden walked away. Memories of their undeniable passion torment her needy body even as every moment she spends with him reinforces the walls around her heart. Danger stalks their every move. But Jayden is a guardian. A werewolf. Haley knows Jayden would lay down his life to save her own…but what will he sacrifice to heal her broken heart?

Book excerpt: Lucien needs nothing and no one...until he meets her. Werewolves are disappearing and it’s up to Pack Guardian Lucien Sauvage to track them down and eliminate any future threat. When the trail leads to a gentlemen’s club—and the beautiful Catty Steele—Lucien realizes asking the suspicious dancer for help might be his only hope, if he can resist the temptation to touch her long enough to earn her trust. Catty Steele has no reason to trust any man, let alone an alpha werewolf who's used to giving orders. The only thing she wants is out. Out of this club. Out of this town. Out of this go-nowhere life. Unfortunately, the club's owner has no intention of letting her go. But when Lucien asks for her help, she can't say no, despite the risk. She'll help him, if he can keep their alliance a secret, and as long as he understands that working with him doesn’t mean she has any intention of allowing the smoking hot, brooding werewolf to boss her around. And she absolutely has no intention of inviting him into her bed.

When the bakery she’s been selling her cakes to, suddenly gives her a raise with a request for more cakes. Things are looking up…or so she thinks. Werewolf Assassin, Killian, hasn’t gotten off to a good start with his new Pack Master of Louisiana, Barrett Middleton. Within an hour of the first official meeting, Killian manages to say the wrong thing, and unwittingly flirt with the wife of the Pack Master. When Barrett gives him an assignment to investigate drug trafficking Mississippi, instead of a target to kill, Killian fears his days as an Assassin are over. He’s determined to singlehandedly show Barrett what an asset he is to the Pack so he can keep his highly coveted position. The deeper he digs, realizes that beautiful Lilliana knows more about the drug situation than she realizes.

Accused of a murder he didn’t commit, he is forced to flee Pack Law, and the death sentence waiting for him. On the run from deadly assassins, he is nearly out of their reach when an assassin’s bullet hits its mark. Wounded, in pain, his wolf seeks shelter in the form of an unsuspecting and very beautiful woman. Kate Wolph is busy trying to keep her Bed and Breakfast from going into foreclosure. The last thing she needs is an injured wild animal to care for. When that bleeding wolf transforms into a gorgeous man with blank eyes and a deadly smile, she should be terrified, not intrigued. Thrust suddenly into the supernatural world that surrounds him, Kate doesn’t know what to believe or who to trust. But the heat in Braxton’s kiss makes thinking all too difficult. And turning him away? Impossible. Braxton has a reason to stay and fight, to uncover the truth. Kate is his reason now, and he’ll stop at nothing to protect her…even if it means hunting a killer.

Being on the run with a dark and powerful stranger will push Ava so far she might never recover. And this wild, needy thing stirring to life inside her? With the entire werewolf pack hunting them, there is nothing Damon can do now but keep her close...and let their passion burn. keywords: paranormal romance series, werewolves and shifters, urban fantasy, epic fantasy, Christine Feehan, JR Ward, Nora Roberts, Lee Savino, Milly Taiden, Karen Marie Moning, Donna Grant, Lora Leigh, Ilona Andrews,

That’s fine and dandy until Werewolf Jack comes along. I can't help the way my body reacts to him. Unfortunately, Khalan, my Maker, isn’t as impressed with Jack as I am. When I agreed to sign up for a dating event to try to find my soul mate, I’m afraid I got more than I bargained for: danger, dating and divorce. The perfect combination for a disaster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024, internationally bestselling author and literary icon Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies is "beautiful, heartbreaking and alive ... a lyrical work of historical fiction based on the story of the Mirabal sisters, revolutionary heroes who had opposed and fought against Trujillo." (Concepción de León, New York Times) Alvarez’s new novel, The Cemetery of Untold Stories, is coming April 2, 2024. Pre-order now! It is November 25, 1960, and three beautiful sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150-foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The official state newspaper reports their deaths as accidental. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo’s dictatorship. It doesn’t have to. Everybody knows of Las Mariposas—the Butterflies. In this extraordinary novel, the voices of all four sisters--Minerva, Patria, María Teresa, and the survivor, Dedé--speak across the decades to tell their own stories, from secret crushes to gunrunning, and to describe the everyday horrors of life under Trujillo’s rule. Through the art and magic of Julia Alvarez’s imagination, the martyred Butterflies live again in this novel of courage and love, and the human costs of political oppression. "Alvarez helped blaze the trail for Latina authors to break into the literary mainstream, with novels like In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents winning praise from critics and gracing best-seller lists across the Americas."—Francisco Cantú, The New York Times Book Review "This Julia Alvarez classic is a must-read for anyone of Latinx descent." —Popsugar.com "A gorgeous and sensitive novel . . . A compelling story of courage, patriotism and familial devotion." —People "Shimmering . . . Valuable and necessary." —Los Angeles Times "A magnificent treasure for all cultures and all time.” —St. Petersburg Times "Alvarez does a remarkable job illustrating the ruinous effect the 30-year dictatorship had on the Dominican Republic and the very real human cost it entailed."—Cosmopolitan.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Jonathan Lethem put, Steve Erickson's journal of the last 18 months of the Trump Presidency "sears the page." Erickson, one of our finest novelists, has long been an astute political observer, and American Stutter, part political declaration, part humorous account of more personal matters, offers a particularly moving reminder of the democratic ideals that we are currently struggling to preserve. Written with wit, eloquence, and a controlled fury as event unfold, Erickson has left us with an essential record of our recent history, a book to be read with our collective breath held.* Steve Erickson is the author of ten novels and two books about American culture. For 12 years he was founding editor of the national literary journal Black Clock. Currently he is the film/television critic for Los Angeles magazine and a Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Riverside. He has received a Guggenheim fellowship, the American Academy of Arts and Letters award, and the Lannan Lifetime Achievement award.

Book excerpt: The e-mail Danny and Allison read on their new computer in 1996 looks no different from the millions of others received by Web users around the world, with one glaring exception--it was sent by their dads who died during the 1970s. While residing in the afterworld at an amenity-laden paradise called Midway Manor, guitar-strumming Mickey Parks and piano-playing Lloyd Wallace monitor and manipulate the lives of their adult children on earth from the mid-'70s through the 1990s. Tampering with the facility's sophisticated computer, the dads thrust Mickey's daughter Allison and Lloyd's son Danny into a passionate but sometimes stormy relationship-a relationship steeped in Danny's heavy drinking and entangled in the often-zany world of men's adventure magazine publishing. After carefully implementing a plan to send their son and daughter a gift of knowledge that could enrich their lives forever, the dads' brief contact is cut short. They are banished to another destination in the afterworld, but not before they impart indisputable proof of life after death--and unwittingly put Danny's and Allison's earthbound lives on the line.
