Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exceptionally brilliant, masterful and rewarding – and here it is from the mighty pen of novelist Jack Engelhard, the highs and lows, warts and all of making it as a writer. Here the sweetness of success is given its proper place, as are the moments of failure and despair, and you will never forget the refrain, especially if you’re a writer, “Nobody cares.” Engelhard opens the door into the world of New York publishing with equal access into the world of gambling and casinos. Slot Attendant is a triumph, and an absolute must-read. Praise Received for Slot Attendant “Jack Engelhard combines personal experience, the experience of others, and a truly vivid, thoroughly grounded imagination to paint this compelling portrait of a novelist. For a quick, brisk read brimming with pathos and dignity, humor and mystery, hope and despair, love and lust, corporate autocracy and little guys who won’t knuckle under....you don’t want to miss Slot Attendant.” - John W. Cassell, author of Crossroads: 1969 “Engelhard takes you on a literary cruise. Truly the author of this era.” - Len J. Jones, Amazon reviewer “Slot Attendant is a page turner. You won't be able to put it down. It is such a fantastic read that I wonder, can any reviewer ever do it justice?” - Gisela Hausmann, author and blogger “With his usual energetic ease of edgy, efficient expression, Engelhard’s Slot Attendant provides an electrifying, edifying, and entertaining read.” - Linda G. Shelnutt, mystery novelist About the Author Contemporaries have hailed novelist Jack Engelhard as “the last Hemingway” and of being “a writer without peer and the conscience of us all.” The New York Times commended the economy of his prose… “precise, almost clinical language.” His bestselling novel Indecent Proposal made him internationally famous as the foremost chronicler of moral dilemmas and of topics dealing with temptation. Works that followed won him an even greater following, such as Escape From Mount Moriah, his book of memoirs that won awards for writing and for film. His latest novel Compulsive draws us into the mind of a compulsive gambler in a work stunningly brilliant and original, and seductively readable. Engelhard writes a weekly column for The Washington Times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling novelist Jack Engelhard (Indecent Proposal) has produced a heroic work of literature. This is a superb, gutsy novel. The Bathsheba Deadline is a newsroom thriller ripped from the headlines. The present day action takes place in a Manhattan newsroom where three leading journalists find themselves caught in a sizzling three-way love triangle that may lead to murder in the Middle East (Israel). You will never forget Jay Garfield and you absolutely will never forget Lyla. Politics and sex mixed in with the war on terror provoke life-and-death rifts within the editorial staff. Journalists with the power to influence public opinion have lost their neutrality and have taken sides. Readers are taken behind the scenes and into the newsrooms where they are shown how headlines are made and often manipulated to favor one side over another. Media bias usually against Israel? Read all about it in Engelhard’s stirring pages. The war for survival in a New York City newsroom mirrors the clash of civilizations here, in the Middle East, and around the world.

It was the golden age of Secretariat and the days of Arcaro and Shoemaker… but it was one rider above them all who drew the racing world’s rapt attention. That was Walter Blum. To count himself among the truly great he would have to win the 4,000th race of his career. He needed six more. That pursuit and so much more about the racetrack inspired international bestselling novelist Jack Engelhard to produce a factual journalistic account of what it’s really like behind the scenes. His book, The Horsemen, became an instant classic. The New York Times devoted a full spread on its Sports front page to excerpt and celebrate the book. “Racing has found its laureate.” Thus cheered famed New York Post racing writer Ray Kerrison writing for the pages of The National Star. The Horsemen continues to draw acclaim from readers throughout the racing world and from readers who simply enjoy a great book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great stuff from a great American novelist. Jack Engelhard (Indecent Proposal… The Bathsheba Deadline… The Days of the Bitter End…) brings it as only he can in language that is economical, hard-boiled and fast-paced to uncover through the art of fiction the naked truth about a TV news personality who resembles someone we all know. Brilliant and elegantly done, Engelhard dishes the scoop on this “queen of Chick Power with legs to die for.” What’s it like to live under the glare of the spotlight, and to love after the lights go down? In Engelhard’s masterful rendering, we follow the glamorous Marjorie Carmen’s rise to TV news stardom and what it took to get there, and what it takes to stay there. She came along when network TV news was dominated by living but dull white males. We root for her, hurt for her, love with her, find fault with her, and are always fascinated by her. But she is only half the story. As she keeps winning, her husband, Rick, keeps losing. He’s a failure. He must do something to prove he’s worth keeping. The choice he makes leads to a fascinating result, and in taking us inside a teetering marriage, Engelhard is peerless. Watch for the third major character Engelhard adds to the picture – Ruben Franklin! This is a newsroom swashbuckler you’ll never forget, just as you will never forget Marjorie Carmen, so fictitious, but so true. To know her, is to know our culture. This is a superb, thrilling novel that must be read. Praise Received “Engelhard zeroes in on a news anchor who resembles Megyn Kelly. It’s fiction, but WOW!” - Bonnie Kaye, author of Jennifer Needle in Her Arm “Jack Engelhard’s novels are filled to the brim with clear spirit, serious soul, and gritty honesty. His writing style is so light and bright it carries the reading in an effortless flow.” - Linda Shelnutt, author; most recent book, Myrtle’s Penultimate Walkabout “Engelhard writes with the sparseness of Hemingway and the moral intensity of I.B. Singer.” - Michael Foster, author of Three in Love (HarperCollins) “Jack Engelhard is a writer without peer and the conscience of us all.” - John W. Cassell, author of Crossroads: 1969

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beautifully written…grittily honest…delightfully charming… Readers have spoken. They wanted more from this masterpiece. So 10 new chapters have been added in what many cite as among the finest coming-of-age memoir ever written. Legendary novelist Jack Engelhard (Indecent Proposal) recovers the past with fresh gems in this award-winning book, honored, later in film, for its unique, minimalist style that delivers absolute brilliance. Each short chapter sparkles and shines in this little memoir that could. Torn from their homes in France at the onset of the Nazi invasion, and after a harrowing escape across the Pyrenees, the Engelhard family -- Noah, Ida, Sarah and Jack -- must begin lives as refugees in a new world -- first Canada (Montreal), later the United States. The experiences that shaped young Jack Engelhard were those that profoundly changed the world. Engelhard, often likened to Hemingway and James M. Cain for precision, helps us understand that life itself is the process of learning who you are. Praise Received for Escape from Mount Moriah “In Escape from Mount Moriah, Jack Engelhard achieves the impossible. In a single story, a single page, a single paragraph, even a single sentence, he combines a deep, abiding love with the unvarnished, penetrating gaze of the past, gritty realism with sublime philosophy, brevity with depth, the quintessentially Jewish with the essentially universal, and witty humor with the utmost seriousness.” - Nissan Ratzlav-Katz, former Opinion Editor for Israel National News.com “For my money every one of the 28 stories in this memoir has a latent brilliance and character unmatched in any published stories of their kind. Jack Engelhard is the last of the Hemingways.” - John W. Cassell, author of Crossroads: 1969 About the Author Contemporaries have hailed novelist Jack Engelhard as “the last Hemingway” and of being “a writer without peer and the conscience of us all.” The New York Times commended the economy of his prose… “precise, almost clinical language.” His bestselling novel Indecent Proposal made him internationally famous as the foremost chronicler of moral dilemmas and of topics dealing with temptation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pure Engelhard gem. In this one, The Girls of Cincinnati, he’s given us something never thought possible, a coming-of-age saga that’s also a sizzling thriller. The plot here is riveting. The dialogue sparkles. What’s it about? It’s about life. Anyone who’s been in love - especially love that appears to be out of reach - will understand what’s going on between Engelhard’s two heroes, Eli Brilliant and Stephanie Eaton. Anyone who feels the approach of menace will understand what these two must endure when a crazed woman appears on the scene, threatening them both with “a fate worse than death.” Anyone who works at a dead-end job will be right there with Eli, who ends up working for Harry’s Carpet City in Cincinnati, Ohio. Eli is back home in the Midwest after he failed to make it in New York as an actor. So that’s one dream down the drain. But now that he’s back in Cincinnati, he’s got Stephanie Eaton - or does he? Something always goes wrong between them, and this time, terribly wrong. Engelhard, the last of the Hemingways, gives us the heartland of America as it’s rarely been given to us before in literature. He gives us an unvarnished view inside the world of Sales and he gives us a broken-down old salesman that’s the equal of anything produced by Arthur Miller and David Mamet. Engelhard is most precious in his asides, his quick-cut commentaries. In Eli Brilliant, Engelhard gives us a character, though young and handsome, who we can all identify with - especially when we find Eli always reaching for the unattainable. Yes, he’s a lover, a chick magnet - hence the title - but don’t be fooled. This character, and this novel, goes much deeper. From start to finish, The Girls of Cincinnati is a triumph.

Who is Julian Rothschild? Julian is the star of Engelhard’s Prince of Dice and from page one to the end you will love this guy. He is a hero styled after the lonely gunman who comes to wipe out evil and save the town. Only Julian carries no guns. He carries a pair of dice. These are his weapons. He is a gambler, but he is different. Julian has been blessed with a gift. He has the magic touch. He can’t lose. Something happened when he found himself in the Sinai Desert. Something holy. His gambling, he feels, is directed by a Divine Hand. Against a world that tries to bring him down, Julian must keep proving himself, until finally it’s a matter of life or death. You will love this novel from Jack Engelhard… “A writer without peer, and the conscience of us all.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Engelhard’s The Days of the Bitter End may well be the definitive word on the 1960s. This is a landmark book, masterfully evocative. Engelhard once again proves himself to be a truly great novelist in this beautifully crafted historical novel that recaptures an era that has left an indelible mark on our culture to this day. Read it and laugh, read it and weep, because it’s all here, the way it was back then, the age of innocence soon to be shattered, but then reborn. This is what it was like to be young, every moment an adventure. Brilliant. Praise Received for The Days of the Bitter End “It’s all here…masterfully written by one of the greatest novelists of our Age. Engelhard brings to bear his journalistic talents as well as matchless storytelling ability to put the reader right in the center of the action…of the story…of the times.” - John W. Cassell, author of Crossroads: 1969 “What a great story. If you missed the 60s – if you missed the excitement, the passion, the radicalism, the thrills, the hopes and dreams – this book brings it all alive. I could not put it down.” - Kmgroup review “Another significant accomplishment from this versatile writer, and it resonates with the sort of dialogue and imagery that not only rings with credibility, but instantly evokes a ‘you are there’ feeling for the reader.” - Nancy Sundstrom, Northern Express “Engelhard’s writing is superb, and he offers up a slice of 1960s life that is vibrant and moving. The story is skillfully crafted, quite witty and intriguing.” - Carie Morrison, Rambles.net About the Author Contemporaries have hailed novelist Jack Engelhard as “the last Hemingway” and of being “a writer without peer and the conscience of us all.” The New York Times commended the economy of his prose… “precise, almost clinical language.” His bestselling novel Indecent Proposal made him internationally famous as the foremost chronicler of moral dilemmas and of topics dealing with temptation.

Book excerpt: The Unhoneymooners meets The Hating Game in this breezy debut romantic comedy about life--and love--30,000 feet above the ground. After ten years as a flight attendant, Ava Greene is poised to hang up her wings and finally put down roots. She's got one trip left before she bids her old life farewell, and she plans to enjoy every second of it. But then she discovers that former pilot Jack Stone--the absurdly gorgeous, ridiculously cocky man she's held a secret grudge against for years--is on her flight. And he has the nerve to flirt with her, as if he doesn't remember the role he played in the most humiliating night of her life. Good thing she never has to see him again after they land.... But when their plane encounters mechanical problems, what should have been a quick stop at the Belize airport suddenly becomes a weekend layover. Getting stuck on a three-hour flight with her nemesis was bad enough. Being stranded with him at a luxury resort in paradise? Even with the sultry breeze and white sand to distract her, it will take all the rum punch in the country to drown out his larger-than-life presence. Yet the more time Ava spends with him under the hot Caribbean sun, the more she begins to second-guess everything she thought she knew about him...and everything she thought she wanted from her life. And all too soon, she might have to choose between keeping her feet on the ground and her head in the clouds....

Book excerpt: LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FINALIST A transgender reporter's "powerful, profoundly moving" narrative tour through the surprisingly vibrant queer communities sprouting up in red states (New York Times Book Review), offering a vision of a stronger, more humane America. Ten years ago, Samantha Allen was a suit-and-tie-wearing Mormon missionary. Now she's a GLAAD Award-winning journalist happily married to another woman. A lot in her life has changed, but what hasn't changed is her deep love of Red State America, and of queer people who stay in so-called "flyover country" rather than moving to the liberal coasts. In Real Queer America, Allen takes us on a cross-country road-trip stretching all the way from Provo, Utah to the Rio Grande Valley to the Bible Belt to the Deep South. Her motto for the trip: "Something gay every day." Making pit stops at drag shows, political rallies, and hubs of queer life across the heartland, she introduces us to scores of extraordinary LGBT people working for change, from the first openly transgender mayor in Texas history to the manager of the only queer night club in Bloomington, Indiana, and many more. Capturing profound cultural shifts underway in unexpected places and revealing a national network of chosen family fighting for a better world, Real Queer America is a treasure trove of uplifting stories and a much-needed source of hope and inspiration in these divided times.

Americans lost their innocence on that tragic day in Dallas -- 22 November 1963. But for comedian Cliff Harris, whose career was based solely on his superb talent to imitate the dashing young president, life is changed forever. After rising from obscurity in Philadelphia to national prominence on television's entertainment institution, 'The Ed Sullivan Show', Harris becomes America's most popular comedic performer, doing JFK so well that even Jackie has a tough time telling the difference. But when the popular president is suddenly gunned down, what becomes of his shadow? With lively historical and fictional characters that capture the passion and drama of a generation, this novel brings to life the streets of New York City's renowned Greenwich Village. That vibrant, political and cultural focal point of the 1960s is stunningly reflected in all its exuberance, sex, pot-smoking, poetry and politics. Engelhard's heartfelt work recaptures the day American innocence turned into an American tragedy and the nation moved from the sweetness of postwar life to the bitter era of Vietnam.

Hiding in the shadows, pretending to be part of the United States Government, its power is beyond measure. Control of this organization has just been lost and the future of the nation has been thrust into peril. When the five candidates being considered to head this mysterious agency suddenly go missing, covert counter-terrorism operative, Scot Harvath is summoned to Washington and set loose on the most dangerous chase ever to play out on American soil. But as the candidates begin turning up murdered, the chase becomes an all-too-public spectacle with every indicator suggesting that the plot has its roots in a shadowy American cabal founded in the 1700s. With the United States on the verge of collapse, Harvath must untangle a web of conspiracy centuries in the making and head off the greatest threat America has ever seen. This is thriller writing at its absolute best where the stakes have never been higher, nor the line between good and evil so hard to discern.
