Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A woman attempts to flee her abusive husband in a thriller The New York Times Book Review calls “an unforgettable reading experience.” Overworked cocktail waitress Sherry Reynard doesn’t expect much anymore from her husband, Ward, whom she’s supported for years. A struggling writer and sometimes-junkie coddled by his wealthy parents, Ward spends his days lost in a fog of self-pity and hallucinations. Then, one morning, he attacks his wife in a sudden, unprovoked, violent fit of rage. When he turns on their three-year-old son, Johnny, Sherry bashes Ward into submission, grabs her boy, and runs. As Johnny recuperates in the hospital, Sherry rents a room in a boarding house—among a group of outcasts—anxious to escape her marriage and her memories. But when her vindictive in-laws file a suit for custody of Johnny, Sherry’s oppressive world starts closing in. She needs someone on her side. When new boarder Clifford Stone arrives, he’s just what Sherry’s looking for. Charming and sympathetic, he’s promised to be there should Sherry ever need him—he’s also been hired by Ward’s calculating father to insinuate himself into her life. Clifford has been paid well to love Sherry, manipulate her, destroy her reputation, and, if need be, even worse. The Balloon Man was made into Claude Chabrol’s classic 1970 film, La Rupture (The Breach). A gripping suspense novel, it will have you “flipping your wig all the way to the last page” (Kirkus Reviews). “Old fashioned suspense has given way to contemporary trauma and you’ll be flipping your wig all the way to the last page. . . . You won’t want to finish it.” —Kirkus Reviews

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long-lost relatives and priceless jewels turn a wedding upside down For all the Kellings’ quirks, no other family in Boston is more adept at throwing a wedding. So when Max Bittersohn’s wife, Sarah Kelling, offers to organize his nephew’s nuptials, Max is smart enough to stay out of her way. But when the art-fraud investigator stumbles onto a family mystery, he is drawn into something far more serious than the question of who will catch the bouquet. Stolen years earlier, the priceless Kelling jewels were last seen in Amsterdam, so how did they end up among the wedding gifts? Max is trying to answer that question when a talkative burglar wallops him with a shovel in a failed attempt to rip off the rubies. Then, as the reception winds down, a hot-air balloon lands on the wedding tent, spilling out the Zickerys, a branch of the Kelling clan who prove even odder than the original strain. Family weddings are never easy, but for Max Bittersohn, this one could be murder.

Book excerpt: Sharp and enchanting, Garrett Baldwin's The Man with the Big Red Balloon is a romping story of when good intentions meet impossible greed and a biting political satire of today's political world. Apple Valley is a pristine, bucolic wonderland shining with the promise of prosperity. Life is as simple as Josie's prized apple pies sold at the town's very first bakery. Farmers harvest plentiful apples, businesses swing open their doors, and life flourishes. Apple Valley is a growing economic powerhouse built on the ideals of productivity, education, and accountability. But one morning, the town's founder fails to rise again, and the town must continue on without him. Determined to uphold his legacy, the town pushes forward trading silver, selling wares, and holding each other accountable in a place where freedom is championed. Here, harvests are plentiful and businesses prosper. But when Arlo Greydon arrives on the heels of the town's economic boom, he doesn't see a fruitful world. All Arlo he sees is excess. Fairness--Arlo argues--is what Apple Valley needs most. The power hungry idealist believes that each farmer, each business owner, each person should have the same amount of food and the same amount of silver. To help him sell his brilliant vision of fairness, he invites a mysterious, charismatic stranger--only known as "the Man"--to help him. And when the Man stokes fear with news of a fresh crisis--that the town is running out of air--the people submit to Arlo's solution to increase taxes and government control of their lives. . . all for the children, of course.

Book excerpt: David Niven appeared in films for over 50 years of his life, from swashbucklers such as The Prisoner of Zenda and The Guns of Navarone to the Pink Panther series. Despite his on-screen persona, Niven wasn’ t always the perfect gentleman. He was insecure both privately and professionally and used people to get ahead. But he did, he said, ‘ at least try to be a decent man.’ He knew he often failed, although it isn’ t easy to find people who ever had a bad word to say about him. In this fascinating biography of the star, Munn looks at the funny stories and the sad underlying truth, from his outrageous days with Errol Flynn and their irrevocable split – ‘ You always know where you are with Flynn. He always lets you down’ – and numerous affairs with stars and prostitutes, to an attempted suicide, his horrific experiences in war-torn France and the breakdown and blame of his second marriage. This compelling text includes interviews with his second wife, Hjordis, John Huston, Rex Harrison, Laurence Olivier, Loretta Young (they discussed marriage once), Niven’ s long-time friend Michael Trubshawe, Peter Ustinov, Ava Gardner and many more. Funny, poignant and told with the compassion of one who knew him, this is a fascinating portrayal of a legend that really gets behind the screen and autobiographical persona. ‘ Reveals the actor’ s dark side and drastically changes the light-hearted self-portrait that Niven draws of himself in The Moon’ s a Balloon’ Sunday Express Writer, actor, director and former journalist and Hollywood publicist, Michael Munn, has written 21 books, including the best selling John Wayne: the Man behind the Myth and the acclaimed Richard Burton: Prince of Players

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harvey Potter was a very strange fellow indeed. He was a farmer, but he didn't farm like my daddy did. He farmed a genuine, U.S. Government Inspected Balloon Farm. So begins this enchanting original tall tale. Set in the rural south and populated with a truly unforgettable cast of characters--including, if you look very carefully, a rabbit, a Tyrannosaurus rex, a cat, a chicken, a cow, and a pig hidden in each remarkable illustration--this is a book that is filled with wonderful impossibilities and magical imagination. Told in the great tradition of summer nights and front porch yarns, Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm will lift your spirit right off the ground, just as it does Harvey Potter. Harvey Potter was a very strange fellow indeed. He was a farmer but not like any farmer you've ever met. He didn't grow corn, okra, or tomatoes. Harvey Potter grew balloons. No one knew exactly how he did it, but with the help of the light of a full moon, one friendly child catches a peek of just how Harvey Potter does it. And keeps some magic for herself. "This is the best sort of fantasy imaginative, inventive, and believable. Harvey Potter is a wonder he's the owner of a genuine U.S. Government Inspected Balloon farm. And Nolen's tale about this man, narrated by the African-American girl who learns balloon-farming magic from him, is equally wondrous.... This title should sail onto every library shelf. May Nolen grow a bumper crop of books." School Library Journal. "Downright glorious." Publishers Weekly(starred review).

Book excerpt: In the springtime, park-goers hear the familiar squeaks of his balloon cart as he moves along the paths. He hands out free balloons, choosing the perfect colors and imparting advice and wisdom. There's a touch of magic there-an answered question with each balloon, a changed expression with each color-but only Cammie York sees the full picture. She journals about him obsessively, afraid to ask him for a balloon, until one day she does. Then, The Balloon Man moves from her fairytale stories of him to real-life person . . . a person with faults and mysteries. When The Balloon Man tucks the ribbon of a pink balloon into Cammie's hand, she feels the spark of a new adventure. Cammie insists his balloons are magic, especially when she learns The Balloon Man does not know his father but has one clue to his identity-a green spiral magic symbol. The clues to The Balloon Man's identity lead onward, to an enchanted inn with magic wallpaper, then to a secret underworld of true magicians. During the journey, Cammie and The Balloon Man begin to fall in love, sharing pink balloons of romance, red balloons of love. But when The Balloon Man finally accepts his destiny as true magic man, the two learn that the magic that has brought them together is also what may tear them apart.

Book excerpt: "Set in the south of Mexico, this is the realistic, colorful story of one child's rough road into the modern world. Surviving in a big city is a tall order if you've never seen one before, and you're only about six years old and all alone. But survival is Utuyu's challenge when he comes out of The Mountains to the North, where the people don't even speak Spanish, and finds himself in the bustling city of Oaxaca. His adventures make a tale of determination, courage and resourcefulness as Utuyu learns to cope with feelings all children share."--Taken from rear cover
