Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of The Tribes of Palos Verdes, a compelling new novel about a couple's getaway to a Mexican paradise that goes horribly wrong. Joy Nicholson's second novel, The Road to Esmeralda, is a dark, seductive story about Americans abroad. Fed up with their L.A. lives, Nick and Sarah decide to head south to Mexico. They are looking for something: love, self-fulfillment, inspiration, or even just peace of mind. However, as the roads get windier and the jungle thicker, this naïve pair realizes that all of the trappings of society-greed, drugs, violence and jealousy-exist even in the remotest of places. Even tiny Esmeralda has a secret agenda . . . While her prose remains hearfelt and spare, Nicholson, in The Road to Esmeralda, also reveals a political edge. In exploring the prejudices of a small Mexican town, she weaves a harrowing and tragic story of love, devastation, and what it means to be a young, intelligent American in a very angry world.

And in handsome twin brothers Ramon and Inocente—both in love with Ana—she finds a way to get there. Marrying Ramon at the age of eighteen, she travels across the ocean to Hacienda los Gemelos, a remote sugar plantation the brothers have inherited. But soon the Civil War erupts in the United States, and Ana finds her livelihood, and perhaps even her life, threatened by the very people on whose backs her wealth has been built: the hacienda’s slaves, whose richly drawn stories unfold alongside her own in this epic novel of love, discovery and adventure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A marvelous new anthology from the editors of Las Christmas in which our most admired Latino authors share memories of their mothers. The women lovingly portrayed in Las Mamis represent a cross section of Latino life and culture. They come from rich families in the big cities of Latin America, from rural immigrant families, and from the worlds in between-and they share an extraordinary inner strength, often maintained against incredible odds. Pressed by conflicting cultural expectations, circumstance, and religion, they have managed the challenges of motherhood, leaving enduring legacies for their children. Now, in these vivid, poignant, and sometimes hilarious reminiscences-all of them infused with distinct sabor latino-Las Mamis celebrates the universality of family love and the special bond between mothers and children. Contributors include: Esmeralda Santiago, Piri Thomas, Marjorie Agosin, Junot Diaz, Alba Ambert, Liz Balmaseda, Mandalit del Barco, Gioconda Belli, Maria Escandon, Dagoberto Gilb, Francisco Goldman, Jaime Manrique, Gustavo Perez-Firmat, Ilan Stavans

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DEATHLESSNESS - the magnet for evil! No one is as impetuous and as spontaneously inventive as Esmeralda when it comes to looking after her human family in times of crisis. So, just as she broke barriers and laws to intervene in the human world when her sister was being murdered, her recklessness again comes to the surface when her human birth mother is hit by a car. What she does is so extraordinary that it actually leads to the discovery of how the boundary between virtual and physical worlds can be erased! That knowledge, in itself, is not dangerous at all, if contained within the virtual world of Screenside. Sadly, some humans get to know, and it is soon revealed that the virtual world holds the key to human immortality! That starts off a very clever game plan to cheat the virtuals, using their desperation to end human pain. The virtual side begins immersing itself into the remarkably easy and rewarding job of helping and curing humans suffering from motor and mental issues, while scarcely bothering with precautions, being confident that the physical world cannot misuse the virtual one. But there are many seekers of The Holy Grail – ETERNAL LIFE, and they will always be wealthy, powerful and evil, and able to arrange things that otherwise seem impossible!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Esmeralda books tell the stories of a mother and daughter who live in the city but love to visit the country farm where the child's grandmother lives. This is the second in the series of Esmeralda books. The tales originated as stories created by the author to entertain her grandchildren while they were riding in her car. They would sit quietly, completely enthralled with Esmeralda's adventures. The author could see their reactions in her rear view mirror as each story unfolded. "Nana, Esmeralda! Esmeralda!" would be heard from the back seat of the car soon after each journey began. The characters have become part of their family, and Esmeralda's adventures often cross their minds. The descriptions in the stories are inspired by four generations of the author's family, their animals, and moments they spent together. Simple tales of the love shared by a very special family.

Jill couldn’t love police chief Greg King more—so why does that engagement ring still feel funny on her finger? At least she’ll have a chance to show it off this Saturday at their engagement party. Just in time for the event, a new dress shop has opened in town, Exquisite Gowns for You, specializing in designer wedding gowns and other custom-fit dresses. But Jill’s excitement turns to shock when she comes by to pick up her dress for the party and discovers a dead body in the shop. New owner Harper Sanchez is behaving strangely and becoming more mysterious than anyone expected. Despite Greg’s warnings to leave the case to him, Jill can’t help looking into the murder. Somebody in South Cove is dressed to kill—and if Jill’s not careful, she may not live to wear her wedding gown . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esmeralda and BC set out on another spying mission, this one to investigate the body farming activities of the people who have stolen their way into immortality. What they discover is way beyond their worst nightmares, and the virtual world of Screenside, consumed with guilt at its role in unleashing a beast on mankind, begins preparing for potential war, knowing itself to be the last line of defense of a human world oblivious to the danger of apocalypse by plan! Stealing empty bodies from the body farms of the digital people they call nonborns, they are able to go to war in virtual-managed human soldiers that can be ethically permitted to die in battle. Virtuals have all the advantages when it comes to combat against human forces, not least of all being the extraordinary capabilities acquired by human bodies under virtual management. Thus, when the Chinese nonborn begins genocide of unarmed civilians, forcing Screenside to commence a ferocious military assault on many fronts, the evil digital people of Never Death are soon cornered. But cornering the Beast has always been fraught with danger, as it can do anything at all to preserve itself…

Book excerpt: "Not real?" Coyote howled. "A filthy lie." He grabbed a wiener and shoved the end of a willow stick through its middle. The Nowherians were deployed around a rusty wheelbarrow used as a grill for their annual Fourth of July weenie roast. Jackrabbit examined the puffy black wiener on the end of his stick. "You still upset about Frijoles saying that Funnies from Nowhere is fiction?" Coyote jabbed the coals, creating an explosion of sparks and coating his wiener in ash. "You bet I am. If we're not real, then neither is Nowhere, and the cartoon character who was boner-fidee elected President of the United States isn't either." He rapped his stick to knock off the ash, and his wiener fell into the fire. "If your wiener were parallel to the stick instead of perpendicular, that wouldn't happen," offered Pearl. He stared at her until the answer came to him. "Parallel is safer but limits you to one wiener." He seized a handful, mounted a row of six, and suspended the drooping load over the fire. "My only limitations are the length of my stick and the size of the fire."
