Be one of 100 lucky winners of the ebook version of ZEBRA SKIN SHIRT, Zebra Skin Shirt by Gregory Hill, author of East of Denver and winner of the 2013 Colorado Book Award!
"Ranks with the best of Vonnegut's mind-benders, but with more laughs page-for-page."
—Zack Boddicker, Author of The Essential Carl Mahogany
Brimming with audacious humor, unpredictable turns, and outrageous calls, Zebra Skin Shirt forges a no-tropes-allowed sci-fi tale into a sharply-written literary walkabout.
Before the clocks stopped, Narwhal Slotterfield was an unremarkable and unethical basketball referee. He blew his whistle, broke the rules, and tried not to drive his girlfriend insane.
But then time got stuck at 7:23 pm and Narwhal got stuck in a diner in the middle of the Great Plains. Faced with an eternal now, where humans are as still as manikins, raindrops never reach the earth, and where there's a home-cooked meal in every country kitchen, the irrepressible Narwhal dons a zebra skin shirt and applies his gleefully misanthropic officiating skills to the universe itself.
Then he reads his girlfriend's diary—a bad idea—and, faced with some unsettling revelations, he decides to walk to Denver for some old fashioned vigilante justice—a very bad idea—and things get weird: explosions, drug abuse, meteorological miracles, despair, and a marriage proposal. Things escalate until Narwhal must make a call that could determine the fate of an entire civilization.

Synopsis
Macy Carlson struggled through the first six weeks of her son’s life. She knew something wasn’t right, but the doctors kept telling her that all young mothers went through this with their first, so she took her baby home only to return a few days later as she tried to convince the doctors that something was wrong.
After six weeks of this back-and-forth she went to her crying baby one morning and witnessed him having a seizure, little arms and legs rigid. She managed not to let her terror overwhelm her and rushed her baby to the emergency room where she listened to a group of very nervous, very apologetic doctors fumble through their medical jargon in the attempt to explain that her six week old son wasn’t going to survive. Surprisingly she felt no anger; not even panic. She acted as though she hadn’t heard a word they’d said; her only response being, “When can I take my baby home?”
Based on the true story of a woman who gave her son a life the doctors said would be impossible, all the while struggling through an abusive marriage and forging a career that saw her battle through the glass ceiling and rise to the pinnacle of her profession, Gino’s Mom is the story of a woman who meets every obstacle that life gives her with a courage that she doesn’t realize she has. Gino’s Mom will make you cry; it will make you laugh; but most of all it will make you cheer. Gino’s Mom is a story of triumph.

This is so innovative and new - I read it with my daughter and we were enthralled. It's well written, original, challenging and excellent.
Clare L. Netgalley.com (Five Stars)
Harrell writes convincingly of a child's worldview, balancing the protagonist's vulnerability with fortitude. Prose flows eloquently, with hard-hitting observations about cruelty and inhumanity. The author's blending of magic into a story of survival and oppression under colonialism, results in a rare and powerful work of speculative fiction.
BookLife Prize – 2018 Semi Finalist (Publishers Weekly)
My daughter loved this book. Thanks for the advanced copy. I can't say much but that she could not put this book down.
April S. Netgalley.com (Five stars)
I am willing to suspend disbelief for the sake of a good story, and this is a humdinger of a tale.
L. Frankel Amazon.com (5 out of 5 stars)
Strikingly original and very well-written, Nyira and the Invisible Boy is a wholly enjoyable read!
aweatherbee Amazon.com (5 out of 5 stars)
Omgosh I can not give this book enough praise. I have no clue how K.M was able to make Nyira so loving.
Chasty Goodreads (Five stars)
Exceptionally well written, "Nyira and the Invisible Boy: The Graveyard Club" is a simply riveting read from beginning to end.

Dark secrets and family crimes drive a ruthless female serial killer in Ellen J. Green’s breathtaking sequel to Amazon Charts bestseller Twist of Faith.
Ava Saunders was only a child when she saw her mother murdered—a brutal family mystery that was buried with her. Unearthing the past has been Ava’s obsession. Anyone in her way has paid the price. Now on the run, Ava needs to disappear, and she gets her chance when the skeletal remains of her latest victim are mistaken for Ava herself. Is it a sign? Have her sins been washed away? Or has she been given a second chance to finish what she started?
The case surrounding the trail of murders has consumed Ava’s friend Detective Russell Bowers. Victim by victim, he’s been hunting the hunter. One new chilling clue has left no doubt in Russell’s mind: Ava is alive, and not well.
He can’t help but follow her, from the shores of the Mediterranean to the mountains of Italy, where the last of Ava’s blood relatives are hiding her family’s most dreadful secret—and where Russell himself could be pulled into the unforgivable darkness of Ava’s revenge.

DARKNESS AND MAGIC PLAGUE EGYPT AS DESPAIR CREEPS ACROSS THE KNOWN WORLD…
Maddie, the woman Gavin loves, was abducted while they searched for ancient Egypt’s legendary Hall of Records. Now Gavin has to convince his friends to join him on an obscure path to find her—a path that has been hidden for reasons buried long ago. As Gavin struggles to find answers, the body of a young woman is discovered … Deadly obstacles spring up as Gavin and his friends are tracked by mysterious men. Uncovering the true objectives of these men is Gavin’s only hope, but it could cost him his life.
Thousands of years in the past, Heb attempted to face his nemesis, Akhenaten, who rose to the throne of Egypt, but Heb was cast into slavery and Akhenaten took the beautiful Nefertiti as his queen. Ancient Egypt has fallen into turmoil with the rise of the Aten, a new type of god-king, and a purge of those who will not submit to Pharaoh’s ideologies. Now a troubled Heb must win over an odd assortment of acquaintances, learn the magic of the ancients, and face monsters that haunt the known and unknown world before seeking revenge and confronting the madness terrorizing his past.

“True Places is a beautiful reminder that though we may busy ourselves seeking what we want, what we need has an uncanny way of finding us.” —Camille Pagán, bestselling author of Life and Other Near-Death Experiences
A girl emerges from the woods, starved, ill, and alone…and collapses.
Suzanne Blakemore hurtles along the Blue Ridge Parkway, away from her overscheduled and completely normal life, and encounters the girl. As Suzanne rushes her to the hospital, she never imagines how the encounter will change her—a change she both fears and desperately needs.
Suzanne has the perfect house, a successful husband, and a thriving family. But beneath the veneer of an ideal life, her daughter is rebelling, her son is withdrawing, her husband is oblivious to it all, and Suzanne is increasingly unsure of her place in the world. After her discovery of the ethereal sixteen-year-old who has never experienced civilization, Suzanne is compelled to invite Iris into her family’s life and all its apparent privileges.
But Iris has an independence, a love of solitude, and a discomfort with materialism that contrasts with everything the Blakemores stand for—qualities that awaken in Suzanne first a fascination, then a longing. Now Suzanne can’t help but wonder: Is she destined to save Iris, or is Iris the one who will save her?

Meet Marie Antoinett
Enter for a chance to win one of 20 signed, first edition copies of Marie Antoinette: the Courageous End by Margaret Anne MacLeod.
Meet Marie Antoinette as you've never known her. Forget the beautiful, smiling, pleasure seeking queen forever dancing at some glittering, magnificent ball.
Meet the other Marie Antoinette in this novel – the harrowing account of Marie Antoinette’s imprisonment – based on the memoirs of those who witnessed Marie Antoinette’s ordeal. Discover the agonies which tested the queen to the limit, and revealed the courage at the heart of this once thoughtless woman.
A surprisingly life-affirming novel, detailing man’s capacity for kindness – even during this mercilessly cruel period.
Includes as extras: twenty pages of snippets from Marie Antoinette’s letters to her beloved Fersen, the love of her life.
And extracts from the memoir by Marie Therese – Marie Antoinette’s traumatised daughter – the only survivor of the family’s imprisonment.
And of course, Marie Antoinette’s beloved son. What happened to the child? Unspeakable torment and abuse, resulting in a solitary death.
To watch a newly commissioned dramatised film about Marie Antoinette's last moments, go to my website - which has the same name as my book (add .com). There you will also find portraits of many of the characters in the book (many of whom were real people) who shared the queen's final days.
Good luck!

A National Book Award finalist's unforgettable account of raising her children abroad with the help of Chinese and Indian women who are also working mothers
When Megan Stack left her prestigious job as a foreign correspondent to have a baby and work from her home in Beijing writing a book, she quickly realized that childcare and housework would consume the time she needed to write. This dilemma was resolved in the manner of many upper class families and large corporations: she availed herself of cheap Chinese labor. The housekeeper Stack hired was a migrant from the countryside, a mother who had left her daughter in a precarious situation to earn desperately needed cash in the capital. As Stack's family grew, a series of Chinese and Indian women cooked, cleaned and babysat in her home and she grew increasingly aware of the brutal realities of their lives: domestic abuse, alcoholism, unplanned pregnancies, medical and family crises. Hiring poor women had given Stack the ability to work while raising her children--but what ethical compromise had she made?
Determined to confront the truth, Stack traveled to her employees' homes, met their parents and children, and turned a journalistic eye on the tradeoffs they'd been forced to make as working mothers seeking upward mobility--and on the cost to the children who were left behind.
Women's Work is a stunning memoir of four women and an electrifying meditation on the evasions of mar

Enter to win a copy of Mama's Last Hug, New York Times best-selling author and primatologist Frans de Waal's exploration of the fascinating world of animal and human emotions.
Mama’s Last Hug opens with the dramatic farewell between Mama, a dying fifty-nine-year-old chimpanzee matriarch, and biologist Jan Van Hooff. This heartfelt final meeting of two longtime friends, widely shared as a video, offers a window into how deep and instantly recognizable these bonds can be. So begins Frans de Waal’s whirlwind tour of new ideas and findings about animal emotions. De Waal discusses facial expressions, animal sentience and consciousness, Mama’s life and death, the emotional side of human politics, and the illusion of free will. He distinguishes between emotions and feelings, all the while emphasizing the continuity between our species and other species. And he makes the radical proposal that emotions are like organs: we don’t have a single organ that other animals don’t have, and the same is true for our emotions.

The dark world he's been fighting against has caught up with him. Will his daughter pay the price?
As a former Army Ranger, DEA Special Agent Pierce Hunt is no stranger to violence. Fresh off a six-month suspension, he's itching to hit a notorious Mexican drug cartel where it hurts, even if that means protecting crime boss Vicente Garcia, a witness in the case against sadistic cartel leader Valentina Mieles. But things spiral out of control when the cartel murders Garcia and kidnaps his granddaughter and an innocent bystander, Hunt's own teenage daughter.
Mieles wants the new head of the Garcia family on a plate--literally. Hunt has seventy-two hours to deliver, or Mieles will execute the girls live on social media. With the clock ticking, Hunt goes off the grid and teams up with Garcia's daughter, a former lover and current enemy. To save the girls, Hunt will have to become a man he swore he'd never be again: an avenging killer without limits or mercy.

A witty, unflinching, and provocative memoir about one woman’s journey into the fact, fiction, and fraud of the modern mystical complex.
In the months
A witty, unflinching, and provocative memoir about one woman’s journey into the fact, fiction, and fraud of the modern mystical complex.
In the months following the breakup with her longtime boyfriend, Victoria Loustalot crossed paths with multiple psychics eager to impart their vision. Persistent and prescient, each one slightly chipped away at Victoria’s innate skepticism. She had to admit that what they knew about her past was eerily accurate. As for her future? She couldn’t shake the feeling that some powerful force in the universe was trying to tell her something and, for once, she ought to listen. Or at least investigate.
In Future Perfect, Victoria draws on her own personal experience to launch a broader inquiry into the phenomena of psychics, shamans, astrologers, and their fans. Through historical documents and interviews with clairvoyants, seers, and their believers, Victoria opens herself up to the modern mystical complex in cultures and cities around the globe. She pays close attention to what they have to tell us about how we choose to live, what we might be missing out on in the process, and what in the world we’re supposed to do with all that information.

Enter for a chance to win one of 50 advance early editions of NO SUNSCREEN FOR THE DEAD by Tim Dorsey!
Serge and Coleman are back on the road, ready to hit the next stop on their list of obscure and wacky points of interest in the Sunshine State. This time, Serge’s interest is drawn to one of the largest retirement villages in the world—also known as the site of an infamous sex scandal between a retiree and her younger beau that rocked the community.
What starts out as an innocent quest to observe elders in their natural habitats, sample the local cuisine, and scope out a condo to live out the rest of their golden years, soon becomes a Robin Hood-like crusade to recover the funds of swindled residents. After all, our seniors should be revered and respected—they’ve heroically fought in wars, garnered priceless wisdom, and they have the best first-hand accounts of bizarre Floridian occurrences only Serge would know about. But as the resident’s rally for Serge to seek justice on their behalves, two detectives are hot on the heels of Serge and Coleman’s murderous trail.

The Lonely Farmer is a masterpiece of suspense about the spiritual and romantic journey of a young man heralded to protect humanity from a raging epid
The Lonely Farmer is a masterpiece of suspense about the spiritual and romantic journey of a young man heralded to protect humanity from a raging epidemic by debut author B. Magruder.
"Somewhere between spring and fall, life and death, one summer on my farm for the lonely hearted, five strangers came in search of forgiveness for their sins…and, in their own ways, found it. Years later, when a young student questioned his decision to pursue the priesthood, I shared my story with him and the others who chose to listen. I told them about the journeys of my guests and the sins of an angel called 8. That same night, the Wrath of God unleashed a deadly virus on the world."
The Lonely Farmer weaves together a retrospective, spiritual love story with an eve-of-destruction, apocalyptic thriller. The epic struggle between mortality and the eternal soul is staged on a simple Iowa farmstead. The fight for life and death plays out in an overburdened Iowa City hospital. On the back porch of a fraternity, the lonely and the lost search for the meaning of it all.
B. Magruder received his doctorate from Iowa State University in sociology and statistics. He's been trying to predict the future ever since. His books reflect a fascination with the sin of knowing too much.

Fall in love, break the curse. Break the curse, save the kingdom.
It once seemed so easy to Prince Rhen, the heir to Emberfall. Cursed by an enchantress to repeat the autumn of his eighteenth year over and over, he knew he could be saved if a girl fell for him. But that was before he learned that at the end of each autumn, he would turn into a beast hell-bent on destruction. That was before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.
Nothing has ever been easy for Harper. With her father long gone, her mother dying, and her brother barely holding their family together while constantly underestimating her because of her cerebral palsy, she learned to be tough enough to survive. When she tries to save someone on the streets of Washington, DC, she’s somehow sucked into Rhen’s cursed world.
A prince? A monster? A curse? Harper doesn’t know where she is or what to believe. As she spends time with Rhen in this enchanted land, she begins to understand what’s at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not just another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful forces are standing against Emberfall, and it will take more than a broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and his people from utter ruin.

Looking for a gift this Holiday Season? Enter for your chance to win WINNING THE WAR ON CANCER: THE EPIC JOURNEY TOWARDS A NATURAL CURE, a new breakthrough book that reveals a true story about natural medical research that is astonishing and compelling.
A critical book to read if you know anyone with cancer.
This book is a "story within a story" as through its pages, Sylvie Beljanski outlines a personal journey of the visionary discoveries of her father Dr. Mirko Beljanski, a biologist-biochemist who worked for many years at the famous Pasteur Institute in Paris, whose suppressed research led to improvements in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
Throughout the book, you will follow Sylvie Beljanski on an amazing journey, from the backstage of the presidential palace in Paris and its agonizing President, to the SWAT team raid on Dr. Beljanski’s laboratory, experience life in the heart of the Amazonian forest, and finally celebrate the recognition of the anticancer effect of Dr. Beljanski’s extracts in the United States. (Pao pereira, Rauwolfia vomitoria, Golden leaf of Ginkgo Biloba, RNA- fragments).
“This story will shake you to the core, it will anger, enlighten, inspire, give you hope, and make you giggle. Mostly it will convince you that without the shadow of a doubt, cancer can be cured, and that the monster behind the curtain does not even exist,” Alex Lubarsky, author.

A group of hate crimes, a conspiracy, or a coincidence? Investigator Maria Kallio searches for answers close to home in award-winning author Leena Lehtolainen’s riveting thriller.
After completing a dangerous mission training police officers in war-torn Afghanistan, Detective Maria Kallio returns to Finland as the head of a new special crimes unit. But what awaits her in her home country is her most challenging and unsettling case yet. Three immigrant Muslim girls, all members of the same social club, have gone missing under mysterious circumstances. When the body of a fourth girl is found in the snow, strangled with her own headscarf, the investigation takes on a grim new urgency.
Is there a xenophobic serial killer on the loose? A random white nationalist? Or does something more insidious bind the girls? In a Finnish city struggling to assimilate a new population of Muslim immigrants, the answers are hard to come by…
One thing is certain: it will take a detective familiar with the darkest depths of humanity to sift through the wreckage of clashing cultures in search of the truth. That detective is Maria Kallio.

Enter for a chance to win 1 of 100 galleys of the next Jill Shalvis Heartbreaker Bay novel!
If you’re planning on falling in love…
When it comes to the confident, charismatic Caleb Parker, Sadie Lane feels the spark—the kind that comes from rubbing each other the wrong way. She’s yoga pants, he’s a suit. She’s a tattoo artist, he’s a straight-laced mogul. But after they accidentally co-rescue an abandoned dog from a storm, Sadie sees a vulnerable side to the seemingly invincible hottie.
you’d better be sure…
Caleb doesn’t do emotions. Growing up the underdog, he’s learned the hard way to build up an impenetrable wall. Perfect for business. Disastrous for relationships. He’s never worried about it before—not until he finally gets behind Sadie’s armor and begins to fall.
… someone is there to catch you.
Both guarded and vulnerable, Sadie and Caleb are complete opposites. Or are they? Shocked at their undeniable connection, can they ever admit to wanting more? That all depends on what they’re each willing to risk.

ENTER FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A COPY OF THE LONG FLIGHT HOME BY ALAN HLAD!
It is September 1940, as German bombs fall on Britain, fears grow of an impending invasion. Enemy fighter planes blacken the sky around the Epping Forest home of Susan Shepherd and her grandfather, Bertie. After losing her parents, Susan found comfort in raising homing pigeons with Bertie. All her birds are extraordinary to Susan but none more so than Duchess. Hatched from an egg that Susan incubated in a bowl under her grandfather’s desk lamp, Duchess shares a special bond with Susan and an unusual curiosity about the human world.
Thousands of miles away in Buxton, Maine, a young crop-duster pilot named Ollie Evans has decided to travel to Britain to join the Royal Air Force. His quest brings him to Epping and to the National Pigeon Service, where Susan is involved in a new, covert assignment. Codenamed Source Columba, the mission aims to air-drop hundreds of homing pigeons in German-occupied France. Those that do make the journey home to England can convey crucial information on German troop movements—and help reclaim the skies from the Luftwaffe.
The friendship between Ollie and Susan deepens as the mission date draws near. When Ollie’s plane is downed behind enemy lines, both know how remote the chances of reunion must be. Yet Duchess’s devotion and her singular sense of duty will become an unexpected lifeline, relaying messages between Susan and Ollie as war rages on.

A man’s search for a missing girl leads him across borders and through a landscape of urban violence in this timely, propulsive, and brilliantly imagined thriller.
Ethan is living a solid, rational life as a bail bondsman in Florida when he’s compelled to make a seemingly irrational decision: abandon his job and his girlfriend and head south to rescue the daughter of his ex-lover, Michelle. She appears to have been kidnapped by the Mara—vicious street gangs ripping apart the fabric of Central American life—and there’s every reason to believe the girl is dead already. Except for the one that Ethan has been hiding from everyone: she is calling to him in his dreams with three desperate words…I’m still alive.
What begins as an urgent mission to save her soon pulls Ethan into a subterranean culture of fear, corruption, and human trafficking with a surreal connection to the most unspeakable crimes of the twentieth century. Suddenly Ethan’s past has come back to haunt him—especially his relationship with Michelle and a passion that was as dangerous as it was intoxicating. Now, heeding impossible cries for help from a lost child, Ethan embarks on a journey that devolves from dreamscape to a nightmare from which there may be no return.
