Ten years later, the beautiful Garvey girls, in their early 20s, face the challenges of youth and romance in the midst of World War II. As their mother lies dying, she mumbles a few words in which Irene finds a possible clue in their father’s still unsolved murder.

By turns, intriguing, humorous, sad and heartwarming, The Garvey Girls is a story of love and awakening in the midst of tragedy in the murky deep South of the 1940s.

About Featured Book: Picasso’s Motorcycle by Marc Sercomb

France, 1940.
An unexpected gift of an old motorcycle with a tragically romantic past hurls a young orphan into the thick of things as war breaks out and his life changes forever. Half-French/half-German Daniel must find a way to survive in a world that mercy seems to have abandoned. This book transports the reader to Nazi-occupied France, where Daniel unwittingly and unexpectedly finds himself working for the Resistance, and ultimately to the Russian Front in a twist of fate so startling that no one can see it coming. In turn quirky, heartwarming, beguiling and uncompromising, author Marc Sercomb weaves together many moods and colors to tell young Daniel’s story. Beyond engaging, Picasso’s Motorcycle has been hailed as a genuine “page-turner” by those who have so far encountered it.

If you like “The Book Thief” and “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas,” you’ll love this book!
On sale for $0.99 from December 17 to December 22, 2021!

About Featured Book: Advertisement for Murder by Nadine Doolittle

First in Series FREE from Dec. 13 to Dec 17,2021 on Amazon!

In the gentle hamlet of St. Ives, a killer roams free.
In 1975, seventeen-year-old Jenny Blake was found strangled in the ruins behind the abandoned St. Ives Abbey. Her murderer was never caught. Forty-four years later, an advertisement in the local newspaper draws seven people to the home of Elliot Marks with the purpose of forming a murder mystery book club. Within minutes, Marks proposes they solve a real murder instead–beginning with who killed Jenny Blake?

Was it her ex-boyfriend, the brilliant but withdrawn Jesse Sutcliffe, who was now a homeless alcoholic? Or Duncan Carmichael, the attractive local politician who was dating Jenny at the time of the murder? What about Karen Haggerty, the bubbly school secretary, who Duncan dumped for Jenny in the summer of ‘75? Or was it Ida Greb, the town librarian who was privately glad at the time that Jenny was dead. And then there was the eccentric Elliot Marks, the club founder, who had a connection to the dead girl that no one knew about.

For Avery Holmes, who moved to St. Ives to write novels, keep a garden and live comfortably, poking into a cold case is a risky proposition. After all, waking a killer who thought he or she had gotten away with murder could lead to … well … murder.

About Featured Book: Devil’s Ledger: A Female Sleuth Financial Thriller with International Espionage (A Louise Moscow Novel Book 3) by Lorraine Evanoff

THE NEW FINAL INSTALLMENT OF THE COMPLETED LOUISE MOSCOW THRILLERS!

“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist” ~ Charles Baudelaire.

Louise is now an operative of the CIA, and is called upon to investigate the most unlikely of suspects, her own father, a top-level lawyer defending a Russian mafia style individual.

Louise’s investigation takes her again to Europe, this time to Italy, and the historic city of Sienna. The world’s oldest bank is in trouble, and Louise wants to find a way to save it.

Suffice to say it has murder, mayhem, intrigue, torture in an infamous Russian prison, and a trillion-dollar treasure to be found.

The thing I like most about Evanoff’s writing is that she actually knows how to use the English language properly, something sadly lacking in so much writing these days.

About Featured Book: The Essence of Nathan Biddle by J. William Lewis

$2.99 for one week only! Amazon bestseller in Coming of Age and Classic American Fiction.

Protagonist Kit Biddle is a rising prep school senior who finds himself tangled in a web of spiritual quandaries and intellectual absurdities. Kit’s angst is compounded by a unique psychological burden he is forced to carry: his intelligent but unstable Uncle Nat has committed an unspeakable act on what, according to the Uncle’s deranged account, were direct orders from God.

The tragedy haunting his family follows Kit like a dark and foreboding cloud, exacerbating his already compulsive struggle with existential questions about the meaning of his life. When the brilliant, perhaps phantasmic, Anna dismisses him, Kit quickly spirals into despair and self-destruction. But when his irrational decision to steal a maintenance truck and speed aimlessly down the highway ends in a horrific accident and months of both physical and emotional convalescence, Kit is forced to examine his perceptions of his life and his version of reality.
