A MENTOR & HER MUSE
Genre: Women's Fiction / Psychological Fiction
Under the guise of mentor and muse, a frustrated writer and her ambitious teenage protégé take an illicit summer road trip fraught with racial and sexual tension. This is a compelling psychological novel about social norms, artistic ambition, and obsession.

Maggie Barnett works in the media center of a school in Flint, Michigan where she meets Taezha Riverton, an aspiring teenage writer. After discovering that Maggie is also a writer, Taezha turns to her as both mentor and friend.
Alone and childless, it's not enough for Maggie to take Tae to restaurants and poetry slams. Although Tae’s mother has nothing against Maggie, she is less than thrilled when Maggie proposes to take her daughter on a summer road trip. Permission is never explicitly granted, but shortly after school is out for the summer, Maggie and Tae head for the Southeast.

Meet Author Gerald W. Darnell

A Florida native, Gerald grew up in the small town of Humboldt, Tennessee. He attended high school and was a graduate of HHS class of 64. Following graduation from the University of Tennessee, he spent time in Hopkinsville, KY, Memphis, TN and Newport, AR before moving back to Florida - where he now lives. During the early 70's the author actually worked from an office in the Memphis Peabody Hotel. So many of the events about the hotel in Carson Reno's stories are real as well as many of the characters you meet. His fiction books are what he calls 'Fiction for Fun'. They use real geography and include pictures and characters some readers might recognize. The 'Carson Reno Mystery Series' features adventure mysteries set in the early 1960 time period. The primary geography is Memphis and West Tennessee, but Carson's stories take the reader across the United States and occasionally to foreign countries. Each story is considered light reading and is rated PG for everyone's enjoyment. You are invited to pick your character and put yourself in the 'play'. You might find it fun! The reader will experience character continuation through all the stories and enjoy the growth of the core characters with each new adventure.
Current published 'Carson Reno Mysteries' include 'Murder in Humboldt', 'The Price of Beauty in Strawberry Land', 'Killer Among Us', 'Horse Tales', 'the Crossing', 'SUnset 4', 'the Everglades', 'The Illegals', 'Dead Men Don't Remember' ,'Fingerprint Murders','Reelfoot', 'Justifiable Homicide', 'Dead End' and ‘Murder and More’. Gerald's non-fiction book 'Don't Wake Me Until It's Time To Go' includes stories and events spanning time from pre-high school to his now retirement in Florida. As an avid hunter and fisherman, many of the events involve activities and stories from his personal outdoor adventures. As a business executive, and extensive traveler, he gives us some playful observations accumulated from the millions of miles he traveled across the US. As someone who loves animals and adventure, he offers thoughts and observations that are probably outside most reader's imagination. Not a 'tell all' narratives, real names and real people are included. If you know the author, you might find yourself - or one of your adventures - included. If not, I'm certain you will find a real familiarity with the stories and the times chronicled in the book. A must read if you enjoy hunting, enjoy humor and can laugh at yourself - while others are also laughing at you.

THE MONK
The Monk Mysteries - (2nd Edition)
Genre: Mystery / Suspense / Action
A Catholic Priest talking about Evil is not unusual. However, a Catholic Priest looking directly into the eyes of "Evil" who the Monk calls "The Ugly" is unusual even for the Capitol Hill area of Denver and St. Benedict the Moor's Church. This is just one of the "Spiritual Tests" the Monk faces as he attempts to solve the murder of Julia Lopez with his ex-Partner Det. Sgt. Jack Laskey.
With political pressure applied by the Governor, the Archbishop of Denver and the Franciscan Provincial, The Monk becomes a "Special Consultant" and helps Laskey solve the "Murder of the Decade" and save Laskey's. Laskey's position was in jeopardy due to his inability to adjust to any Partner other than the Monk. During the course of the investigation the Monk faces the "Ugly" in many forms in the present and confrontations from the past. Those confrontations led the Monk to become a Priest and a "Spiritual Warrior" as well as a "Physical Warrior."
Leaving the and security of "Our Lady of the Rockies" Orphanage run by his Order, the Monk must return to the streets of Denver and find the killers with Laskey. William Yeats Butler known as "The Monk" on Capitol Hill gave up a promising career in the NFL to become a Policeman. He had been an All-American at Notre Dame and was a local Hero and role model in Denver. Through 10 years with Laskey as his Partner, they worked Patrol, Narcotics and Homicide. They were the "Toughest Cops" on the streets of Denver.
In their quest they are assisted by Irish/Japanese Officer Mai Li McDuff. Some would say she got the worst of both cultures. "Peaches" the transvestite hooker. "Popcan Charly" a resident of Cheeseman Park. "Mickey" the restaurant owner with Mob connections and "Frank" the only "Irish English Bulldog" in Colorado. All this under the watchful eyes of Father Ian Timony and Father Augustus O'Shea.

THE SWAMPS OF JERSEY
Genre: Mystery / Thriller

Even in a hurricane, it should have been a simple case to investigate, Ironton, N.J. Frank Nagler thought. Even if the victim was found in a swamp and didn't have a head. Someone would report a wife, sister, daughter, a friend missing. Once the water receded, clues would float up. But then they didn't, and Nagler wondered why. Then it was suggested that his missing girlfriend might be involved, or even the victim. And Nagler wondered why.
That is the story Nagler faces in this first Frank Nagler Mystery, "The Swamps of Jersey."
In the end , the case is personal and draws Nagler down paths on his life he has buried, just as the truth of his investigation into the headless woman is suffocated by cheap and dangerous politics and evil in plain sight.
He has watched his native city crumble economically, be twisted by greed and dirty politics. He wonders who among his friends are now enemies, who is fair and who is cheating. And he wonders when his heart, broken by the death of his young wife, will heal. "The Swamps of Jersey" follows Nagler through the twists of lies and deception. It asks two questions: "Who can he trust?" and "What happens then the crime you are investigating breaks your heart?"

MEET AUTHOR
MIA HARPER

I live in North West England, close to Manchester City.

I’m a bit of an eclectic when it comes to art.

At school I loved to illustrate my English essays and write stories. My teacher made me cringe with embarrassment when she held up my work. I was lucky enough to win a scholarship to art school and loved every moment of it. After receiving an MA in Graphic Design I decided to move to the heady lights of London. During those early days I was flat broke and made endless pots of homemade soup.

For a very short time I trained to become a Chartered accountant and jacked that in when I realized I struggled to balance the books. Then one day I got into computers and never looked back. I spent many years training other professionals in some of the top companies and advertising agencies helping them create magazines, brochures and leaflets. When I returned to the North West I decided to take a break from training others and spend more time developing my own designs.

Unfortunately, both the Soviets and the Germans remember him all too clearly.
Thrown into the mix is Joyce Leader, a beautiful double agent with contacts in both Britain and Germany. If secrets from her past missions fall into the wrong hands, her life may be in jeopardy.
Filled with drama and double-crosses, this suspenseful tale unfolds inside a dangerous web of top secret knowledge and unknowable loyalties. These spies and ex-Nazis can’t help but get further entangled as they seek their own justice for past wrongs.

Meet Author Jenna Newell Hiott

"Sometimes there is no distinction between imagination and reality," Jenna Newell Hiott said with a shrug.
Yeah, she's a little weird like that. And at the same time, she's one of the most down-to-earth and hilarious people you'll ever meet. Jenna boasts of having a limitless imagination, unless it's nap time. While many of us had an imaginary friend as children, Jenna had an entire imaginary family, complete with a second set of parents and three new siblings. One could say she's been writing fantasy fiction since she was old enough to use words. But her wacky imagination doesn't mean she keeps herself locked in a room, communicating only with the people in her mind. She enjoys real people too! "I have a passion for human connection," she says. "This passion led me to study both history and world religions. What I've learned is that when you strip away culture and erase the boundaries of time, we are all the same. The first time I saw a photograph of the fossilized footprints of Laetoli, Africa, I got chills. Here, preserved in mud for more than three million years, was evidence that humans have always loved one another.
