Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of A Simple Favor brings her “sly, satirical, subversive” (L.S. Hilton, author of Ultima) prose to a pitch-perfect psychological suspense novel about a young couple whose disintegrating marriage and remote new home in rural, upstate New York make for a terrifying descent into the darker side of human nature. When Emma’s husband, Ben, falls in love with a large Victorian mansion for sale in upstate New York, he swears to her the fixer-upper will be worth the risk. With a baby on the way, Emma would like to live in a charming, safe community, after all—and in a space larger than a one-bedroom New York City apartment. On impulse, she agrees to Ben’s plan and they put in an offer on the house. Sure, the mansion has a somewhat creepy backstory and is a bit dilapidated, but Emma and Ben are in this together, aren’t they? When strange things start happening, Emma begins to experience a little buyer’s remorse. What’s the real history of this house? Is its dark history repeating itself? Why does her husband suddenly seem so distant? Is she in danger? Is her baby? Combining the domestic anxiety of Liane Moriarty and the haunting twists and turns of Shirley Jackson, All I Want is an intensely absorbing novel that will change the way you look at your neighbors.

This book was released on 2023-05-24 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I had my first formal guitar lesson in 1972, in my hometown of Melbourne, Australia, when I was eight years old. Since then, I’ve spoken to Ringo Starr (who gave me a poke in the chest while talking to me), shared photographs backstage with Ringo’s fellow member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Ricky Nelson, and co-wrote and co-produced an album of songs with the multi-award-winning producer, musician, and songwriter, Preston Glass. I wouldn’t have had those opportunities had it not been for the people who’ve helped me navigate my musical journey, and who mean the most to me. My family and friends. I love music. I love making it, I love hearing it, I love feeling it. “Write it down.” I’ve heard that more than a few times from friends and family. “Write a book, Joe.” So I’m giving it a go. And I’d love to share with you some of the stories and events that have allowed me to make a living in music. I’ll bet some of the stories will bring a smile; a few may make you sad. You’ll also probably know some of my friends and family. Maybe not personally, but they’ll remind you of people who’ve helped shape your life, who have helped you realize your dream, as my friends and family have for me. So, are you all set? Good! Allow me the honor. One...two...three...four!

But before his preordained end, Godbody will accomplish something truly miraculous.
