Book excerpt: Eye of Irene depicts the adventures of senior citizens who refuse to evacuate Atlantic County during Hurricane Irene in 2011 and how they and the young interlopers who take refuge in their building are impacted by each other. The old folks look backward while wishing for a redo; the young folks seek a crystal ball view. Through a series of mishaps, they meet at the midpoint of their not-so-differing perspectives. The five college-age adults who were kicked out of the Tropicana Hotel, which closed its doors in preparation for the storm, sneak into The Empire condominiums, where they try to avoid detection from the seniors they deem as past their prime. Amidst the frightening sounds of the storm outside, the fun-seekers inside eavesdrop on The Empire residents who, under the threat of potential disaster, search for meaning by confessing intimate secrets and regrets. The behind-the-scene youths gradually absorb bits of wisdom from these aging but experienced grownups. Eye of Irene goes deeper than traditional tales of young people who live "happily-ever-after." With stories about old people, you don't have to guess how the story ends. You travel to yesteryear and beyond to the "ever after" of "happily-ever-after."

To dead people. Life gets complicated for Jane and her Death Diva business when she’s hired to liberate a gaudy mermaid brooch from the corpse during a wake—on behalf of the rightful owner, supposedly. Well, a girl’s got to make a living, and this assignment pays better than scattering ashes, placing flowers on graves, or bawling her eyes out as a hired mourner. Unfortunately for Jane, someone else is just as eager to get his hands on that brooch, and he’s even sneakier than she is, not to mention dangerously sexy. Just when she thinks her biggest problem is grand theft mermaid, things take a murderous turn. But hey, when you’ve teamed up with a neurotic seven-pound poodle named Sexy Beast, how can you go wrong?

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of The Search for the Green River Killer: The account of the family tragedy that became one of California’s most shocking murder cases. On a picturesque street in Sacramento County, California, three healthy saplings stand side by side. But what they symbolize are the deaths of three innocent people—two of them children. The man who took their lives, then planted trees in their honor, was their own husband and father. Hearts went out to Jack Barron when his wife, Irene, died mysteriously in her sleep. Soon after, his two young children were also found dead in their beds. Barron claimed they suffered from the same rare genetic disorder as their mother. But when his fifty-two-year-old mother died, also of asphyxiation in her sleep, law enforcement officials finally took action: The fatal pattern was impossible to ignore. Was this “devoted” father really a heartless murderer? Did he suffer from a bizarre syndrome known as Munchausen by proxy, whereby a parent kills a child to gain sympathy? With firsthand interviews and exclusive inside information, author Carlton Smith paints a chilling portrait of a man driven to commit the most unspeakable of acts.

Book excerpt: Meet the Oblivion Brothers, Zip and Otto. Boyhood friends raised on television's hypnotic glow and intangible promises,they set off from the heartland, following its siren song to the source: Los Angeles. Now they work in the entertainment industry, producing what once dazzled their young eyes. But today's Hollywood has the accent firmly on the industry and not the entertainment. Glamour and glitz have turned to cubicles and fluorescent lights as the industry swells past any hope of quality control. But for Zip and Otto, inside the machine churning out anything to fill the technicolor veins of the viewing public, the sparkles fade from everything and are replaced by the smeared fingerprints of Man. That is, until Zip hears another song, this one poured from the lips of Irene Mathy, musician and awestruck visitor to Los Angeles. With the world suddenly dazzling again, Zip stumbles off after the twinkling lights. Otto, too, strikes out on his own, making a push for career success in the fields of nepotism and egoism of television production. But with the Brothers divided, will they be strong enough to handle a fate worse than oblivion? Deuced is a story of relationships;the ones we have with each other,the ones we have with the world around us and the ones we have with ourselves. It's about the frustrating discrepancy between theory and practice, the awful toll Man pays for his self-awareness and how we all try to get by. And how, in the end, we're all deuced.

Book excerpt: NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE LA TMES AND LIT HUB The discovery of a secret garden with unknown powers fuels this page-turning and psychologically thrilling tale of women yearning to become mothers and the ways the female body has always been policed and manipulated, from the award-winning author of The Illness Lesson (“A masterpiece” – Elizabeth Gilbert) In 1948, Irene Willard, who’s had five previous miscarriages in a quest to give her beloved husband the child he desperately desires and is now pregnant again, comes to an isolated house-cum-hospital in the Berkshires, run by a husband-and-wife team of doctors who are pioneering a cure for her condition. Warily, she enlists herself in the efforts of the Doctors Hall to “rectify the maternal environment,” both physical and psychological. In the meantime, she also discovers a long-forgotten walled garden on the spacious grounds, a place imbued with its own powers and pulls. As the doctors’ plans begin to crumble, Irene and her fellow patients make a desperate bid to harness the power of the garden for themselves—and must face the incalculable risks associated with such incalculable rewards. With shades of Shirley Jackson and Rosemary's Baby, The Garden delves into the territory of motherhood, childbirth, the mysteries of the female body, and the ways it has always been controlled and corralled.
