Book excerpt: Tom is meeting Claire, the love of his life, at a motel. He hopes she’s finally ready to commit after years of a stormy on-again, off-again romance. As a former university football player at the top of his class, he thought that he’d be married with a thriving career by age thirty. But so far he’s zero for two, and he wonders if the bad things he did in the past are finally catching up with him. Jacqueline is “celebrating” her one-year anniversary with the boyfriend who she’s been trying to dump for the past 365 days. She’s also pregnant with his baby. She knows she’s not ready to be a mother at age twenty-two. Still scarred by her parents’ divorce and her struggles in high school, she has never been more confused about her future. Richard is in town for his daughter’s convocation. At fifty-eight, his health is as poor as his relationships with his semi-estranged wife and pothead son. But he can’t bring himself to be honest with his family about the past that haunts him every day of his life, including the true cause of the accident that claimed his left leg. Gus, a chatty eighty-six-year-old local, is the tie that binds these three strangers together, leading to a breakfast that none of them will ever forget . . .

Download or read book The Vulture written by Frederick Ramsay and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marry new technology to old-fashioned policing and you've got something special. The car is found just outside Picketsville, Virginia, a smoking ruin of twisted metal and shattered glass. It takes only a glance to confirm that this is Ike Schwartz's car. Ever since he left the CIA, the incorruptible Picketsville sheriff has made enemies at home and abroad. Now, one has caught up with him, with a bomb powerful enough to turn quiet Main Street into a smoking crater. Is this a cop killing—or domestic terrorism? The town plunges into mourning, and Ike's wife Ruth, the president of the local college, puts on a brave face as the sheriff's department organizes a manhunt, the likes of which Picketsville has never seen. Back at the CIA, Ike's old colleague Charlie Garland joins the hunt, becoming fixated on a blurry videotape of the crime scene. Charlie's elastic job description includes monitoring Ike's life. Investigations—led by more than one player—fan around and out of Picketsville as far as a small town in Idaho where Martin Pangborn, head of the radical militia called the Fifty-First Star, runs his organization. If some banks and businesses are too big to fail, are some people too deeply connected or too wealthy to bring to justice? Is Martin Pangborn such a person? The Fifty-First Star's tentacles run long and deep. But the Vulture is something no one, not even Martin Pangborn, is prepared for. "Surefooted prose speeds this well-told tale of greed and betrayal among the nation's covert elite." —Publishers Weekly on the 9th Ike Schwartz mystery, Drowning Barbie.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dive into this fun and quirky Urban Fantasy novel that draws from Asian mythology! If I tell you that I have magic, you’re probably going to expect all kinds of fancy things, like fire balls or maybe some kind of badass demon slaying assassin. Yeah, that’s not me. I’m a barber to the supernatural because my magic is too weak and weird to do anything else. So why have the fae asked me to look after one of their eggs—the most precious thing in the world to a fae—when I’m so vastly under qualified? Either they’ve taken leave of their senses, or they’re seriously desperate. And if the fae are desperate, that means that with my weak magic, I’m utterly out of my depth. Oh, and my backup is a sarcastic cat, which doesn’t come in handy when I find myself facing off against a very old, very powerful magical creature who’s after the egg. The damn cat scampers off and I’m left with nothing more than my piddly magic and my wits to get myself out of this mess. That’s the thing about the magical underworld of Panong—it might be dangerous and complicated, but at least it’s never dull.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving (releasing June 24, 2016 as a Netflix Original Film titled The Fundamentals of Caring, starring Paul Rudd and Selena Gomez), Jonathan Evison, author of the new novel This Is Your Life, Harriet Chance! and the New York Times bestseller West of Here, has crafted a novel of the heart, a story of unlikely heroes in a grand American landscape. For Ben Benjamin, all has been lost--his wife, his family, his home, his livelihood. Hoping to find a new direction, he enrolls in a night class called The Fundamentals of Caregiving, where he will learn to take care of people with disabilities. He is instructed about professionalism, about how to keep an emotional distance between client and provider, and about the art of inserting catheters while avoiding liability. But when Ben is assigned his first client--a tyrannical nineteen-year-old boy named Trevor, who is in the advanced stages of Duchenne muscular dystrophy--he soon discovers that the endless service checklists have done nothing to prepare him for the reality of caring for a fiercely stubborn, sexually frustrated teenager who has an ax to grind with the whole world. Over time, the relationship between Ben and Trev, which had begun with mutual misgivings, evolves into a close friendship, and the traditional boundaries between patient and caregiver begin to blur. The bond between them strengthens as they embark on a road trip to visit Trev’s ailing father--a journey rerouted by a series of bizarre roadside attractions that propel them into an impulsive adventure disrupted by one birth, two arrests, a freakish dust storm, and a six-hundred-mile cat-and-mouse pursuit by a mysterious brown Buick Skylark. By the end of that journey, Trev has had his first taste of love, and Ben has found a new reason to love life. Bursting with energy and filled with moments of absolute beauty, this big-hearted and inspired novel ponders life’s terrible surprises as well as what it takes to truly care for another human being.

Download or read book Notes from a Lost Tribe written by Declan Lynch and published by Hachette Ireland. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Declan Lynch and Arthur Mathews first shone a light into this darkest corner of the darkest living room in all of Ireland over a decade ago, things have actually got worse for that almost-forgotten species we call the Poor Ould Fellas - impossible though it seems. Further confined to their unhappy dwelling places by the drink driving laws, a new range of challenges have emerged to torment them in a baffling post-analog world, where emails release them from the few shillings they had left in the world, that weren't stolen by bankers during the crash. Now they must negotiate a universe full of new words (falafel, bitcoin, Spotify) and concepts (texting, sexting, going away for the weekend, composing a tweet, growing a beard, online banking,) that mean absolutely nothing to them. Notes from a Lost Tribe is a hilarious road map through a world of forgotten men and their equally forgotten dogs, who ask for so little - yet it is denied them. And still...somehow...inexplicably...they go on.
