Book excerpt: WHEN OPPOSITES ATTRACT… John LeDeux is the wildest guy on Louisiana bayou. Even his infamous aunt, Tante Lulu, agrees. But now he’s a respected police detective who must fall back on his wilder days to investigate a crime syndicate's control of a Baton Rouge sex club. However, the last thing John expects is some nosy reporter screwing up his bust by dressing like a high-class Bourbon Street hooker and then writing an article calling him the “Sex Cop.” SPARKS WILL FLY… Single parent Celine Arseneux is raising a five-year-old son and proud of her award-winning work as a journalist. What she doesn’t need is a full-of-himself, sex-on-the-hoof Cajun bad boy distracting her from what could be the scoop of the century. Besides, if he gets too close, he might uncover her secret. BUT A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE SWAMP… Forced to hide out until the sex club case goes to trial, John distracts himself with a treasure-hunting company, looking for buried pirate gold. Of course, who else should be assigned to do a feature story on treasure hunting than his not-so-favorite journalist, Celine? Adding to the steamy heat and gators and snakes big as telephone poles, there's the matchmaking Tante Lulu, an ex-Amish Navy SEAL, a professional poker-playing nun, a Cuban professor, and a female NASCAR mechanic. What can a guy and gal do but laugh and surrender to the magic of a destined love?

Download or read book Me and Jinx written by Skeet Will and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1884, young Johnny Fry and his little black cat, Jinx, set out on a trip he has dreamed of all his life. It doesn't take him long to realize the ride on the Pony Express Trail, where his father had ridden many years before, is nothing like his childhood imaginings. Along the way he meets robbers, drunks and killers who force him to defend both himself and his 'little buddy', if he wants to get where he's going alive and in one piece. Fortunately, he makes some friends as he travels. Handy, a big, blue-eyed, broad-shouldered Swede fresh off the farm who joins him in Nebraska, and George Washington Moore, Wash to his friends, an ex-slave and former Buffalo Soldier turned mountain-man, seeking the freedom he never seems to get enough of. Together the four of them (don't forget Jinx) travel a perilous, treacherous path through the mountains of Wyoming and Utah and across the deserts and mountains of Nevada and California toward his future. Among his fortunes and misfortunes: an accident puts him in a hospital for two months where he meets a wonderful red-headed nurse, who's a survivor of the Mountain Meadows Massacre; he is twice forced to defend himself from a man who wants to reclaim something Johnny doesn't even know he has; and he has a confrontation with a gunman who wants revenge for a brother who got what he deserved. The West of 1884 was still the wild and beautiful place of legends. Billy the Kid and Jessie James were not long in their graves; Wyatt and Virgil Earp were alive and living in California; and the Texas to Kansas cattle drives were still alive in the memories of many. Surrounded by the perils and beauty of the Old West, Johnny must become a man because it's that or die.

Download or read book Double Jinx written by Nancy Reddy and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Dark narratives about femininity . . . Reddy channels the vibe and energy of Plath and Sexton, but it’s her arresting language that’s the real draw here.” —Publishers Weekly Double Jinx follows the multiple transformations—both figurative and literal—that accompany adolescence and adulthood, particularly for young women. Drawing inspiration from sources as varied as Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the rewritten fairy tales in Anne Sexton’s Transformations, and the wild and shifting dreamscapes of Brigit Pegeen Kelly’s work, these poems track speakers attempting to construct identity. A series of poems depict the character of Nancy Drew as she delves into an obsession with a doppelgänger. Cinderella wakes up to a pumpkin and a tattered dress after her prince grows tired of her. A young girl obsessed with fairy tales becomes fascinated with a copy of Grey’s Anatomy in which she finds a “pink girl pinned to the page as if in vivisection. Could she / be pink inside like that? No decent girl / would go around the world like that, uncooked.” The collection culminates in an understanding of the ways we construct ourselves, whether it be by way of imitation, performance, and/or transformation. And it looks forward as well, for in coming to understand our identities as essentially malleable, we are liberated. Or as the author writes, “we’ll be our own gods now.” “Exquisitely crafted poems . . . an exploration of woman’s manifold selves.” —Rebecca Dunham, author of Cold Pastoral

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tranquility, New Jersey’s amateur drama troupe is staging a murder mystery at St. Winifred’s Academy and Alberta Scaglione couldn’t be more thrilled. Even her Italian-American famiglia are getting in on the act. But someone’s making deadly revisions to the script . . . Alberta can hardly believe it. Her childhood screen idol, 1950s Hollywood starlet Missy Michaels, has signed up for the local Tranquility Players revival of the classic Arsenic and Old Lace. But before Missy memorizes a single line, she’s found dead in her dressing room wrapped in lace and clutching a bottle of arsenic. The ultimate drama-queen suicide? Everyone thinks so—except Alberta. A Ferrara woman knows murder when she sees it. Alberta also knows producer Nola Kirkpatrick’s checkered past: whenever she’s around, trouble abounds. Alberta and her crime-reporting partner-in-sleuthing granddaughter, Jinx, have a hunch the murderer is among the Players. So Alberta joins the cast—reluctantly playing Missy’s role—to get closer to the truth. She notices the director is a little unbalanced, but aren’t they all? The leading man is a wildly obsessive Missy Michaels fanboy—but a murderer? Of course, the show must go on. But if Alberta and Jinx can’t nab the killer before opening night, it may mean curtains for more Players . . . including Alberta. Includes Italian recipes from Alberta’s kitchen! “Imagine the Golden Girls starting a detective agency and you’ll get the general idea of J.D. Griffo’s charming Ferrara Family mystery series.” —Criminal Element
