Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postbellum America makes for a haunting backdrop in this historical and supernatural tale of moonlit cemeteries, masked balls, cunning mediums, and terrifying secrets waiting to be unearthed by an intrepid crime reporter. Edward Clark is a successful young crime reporter in comfortable circumstances with a lovely, well-connected fiancée. Then an assignment to write a series of exposés on the city’s mediums places all that in jeopardy. In the Philadelphia of 1869, photographs of Civil War dead adorn dim sitting rooms, and grieving families attempt to contact their lost loved ones. Edward’s investigation of the beautiful young medium Lucy Collins has unintended consequences, however. He uncovers her tricks, but realizes to his dismay that Lucy is more talented at blackmail than she is at a medium’s sleights of hand. And since Edward has a hidden past, he reluctantly agrees that they should collaborate in exposing only her rivals. The mysterious murder of noted medium Lenora Grimes Pastor as Lucy and Edward attend her séance results in a plum story for Edward—and a great deal more. The pair want to clear themselves from suspicion, but a search spanning the houses of the wealthy to the underside of nineteenth-century Philadelphia unearths a buzzing beehive of past murder, current danger, and supernatural occurrences that cannot be explained…

Book excerpt: “Essential reading for every runner.” —Men’s Fitness “Compelling…As becomes clear not long after its starting gun, this book transcends the search for a two-hour marathon.” —The Washington Post Two hours to cover twenty-six miles and 385 yards. It is running’s Everest, a feat once seen as impossible for the human body. But now we can glimpse the mountaintop. The sub-two hour marathon will require an exceptional combination of speed, mental strength, and endurance. The pioneer will have to endure more, live braver, plan better, and be luckier than anyone who has run before. So who will it be? In this spellbinding book, journalist Ed Caesar takes us into the world of elite marathoners: some of the greatest runners on earth. Through the stories of these rich characters, like Kenyan Geoffrey Mutai, around whom the narrative is built, Caesar traces the history of the marathon as well as the science, physiology, and psychology involved in running so fast for so long. And he shows us why this most democratic of races retains its brutal, enthralling appeal—and why we are drawn to test ourselves to the limit. Two Hours is a book about a beautiful sport few people understand. It takes us from big-money races in the United States and Europe to remote villages in Kenya. It’s about talent, heroism, and refusing to accept defeat. It is a book about running that is about much more than running. It is a human drama like no other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents want to give their children everything––a nice house, cool clothes, good food. They do everything they can to make their babies happy and healthy, but what if they don’t? What if they can’t? What happens to the poor child if one of you, one parent, suddenly disappears? Or what if you were never really there at all? Recognizing the emotional and psychological effects of growing up without a Dad can be hard. Getting inside the mind, heart, and soul of a young boy is even harder. For Barry, the challenges, disappointments, heartbreak, and difficult lessons he faced without a father figure made him into the man he is today, but that doesn’t mean his journey to adulthood has been an easy one. Trust me. My name is Barry Finn, and this is my story. I spent nearly all of my childhood not knowing the true identity of my biological father. For the first 21 years of my life, my family deceived me and told me my father was someone else, someone I’d thought was close to me. It wasn’t until I turned 22 that I learned my real family history and began to unpack the trauma I had experienced as a kid. After getting adopted, finding a wife, and facing my family’s lies, I spent the next few years of my life trying to track down my biological father, desperate to learn more about myself and where, and who, my dad really was. Little did I know that I was entering one of the most arduous, heartbreaking, and rewarding adventures of my life.
