When saying 'I do' to the love of her life, it didn't matter to Marie that Scott had been married before. But four years later, it's a different story. These days, Marie feels as though Scott sees more of his first wife and their children than he does of her and their energetic toddler. All she wants is for them to be a happy, blended family, but it's not so easy when his ex-wife refuses to let the two families meet. Well, Marie's had enough - there's only so much a woman can take! Now she's setting out to find his ex and prove that she's a decent person who can be trusted with the children. But there's a slight catch: Scott's asked her to let him handle it, so she'll need to be discreet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Thank You for Smoking and Make Russia Great Again comes a comic tour de force, the story of one man’s “lively and funny” (New York Journal of Books) journey through lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, an aging screenwriter is holed up in a coastal South Carolina town with his beloved second wife, Peaches. He’s been binge-eating for a year and developed a notable rapport with the local fast-food chain Hippo King. He struggles to work—on a ludicrous screenplay about a Nazi attempt to kidnap FDR and, naturally, an article for Etymology Today on English words of Carthaginian origin. He’s told Peaches so often about the origins of the word mayonnaise that she’s developed an aversion to using the condiment. He thinks he has Covid. His wife thinks he is losing his mind. In short, your typical pandemic worries. Things were going from bad to worse even before his doctor suggested a battery of brain tests. He knows what that means: dementia! But even in these scary times, there are plenty of things to do to distract him. His iPhone is fat-shaming him. He’s. been trying to read Proust and thinks the French novelist missed his true calling as a parfumier. And he’s discovered nefarious Russian influence on the local coroner’s face. Why is Putin so keen to control who decides who died peacefully and who by foul play in Pimento County. Could it be the local military base? Has Anyone Seen My Toes? is a “laugh-out-loud” (Publishers Weekly) romp through a time that has been anything but funny.

Book excerpt: The entire series is a loose story of a group of people thrown together in 599 AD in a foreign land, Britain. They band together and found leadership in a quirky man named Jeffrey. Jeffrey was an average man of moral ideals, proper wit, and odd behavior who enjoys living life, and the ladies. Jeff’s unsurmountable strength is founded in the need to love others and save lives. The first book, The Beginning, displays how it all began. From the first plop into the 6th Century on forward, our first quest in that of attaining personal safety. As usual, we must fight for survival and now is during the time of the Roman Decline, when pulling troops out of England. We decided to build a castle and have this as our home. Jeffrey was Knighted by King Arthur and became king of the south-west land. We had to defend ourselves against some usual and other mythical and other mysterious beings, including aliens flying pyramids and Zeus and the Greek Gods. We went toe-to-toe with saber-tooth tigers, and creepy, freaky, spastic murderers with claws we called Tweakers, sorry about the profiling. We fought aliens from another planet, some Mexicans too. We fought giant monsters, most of which we did not know about their desire to fight. Mythical creatures came to life. Some of our foes became allies and our population of misfits grew. The King’s most trusted advisors consist of some from Jeff's past and some new people with new characteristics who must bond into the team that may survive the adventures. At every turn, there is a surprise or mystery or smile or death. They are dedicated to hard work and practice. They have vowed to do the next right thing. And they play pretty hard, everywhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: See You at the Top By: Michael R. Willson This is a true story about Dr. Jack Rodgers, Michael R. Willson, and their alliance at the Odessa College to create the Odessa College Men’s Gymnastics program. As the president of Odessa College, Dr. Rodgers decided to drop the men’s college football from the sports program at the college. To put Dr. Rodgers’ decision in perspective, the city of Odessa is the city where the movie Friday Night Lights was filmed. Friday Night Lights is all about Texas high school football—how intense it is; how many Texas state high school championships have come from the city of Odessa, Texas; how many top college recruits have come from the area. Dr. Rodgers’ decision to replace the Odessa college football programs, and to replace it with men’s college gymnastics, was a bold and significant move in the middle of Texas high school football country. And with Willson as head coach, the gambit paid off—with Odessa ranking among the best in their class in college gymnastics from the team’s beginning in 1966.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book is like a dream you want to last forever" (Roberta Silman, The New York Times Book Review), now with a gorgeous new cover by the famed designer Peter Mendelsund A masterwork of W. G. Sebald, now with a gorgeous new cover by the famed designer Peter Mendelsund The Rings of Saturn—with its curious archive of photographs—records a walking tour of the eastern coast of England. A few of the things which cross the path and mind of its narrator (who both is and is not Sebald) are lonely eccentrics, Sir Thomas Browne’s skull, a matchstick model of the Temple of Jerusalem, recession-hit seaside towns, wooded hills, Joseph Conrad, Rembrandt’s "Anatomy Lesson," the natural history of the herring, the massive bombings of WWII, the dowager Empress Tzu Hsi, and the silk industry in Norwich. W.G. Sebald’s The Emigrants (New Directions, 1996) was hailed by Susan Sontag as an "astonishing masterpiece perfect while being unlike any book one has ever read." It was "one of the great books of the last few years," noted Michael Ondaatje, who now acclaims The Rings of Saturn "an even more inventive work than its predecessor, The Emigrants."
