Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When her copy of Cinderella is returned to Annie's Video and Music Hall with what appears to be a snuff film recorded over it, Annie Fillmore's normal life turns into a, well, murder mystery. The police think the "murder" on the tape is just an act; Annie and her best friend, Marilyn Monroe (nee Klotzman), think it's the real deal. The guy who returned the video wants $5k in damages, alleging that his little girl has been traumatized. A competitor's store is firebombed. A parishioner from the local mega-church starts an anti-smut campaign against Annie. Her life, it seems, has taken a turn for the chaotic. Using her "by-the-seat-of-the-pants" methods, Annie pieces together the identity of the dead woman on the tape. But the closer she gets, the more someone seems to want her out of the picture-taking increasingly bold potshots at our heroine. Annie's not alone in her adventure though. Her eccentric mothers (yes, multiple), her friend Marilyn, and the handsome guy she hired to purchase music for her store all help Annie-hilariously. TROUBLE FOR RENT is the second novel (a prequel to the first, BANKING ON TROUBLE) in the Annie Fillmore mystery series that takes place in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Book excerpt: Last November, I found a dead body inside the freezer that my roommate keeps inside the garage. My first thought was to call the police, but Jignesh hadn't paid his share of the rent just yet. It wasn't due until the thirtieth, and you know how difficult it is to find people who pay on time. Jignesh always does. Also, he had season tickets for the LA Opera, and well . . . Madame Butterfly. Tosca. The Flying Dutchman . . . at the Dorothy Chandler . . . you cannot say no to that, can you? Well, it's been a few good months now--Madame Butterfly was just superb, thank you. However, last Friday, I found a second body inside that stupid freezer in the garage. This time I'm evicting Jignesh. My house isn't a mortuary . . . alas, I need to come up with some money first. You'll understand, therefore, that I desperately need to sell this novel. Just enough copies to help me survive until I find a job . . . what could I do that doesn't demand too much effort? We have a real treasure here, anyhow.

After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. One of her relatives was shot. Another was poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more Osage were dying under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.

Download or read book Killing Willis written by Todd Bridges and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-04-03 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The former child star—best known as Willis Jackson on Diff’rent Strokes—shares the shocking but inspirational details of his struggles with addiction, brushes with the law, and fierce fight to carve a path through the darkness and find his true identity. For Todd Bridges early stardom was no protection from painful childhood events that paved the road to his own personal hell. One of the first African-American child actors on shows like Little House on the Prairie, The Waltons, and Roots, Bridges burst to the national forefront on the hit sitcom Diff’rent Strokes as the subject of the popular catchphrase, "What’chu Talkin About Willis?" When the show ended, Bridges was overwhelmed by the off-camera traumas he had faced. Turning to drugs as an escape, he soon lost control. Now, for the first time, Bridges opens up about his life before and after Diff’rent Strokes: the incredible reversals of fortune brought on by fame and the precipitous—and very public—descent that followed; the persecution from police; the drug addiction that nearly consumed him; the criminal charges that almost earned him a life sentence; and his successful legal defense led by Johnnie Cochran. Through it all, Bridges never relented in his quest to fight his way back from the abyss, establish his own identity—separate from Willis Jackson—and offer his ordeal as a positive example for those struggling to overcome similar challenges. His triumphant story of recovery and redemption is recounted here as well. Todd Bridges has lived a life of remarkable twists and turns—from the greatest heights to the lowest lows imaginable. In this shocking but ultimately hopeful memoir, he proves that what he was really talking about was survival.
