Rookie private detective, Jack Hammer (no relation to Mike) is hired by an attractive, Eastern European refugee to track down her missing uncle. Slow to engage, Jack assumes the uncle is simply off on a bender at the local pool hall...until he discovers that somebody has broken into her house, beaten her to a pulp, and left her body floating fully clothed in her own bathtub.

An unsigned note demands the delivery of a mysterious device that bears the name of the missing uncle, and although Jack has no clue what the device could be, the life of a second unnamed female now hangs in the balance.

What is this mysterious device? And who is the lady they’re threatening? And how is it all connected to his dead client?

Pursuing his only clue, Jack desperately searches for the uncle in the basement pool halls and cafes of post-World War II Salt Lake City, but as time runs down, he makes a bombshell discovery—a revelation that only pulls him deeper into a shadowy mix of Russian spies, FBI obstruction, and quite possibly the best idea that Nikola Tesla ever had.

NEVER JUDGE A CROOK BY HER COVER.

Julep Dupree tells lies. A lot of them. She’s a con artist, a master of disguise, and a sophomore at Chicago’s swanky St. Agatha High, where her father, an old-school grifter with a weakness for the ponies, sends her so she can learn to mingle with the upper crust. For extra spending money, Julep runs petty scams for her classmates while dodging the dean of students and maintaining an A+ (okay, A-) average. She's a fixer, and she's good at it. But it's not what she wants. And soon, she'll hang up her grifter skills for good.

But when she comes home one day to a ransacked apartment and her father missing, Julep’s carefully laid plans for going straight start to unravel. Even with help from St. Agatha’s resident Prince Charming, Tyler Richland, and her loyal hacker, Sam, Julep struggles to trace her dad’s trail of clues through a maze of creepy stalkers, hit attempts, family secrets, and worse, the threat of foster care. With her literal life at stake, Julep will need to use every grift in the book to find and save her dad before his mark finds—and eliminates—her.

Fans of Ally Carter's Heist Society novels will love this teen mystery/thriller with sarcastic wit, a hint of romance, and Ocean’s Eleven–inspired action.

Will Julep outsmart her enemies and find her father? Or is she too late?

You will laugh and cry when you listen to how Patti Smith lovingly and honestly reveals transformative lessons gleaned from forty-plus years of caring for (and being tutored by) her son, Christopher. His diagnosis as a baby with Down Syndrome at first tilted her world off-axis, only to reveal itself to be the thing that actually set her worldview at the exact right angle.

In an inspirational and heartwarming manner, Patti explains how her life was changed for the better in profound ways.

With her son as her master teacher, Patti learned to see life through his perspective and discover the joy in situations requiring her to dig deeply into her own psyche to identify beliefs needing adjustment. She shares the way she changes with vulnerability and light-heartedness, while giving credit to her clever son who is respectfully referred to as her own Professor Higgins.

This book is not just a book about how to raise a child with Down Syndrome, but an inspiring and humorous reflection of parenting and relationships in general.

Magic isn't the only thing he inherited!

Trick rider in a traveling circus, seventeen-year-old Vandemere (Vandy) Petruska is caught between two worlds. As Vandy Davidson, he lives the legacy of the father who abandoned him, performing on his beloved horses in the circus ring. But he’s also his Romanian mother’s son. As Vandy Petruska, he seeks to deny the tarot magie his mother has gifted to him. But as the magie’s power over him grows stronger, he becomes aware that the bad luck in his life isn’t an accident. When his Romanian ancestors immigrated to America on the back of a trick horse, they brought something with them. Something evil. Now this evil is attacking him, and Vandy will have to learn to accept his mother’s magie if he is ever going to defeat the entity that has marked him for death.

Set against the harsh and unforgiving landscape of the 1930s American Southwest, Vandemere is a lyrical coming-of-age story that infuses magical realism into a young man’s journey towards manhood.

Vandemere is part one of a duology and the first book in the series. For the best experience, the author suggests reading Vandemere first. Fire Horse is the second book of the duology. It is possible to enjoy the books out of sequence but not recommended.

This book is a gritty depiction of life in the 1930s American Southwest. It contains violence, coarse language, self-harm, and sexual situations. Some of its darker themes may be triggering to sensitive listeners. Please use discretion when deciding if this book is right for you.

A great artist of the 17th century meets his superfan from another century in a tale of passion transforming into true love and sacrifice....

If young, ambitious art historian May Gold could talk to one person about her life, she’d ask her idol, Italian sculptor Gianlorenzo Bernini. The question she’d put to him: "If I were trapped in stone, how would you chisel me free?” Because at just twenty-six, May is already trapped in a dead-end college teaching job and a slowly failing love affair. She yearns to fly free of both job and boyfriend, though he’s the one who has brought her to Italy with their teaching colleagues. May longs to soar with creative wings, like one of Bernini’s marble angels. Secretly, she also longs to be in his arms, the wildly adored partner of the man who created the world’s most beautiful art.

When the floor under the gilded dome of St. Peter's basilica rocks under her feet, May finds herself in the year 1624, staring straight into Gianlorenzo's eyes. Their immediate attraction grows each time she meets him during her tour, but her academic future begins to look brighter too. Passion for her artist shakes her to the core, but history says they have no future. Would she give up everything, even the time in which she lives, to be with her soul mate?

A captivating love story illuminating love’s enduring truth and the timeless power of beauty to uplift us. Perfect for lovers of art, Italy, and time travel romance.

This is the true story of Jacqueline, one of the most glamorous women in Europe, pre-World War II, a gorgeous, red-haired, temperamental Parisian music hall star who married Kurt Laurentius, from a prominent Berlin family dominant in the German silk trade, an industry that, due to the use of silk in parachutes, would become tied to the world-wide ambitions of Adolph Hitler.

This is the story of their life together, Jacqueline, a woman of intense will and hauteur, and Kurt, handsome, hard-working and very anti-Nazi, whose life and health will be destroyed by the war—and Jacqueline's determination to save the life of their only child, Christiane, an ugly duckling daughter who would one day inherit Jacqueline's will, looks, and indominable sense of style.

This is a story of intense mother-daughter bonding, during the worst of times. It is a harrowing story of sheer survival against all odds, with an amazing, intense love in the middle of it. To the list of glamorous women during the World War II period that included Wallis Warfield Simpson, Rita Hayworth, and Marlene Dietrich, must be added the name of Jacqueline Laurentius, in this compelling story of love and survival in the hellfire of World War II, as candidly told by her daughter, Christiane Germain.

This is a spectacular true story of love against all odds-- a marriage between a glamorous, head-strong, fiery-tempered French dancer and music hall star and her handsome, stoic, dignified German husband from an old Berlin family, set in the horrors of Berlin and Europe during World War II. It is a true story, but reads like a novel. Jacqueline Laurentius will do anything to feed and save the life of her only child and daughter, Christiane, as well as that of her husband, Kurt, whom she loves-- including sleeping with the enemy, stealing food, and performing whenever possible. She does all this with total assurance, aplomb, and hauteur. The story of her life is a role that would make most movie stars salivate, and it's all true. This is a read that's hard to put down. This story mixes hair-raising dangers and deprivations with sheer star-power glamour. Women like Jacqueline Laurentius do not come around very often, and neither do stories like hers and her daughter Christiane Germain who wrote this compelling book about her life as a child, a teenager, and an adult who can finally stand on her own in the amazing presence of her mother.

What’s meant to be will always find a way.

Perfection isn’t an illusion.

I met it, held it in my hands.

But then it slipped right through.

Perfection isn’t an illusion.

It’s elusive, cleverly evasive, and, in many ways, a horrible tease.

I’m not a man to be toyed with.

Quiet, thoughtful, and even sometimes careful....

But never someone to taunt.

Even the most controlled men have a breaking point.

I just met mine.

Why mess with perfection?

You don’t.

Unless perfection messes with you.

This is book 6 in the GearShark series and is not a standalone.
