Product Description
Customer Review: "The writing style, sensitivity to detail, and compelling storytelling are quite amazing!"
Begun in 1959 by a twenty-two-year-old Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary is a brilliantly tangled love story of jealousy, treachery, and violent alcoholic lust in the Caribbean boomtown that was San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the late 1950s.
The narrator, freelance journalist Paul Kemp, irresistibly drawn to a sexy, mysterious woman, is soon thrust into a world where corruption and get-rich-quick schemes rule and anything (including murder) is permissible.
Exuberant and mad, youthful and energetic, this dazzling comedic romp provides a fictional excursion as riveting and outrageous as Thompson’s Fear and Loathing books.

Customer review: "This novel was full of suspense, mystery, romance and lots of action."
The dead of night
The Old West town of Lily, Arizona, is home to the Gilded Lily, a former theater…and bawdy house. These days, it offers theatrical productions geared to tourists, but the recent discovery of a skull, a real skull, among the props and costumes shakes everyone up.
So, who do you call? The Krewe of Hunters, a special FBI unit of paranormal investigators. In this case, it’s agent Jane Everett. Jane’s also a talented artist who creates images of the dead as they once were. But the Krewe always works with local law enforcement, and here that means Sloan Trent, former Houston cop and now sheriff. His great-great-grandmother was an actress at the Gilded Lily…and she’s not resting in peace.
Then more remains appear in the nearby desert. As they search for answers, using all the skills at their disposal, Jane and Sloan find themselves falling into danger—and into love.

Product Description
Customer review: "This is a must-read for anybody who has an interest in the history of gaming and the mob."
In 1970s Las Vegas, a golden age of Glitter Gulch corruption, Dennis Gomes—the youngest division chief in Gaming Control Board history—whipped a ragtag group of auditors into hardened investigators, shattering clichés about milquetoast accountant cops and battling the Mafia in garish pleasure pits, smoke-filled back rooms, and a high desert where snitches were bloodied and buried. Gomes capped off his tenure with the famous bust of the Stardust skim, portrayed in the book and movie Casino.
Hit Me! chronicles midnight raids, heart-rending showgirl romances, deadly double-crosses, and a roll call of gangster lore that includes Anthony “The Ant” Spilotro, Allen Glick, Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal, George Jay Vandermark, and Joey “The Clown” Lombardo. But no matter how much evidence Gomes uncovered, or how many witnesses and informants suddenly vanished, he was swept aside by a crooked political system.
It took nearly three decades, but in 2007 Gomes settled all scores as a key prosecutorial witness at the Family Secrets Trial—the justice system finally taking out a “hit” on the mob. Hit Me! is Gomes’s crime-fighting story, as prepared with his daughter, coauthor Danielle Gomes.
Dennis Gomes, whose long gaming industry career—including operating Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City—made him a casino legend, passed away in February 2012. He was posthumously inducted into the Gaming Hall of Fame in October 2012.

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up
A small-town boy hops a bus to New York City to crash an audition for E.T.: The Musical.
Nate Foster has big dreams. His whole life, he’s wanted to star in a Broadway show. (Heck, he’d settle for seeing a Broadway show.) But how is Nate supposed to make his dreams come true when he’s stuck in Jankburg, Pennsylvania, where no one (except his best pal Libby) appreciates a good show tune? With Libby’s help, Nate plans a daring overnight escape to New York. There’s an open casting call for E.T.: The Musical, and Nate knows this could be the difference between small-town blues and big-time stardom.
Tim Federle writes a warm and witty debut that’s full of broken curfews, second chances, and the adventure of growing up—because sometimes you have to get four hundred miles from your backyard to finally feel at home.
