God Plays Favorites by Charlie Carillo, a (secular) literary fiction novel about a newspaper contest and its winners in New York City. This appears to be one of his self-published efforts, but Carillo's 1986 novel,
Shepherd Avenue, which we've also gotten free via KDP in the past, was named one of the American Library Association's Best Books of the Year, and he has written for the New York Post and Huffington Post. Also, we've previously received
two others of his in-print novels as official publisher promo freebies from Kensington Books.
An Ivy League graduate who grew up on Park Avenue takes his first job at the most sensational tabloid newspaper in New York City - and soon finds himself writing promotional stories about a cash giveaway contest intended to keep the paper alive! Jack Stone is not your everyday reporter, and his real education doesn’t begin in earnest until he hooks up with streetwise photographer Vinnie Corcora to do stories about the contest winners - a cast of characters who bring new meaning to "your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” It’s a wild ride that defies expectations and stereotypes, and along the way Jack earns a Ph.D in the human condition - while learning the true meaning of love, loyalty and friendship.
