Pop Secrets : Jackie Notter
A fast-paced, edgy escape into a secret world of sexual temptation and liberation.
Thirty-year-old Jackie Notter has had enough of men. After a disastrous marriage, Jackie has a chance encounter with pop sensation Brixton Webber. For the first time in her life, she finally experiences true pleasure. Jackie wants more and Brixton is happy to deliver.
What begins as wild sex turns into a torrid love affair. But they live in completely different worlds, and their age difference complicates matters.
How far will Brixton’s disapproving manager go to keep them apart? Will Jackie’s interloping “was-band” ruin everything? Is Brixton willing to alienate his young and adoring fans for the sake of love, or will Jackie remain his Pop Secret?

The Rise and Decline of the American Empire : Mahmoud Demeri
The United States rose from a modest colonial power to a formidable world superpower, but then it went into decline.
The book traces the major events that allowed a loosely held league of thirteen British colonies to become a union of fifty states spanning the North American Continent as well as Alaska and Hawaii. The nation would revolutionize world arts, science, technology, space exploration, and lead the digital revolution- all while promoting the ideals of democracy, freedom, and liberty.
But it also contributed to global conflicts, a nuclear arms race, political upheavals, and the financial collapse of world markets. To this day, it has failed to live up to its promise of turning economic success and prosperity into social progress.
With more than two hundred charts and tables, this book examines where America has been, what led to its decline, and how a rising budget deficit, soaring health care, and Social Security costs, national security concerns, and miscarriages of social justice pushed it into decline. More importantly, however, it offers ideas and solutions to reverse course before witnessing the Decline of the American Empire.

Taylor’s End : N H Brown
Taylor’s End is a small, sleepy town like countless others sprinkled across rural America; until the police make a gruesome discovery at the rest stop on the outskirts of town. A man has been murdered, and it’s no ordinary killing.
Local Chief of Police, Nick Bremner fervently hopes the murder is an isolated incident, a violent act committed against a lone traveler by some hopped-up hitchhiker who has probably already crossed the state line.
That same day, a stranger arrives in Taylor’s End, a rudderless drifter floating from one town to the next. She seems harmless enough, but she is harboring a dark and menacing secret that she can no longer control.
As the town is gripped by a spate of violent attacks that leave the tight-knit community reeling, will Bremner discover who is responsible before another innocent life is lost? Or will it fall to Connor? The teenage son of the drunken landlord of Webster’s Boarding House and one of the few people who know the frightening truth about their new guest. Can Connor find the courage to stand up and fight back against the evil force threatening to destroy Taylor’s End?
