The Gem Connection : Michael R. Lane
Clinton Windell is brutally murdered in his Southwest Hills mansion and robbed of twenty million dollars in uncut gems. A well-connected, anonymous client hires ex-DEA agent turned Private Investigator C. J. Cavanaugh and his junior partner, Renita Harris, to root out the Windell murderers.
There’s only one catch. C. J. and his partner must not reveal to anyone that they are involved. To complicate matters further, C. J. and Renita must deceive Cavanaugh’s lover and dogged Homicide Detective Destini Pendleton, who is assigned to head the high-profile investigation. When Mrs. Windell becomes the prime suspect in her husband’s murder, C. J. and Renita find themselves boxed in.
Between the killers, Detective Pendleton, and their omnipotent and ominous mystery client, C. J. has to utilize all of his cunning and training to keep him and his partner out of prison or the morgue long enough to capture the killers.

The Stone Shield : Jonas I. Marquez
Sage is a young elf whose visions about a human girl lead her on a quest where she makes huge discoveries about herself. She soon learns that her place in the world is much more complicated than she ever realized. The journey pairs her with her neurodiverse adopted brother, her intense foster mother, and her best friend, a lone wolf.
Along the journey, she meets new people, finds love, and learns she has special powers she got from her father, her real father, not the person she believed to be her father. All while trying to avoid genocide at the hands of the Red Hand, a religious cult bent on eliminating all non-human races from the world. Can she find a place in the world where all races are accepted before it’s too late?
The Stone Shield touches on many ideas important to our times that are embedded in this fantasy story. For instance, this is not a book about mental health, but mental health plays a huge role in its characters. Just like in life, the topics it touches upon are a part of all of our daily lives. This is a book about a bunch of outcasts who come together, to find belonging, trust, love, and a fierce sense that “We protect those we love!”
A Man Walks into a Bank : Lucky Stevens
Can the last novel you read tick these boxes?
- Entertaining
- Annotated for your pleasure
- Humorous
- It was the literary equivalent of a well-prepared steak—or celery, if you’re vegan
- It was written by a humble man whose only goal in life is to bring joy to others
A Man Walks into a Bank offers all of these things, plus a lifetime of ecstatic joy and happiness. Guaranteed.*
Ellis Coldwater is a pretty easy-going bank robber. Wendy Larkin is a pretty woman—a little shy, a little nervous, and a little married. What happens when these two get together “on the job?” Whose recipe for living life will lead to the most happiness, the most laughter, and the least amount of jail time?
Our tale jumps in from page one as this novel adroitly rolls up its sleeve to expose the funny bone of crime, love, right, wrong, the pursuit of money, happiness, the vagaries of humanity that gives life meaning, and the dicey world of run-on sentences that somehow make perfect sense in the end.
If you enjoy Donald Westlake and/or P.G. Wodehouse, you will love A Man Walks into a Bank. If you enjoy their writing, even better.
Get the book that some of America is talking about. Available now wherever fine and the other kinds of books are sold. Pick up your copy today. You’ll be glad you did.
“With colorful characters and a completely unpredictable plot, Stevens’ tale draws you in, immersing you with clever twists and turns, and keeping you entertained all the way through with witty dialogue and some truly laugh-out-loud scenes”–Readers’ Favorite

Flesh Puppets (Stepping Stones 2): Alex Harbinger
“Stepping Stones” follows survivors in a post-apocalyptic world plagued by deadly creatures. A thin layer of fog hovers a few stories off the ground, encompassing the world and creating a killing field for the monsters known as dwellers. Unable to pass up through the mist, they lurk in the overcast netherworld, waiting for the remnants of humanity to risk venturing below from their encampments above the clouds. With the streets no longer safe, buildings themselves have become stepping stones to travel over the lurking evil.
Flesh Puppets:
It has been a few months since Rex’s confrontations with Bathory and Vlad. Having recuperated her strength, she is now ready to focus on her next target, an alpha that hides in the shadows better than any other: Mary.
Miles from civilization, the elusive dweller lies in wait. However, the branches of this evil are far easier to find than their roots. With help from a previous acquaintance, Kaleb Isaacs, as well as his team of hunters, Rex becomes ensnared in a downward spiral of manipulated human corpses, dweller hybrids, and a beast of terrifying power.
From cloud-covered streets to labyrinths of tunnels and a town forever cast in darkness, Mary seems to be a coward who attacks only from a distance. However, Rex will soon find that her white whale, Inferno, may not be in a league all his own.

Stepson to the Mob : Marc Bradley
From the time I was old enough to form my first memory, my childhood was already headed down the inevitable path of dysfunction. With divorce in the books and a new man in the house, these events actually turned out to be the easy part. The hard part was absolutely everything else that followed.
From the depths of addiction to the height of recovery. From a life-threatening diagnosis to the ultimate loss of a lifetime, my story will take you through a journey of one mother’s love for her two young boys and the relentless courage to protect us, at any cost, from the very danger that she unwittingly had a hand in creating. It was a danger that would force us to disappear without a trace, from the only home we ever knew to a small town that no one could even pronounce. And as our lives were so quickly being turned upside down, all reasons for this upheaval could only point to one thing: the new man in the house.
As the secrets began to pile up, there seemed to be far more questions than answers. The pressure to keep these secrets from us would inevitably take its toll, and by the time the truth was finally revealed, the emotional damage had already been done.
No matter what degree of dysfunction that was dealt to us, as two innocent boys from Chicago, thanks to our mother’s unwavering love, we always had one thing to hold on to—hope. The hope of a second chance. The hope of a fresh start. The hope of a better ending to our story than the tragic beginning we were so unfairly given.
From a very young age, I always knew my life was far from normal. There was just something about it that stood out, something that always had me wondering if everything I was experiencing was really what it seemed. And it was that mysterious “something” that would eventually reveal itself and change the course of my life forever.
