The world sees the portals as an invasion. For Lysa, they’re an invitation.
The portals appeared without warning. Every thirteen minutes they take a thousand humans, leaving exact duplicates in their place. Now, chaos reigns and no one is sure anyone is still the person they knew. Whoever is sending the portals has destroyed human society without firing a shot.
Not everyone thinks the portals are a prelude to invasion. Lysa, a student far too bright for her own good, believes the portals might even be something wonderful. There must be a logical reason for the portals, and that means something alive and thinking on the other side of those shimmering holes in our reality. Her burning curiosity leads her to do the unthinkable; she leaps through a portal meant for another.
What she finds is a galaxy teeming with life, worlds beyond imagining, and two terrible truths: Earth is in danger, and the portals are a one-way trip. Stranded in an alien civilization, Lysa will have to use her ingenuity to find a way home and warn Earth before it’s too late.

Informal Poll: What Are YOU Reading on Your Kindle?
For several years, I started or participated in a monthly poll on the USA Amazon Kindle discussion boards asking people a simple question: what are you reading on your Kindle? Unfortunately, the discussion boards on Amazon have gone away and I have periodically hosted something similar on our website.
I’ve received some great tips with past polls, finding out what others are reading on their Kindle, and found some “new” authors I generally wouldn’t have found using my hunt-and-peck method. While I have certainly enjoyed the “mainstream” author suggestions over the years, I’ve also enjoyed a lot of independent authors from each month’s poll I never would have heard of previously.
If you are reading this on your e-Ink Kindle or the blog’s free email subscription, the blog’s free reader app for your Fire tablet or Android device – or anywhere other than the blog’s website – and would like to check out the poll and find some new things or, better yet, tell others what you are reading, just click here or type in http://geni.us/1018poll into your web browser, scroll down to the bottom of the post, and start typing away in the comments section!
Here’s how this works – on the blog’s website (using the link above) list a book you are currently reading or just recently read on your Kindle, whether you would recommend it, did you get it free, and anything else you would care to share.
As I type this up on Wednesday night for publication Thursday morning, I am almost finished with King Rat by James Clavell. I first read this in the early 1980’s and enjoyed it then when I was reading through all of Clavell’s books in order. This was one of those I remembered over the years often thinking of it; I picked it up a while ago for my Kindle and just now got around to re-reading it. I’m a little over 90% through it (and hope to finish it tonight), and it is just as good today as it was 35 or so years ago: actually, I think it is outstanding and think Clavell is one of those authors whose writing is timeless and will never go out of style. If you haven’t read it before, or you did and it has been some time, I would recommend you give it a try.
Finally, here’s my standard continuation of each request for prior participants in the poll: if you like or dislike a title you have read, in addition to telling us about it in this informal poll, how about writing a book review on the Amazon website? The review will certainly last and be visible a lot longer than this poll will. If you’re like me, you look at the customer reviews in order to see if you want to investigate a book further. Since we are all a little community here, and while I realize each review is each person’s opinion and we may not like the same thing, I know your friends and online discussion neighbors would appreciate your honest assessment of the likes and dislikes without providing a spoiler – I know I would!
Your reviews don’t need to be a long dissertation of the book, I like to keep them short, sweet, and hopefully to the point (some people think I am too blunt on things I dislike, but I am at least giving you my honest opinion!).
We’d really like to hear what you’re reading right now – I, for example, may find something interesting from your list I want to read (It’s been known to happen!). If you are reading this on your Kindle – or anywhere other than the blog’s website – and would like to check out the poll and find some new things or, better yet, tell others what you are reading, just click here or type in http://geni.us/1018poll into your web browser, scroll down to the bottom of the post, and start typing away in the comments section!
Anyway, that’s all for today. Have a great rest of the week!
Michael

Book Description:
For a guy like me, who can shrug off bullets and lift seven tons, there’s no better profession than powered crime, and no greater burg to practice it in than Gold Coast City. But after ten years of tossing Buicks at heroes I wised up, took the black cape off my back, and hung out a shingle. Only instead of Dark Deeds Done Daily, this one reads Dane Curse, PI. Now I work cases for the dark denizens I was once counted among. The problems they got aren’t the kind that cops care about, so I do what I can, because sometimes even the unjust deserve a little justice.
At least that’s how it was before the world’s greatest superhero was mysteriously murdered, an act so terrible it threatens to start a war that’ll tear my home apart block-by-block, unless I find the killer in five days’ time. But getting to the truth won’t be so easy. I’ll have to contend with black capes whose powers and pulse cannons can shred my hide. An army of technologically advanced armored lawmen led by a power-mad government schemer. And white caped heroes whose abilities and intentions are both less than pure.
No simple task for a small time PI, so I’ll need every bit of my strength, guts, and powers if I’m going to find the killer, save my city, and maybe even get some justice for the greatest hero the world has ever known.

Tubby Dubonnet Box Set
Author: Tony Dunbar
Genre: Mystery
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Free via Kindle Unlimited: Yes
Regular Price: $4.99
Today’s Price: FREE!
Click Here for Your Free Copy!
Book Description:
One part cold case, one part axe murderer, and a quart of salty humor—a hard-boiled cocktail of two darkly funny New Orleans mysteries bundled into one!
Laid-back New Orleans lawyer Tubby Dubonnet finds himself caught in a twisted trip down memory lane, distracted by a luscious new love, chasing down an axe murderer, and, as usual, surrounded by screwball denizens of everybody’s favorite city in these 8th and 9th installments of the award-winning Tubby Dubonnet legal thriller mystery series.
THE NIGHTWATCHMAN
When in the 1970s a young war protester is killed in broad daylight on Canal Street, it appears that his murder will be forgotten, a back page story lost in the big news of an especially violent era. But a youthful Tubby chanced to see it happen, and the tragic event’s haunted him throughout his life. Decades later, an established (but not exactly driven) lawyer, yet successful enough to have time on his hands, Tubby decides to conduct his own investigation into the forgotten crime. He quickly stirs up a hornets’ nest of far-reaching political feuds, police corruption, government agents, and old men with secrets to hide.
But as in all Tubby Dubonnet novels, the plot takes a backseat to local color, colorful characters, odes to fine food, wry observations, and a whole lot of humor. It’s a little like spending a weekend in da Big Easy, dawlin’–complete with three well-chosen meals a day!
FAT MAN BLUES
Ex-con Angelo Spooner is trying to start a legit business, but he just can’t catch a break. Just as his healing Holy Water, “Angelo’s Elixir” is about to go upscale, the sticky strands of the Big Sleazy’s tangled web of crime and corruption reach out to ensnare him. What’s a law-abiding parolee to do? He can’t get caught with a gun, but maybe that axe in his shed could help him extricate himself. But when low-level creep Frenchy Dufour’s henchman turns up nearly beheaded, Angelo’s fate rests in the capable hands of laid-back lawyer Tubby Dubonnet.
Tubby’s been trying hard to lay low, too. As those closest to him are targeted by frightening attacks, he suspects his dealings with the clandestine society of Cuban exiles who’ve plagued him lately are far from over. Tubby would love to have nothing further to do with “that crazy band of geriatric lunatics”. But the old Cuban revolutionaries have taught their sons well. Now their grandchildren, heirs to a substantial cache of weapons and money, burn with a dangerous zeal to prove themselves.
Meanwhile … a man’s got to eat! The epicurean counselor does his best thinking when he’s well-fed. Our good luck! –as we vicariously sample our way across New Orleans’ culinary panorama on the hunt for an axe murderer. But sleuth does not live by bread alone—even in a Tony Dunbar legal thriller. Ignoring his own advice to his client to “keep your head on your shoulders”, Tubby’s lost his to the lovely Peggy O’Flarity. It’s about time Tubby had some steamy sex – and maybe a little happiness? But fortune teller Sister Soulace has her doubts.

How Much is One Life Worth?
In the sci-fi/cyberpunk detective series, author Austin Dragon shows why you never want to meet a cyborg in a dark alley. Liquid Cool is a cross between Blade Runner and the Maltese Falcon. There is plenty of gritty action, suspense, thrills, and even a few laughs.
It’s cyberpunk reimagined—an ever-rainy world of colossal skyscrapers, hovercars, flashy neon streets, and futuristic mechanization. Metropolis isn’t a bad place, but it isn’t a good one either. Uber-governments and megacorporations fight for control of the fifty-million-plus super-city, but so does crime.
We meet Cruz, our private eye (and unlikely hero), in this super-city with a million victims and perpetrators. Watch out for tech-tricksters, analog hustlers, and digital gangsters—psychos, samurais, and cyborgs aplenty. Visitors have a way of becoming permanent attractions.
Welcome to the high-tech, low-life world of Liquid Cool.

Book Description:
Gritty and Witty—A Courtoom Drama Fan’s Dream Collection!
Hard-as-nails Minneapolis defense attorney Marc Kadella takes on the most challenging cases of his career in this exhilarating 4 novel legal thriller box set—page-turners all.
MEDIA JUSTICE
Q: HOW DOES A TELEVISION PRODUCER DESCRIBE THE KIDNAP AND MURDER OF A 2-YEAR-OLD CHILD?
A:“I THINK WE HAVE A HIT ON OUR HANDS!”
In the third The third Marc Kadella legal mystery, an adorable—and photogenic—two-year-old girl is kidnapped, and, when her remains are found, her twenty-two-year-old widowed mother Brittany is charged with her murder. But before she can even be charged she’s been tried and convicted by the media, at the center of which is Melinda Pace, a cynical, mostly-functioning alcoholic Minneapolis television personality with a “legal news” show called The Court Reporter. Not even in the alternative universe of television news could she be described as a reporter, since she makes no attempt at or pretense of presenting the truth, or even the facts. She does do a great job of producing through-the-roof ratings and whipping the public into a frenzy—with tragic consequences.
CERTAIN JUSTICE
A PSYCHOPATH’S BACK ON THE STREETS–AND HE’S OUT FOR REVENGE…
Marc was torn about his work for Howie Traynor—his first homicide case—but even he was relieved when Howie was put away for forty years… Until, a decade later, his case is re-opened. Seems the former tech in the BCA lab was falsifying DNA evidence to collude with cops in putting away suspected violent criminals. And now not only Howie, but a handful of wrongfully-accused felons, are back out on the streets.
Marc and his longtime buddy PI Tony Caravelli don’t buy Howie’s come-to-Jesus act. And when an appeals judge with ties to the overturned cases winds up crucified in his own front yard, they’re convinced a dangerous killer has been wrongfully exonerated.
PERSONAL JUSTICE
FIRST SHE KILLS HER HUSBANDS, THEN SHE DESTROYS THEIR FAMILIES…
Mackenzie Sutherland is shrouded in black at her most recent late husband’s funeral. Mackenzie’s not-so despondent face might tell more observant onlookers she’s not exactly your typical grieving widow—but then, no one can see through her veil. This is by design. Alluring and dangerously attractive, she’s been down this road before.
Three times, in fact. In Dennis Carstens’ FIFTH hard-boiled legal thriller, we meet the classic black widow. All of Mackenzie’s late husbands were millionaires. Each died suddenly and quite mysteriously of massive heart attacks (in spite of no history of heart trouble). And each left their children with nothing—and their young, beautiful bride (of about a year or so) with millions.
DELAYED JUSTICE
FRAUD LEADS TO MURDER. AND THIS TIME, IT’S PERSONAL…
Maddy Rivers has her reservations about her new relationship with Rob Judd. Sure, he’s a handsome and brilliant investment analyst in a wildly successful securities management firm. But he’s constantly distracted. It seems something about the firm’s not quite right—or so he finally lets on to Maddy. Its returns are consistently solid, maybe a little too solid—or so suspects Patrick McGarry, one of Rob’s co-workers. After voicing his suspicions to Rob, Patrick heads up north for a weekend hiking trip—and winds up dead. It’s only a matter of days before Rob is next. And Maddy’s found unconscious at the gruesome scene of the crime, clutching the murder weapon.

Organizing Your Books Into Collections
Over the past few years, I’ve posted this in some form or fashion a couple of times with the last time being in February of this year. However, I’ve been asked about this topic many times over the last couple of weeks as we have a lot of new readers to this blog as well as people upgrading to new varieties of Kindles, so it’s obviously time to post this tip again and update where appropriate.
Today’s post is rather long and is about the “Collections” feature, and is broken up into two parts. The first section is a general review of what a collection is and how to establish them on your new Kindle – which might be handy to those of you who have upgraded from any previous version of Kindle on the market
Please note these instructions are for e-Ink Kindles only; I will post something similar for Fire tablets soon.
Collections – A Basic Primer and “How To”
Background
Your Kindle can organize the books and other content you have on it in a file folder system called “Collections,” which if you are unfamiliar with it think of the file structure in the “My Documents” folder on a Windows-based computer: you have your files organized by topic or whatever system you may use. You can do the same with your eBooks. The following is a mixture from the Amazon customer service website as well as my own observations and experiences.
I store all of my titles by genre – mysteries, science fiction, western, etc. – so I can see what is available when I am ready to start a new book. I have over 400 unread books on my Kindle (no, I don’t think I have a problem) and organizing them by genre helps me keep it straight and I can quickly pick one out when I am ready to switch to a new genre. You can use whatever system is easiest for you.
Creating Collections
If you store a lot of content on your Kindle, you can create collections to improve your organization. A collection is a category you can create on your Kindle Home screen: you can then move your books and other reading material from the Home screen to the collections you create and your Kindle will sort your content by collections after you create your first collection. The following is how you can do it on a Kindle Paperwhite, but if you have another e-Ink Kindle the instructions are pretty much the same. I will also point out there are several different ways to do it, and this tutorial is not meant to be the “only” way.
To create a collection:
Select “Create New Collection” from the Home screen menu – you will need to tap the three vertical dots on the top right-hand of your screen to activate the menu, just below the time and battery status icon. Once the menu displays, tap “Create New Collection.” Go ahead, I will wait…
Enter a name for the collection by tapping the blank box once with your finger; tapping the blank box with your finger will display the keyboard where you can type away. Please note the first letter will be capitalized and the subsequent letters will be lowercase. If you want all caps, you will need to press the “up” arrow button (just above “123” on the keyboard display) before each letter. Also, if you want numbers of special characters (like &^#$), you will need to tap the “123” icon.
Tap the “OK” icon when finished.
To rename or delete a collection:
You will need to be on the screen viewing the listing of your books and not the home screen (you will need to be viewing all of your titles by “Collection” and not, for example, by “Title.”
Highlight the collection name by placing your finger on the Collection name and holding it to have a new menu screen pop up.
Select the desired action with the controller by tapping the option with you finger (i.e., “Rename” to change the name).
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: Deleting a collection from your Kindle does not change the content stored on your device. Items previously placed into the collection that are stored on your Kindle will appear on the Home screen after the collection is deleted and you are sorting your books by anything other than Collections (i.e., by title or author).
To sort your book content by collection:
Tap the Home icon.
Swipe once from right to left to see the list of titles; alternatively, you can tap the “My Library” link on the top left.
The menu item on the top far right (just under the search icon space) is how you sort your titles: your choices are “Recent, Title, Author, and Collection.” I don’t know what may be displayed on your Kindle, but tap one of those to see the four options.
Select “Collection” from the four options by tapping it with your finger.
Managing Content in Your Collections
After you create one or more collections you wish to use for organizing your Kindle’s content, you’re ready to associate items on your Kindle with those collections. Here are a few handy collection features:
Collections are stored on Amazon: When you create a collection on a device, it will save your collection so it appears in Archived Items on other devices registered to your Amazon.com account. This allows you to transfer collections across registered Kindles.
Books are associated with collections until removed: If you add a book to a collection on your Kindle and then delete the book from your device, it remains associated with that collection in Archive Items. If you download the book again, it will automatically appear in the appropriate collection on your Home screen.
Books can appear in more than one collection: You can associate a single book or other item from your library with multiple collections if you wish. For example, I have a collection for Kindle Unlimited titles I haven’t read yet – it reminds me to get to it – and I also put them in the appropriate genre such as “Mysteries & Thrillers.”
Collections don’t change device or Archive Items content: If you delete a book from a collection or delete an entire collection from your Kindle, it does not change the actual items saved on your Kindle or in your Archive Items on Amazon. When you delete a collection from your Kindle, any downloaded items from that collection will appear the Home screen instead of in the collection. In other words, if you want to delete a specific book, just delete it like you would any other book from your Kindle (although it will still be listed in the cloud in your collection).
To add or remove books from collections items:
Highlight the collection name on the Home screen.
When the new menu item pops up, select “Add/Remove Items”
Select “Add/Remove Items” with the controller.
Highlight and select a title you wish to add or remove. Items currently in the collection will display a check mark to the right of the title. If you have hundreds of books like I do on my Kindle and stored in Amazon’s archives, this method is a pain in the neck! See my alternative method for removing items within a Collection in the “Removing or Reorganizing Content in a Collection” section below.
Select “Done” at the bottom of the screen when you’ve finished editing your collection.
To import a collection from another Kindle:
Go to the “My Library” option and sort your books by “Collection.” All of your collections you have created on other Kindles will be displayed, followed by individual titles that aren’t categorized.
On the top left-hand side of the screen, you have a choice to see “All” of your collections or just the “Downloaded” collections currently on your Kindle. Select the “All” option.
If the collection is on your current Kindle, on the right-hand side of each collection’s name will be a star; if there isn’t a star and you want that collection on your current Kindle, tap and hold the collection’s name and follow the instructions
Note: Importing a collection from another device does not import the books or other items to your Kindle if they aren’t downloaded already. However, books already on your Kindle that are associated with a collection will automatically appear under that collection name on your Home screen. Open up the collection you just imported by tapping it once, and if you are still in the “All” view (remember, from the top left-hand side of the screen) you will see all of the books you have categorized in this collection. Books on your Kindle have a black checkmark on the right-hand side, those that are not but in the cloud do not have this check mark. To download a book from the cloud to your Kindle, just tap the name of the title once (but do not tap and hold!) and it will start the download process if you are connected wirelessly.
Removing or Reorganizing Content in a Collection
Maybe you would like to know how you can change books from one category to another, especially if you accidentally put one book in the wrong place. I’ve done that before a few times. While I am sure there are many ways to do this, here is how I corrected the problem and put the book where I originally intended:
Let’s assume you have 9 categories of collections, and you have one titled “Science Fiction” and another one titled “Westerns;” further assume you put a Science Fiction book in the Westerns category and you want to correct that error and put it in the Science Fiction category.
Press the “Home” icon the select the “My Library” option. Assuming you have your display to sort by collections, you should now see the list of categories you created for your Kindle’s unique collections, including the Science Fiction and Westerns categories.
Open the Westerns category by tapping it one time.
In the Westerns category, you should see the problematic book you wanted to have in the Science Fiction category. Tap and hold your finger on the name of the title which should have a new menu screen with several options available to you such as “Go to” and “Book Description;” my Paperwhite has 8 different selections.
The very first selection should be called “Add to Collection.” Choose this option by tapping it one time.
This next screen should be all of your collections – from here, you can scroll left or right. Scroll to the Science Fiction category, and tap the box on the right-hand side on the Science Fiction line.
If you have followed the instructions so far, the Science Fiction category should now have a checkmark in it, which means it is now included in the Science Fiction category collection.
You will also see a check mark in the box to the right of the category you didn’t want it in – the Western category; tap that box one time to remove the check. This may take a little bit of a delay, depending upon how many books are on your Kindle. Give it a few seconds and it will work!
Your book should now be removed from the Western category and only in the Science Fiction category.
You are finished. Press the “Done” at the bottom and get back to doing what you originally meant to do with your Kindle when you picked it up: read!
As I indicated toward the beginning of this rather lengthy post, this isn’t the only way to do this – I actually use a combination of the above as well as the manage my content and devices section on the Amazon website. Do whatever works for you – but if you have a lot of books I encourage you to make the time investment to get organized now so you can spend more time reading.
Hope that helps!
Michael

Book Description:
KATE SEES AURAS THAT PREDICT DEATH…in Carrie Bedford’s slightly psychic take on the traditional British mystery all wrapped up in a DaVinci Code-like puzzle…LOOK OUT, DEATH! YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE!
London architect Kate Benedict’s weekend begins with “Follow that cab!” and takes us off and running on an international adventure, ticking off picturesque locales from London to a Venetian palace and the Tuscan countryside, pausing just long enough for a quick tour of Florence’s Duomo, with danger dogging every step.
What began as a quiet Friday night dinner date with an old childhood friend turns into a manhunt when Kate arrives at the rendezvous just in time to find her friend Ethan leaving in a taxi. Kate is alarmed to see the distinctive swirling pattern above his head that only she can see, and that she has come to recognize as a portent of imminent and mortal danger. When Ethan’s disappearance is followed by a series of cryptic text messages, Kate goes looking for him at his sister’s house in Florence, Italy, but it’s immediately clear that whatever danger threatened Ethan in London has followed Kate to Italy–his sister Claire has a matching aura! Soon Kate and Claire are on the run, constantly watched and followed, repeatedly threatened and attacked … never knowing who they can trust. Apparently not even the carabinieri, who are now following them also!
An ancient book that was given to Claire and Ethan’s grandfather after the close of World War II holds the key to Ethan’s disappearance and the source of the danger indicated by Claire’s ever-present aura. Until all the pieces come together – the book, a hidden key, a diagram, and a cypher that Kate will need help decoding – Kate and her friends are safe; but then their tormentors – whoever they are – will have no reason to keep them alive.

Murder in the City that Care Forgot
JAZZ FUNERAL by Julie Smith
Everybody loved easygoing Ham Brocato, producer of the famed New Orleans JazzFest. So how did he end up stabbed to death on his kitchen floor?
New Orleans Homicide Detective Skip Langdon just happens to be on hand when Ham’s body is discovered in the middle of his own party the evening before the Fest. To complicate the already murky case, the victim’s sixteen-year-old blues musician sister has disappeared, and Skip suspects that if the young woman isn’t the murderer, she’s in mortal danger from the person who is.
CITY OF BEADS by Tony Dunbar
Tubby Dubonnet’s bored. Sure, researching licensing law for the new casino will keep trout meunière on the table, but what could be more tedious? (Unless, of course, the client turns out to be the mob.) Meanwhile, there’s the estate of an old friend who controls some dock leases on the wharf. And he agrees to help his daughter’s environmental group stop illegal dumping in the river. Ho-hum, thinks our hero. But suddenly all three cases begin to converge in an entirely ominous way. And Tubby’s running for his life.
MAKE ME DEAD by Adrienne Barbeau
As always in a Vampyres of Hollywood mystery, the biting wit is sharper than a nip from a passing vampyre—in a word, humor, wit, and satire are what this engaging series is really all about. Nobody’s better than Barbeau at skewering the foibles of Hollywood and its self-involved denizens, and nobody’s got a smarter mouth than her movie star heroine, vampye Ovsanna Moore, this time in New Orleans for a horror convention. (Fasten your seat belts—lots of fun to be had at the expense of horror conventions!)
PICK-UP LINE by Patty Friedmann
Cupid’s working overtime in the unlikely venue of N.O. Drugs, where plus-sized beauty Ciana Jambon works with dread-locked pharmacy student Lennon Israel, who’s so handsome, so meticulous, he just has to be gay. But she can’t help herself—she’s got the crush of the century. And a murder to unravel.
PI ON A HOT TIN ROOF by Julie Smith
New Orleans’ most dynamic detective duo, poet/computer genius Talba and street-savvy Luddite Eddie Valentino, have a personal interest in this one—Eddie’s lawyer daughter Angie’s been set up for a drug bust.
PLUS a BONUS! M.A. Harper’s FIRE ON THE BAYOU, the second novel of an epic second-chance-at-love story in Louisiana—with plenty of its own mystery to solve. And Julie Smith’s short story PRIVATE CHICK—because every New Orleans mystery anthology needs at least a dash of detective-in-drag.

A little magical mischief never hurt anyone until a love potion goes terribly wrong.
Erik MacGregor is from a line of ancient (and mischievous) Scottish warlocks. He isn’t looking for love. After centuries of bachelorhood, it’s not even a consideration… until he moves in next door to Lydia Barratt. It’s clear the beauty wants nothing to do with him, but he’s drawn to her and determined to win her over.
The last thing Lydia needs is an alpha male type meddling in her private life. Just because he’s gorgeous, wealthy, and totally rocks a kilt doesn’t mean she’s going to fall for his seductive charms.
Humans aren’t supposed to know about his family’s magic or the fact he’s a cat shifter. It’s better if mortals don’t know the paranormal exists. But when a family prank goes terribly wrong, causing Erik to succumb to a love potion, Lydia becomes the target of his sudden and embarrassingly obsessive behavior.
They’ll have to find a way to pull Erik out of the spell fast when it becomes clear that Lydia has more than a lovesick warlock to worry about.

Book Description:
It was the spring of 1989. I was sixteen years old, a junior in high school and an honors student. I had what every teenager wants: a stable family, a nice home in the suburbs, a great group of friends, big plans for my future, and no reason to believe that any of that would ever change.
Then came my mother’s psychosis.
I experienced first-hand the terror of watching someone I loved transform into a monster, the terror of discovering that I was to be her primary victim. For years I’ve lived with the sadness of knowing that she, too, was a helpless victim – a victim of a terrible disease that consumed and destroyed the strong and caring woman I had once called Mom.
My mother’s illness took everything. My family, my home, my friends, my future. A year and a half later I would be living alone on the street on the other side of the country, wondering whether I could even survive on my own.
But I did. That was how my mother – my real mother – raised me. To survive.
She, too, was a survivor. It wasn’t until l that I learned that she had died – in 2007. No one will ever know her side of the story now. But perhaps, at last, it’s time for me to tell mine.
This expanded edition of this award-winning memoir contains eight additional chapters not included in the original 2014 release.

Book Description:
A novel full of twists and turns about a city caught in the grip of an unprecedented crime wave, a girl striving to reconcile with her mother–a rich senator–who abandoned her at birth and still wants nothing to do with her, her estranged twin sister, a relentless love interest and a ruthless vigilante with an unknown agenda.
When Amber Faulkner strives to honour her dying adoptive mother’s last request to be reunited with her birth mother—the universally reviled politician Joan Simmons—she has no idea of the anguish and pain that lie ahead.
What dark secrets lie behind the reason her birth mother abandoned her when she kept and raised her twin sister? Why does her mother tell her that she didn’t want her then and still doesn’t want her now? How far will her mother go to keep Amber’s true identity secret to prevent a scandal that would destroy her political career and everything she’s worked so hard to build?
Why is her mother leading a small breakaway group of senators to side with the opposition to block legislation that will put over two thousand repeat violent offenders behind bars when the city is caught in the grip of an unprecedented crime wave of aggravated burglaries, rampaging teenage gangs, rape and murder?
Why is the nameless vigilante carrying out a campaign of terror against Joan Simmons and her family? Is he trying to force her to approve the legislation or does he have darker purposes in mind? Can Liam Fielder—the young man infatuated with Amber—live up to his assertions that he can protect her from the vigilante when she is caught in the crossfire?

DEATH TURNS A TRICK
A rollicking tale of murder, romance, and bordellos…
Rebecca Schwartz, nice Jewish lawyer with a few too many fantasies, is happily playing the piano in a whorehouse when she suddenly finds herself assigned to make sure a near-naked state senator escapes a police raid. That dirty job done, a lovely evening turns even more delightful when she’s picked up by the cops and spends the next two hours at the Hall of Justice. Could this day get any worse? Of Course!

THE SOURDOUGH WARS
TO YOU, IT’S JUST A FROZEN LUMP OF DOUGH; BUT TO SOME, IT’S LIFE AND DEATH…
Especially to handsome Peter Martinelli, who wants to auction off the fabled sourdough starter from his family’s famous bakery. But who’d buy a frozen hunk of flour and water? Only, it turns out, every bakery in San Francisco, a national food conglomerate, and an upstart ringer with a mysterious backer.
Someone would even kill for it. And does.

Rebecca Schwartz, thought she knew her best friend–and her boy friend. Not to mention her family. But what she’s about to learn will rock her world.
