Book Description:
“It wasn’t a pill or drug like in the movies – he was a philosopher not a pharmacist. It was an actual course of work that would help make a person more intelligent.”
Incite Insight is a speculative crime thriller. Newly promoted ‘Country Boy’ Detective Brad Thomas is put on the case after a number of mysterious deaths – the victims’ brains appear to have melted. Brad and Detective Sally Summers discover that the victims are linked by a strange tattoo that reveals membership of a secret organisation.
Brad uncovers an intelligence raising program created by the first person to die from what the media dub the ‘Melting Brain’. Believing that this program is the key to solving the deaths, Brad works his way through its levels and finds his own thinking being transformed. Soon, he is invited to join the secret organisation that has been spreading the program – The Network of Freethinkers. He finds himself becoming involved in their plan to alter the way the world is run and create what they call the age of the Philosopher King. Will he help change the world?

Book Description:
In his second novel, author Eric Peterson dishes up a riotous spectacle of self-absorbed chefs, backstabbing politicians, and devious publishing magnates, set against a backdrop of haute cuisine, presidential politics, and an endless supply of top-shelf liquor and wine.
Fresh from a public humiliation and in search of his true calling, former college football star Jack Marshall enlists as bartender and steward aboard Horace Button’s vintage private railroad car, the Pioneer Mother, which is transporting the legendary food writer and social critic across the country in opulent style.
Decked out in a white jacket, mixing perfect cocktails, Jack is immersed in a style of living–and dining–he’d assumed was extinct. While striving to appease the eccentric, finicky Horace, and Wanda, the Pioneer Mother’s enigmatic chef, Jack falls under the spell of Giselle Lebeau, a gorgeous celebrity chef whose designs on him test his self-control and his loyalty.
But when tragedy rocks Horace’s insulated white-linen world, Jack must take charge of a simmering stew of quirky yet powerful personalities–all while staying in Wanda’s good graces and keeping an eye on their newest passenger.

The FBI is searching for it.
Israeli agents are killing people to find it.
The criminal organization that got cheated out of it, is looking for blood.
Into the office of Private Detective Jason Dalton, walks a beautiful widow with a clue to the location of a priceless Templar map.
Dalton had an office in one of those old buildings downtown. You know the type, built in the twenties with a marble staircase, a huge lobby that smelled old and stale, a broken elevator with brass fixtures. Dalton and young Nick, his assistant, were working nickel and dime stuff: missing persons, insurance fraud, and rounding up a fugitive here and there.
Then she arrived. Dalton heard heels clicking on the tile landing, and looked up from his desk. Into his office walked a redhead with an envelope full of cash. As she crossed the room in that tight skirt, his mouth dropped open.
Mrs. Sophie Devonshire had been attacked. Her home had been burglarized. It all started, she said, when she found a photo of an old map among her late husband’s things. Could Mr. Dalton help her find the real map?
But the case seemed too good. Somebody was going to a lot of trouble to get Dalton involved. Could it be a trap? Then he found a tracking devise on his coat, and two military thugs burst through the weapons drawn.
What was Dalton getting into?

Book Description:
Big, badass Casey Jones, the smart-mouthed female PI with the thunder thighs and the bunny-soft heart, has everything you could possibly need to be an ace private investigator – except an investigator’s license.
Fifteen years ago, this hard-boiled babe walked out of a Florida prison after serving an eighteen-month sentence, sporting 160 pounds of “nobody kicks my ass” and a couple of inches of dark roots at the base of her bleach job (“simply to confuse people into underestimating me”) and swearing she’d never set foot in a prison or trust a man again. Trust, no. But by no means has she given them up. She can love with the best of them, but when it comes to lust she’s in a class by herself.
LEGWORK, Vol. 1
Author Munger masterfully blends nail-biting suspense with Casey’s hilarious wisecracking narration as she navigates an unsavory southern stew of crooked politicians, crooked business deals, old grudges, ancient crimes, and everyone’s favorite, dysfunctional families.
OUT OF TIME, Vol. 2
The family of a death row inmate just isn’t buying the story that she killed her cop husband, and they’ve hired North Carolina’s mouthiest female sleuth to save her from lethal injection—in a month.
MONEY TO BURN, Vol. 3
When a favorite client gets killed on her watch, Casey vows to find the killer no matter what killers, arsonists, rapists, and spoiled rotten socialites get in her way. Then, to the cynical sleuth’s chagrin—everyone all around her starts falling in love…just before Casey herself is smitten.

Alan, 15, is a gentle introvert who tries to put a lid on his sister’s anger. But that, too, is in vain.
. . . be there when the illusion of tranquility explodes in their faces

Donate Your Used Kindle
Seeing as how there were several million people who upgraded to a new version of the Kindle or Fire tablet platform over the last few months, I thought it would be a great idea to pass on this idea again….
Many times, I am asked by people what to do with an older Kindle sitting around collecting dust because the owner either upgraded to a newer model or just doesn’t use it any more. My normal response is to check around with a local charity, such as a shelter or literacy group in the person’s area as I am sure one of them would appreciate a Kindle or other eBook reader.
If you have a used Kindle, how about donating to The Kindle Classroom Project? The Kindle Classroom Project was founded in 2011 by schoolteacher Mark Isero, and was started to promote the love and power of reading among high school students in Oakland and San Francisco, California in the USA. The program now servers over 1,000 students: students receive a Kindle and access to a growing library of approximatel 1,400 books 24 hours a day (including over the summer).
You can check out their website and read more details / see pictures of students with their Kindles at j.mp/kindleclassroom – I’m impressed how big of a difference just one person like Mark can make! Scroll down to the bottom of this page and you will see lots of links on how a used Kindle is making a difference.
If you would like to donate your used Kindle to The Kindle Classroom Project, just point your web browser to j.mp/donate-kindle for more information.
Also, if you know someone who has a used Kindle they are no longer using, why not pass along this information to them?
Have a great rest of your day!
Michael

Keeping his mutation secret, uncovering the girl’s true intentions and trying to save the town all vie for Ethan’s attention. And if he fails, not only his life, but the lives of all, are at stake.

About the Author:
It was from reading Agatha Christie’s mystery books that inspired Zoe to write cozy mystery novels. Zoe liked the fact that cozy mysteries are able to offer readers a form of escapism that typical detective stories can’t.
Like what Marilyn Stasio, who has been the Crime columnist forThe New York TimesBook Review since the late 1980s, recently wrote: “The abiding appeal of the cozy mystery owes a lot to our collective memory, true or false, of simpler, sweeter times.” It is Zoe’s desire that her writings will evoke that nostalgic memory in all of us; those memories of the good old days.
What sets Zoe apart in her writings is her fusing of Mystery with Paranormal elements, a combination which will bring about fantasies that are intriguing and engaging. Her stories contain unexpected twists and sometimes light-hearted moments that will make one smile at Zoe’s quirkiness, fun and wittiness in her writings.

Book Description:
IF A GYM BAG OF CASH FELL INTO YOUR HANDS, WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO KEEP IT?
A simple man with a refined palate, maverick New Orleans lawyer Tubby Dubonnet has a penchant for fishing, Old Fashioneds, off-track betting, and fighting evil while passing a good time.
His clients are all renegades from the asylum (aka Orleans Parish), including a transvestite entertainer, a buxom deadbeat blonde, a doctor who refers his own patients to a malpractice lawyer, and a Mardi Gras reveler who drives a float shaped like a giant crawfish pot. He also has his hands full with an ex-wife and three teenage daughters, who are experts in the art of wrapping Tubby around their little fingers. And somehow, between work and family, Tubby finds time to sample the highs and lows of idiosyncratic Crescent City cuisine, from trout meuniere amandine and French roast coffee with chicory to shrimp po-boys and homemade pecan pralines.
Tubby’s new client is Darryl Alvarez, the manager of a local nightclub who’s been caught unloading marijuana from a shrimp boat. At their first meeting, Darryl entrusts Tubby with an ordinary-looking blue gym bag. But after Darryl’s unfortunate demise, Tubby realizes he must tighten his grasp on the gym bag — and its million-dollar contents.
Tubby can’t just give up the cash. But if he gets caught, he’ll be in jail. And if the wrong people catch him, he’ll wish he was.

Book Description:
Meet Nurse Gina Mazzio: She’s feisty, determined, tenacious, and a ballsy Italian ex-Bronxite. She might remind you a bit of Sandra Bullock when Sandra’s in FBI mode, because you know how scary nurses can be; and how compassionate. Gina’s patients are in danger. And everyone at her fancy San Francisco hospital is blowing it off like everything’s normal.
Carl Chapman, a young man with an excellent prognosis, has already died–and another patient’s acting weird and desperate; a third, a teen-ager, has actually run away.
Gina soon finds out her patients are being subjected to a diabolical form of blackmail after being blasted with chemotherapy and every other toxic poison available to save their lives. Most days they’re so run down they’re more dead than alive. But there’s one chance for survival—each will be infused with his or her own treated bone marrow – frozen, secure in the hospital’s storage vaults.
And then comes the note: “We have your marrow…pay $50,000 or die now!”
Before it’s over, Gina will be stalked, threatened, and nearly killed. This is an action-packed, shocking, take-no-prisoners tale of medical suspense, definitely not for the faint-hearted.

Book Description:
Can physics explain the economy?
Many people believe that there is a lot of money in the world and that its distribution among people is unjust. Most people also believe that the reason for economic crises is an inherent illness of the system or the result of misguided or even tricky actions that can be avoided.
In this book, it is argued that the amount of money in developed countries is zero, the income distribution among people is purely statistical, and that volatility in the economy is inevitable, just like the fluctuation in our mood.
Why are very few people so rich and many so poor, and why do CEO’s make so much money?
We show that income distribution is the universal distribution that also exists in many other phenomena, e.g., the distribution of voters among parties, the distribution of buyers of books, and the distribution of the number of residents in cities. It also exists in the frequency of digits in data files, the frequency of earthquakes according to their intensity, and many other random phenomena. This easy-to-calculate universal distribution well predicts the economic inequality as reflected in the Gini Index, the relative percentage of the poor, the salaries of CEOs, and the fraction of wealth held by the richest.

She is Queen: the weak ruler of a nation barely recovering from the horrors of civil war, where mad dragons run amok and warlords bristle under the guise of peace. Now she must stop the ruin she helped create, but how do you fight what you are fated to fail?
“I murdered a man and made my husband leave the night before they crowned me.”
Born under the crumbling towers of Oren-yaro, Queen Talyien’s life unfolded like a storybook. The shining jewel and legacy of the bloody War of the Wolves that nearly tore her nation apart, her marriage to Rayyel, the son of her father’s rival, spoke of peaceful days to come.
But all storybooks must end. Rayyel’s sudden departure before their reign began created fractures that left the land as divided as ever.
Years later, Talyien receives a message from Rayyel, urging her to meet with him across the sea. An assassination attempt interrupts Talyien’s quest for reconciliation, sending the queen struggling in a strange and dangerous land. With betrayals in every twist and turn, she is forced to enlist the help of a con-artist to survive and save her husband from the clutches of those who would seek to use him for their gain…if he would let her.
