A clever look into the machinations of Hollywood from the bestselling author of the blockbuster hit The War of the Roses…
When Hollywood producer Zane Galvin’s failed movie leaves him with a $5 million debt and thirty days to pay it off, he goes to unpredictable extremes to raise the money. Joining in on his scheme are Zane’s girlfriend, his gardener, the film’s writer, and the director. The plan quickly turns into a wicked game of switching sides, blackmail, betrayal, and greed. Will anyone come out a winner?
The Gunners by Rebecca Kauffman
In Kauffman’s fantastic second novel, Mikey Callahan struggles to make human connections as he loses his sight to macular degeneration, starting with his reunited group of childhood friends, “The Gunners.” This is a beautiful, funny story about reconnecting with your past and trying to make sense of the present.
Backlist bump: Another Place You’ve Never Been by Rebecca Kauffman
The Past is Never by Tiffany Quay Tyson
A compelling Southern Gothic about a missing child who seems to have just vanished from the old rock quarry. Local legends tell of something sinister that haunts the town, but when no explanation and no child are found, the devastated family moves on. Until years later, when they will discover that some things are better left unknown.
Backlist bump: The Summer That Melted Everything by Tiffany McDaniel
The Fighter by Michael Farris Smith
I didn’t mean to recommend two books set in the Mississippi Delta (see above), it just happened that way! This is a dark novel of violence, betrayal, and danger, about an aging boxer who seeks to repay his gambling debts, only to have the money stolen. Now he must fight once again – this time for his life. If you like Daniel Woodrell, Donald Ray Pollock, or Harry Crewes, this is the book for you!
Backlist bump: Desperation Road by Michael Farris Smith
