Here’s the set-up:

Mary Dunnewold was a yoga-practicing, organic-food-eating health geek. But six months after a clear mammogram, she was diagnosed with stage-three breast cancer. She had six tumors. The largest was the size of a summer plum.

In the next two years, she endured a bilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, and multiple reconstruction procedures. But she soon learned that navigating cancer involves more than suffering through the treatment gauntlet. How do you walk the aisles of a small-town Target, guilty of having cancer in public, wondering who knows and who doesn’t? Where do you look when the handsome plastic surgeon kneels in front of you to measure your body fat? What etiquette applies when, during a dinner party, your chest splits open like an overripe watermelon?

In this memoir, the author moves from needing a reason to explain her troubles to finding meaning despite the randomness that afflicts us all.

Tongue-tied?

The snarky, inappropriate and irreverent duo is back. This time somebody is getting licked, and not in a fun way.

BJ and Kay have caught the scent of a new mystery.

Things are getting rough in Jamesburg. Free Spirit, Luna is searching for her Alpha, and BJ and Kay’s childhood friend, Officer Tadger, is taking the bait. He’s after a howling good time.

But it smells like danger to BJ.

After BJ stumbles over a dead body, she and her pack can find neither hide nor hair of the killer.

Things are getting shifty in this hilarious romp filled with paranormal satire. We Alpha bet you’ll love it.

Quinn and Glasneck, two USA Today bestselling authors, high on the beer fumes from a signing party at a local brewery, decided to take a step away from their usual writing styles. They put together a new mystery in the style of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum novels – that is if Stephanie had a younger southern cousin, who ran a bar, and had a thing for sexy police uniforms.

This is the seventh book in the Badge Bunny Booze Mystery series, but each book is a stand-alone in this series and does not have to be read in order.

Named to Kirkus Reviews’ Best Books of 2018

July 1969. While men are walking on the moon, life in London for sixteen-year-old Jane takes unexpected turns. On the point of falling in love with her best friend Karl, she discovers that there’s more to her father’s spectacular girlfriend than at first meets the eye. In the sweltering heat of a fast-moving evening, other revelations quickly follow, reconciling Jane with her father but also reopening wounds from the past, laying bare raw emotions kept suppressed for too long. And as the evening draws to a close, the night’s drama has only just begun, unfolding in a sequence of violent events that threaten to have lasting repercussions for Jane and the people she loves…

Lightened by music and humor and darkened by Kafkaesque dreams, with magic tricks, sexuality, and family secrets all playing a prominent part, The Madness of Grief is a coming-of-age tale of friendship, betrayal and loss.

Contains Mature Themes
