The Girl From Long Guyland
Laila Levin enjoys a successful marriage and a thriving career as an I.T. executive in Austin, Texas, but she can’t quite shake her lifelong sense of not truly belonging anywhere.
When her company announces a major layoff, Laila finds herself caught between an unscrupulous CEO and her promiscuous boss. Then news of her college roommate’s suicide stirs up a dark secret involving three devious friends from her past. One has betrayed a vow, another wants to rekindle their romance, and the third is out for revenge.
Suddenly for Laila, it’s 1969 again. She’s only seventeen, and she’s left her sheltered home in Long Island for college in Connecticut. Amid protests of the Vietnam War, she’s tempted by the sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll that rule her generation. Laila gets swept up in a deceptive love triangle with two older locals and initiated into their unethical hippie family. Too late she realizes her search to belong has led to tragedy.
Laila must now juggle the demands of her perplexed husband and her baby boomer past forcing her to make choices that endanger her survival and challenge her conscience.
She learns that the lines between right and wrong are often blurred, and sometimes you have to risk everything to be true to yourself.
Editorial Reviews
★★★★★ “I love a mystery and I love stories about the late 60’s/early 70’s and this book has both. Really fun read.” –Barbara Gaines, Executive Producer, The Late Show with David Letterman
★★★★★ “Lara Reznik masterfully creates a story that brings the past and present together seamlessly. . . . I can honestly say it is not often that the plot of a book surprises me the way this one did. This book is truly timeless. I would recommend “The Girl from Long Guyland” to anyone who likes to read no matter what their preferred genre.” Katherine Bennett, Reviewer, Readers Favorite
From the Author
This book is dedicated to all baby boomers who survived the late 60’s and 70’s, as well as those that didn’t. Hope you enjoy the ride. —Lara

Kindle Daily Deals For Sunday, Feb. 24 – 4 Bestselling Titles, Each $2.99 or Less! plus Stephen Peace’s The Secrets of Creative Writing
But first, a word from … Today’s Sponsor
My plays have bite.
Making my plays available as e-books will mean more people will have a chance to discover my plays. Theaters, even though they might have found my plays interesting, often were afraid to do my them because they have an edge or seem to be risky. Theaters can’t afford to take risks on “new work”, unless the author has a name. MY NAME IS STEPHEN PEACE!
I think reading a play is a different experience for most people. People are used to reading novels, but plays can be just as interesting. In a play there is more emphasis on a look or a lighting change. Plays are also more about dialogue. Some will like reading a play and some won’t. I hope you do.
Now, what is my name?

But first, a word from our Sponsor….
Here’s the scoop on sponsor Jess Winfield’s novel THE PERFECT BURRITO:
Here’s the set-up:
In Jess Winfield’s second novel, fiftysomething food blogger Don Miguel de Los Angeles no McDonalds attempts to walk from L.A. to San Francisco in a Quixotic quest to find THE PERFECT BURRITO.
Steak. Beans. Cheese. Guacamole. Pico de gallo.A big, stretchy flour tortilla. AND NO FREAKING RICE! Is this a formula for self-realization?
Twenty-one year-old Maria “Mary” Sanchez, a fully assimilated, half-Chicana Valley girl, joins a fifty-something food blogger, the self-styled “Don Miguel de Los Angeles no McDonalds,” on his Quixotic quest: walking from Los Angeles to San Francisco to find The Perfect Burrito. Written in Maria’s sassy first person narrative and Don Miguel’s comically “high-styled” blog posts, this multilayered novel is part Cervantes spoof, part eulogy for decimated California Indian cultures, and part mouthwatering foodie travelogue. Yet at its core is the emotional journey of Maria, a young woman caught between teenager and adult, American and Latina, and her curious attachment to Don Miguel, who has a mysterious love of all things Hispanic. The burrito serves as a kind of Grail, a symbol of Maria’s quest for cultural identity in a corporatized, fast food culture, the fulfillment (in every sense of the word) that both Maria and Don Miguel desperately seek. While the story is fictional, the burritos and California locations are real, and the e-book will provide links to both Don Miguel’s blog and a variety of extras: from Google maps of the journey to webisodes re-enacting scenes from the book to audiobook chapters, all hosted at www.theperfectburrito.com.

“…the literary equivalent of the Jersey Shore cast line-dancing in soiled diapers. You must love this. Must. Love it.” (Mike Elton)
” …a contemporary romance novella about true love based on oral sex and heroic rescues…” (Kirkus Reviews)
About The Author
Since growing up as an only child in Manhattan (when she was sure she was the only child in Manhattan), Alexandra has known she would be an author. She’s been reading romance since the age of ten (under the covers, with a flashlight, of course) and started her first book (a Regency romance meets Akira-style anime) at fourteen. After a brief dalliance with the legal profession, Alexandra now writes contemporary romance with “clever, snappy dialog.”
Alex (or Alexandra, as her friends call her) likes writing books about strong-willed women and tough, impenetrable alpha males. Her best-seller, Tide’s Ebb, is just one of the stunning works of fiction that is bursting out of Alexandra’s head.
She lives in Newport, Rhode Island with her husband, two adorable twin boys, and an evil cat named Kate Middleton.

Settle in With A Novel That Will Keep You Guessing Until The Very End: S.J. Wright’s The Vampire’s Release, A Paranormal Romance (Undead in Brown County #4) – 4.5 Stars on Kindle
Her hair smelled like ripe oranges. It teased and beckoned me forward. I came to stand beside her and took one of the gently waving amber locks into my fist. Her head turned towards me, but she closed her brilliant eyes and let her lashes sweep over whatever emotion that might have been blooming inside her head. Without real intent, my fingers left her hair and touched her chin.
“Why do you close your eyes?”
“You frighten the hell out of me, Michael.”
Sarah and Michael have faced deadly challenges. He gave himself over to his worst enemy to save her life. When an old friend comes to his rescue, her methods may bring an end to the Michael that Sarah Wood has come to love. The secret to his release may give rise to a lethal monster who poses the greatest threat that Sarah has ever faced.
This fourth book in the series contains language that some might find offensive, sexual scenarios not appropriate for children and violent situations. It is roughly the same length as the other books in the series (36,788 words as calculated in Microsoft Word 2010.)
The Undead in Brown County series takes place in Brown County, Indiana. S.J. and her husband spent a few days there after they were married in 2002. She began writing the series in October of 2010. In February of 2011, she published her first novel The Vampire’s Warden as an ebook on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. After several months of self-promoting the book, she was able to consider the idea of turning it into a career. Since then, she has released three more books in the series and is working on a fifth.
