I spilled a glass of milk all over the floor, and as I stood over it I realized I had no desire to cry. I was not sad at all, but just annoyed. I am not sure why crying is enough of a threat when milk is spilled that people have to advise you not to cry. Is this a thing? I do not think this is a thing.
Chasing Vegas
Tad Vezner
Genre: Action & Adventure | Science Fiction
FREE for a limited time
When Ricky Vegas got out of jail, his parole officer told him to get a job and stay in Nevada. Hours later police spot Vegas entering Horizon Station: a tower of interstellar transit stretching from the desert to the stratosphere. He could only be going one direction: away.
When the search for Vegas turns into a manhunt of epic proportions, his parole officer, Geoffrey Sink, wonders why all the fuss for a simple fugitive. He stops wondering after a series of violent, bloody incidents lock the station down – and starts worrying when he realizes Vegas’s flight up Horizon coincides with a rare appearance by the most recognizable people on Earth. The Originals – the first astronauts to return from deep space; the faces everyone thinks of when they stare up at the stars – arrive on Horizon to deliver their first speech since touching down in the desert five years ago.
And when Vegas tries to kill them, Sink realizes there’s more to chasing this ex-con than he ever wanted to know.

Susan Russo Anderson
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
FREE for a limited time
When the police do nothing to solve the murders of three prostitutes knifed to death in 1866 Sicily, Serafina Florio, a struggling widow with seven children, unmasks the killer, but not before uncovering burdensome truths of her own.
It is six years after Unification and Sicily is in chaos. Bandits rule the hills. Waves of cholera kill thousands. The Mafia begins its vicious reign of organized terror, raping a population squeezed by conscription, crippling taxes, and corrupt officials.
At a high-class house near Palermo, three prostitutes have been knifed to death, their foreheads slashed with a strange mark, their bodies dumped on the madam’s doorstep. When the chief inspector does nothing to solve the case, the madam summons her lifelong friend, Serafina, and asks her to catch the killer.
Serafina is a midwife, but she decides she must help. She plunges into the investigation, gathering evidence, following leads. She meets with relatives and friends of the deceased and discovers a thread common to all three victims.
After a fourth victim is strangled, Serafina’s hopes for a quick resolution are dashed. Her emotional low is short-lived, however. In a defiant meeting with the Mafia don, she makes an important discovery. Convinced of the murderer’s identity, she conceives a daring plan and, with the help of her daughter, corners the killer, a wild one bent on revenge. But will she have the strength to save herself and her loved ones?

Visiting the Sins (Second Edition)
Melanie Denman
Genre: Contemporary Fiction | Family Life | Women’s Fiction
FREE for a limited time
In her riotous debut novel, Melanie Denman probes the silent sacrifices of motherhood with unflinching honesty and warmhearted amusement. Set in the Bible Belt of Deep East Texas, Visiting the Sins is a darkly funny story about mothers and daughters, naked ambition, elusive redemption, and all the torment it s possible to inflict in the name of family.
Down through the decades, the lofty social aspirations of the feisty but perennially dissatisfied Wheeler women Pokey, the love-starved, pistol-packing matriarch; Rebanelle, the frosty former beauty queen turned church organist; and Curtis Jean, the backsliding gospel singer are exceeded only by their unfortunate taste in men and a seemingly boundless capacity for holding grudges. A legacy of feuding and scandal lurches from one generation to the next with tragic consequences that threaten to destroy everything the Wheeler women have sacrificed their souls to build.
