Book excerpt: From a rising literary star comes a fresh, satirical novel about masculinity and tenderness, fatherhood and motherhood, set in the world of semi-professional wrestling—now in paperback After seven years on the semi-pro wrestling circuit, Ricky Twohatchet, a.k.a. Richard Powell, needs one last match before he gets called up to the big leagues. Unlike some wrestlers who only play the stereotype, Ricky believes he comes by his persona honestly—he’s half white and half Native American—even if he’s never met his father. But the night of the match in Omaha, Nebraska, something askew in their intricate choreography sets him on a course for disaster. He finishes with a neck injury that leaves him in a restrictive brace and a video already going viral: him spewing profanities at his ex-partner, Johnny America. Injury aside, he’s out of the league. Without a routine or identity, Ricky spirals downward, finally setting off to learn about his father, and what he finds will explode everything he knows about who he is—as a man, a friend, a son, a partner, and a wrestler. Go Home, Ricky! is a sometimes-witty, sometimes-heart-wrenching, but always gripping look into the complexities of identity.

Book excerpt: Special Agent for the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife Services, Tracey Whittington, takes down wildlife traffickers and more, but what she doesn't expect is to be in a shootout, multiple times, when the business turns deadly. Nor does she suspect she'll be working with Hal Haverton, who serves as a part-time deputy for Yuma Town, Colorado, and runs his own horse ranch. As long as he doesn't stop her investigative work—she has been placed on administrative leave due to the last shootout—she'll be just fine. Hal Haverton has every intention of keeping the wild cat safe, even if it means helping her to solve the case when every time he turns around, she's involved in another shootout. When her boss asks their good friend, the sheriff, to have one of his deputies serve as a bodyguard for the cougar shifter, Hal's all for it. So is the other deputy, but Hal's got this covered. Even if getting somewhere with the lady means having his gun ready at all times. There are definite perks to getting to know the Special Agent better—if they live long enough to do something about it.

Book excerpt: Smart, sexy, and soulful, Ricky Martin is more than a pop star. He's an accomplished actor and Grammy-award-winning singer who takes himself and his music seriously. Immensely talented, he started out young, acting in commercials at the age of six, and eventually joined the hugely successful singing group Menudo. In 1994 he joined the cast of the highly rated soap opera General Hospital and later landed the lead role in the smash Broadway musical Les Miserables, two career moves which would launch him into world-wide superstardom. From there, Ricky wanted to return to his first love, singing--and he did it with a bang, creating two multi-platinum solo albums, which won him a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Performance. What's next for this gifted heartthrob? With show-stopping good looks, talent to spare, and ambition to burn, the sky seems to be the limit. Find out about the man behind the image...discover what this cute crooner has said about his success, love, and music...learn about the real Ricky Martin--you'll be glad you did!
