Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An incredible collection of celebrity stories and photographs from 1934 to the present, from the archives of "The Lyons Den" by eminent New York Post columnist Leonard Lyons, compiled by his son, movie critic Jeffrey Lyons. This amazing collection of choice anecdotes takes us right back to the Golden Age of New York City nightlife, when top restaurants like Toots Shor’s, “21,” and Sardi’s, as well as glittering nightclubs like the Stork Club, Latin Quarter, and El Morocco, were the nightly gathering spots for great figures of that era: movie and Broadway stars, baseball players, champion boxers, comedians, diplomats, British royalty, prize-winning authors, and famous painters. From Charlie Chaplin to Winston Churchill, from Ethel Barrymore to Sophia Loren, from George Burns to Ernest Hemingway, from Joe DiMaggio to the Duke of Windsor: Leonard Lyons knew them all. For forty glorious years, from 1934 to 1974, he made the daily rounds of Gotham nightspots, collecting the exclusive scoops and revelations that were at the core of his famous newspaper column, “The Lyons Den.” In this entertaining volume Jeffrey Lyons has assembled a considerable compilation of anecdotes from his father’s best columns, and has also contributed a selection of his own interviews with stars of today, including Penélope Cruz and George Clooney, among others. Organized chronologically by decade and subdivided by celebrity, Stories My Father Told Me offers fascinating, amusing stories that are illustrated by approximately seventy photographs. He so captured the tenor of those exciting times that the great Lincoln biographer Carl Sandburg said: “Imagine how much richer American history would have been had there been a Leonard Lyons in Lincoln’s time.”

Welcome to the world of THE LYON'S DEN: The Black Widow of Whitehall Connected World, where the underground of Regency London thrives... and loves. Can an earl put aside the ghosts of the past and accept a future with his scandal-plagued wife? On the night of her come-out, Lady Emma Spencer learns her father has bilked numerous peers. Not only is she humiliated, but her father flees England, leaving Emma penniless and homeless. She finds work as a companion and years later, she winds up with a fortune. All she lacks now is the children she so desperately desires. That means finding a husband-and she turns to The Black Widow of Whitehall, Mrs. Bessie Dove-Lyon, who pairs women touched by scandal with men in desperate need of money. Upon his father's death, Marcus becomes the Earl of Rutherford and finds he's bankrupt, thanks to his father losing the family fortune to poor investments and gambling. Though Marcus had wanted to wed for love, he turns to an infamous matchmaker, who arranges a marriage for him. Lady Emma Spencer is everything he dreamed of in a woman, and Marcus gallantly refuses to discuss her past, telling Emma he is her future. But secrets have a way of coming out and Marcus learns he's married to the one woman he never would have chosen. Can Marcus put aside the ghosts of the past and accept a future with his wife?

Book excerpt: The Lyons Den is an absorbing tale based on some true, slightly exaggerated, life events and characters. This story will affect men, women, gays and the transgendered folk. Biases against those born in the wrong body will soon disappear. One character in the book easily proves he is more human than many of us 'think we are.' She touches inner feelings not easily admitted to. Viv, at 35 years old, searches for love but found the dating agency brought excitement, danger and heartbreak instead. Fast moving, compassionate and racy: a semi-soft, erotic mystery/thriller that is almost impossible to put down. A compelling tale enacted around the Lyons Dating Agency, which is the backdrop for Viv, a lonely woman in search of love with the perfect partner. Instead, she encounters a baron....lover....transgendered hero(ine)....detectives....murders and a serial killer who travels throughout Europe committing his dirty deeds. For Viv, this is a huge change of pace from her previously mundane life working in a London office. There are strong emotional story-lines all the way through which help the reader bond with the characters. The story is frightening in places, whilst extremely sad in others. Intrigue and death are part of the plot. There are many unexpected twists, and each chapter ends with a cliff-hanger. This book is unlike any you would have read before, and it will feel as if you are watching it on television or at a movie! The ending does not disappoint the reader, and the story will never be forgotten. A must read for all fans of thrillers and mysteries or anyone hungry for something unique and exciting.

Welcome to the world of THE LYON'S DEN: The Black Widow of Whitehall Connected World, where the underground of Regency London thrives... and loves.It's amazing how quickly a marriage of convenience can become so very complicated...Kingston Barclay cannot inherit the dukedom soon enough. With siblings to support and a nearly bankrupt estate, an opportune marriage is his last hope. But his best-laid plans are upended when he discovers his best friend's lovely sister sneaking around the Lyon's Den. His immediate attraction to her would make her a most inconvenient bride, given his circumstances. Convincing his heart of that, however, is another matter entirely... The last thing Vanessa Becket needs is another man in her life. Between her conniving stepbrother, a parade of fortune hunters, and the investigator who failed to reclaim her stolen jewels, she's had enough. But when she finds herself in a notorious gaming hell, she discovers something far more valuable than missing gems. A temporary arranged marriage to Kingston could solve all her problems. If she manages to not fall for him in the process, that is... It was supposed to be a simple arrangement. But given their histories-and the secrets Kingston is keeping-the road to happily ever after will surely be anything but simple.Other Lyon's Den BooksInto the Lyon's DenThe Scandalous LyonFed to the LyonThe Lyon's Lady LoveThe Lyon's LairdThe Lyon Sleeps TonightA Lyon in Her BedFall of the LyonLyon's Prey

Book excerpt: Lieutenant Stuart Lyons is a single father and a well-respected veteran law enforcement officer. In addition, he serves as head of security at the ever-popular New Hope Church in Atlanta, GA and above all, he loves the Lord. When sudden pandemonium strikes his "normal" life and he begins receiving threats from an unknown person who only identifies himself as "Dr. A.H. Satan," Stuart's life is turned upside down. This faceless stalker seems to know everything about Stuart: where he lives, where he works, where he worships, who his friends are and, most unsettling of all, that he has a son whom he adores. A series of disturbing events sends the Dekalb County Police Department into over-drive, trying to find the recently released, elusive madman who is now suspected of seeking long-awaited revenge on the officer who was responsible for putting him behind bars. Bizarre happenings—some explainable, and others that yet remain mysteries—have been known to find their way into the lives of many of the residents of the infamous Shelton Heights subdivision, and apparently, it's now Stuart's turn. Will his faith and the prayers of the righteous help put an end to his distress, or will the Legend of Shelton Heights swallow him whole?
