Book excerpt: A New York Times best historical novel of the year, adapted as a major film for Amazon Prime, this feminist literary thriller is set in Paris's infamous Salpêtrière asylum—now in paperback The Salpêtrière Asylum: Paris, 1885. Dr. Charcot holds all of Paris in thrall with his displays of hypnotism on women who have been deemed mad and cast out from society. But the truth is much more complicated—these women are often simply inconvenient, unwanted wives, those who have lost something precious, wayward daughters, or girls born from adulterous relationships. For Parisian society, the highlight of the year is the Lenten ball—the Mad Women’s Ball—when the great and good come to gawk at the patients of the Salpêtrière dressed up in their finery for one night only. For the women themselves, it is a rare moment of hope. Genevieve is a senior nurse. After the childhood death of her sister Blandine, she shunned religion and placed her faith in both the celebrated psychiatrist Dr. Charcot and science. But everything begins to change when she meets Eugénie, the 19-year-old daughter of a bourgeois family that has locked her away in the asylum. Because Eugénie has a secret: she sees spirits. Inspired by the scandalous, banned work that all of Paris is talking about, The Book of Spirits, Eugénie is determined to escape from the asylum—and the bonds of her gender—and seek out those who will believe in her. And for that she will need Genevieve's help . . .

Book excerpt: "Mad Ball" is a story about the madness that invaded Wrigley Field and was consequently felt 'round the world during the 2003 MLB playoffs. Chicago attorneys and life-long Cubs fans R. Thomas Hoffman and Walter Yurkanin take us on a sweeping examination of the historic meltdown in Game Six against the Florida Marlins, finally setting the record straight on what was to blame for the Cubs' collapse. Forming their own "Commission," every aspect of the infamous "Bartman Play" is held under the microscope - interpreting and analyzing the rules, evaluating comments from players and managers, reviewing media reports, and looking at countless photos and video replays. No stone is left unturned, including the legendary Cubs curse. For Cubs fans, this book is therapeutic. For baseball fans everywhere, it's a fascinating look at one of the most storied franchises in all of sports. And for Cubs fan Steve Bartman, "Mad Ball" is freedom, and it's long overdue. "Impressively researched. If The Warren Commission Reported on the Bartman foul ball, this is what it would look like " -Bob Sirott Co-Anchor Fox Chicago News @9pm

Book excerpt: What exactly is the perfect life? What would you do with the power to change the world? What would you do to build a better humanity? Be careful what you wish for because there have been men that’s wished for change and got what they asked for. Werewolves, grave robberies, advanced robots, and crime run amok in the small town of Edsburg, and one man is determined to bring peace to his town, Sheriff Bill Lewis. Dr. Theodore Stein—the world’s most brilliant scientist and heir to his father’s business, Stein Labs and Stein Technologies—hires two new lab technicians to work in his small lab stationed in Edsburg. Zack, a bright young man, struggles to cure his muscular dystrophy, but with the opportunity from Dr. Stein, he finds it. But the cure puts him in a hairy situation, healing his disease and unlocking a beast that has lain dormant in him for years, the werewolf. This discovery will lead him, his team member Roxanne, and Stein Labs into a new age that will save the human race. But all is not well in Stein Labs as his lifelong friend Dr. Jerry Slade begins to spiral into a depression after losing his wife to cancer. The dreams that haunt him leads him to a darker path until he discovers Zack’s secret and steals the formula to find a way to bring the dead back to life...and succeeds.
