Book excerpt: A teenage runaway from Maine gets an eye-opening introduction to life on the streets of New York City Robin catches a bus from her home in Maine to New York City to escape her tyrannical father. With no money and little hope of finding a decent job, the sixteen-year-old girl is easy prey for a hard-luck pimp named Prince. He quickly gains Robin’s trust and introduces her to the seedy underbelly of the city, a world of sex, drugs, and lies in which she must fight to survive. A homeless woman named Owl, who was once beautiful and bold, befriends Robin as they both struggle to take control of their lives. On the Stroll is a moving, gritty picture of the people who find themselves on society’s margins and a heartrending look at the ultimate costs of homelessness and prostitution.

Book excerpt: The life of a homicide cop is death with many causes: death for love, death for hate, death for revenge, death for money or death for no reason at all. The homicide cops worst nightmare is death by a serial killer with a plan. This gritty and fast moving story of a search for such a killer is a realistic portrayal of homicide investigation written by a former homicide detective who has been there. I was a homicide investigator during the time frame of this novel and I am impressed with the detail and account of both the technical and routine phases of murder investigations as we did them back in the day. Gerald R. Beavers Former Chief of Police, Asheville, North Carolina and Topeka, Kansas A fresh homicide on the street. Grab your pen and notebook and get to the scene. Beat the bushes. Talk to the street cops who show up. Talk to the street people whose trust you have developed over the years bartenders, prostitutes, crooks, store owners. The drums are beating in the neighborhood. People are talking. Get the right information and you solve the case. No DNA; no C. S. I.; no cell phones; no online information sources. No psychological profi les other than the knowledge and memory of sharp cops. No scientifi c interrogation techniques other than experience and knowledge of human nature. We found the killers and we put them away. This is the way it was in the late 1960s and Ed Mercer captures the tableau perfectly. The Dead Stroll is a nostalgia trip for those of us who walked the walk and talked the talk in those days and a historical document for those cops currently working homicides an authentic depiction of how it was. The scenes of riot and turmoil in the streets, the pressures of external and internal politics, the cops wit and crisp dialogue are all vivid and real. Dont miss this great read which is told in a way that only be written by a guy who has been there. Harry T. OReilly Detective Sergeant (retired) NYPD, Former supervisor, Manhattan South Homicide and Special Victims Unit

Book excerpt: "Happy Holidays 2015! It has been a rough year for the Quinns, but I would like to start by saying thank you for all of the well wishes and positive missives sent our way." A second Christmas on Nantucket finds Winter Street Inn owner Kelley Quinn reflecting on the past year as he writes a holiday letter to friends and family. Though the year has had its share of misfortune and worry, the Quinns have much to celebrate. Kelley, now single, at least is on better terms with his first wife Margaret, who is using her celebrity to lure customers to the inn in record numbers. Their son Kevin has a beautiful new baby, Genevieve, with the Inn's French housekeeper, Isabelle; and their daughter, Ava, is finally dating a nice guy--her devoted colleague, Scott. Now the Quinns are looking forward to celebrating Genevieve's baptism, welcoming Isabelle to the family, and enjoying the cheer of Nantucket's traditional Christmas Stroll. But just when a peaceful family gathering seems within reach, Kelley's estranged second wife, Mitzi, shows up on the island after souring on her relationship with the inn's former Santa Claus. Soon Kelley isn't the only Quinn entertaining a surprise guest from Christmases past as lovers old and new gather beneath the mistletoe. With jealousy, passion, and eggnog consumption at an all-time high, it's going to take a whole lot more than a Christmas miracle to get the Quinns--and the inn--through the holidays intact. Follow the Quinn family through the entire Winter Street Series: Winter Street Winter Stroll Winter Storms Winter Solstice
