Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An epic love story set in post-war New York, by the best-selling author of Winter's Tale. In the summer of 1946, New York City pulses with energy. Harry Copeland, a World War II veteran, has returned home to run the family business. Yet his life is upended by a single encounter with the young singer and heiress Catherine Thomas Hale, as each falls for the other in an instant. They pursue one another in a romance played out in Broadway theaters, Long Island mansions, the offices of financiers, and the haunts of gangsters. Catherine’s choice of Harry over her longtime fiancé endangers Harry’s livelihood and threatens his life. In the end, Harry must summon the strength of his wartime experience to fight for Catherine, and risk everything. “In its storytelling heft, its moral rectitude, the solemn magnificence of its writing and the splendor of its hymns to New York City, [In Sunlight and in Shadow] is a spiritual pendant to Winter’s Tale and every bit as extraordinary...Even the most stubbornly resistant readers will soon be disarmed by the nobility of the novel’s sentiments and seduced by the pure music of its prose.”—Wall Street Journal

In retaliation, her mother lured a handsome prince into a deadly agreement: If he frees Mina, he can claim her as his bride. Now Mina and her prince must endure deadly trials -- of love and fate and family -- before they can truly live happily ever after....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A truly unprecedented literary achievement by author and editor Lawrence Block, a newly-commissioned anthology of seventeen superbly-crafted stories inspired by the paintings of Edward Hopper, including Jeffery Deaver, Joyce Carol Oates, Stephen King, Lee Child, and Robert Olen Butler, among many others. "Edward Hopper is surely the greatest American narrative painter. His work bears special resonance for writers and readers, and yet his paintings never tell a story so much as they invite viewers to find for themselves the untold stories within." So says Lawrence Block, who has invited seventeen outstanding writers to join him in an unprecedented anthology of brand-new stories: In Sunlight or In Shadow. The results are remarkable and range across all genres, wedding literary excellence to storytelling savvy. Contributors include Stephen King, Joyce Carol Oates, Robert Olen Butler, Michael Connelly, Megan Abbott, Craig Ferguson, Nicholas Christopher, Jill D. Block, Joe R. Lansdale, Justin Scott, Kris Nelscott, Warren Moore, Jonathan Santlofer, Jeffery Deaver, Lee Child, and Lawrence Block himself. Even Gail Levin, Hopper’s biographer and compiler of his catalogue raisonée, appears with her own first work of fiction, providing a true account of art theft on a grand scale and told in the voice of the country preacher who perpetrated the crime. In a beautifully produced anthology as befits such a collection of acclaimed authors, each story is illustrated with a quality full-color reproduction of the painting that inspired it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When David Johansen relocated to the quiet, unassuming little town of Killdeer, he thought the move would do him good. He thought he'd finally escaped the violence of his past in the north woods of Wisconsin. He had no idea how wrong he was. As a terrible blizzard descends upon Killdeer, David is awakened by a gunshot, followed shortly by frantic pounding on his front door. He pulls a shotgun from its rack, opens the door and meets Anya, a frightened young woman with a disturbing request: "Help me. Please! Someone's trying to kill me!" David shelters the woman and quickly draws the attention of the killer pursuing her, a relentless hunter who will stop at nothing to claim his victim. Through a series of text messages, the killer makes his presence known and presents David with a deadly ultimatum. More lives than Anya's are now at stake… unless David complies with the killer's wishes. As the weather worsens, the people of Killdeer are forced to take shelter in the local hotel, where emergency preparations have been made for an extended stay. David and Anya go there as well… but the killer may have followed them. When the killer strikes again, David's fears are realized. Worse, as a relative stranger to the town, many suspicious eyes are turning in his direction. Trapped by the weather in an overcrowded hotel slowly boiling over with fear and mistrust, David is faced with three problems: He must protect Anya at all costs, knowing full well that it may cost him, and the people of Killdeer, everything. He must find and stop a killer who has shown the ability to cut power and communications, has eyes and ears everywhere, and is able to strike at will. He must face the darkness rising up within himself, changing him, pulling him far from his faith, and threatening to drag him down forever. Orion, the sequel to the award-winning Victor: The Reloaded Edition*, is more than a tale of suspense, intrigue, and ultimate stakes that will keep you awake deep into the night. It is a story of internal struggle and difficult decisions, highlighting the war for our souls between what we want and what we need. Orion is the story of every reader's heart, and its message will linger long after the final page is read.
