The New York Times bestselling author of The Library of Light and
Shadow crafts "an enchanting glimpse of Jazz Age New York"
(Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of
Orphan Train) about a young painter whose traumatic past threatens
to derail her career at a prestigious summer artists' colony run by
Louis Comfort Tiffany of Tiffany & Co. fame. New York, 1924:
Twenty-four-year-old Jenny Bell is one of a dozen burgeoning
artists invited to Louis Comfort Tiffany's prestigious artists'
colony. Gifted and determined, Jenny vows to avoid all distractions
and take full advantage of the many wonders to be found at
Laurelton Hall. But Jenny's past has followed her there. Images of
her beloved mother, her hard-hearted stepfather, murder, and the
dank hallways of Canada's notorious Andrew Mercer Reformatory for
Women overwhelm Jenny's thoughts, even as she is inextricably drawn
to Oliver, Tiffany's charismatic grandson. As the summer shimmers
on, and the competition between the artists grows fierce as they
vie for a spot at Tiffany's New York gallery, a series of
suspicious and disturbing occurrences suggest someone else knows
about Jenny's childhood trauma. Supported by her closest friend
Minx Deering, a seemingly carefree socialite yet dedicated
sculptor, and Oliver, Jenny pushes her demons aside. Between stolen
kisses and jewels, the champagne flows and the jazz plays on until
one moonless night when Jenny's past and present are thrown
together in a desperate moment, that will threaten her promising
future, her love, her friendships, and her very life. "This
fast-paced mystery, star-crossed romance, and love letter to Louis
Comfort Tiffany will captivate Rose's many fans and readers of
20th-century historical fiction" (Library Journal, starred review).
PURE WICKED by Shayla Black During his decade as an international
pop star, Jesse McCall has lived every day in the fast lane. A
committed hedonist reveling in amazing highs, globetrotting, and
nameless encounters, he refuses to think about his loneliness or
empty future. Then tragedy strikes. Shocked and grieving, he sheds
his identity and walks away, searching for peace. Instead, he finds
Bristol Reese, a no-nonsense beauty scraping to keep her business
afloat while struggling with her own demons. He’s intent on
seducing her, but other than a pleasure-filled night, she’s not
interested in a player, especially after her boyfriend recently

prove he’s not the kind of man he’s always been. But when she
learns his identity and his past comes back to haunt him, how will
he convince her that he’s a changed man who wants nothing more
than to make her his forever? ALL HALLOWS EVE by Heather Graham
Salem was a place near and dear to Jenna Duffy and Samuel Hall —
it was where they’d met on a strange and sinister case. They
never dreamed that they’d be called back. That history could
repeat itself in a most macabre and terrifying fashion. But, then
again, it was Salem at Halloween. Seasoned Krewe members, they
still find themselves facing the unspeakable horrors in a desperate
race to save each other-and perhaps even their very souls. HARD AS
STEEL by Laura Kaye After identifying her employer's dangerous
enemies, Jessica Jakes takes refuge at the compound of the Raven
Riders Motorcycle Club. Fellow Hard Ink tattooist and Raven leader
Ike Young promises to keep Jess safe for as long as it takes, which
would be perfect if his close, personal, round-the-clock protection
didn't make it so hard to hide just how much she wants him--and
always has. Ike Young loved and lost a woman in trouble once
before. The last thing he needs is alone time with the sexiest and
feistiest woman he's ever known, one he's purposely kept at a
distance for years. Now, Ike's not sure he can keep his hands or
his heart to himself--or that he even wants to anymore. And that
means he has to do whatever it takes to hold on to Jess forever.

Everything you need to know about profitable online publishing and promotion
From Stephen King to authors who haven't become household names quite yet, authors are increasingly turning to the Internet as a way of taking charge of their own publishing destiny. The opportunities are vast, but also confusing: Should you publish an e-book, a conventional print book, a Print On Demand book, a CD-ROM, or all of the above? What do you need to know to create an e-book? How do you set up a website, and how can you actually get people to visit that website? Where can you sell your books on the web? And how can you use the Internet to generate massive free publicity?
M. J. Rose and Angela Adair-Hoy provide the answers to all of these questions and more. When she self-published her first novel, Lip Service, as an e-book, M. J. Rose became a "cyber pioneer" (PW Daily) and attracted so much publicity that she sold the rights to a major book club and a New York publisher. As the co-owner of a highly successful e-book publisher, Booklocker.com, and the publisher of Writersweekly.com, an e-magazine featuring markets for freelance writers, Angela Adair-Hoy also learned all of the possibilities that online publishing could offer. Using their own experiences-combined with insiders' tips from other authors on the web-they published an e-book, The Secrets of Our Success, that became the underground bible for online authors and publishers.
Now thoroughly revised and expanded, this book is an indispensable guide to navigating the publishing jungle from you own personal computer.
