A Season in Pluto
Nothing seems more unlikely than Mike Page living alone and coaching a high school softball team as a fifty-something widower. He'd been a minor league baseball player and a nationally recognized newspaper reporter and columnist. He'd also been happily married to the love of his life. But after losing both his job and his wife in the span of a few months, Mike decides to interview for the coaching position. He needs to get his mind off his grief. Plus, he has been turned down for dozens of jobs because of his age. Mike expects the usual problems associated with coaching teenage girls, but he doesn't expect to become embroiled in a bizarre murder mystery with roots that are decades old. Even stranger, he discovers a connection between the mystery and his late wife.

Overseer's Island
For as long as he can remember, Jack Murphy has been tormented by nightmares of death--his own death in past lives. Scenes may change but his end is always the same: murdered without warning or reason by a stranger he can't identify. Jack goes through the motions of life, forever waiting for death, and as a result he'd little more than a shell of a man, preternaturally aware that he'll die, quickly and violently, and soon. But, even then, he won't move on to a place beyond awareness. Instead, he'll be born again into the world with a new face, new name but always the same end. Jack's only friend is Carl Langum, an old man he realizes is more than he appears to be. When Jack's death is certai...
City Centre
Simon Halliday has tackled everything that life has thrown at him, be it on the rugby field, or in the City. He has been hit hard in his time, now he is hitting back. In his candid and lucidly written autobiography City Centre, Simon Halliday, a former England rugby international takes the reader on a roller-coaster trip along Twickenham’s corridors of power and lifts the lid on the departure of, not one, but two chief executives, as the game’s rulers fought among themselves for control of the RFU. He is scathing about England’s descent from World Cup heroes to zeroes after proving they were the best in 2003. He slams the game’s rulers for driving Sir Clive Woodward out of the game a...
Make It New
As jazz enters its second century it is reasserting itself as dynamic and relevant. Boston Globe jazz writer and Emerson College professor Bill Beuttler reveals new ways in which jazz is engaging with society through the vivid biographies and music of Jason Moran, Vijay Iyer, Rudresh Mahanthappa, The Bad Plus, Miguel Zenón, Anat Cohen, Robert Glasper, and Esperanza Spalding. These musicians are freely incorporating other genres of music into jazz—from classical (both western and Indian) to popular (hip-hop, R&B, rock, bluegrass, klezmer, Brazilian choro)—and other art forms as well (literature, film, photography, and other visual arts). This new generation of jazz is increasingly more international and is becoming more open to women as instrumentalists and bandleaders. Contemporary jazz is reasserting itself as a force for social change, prompted by developments such as the Black Lives Matter, #MeToo movements, and the election of Donald Trump.

The Ripple Effect
The Ripple Effect: It is the 13th of November and Lincoln, Texas will never be the same. Shortly before noon, some fifty people, workers and diners, are in a food court at Lincoln Mall in a small town in East Texas. Others are drifting in for a quick lunch, while they shop for a last-minute gift for a sister's birthday or a new belt, or a new pair of shoes. A young gunman appears out of the dark shadows of the mall and begins shooting; his assault rifle firing shell after shell until mass carnage flows. A class of preschoolers. Three old ladies meeting for their weekly hour of gossip about children and grandchildren. Burger cooks. Ice cream dippers. A salad store employee. A Texas Ranger. A man trying to find an anniversary gift for a wife that he is slowly losing, because he works too much. The reader is introduced to the people who will be in that food court in a matter of minutes. Some will live. Others...will not.

Beyond Final Arrangements
Clifton Mortuary was Jeremy Taylor's fourth employer in his sixteen-year career in the death care industry. A well proportioned, fit and relatively handsome man, Jeremy was considered personable although sometimes hard to read. Working in a profession that had been reduced to a mere trade was depressing enough by itself. There was little room for imagination and creativity but Jeremy's dedication to serving families was tempered with enthusiasm and when possible, humor. His mundane career and life however, were destined to change when he met Rhonda. Some misappropriate delegation and poor judgement, mixed with bouts of mismanagement, would result in a traumatic mistake at the mortuary. The life-altering event would be instrumental in changing him and the slumbering industry forever. Beyond Final Arrangements provides an inside look at the death care business tempered with humor, sadness, romance, sex, conflict and lawsuits.
