Sucking Sherbet Lemons
What do you do when you're fat, 14, obsessed with the Catholic Church, with Doing the Right Thing, with scones and sweets, with other boys and their private parts? Well, if you're Benson, you panic and flee, hiding from the flesh as a novice in a monastery. Alas, St Finbar's monastery is as full of temptation as the grammar school he'd left behind. The devils of desire find Benson once again and throw him back into the world from which he'd tried to escape. Returned to school, Benson is still trying to square the circle of his conflicting enthusiasms and desires. Can he be both gay and Catholic? Gay and Happy? Sucking Sherbet Lemons recounts the coming out experience of a gay man at a time w...
Brothers in Arms
"In the environs of Liverpool is a boys' Catholic school, and in that school is a fourteen-year-old Martin 'Wobbles' Benson-- an extraordinary adolescent fiercely unhappy with being fat and with the mysterious urges he explores during sessions of 'The Rude Club'-- fumbling encounters with two other boys that drive him to confession with dismal regularity. Benson, it seems, has two conflicting passions: the Holy Mother Church and other boys. So it's not unexpected that he chooses to enter St. Finbar's Seminary. But what happens there will be a stunning surprise to jolly good Benson. For here in a naughty and hilarious coming-of-age and coming-out story, written with a tone and intensity reminiscent of James Joyce's Dubliners, we witness a boy's own story-- of loneliness, choices, and sexual desire." -- Back cover.
The Manager
From the post room to the board room, everyone thinks they can be the manager. But how do you manage outrageous talent? What do you do to inspire loyalty from your players?

Cry for War, the Story of Suzan and Michael Carson
Welcome to the terrifying, tormented world of Michael and Suzan Carson, American killers who created their own brand of Islamic Jihad and roamed the California highways in the 1980s, executing "witches." At the top of their list was President Ronald Wilson Reagan who, according to their ghastly cult, bore the mark of the Beast - 666. While in prison awaiting trial for the murder of a young woman, the Carsons spilled their story to journalist Ric Reynolds, who became so involved with the killers that he feared for his own sanity. They stalked his nightmares, and he began carrying an earring of the woman they murdered as a talisman for protection. Even worse, he discovered the supposedly lucid interviews he had conducted, turned to gibberish when replayed. The San Francisco Chronicle called Cry For War "riveting" and lovers of true crime will be mesmerized. An anti-love story of two twisted souls, Cry for War is as shocking as it is entertaining.

Where They Wait
A “mesmerizing” (Stephen King) supernatural novel about a sinister mindfulness app with fatal consequences from the New York Times bestselling author of The Chill. In this “taut, creepy techno-chiller” (Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts), recently laid-off newspaper reporter Nick Bishop takes a humbling job: writing a profile of a new mindfulness app called Clarity. The app itself seems like a retread of old ideas—relaxing white noise and guided meditations. But then there are the “Sleep Songs.” A woman’s hauntingly beautiful voice sings a ballad that is anything but soothing—it’s disturbing, and more of a warning than a relaxation—but it works. Deep, refreshing sleep follows. So do the nightmares. Vivid and chilling, they feature a dead woman who calls Nick by name and whispers guidance—or are they threats? And her voice follows him long after the song is done. As the effects of the nightmares begin to permeate his waking life, Nick makes a terrifying discovery: no one involved with Clarity has any interest in his article. Their interest is in him.
