Full Moon Over America
Thomas William Simpson, the acclaimed author of This Way Madness Lies, extends his literary powers, spinning an uproarious and disturbing tale about a place called America, and all the fools, dreamers, villains, and heroes who have made it possible. It's dawn in America. At least it's dawn in the Blue Mountains, where the nation's eyes have turned. Because on this day, Inauguration Day, a man who is spectacularly unqualified to be President-a man just thirty-three years old, who wants his mother to be his Vice President, who has never held a job, and has no apparent political views at all-is about to be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. Several problems block Willy MacKenz...

The Passage
Josh Tailor is on a roll. But not a good one. Josh has been hanging out with the losers. Swiping lumber for their clubhouse down by the river. Smoking grass. Drinking beer. Stealing Mom's brand new Beetle convertible out of the driveway. Smashing it into a telephone pole. Almost killing himself and several of his buds. Josh is a good kid... on a bad track. The Passage-every boy has to make one. Some do it with more success than others. Josh's mom is at wit's end. It's gotten so bad she actually called her ex, Big Jack Tailor. Big Jack has been estranged from his wife and son for years. Josh sees him, but rarely, and never for long. He hates his old man, but, of course, he also worships Big J...

The Gypsy Storyteller
The Gypsy Storyteller Friendship. Love. Lust. Betrayal. Freedom. An often excruciating cycle we all must pass through at least once in our lives... Thomas William Simpson, the acclaimed author of This Way Madness Lies, follows his impressive debut novel with an extraordinary work of pure storytelling magic. The Gypsy Storyteller tells the tale of two young men whose lives, from the time of their births, are fatefully linked. It is also the story of a devastating lovers' triangle spinning wildly out of control. Growing up in an affluent suburb of New York City, Matthew Chandler and Daniel Hawthorn have much in common. But they are, in fact, polar opposites, emotionally and psychologically. Ma...

The Editor
Sam Adams had the perfect life: a beautiful wife and son, a job that he loved, and a comfortable home in the suburbs. But a flat tire one Easter Sunday led to the ultimate nightmare. Now Sam must put his life back together. He rents a small cottage on a secluded country estate. His new landlord is beautiful, mysterious, and blind. Far from being a helpless victim of her blindness, Evelyn Richmond is playing a strange game with Sam's mind--and soul. What does the seductive and enigmatic Mrs. Richmond really want? Is she merely a bored and lonely woman--or a dangerous sexual temptress? Sam finds himself obsessed with and possessed by this sensuous and unsettling woman, caught in her carefully spun web of dark secrets and forbidden eroticism. Sam Adams has no idea how far Evelyn Richmond will go, beyond what limits she will push him, or where their bizarre courtship will end. Nor will you... If you think that you are beyond surprise, that nothing can shock you...think again.
