Immigration and murder in small-town America
El gavilan
Craig McDonald
The news is full of it: escalating tensions from illegal immigration, headless bodies hanging off bridges and bounties placed on lawmen on both sides of the border. New Austin, Ohio, is a town grappling with waves of undocumented workers who exert tremendous pressure on schools, police and city services. In the midst of the turmoil, three very different kinds of cops scramble to maintain control and impose order. But the rape-murder of a Mexican-American woman triggers a brutal chain of events that threatens to leave no survivors. El Gavilan is a novel of shifting alliances and whiplash switchbacks. Families are divided and careers and lives threatened. Friendships and ideals are tested and budding love affairs challenged. With its topical themes, shades-of-gray characters and dark canvas, El Gavilan is a novel for our charged times.

“As sobering and as urgent as tomorrow’s headlines, this searing novel traces the struggle of the residents of fictional New Austin, Ohio, to cope with out-of-control illegal Latino immigrants. McDonald deftly balances his ‘now’ against the ‘then’ backstory as he dissects one of America’s most tormenting social problems.”

The seventh Moe Prager mystery.
hurt machine
Reed Farrel Coleman
At a pre-wedding party for his daughter Sarah, Moe Prager is approached by his ex-wife and former PI partner Carmella Melendez. It seems Carmella’s estranged sister Alta has been murdered, but no one in New York City seems to care. Why? Alta, a FDNY EMT, and her partner had months earlier refused to give assistance to a dying man at a fancy downtown eatery. Moe decides to help Carmella as a means to distract himself from his own life-and-death struggle. Making headway on the case is no easy feat as no one, including Alta’s partner Maya Watson, wants to cooperate. Moe chips away until he discovers a cancer boiling just below the surface, a cancer whose symptoms include bureaucratic greed, sexual harassment, and blackmail. But is any of it connected to Alta’s brutal murder?

innocent monster
Reed Farrel Coleman
Seven years have passed since the brutal murder that tore Moe Prager’s family apart and it’s been six years since Moe’s brushed the dust off his PI license. But when his estranged daughter Sarah comes to him with a request he cannot refuse, Moe takes a deep breath and plunges back into the icy, opaque waters of secrets and lies. Sashi Bluntstone, an eleven-year-old art prodigy and daughter of Sarah’s dearest childhood friend, has been abducted. Three weeks into the investigation, the cops have gotten nowhere and the parents have gotten desperate. Desperation, the door through which Moe Prager always enters, swings wide open. Just as in Sashi’s paintings, there’s much more to the case than one can see at a glance. With the help of an ex-football star, Moe stumbles around the fringes of the New York art scene, trying to get a handle on where the art stops and the commerce begins. Much to Moe’s surprise and disgust, he discovers that Sashi is, on the one hand, revered as a cash cow and, on the other, reviled as a fraud and a joke. Suspects abound beyond the usual predators and pedophiles, for it is those closest to Sashi in life who have the most to gain from her death.

“This sixth Moe Prager novel is pretty much note-perfect. Coleman’s take on the art world as a den of iniquity is priceless, as is Moe himself— intelligent, street smart, and tough, especially for a sixtysomething. He’s also sophisticated, despite seeing himself as a ‘poor schmuck from Brooklyn.’ He’s a mensch, and his bone-deep world weariness and mordant sense of humor should enthrall lovers of old-school, toughtalking, loner private eyes (think Loren D. Estleman’s Amos Walker).”

My Wild Trip from Professor to New Journalist with outrageous Visits from Clint Eastwood, Reggie Jackson, larry Flynt, and other American Icons
Robert Ward with an Introduction by Roy Blount Jr.
Throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s, author Robert Ward lived a whirlwind life. After publishing Shedding Skin in 1972, a novel that won a National Endowment for the Arts Award and that Publishers Weekly called, ““The quintessential hippie ’60s novel,” Robert Ward decided to give journalism a try. What followed were two decades of assignments for New Times, GQ, SPORT, Rolling Stone, and other publications, covering the biggest stars of the sporting, music, art, and film worlds. This collection includes Ward’s celebrated story on Reggie Jackson that nearly tore the New York Yankees apart (and was later brought to life in an ESPN mini-series The Bronx is Burning), a profile of the “outlaw” country music movement of Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Jerry Jeff Walker, and David Allan Coe, and an insightful feature on Hustler publisher Larry Flynt as a young pornographer that almost cost Ward his life. Also included are essays about the former premier of Vietnam Nguyen Cao Ky trying to adjust to life in California; an aging Lee Marvin dealing with the survivor’s guilt from his time in World War II; an unsigned Bruce Springsteen playing his legendary showcase show; and profiles of Dr. J, LeRoy Nieman, Richard Pryor, Robert Mitchum, Tom Waits, and a variety of fringe characters on the American scene. In addition to the articles, Ward has written an essay tying these stories and the story of his life together.
Robert Ward (los Angeles, CA) is the author of eight novels, including Shedding Skin; Four Kinds of Rain, which was nominated for the Hammett Award and was a New York Times Notable Book; and Red Baker, which won the PEN West Award for Best Novel. Ward is a former writer and producer of Hill Street Blues, Miami Vice, and New York Undercover.

A Harry Stein soft-boiled murder mystery
• Second book in the Harry Stein Soft-Boiled Murder Mystery series • The first book in the series, Stein, Stoned was a 2010 Best of the Year
staff pick at The Poisoned Pen
• “Just when you thought you’d seen everything in detective fiction,
along comes PI Harry Stein, a shambling, abstaining dope connoisseur, trying to make a living and be a good father against the oddest of odds. This book is so funny, surprising, and compelling that, dare I say it, it practically gets you high.” —John Lithgow (on Stein, Stoned)
• “Harry fits comfortably into that delightfully comic line of slacker
sleuths—a tradition that runs from the Fletch novels through Newton Thornburg’s . . . Cutter and Bone and, of course, The Big Lebowski ” —Booklist (on Stein, Stoned)

Hal Ackerman
Last time it was stolen weed and knockoff designer shampoo. This time it is the seemingly trivial occurrence of a few pilfered honeybee colonies that propel former hippie and merry prankster, Harry Stein into the multi-trillion dollar world of the honeybee industry. In the presence of six trillion bees to pollinate millions of acres of almond trees, Stein, who is deathly allergic to bee stings, discovers the natural catastrophe of colony collapse, and a corrupt grab by organized AGROBIZ for all of the available water in Southern California. In his absence, Harry’s daughter Angie and Lila’s very attractive 17 year-old stepson find an elephant tusk that has seeped into Lila’s pool from the la Brea tar pits. When the rest of the skeleton emerges, it turns out not to be the prehistoric mammoth they’d hoped it would be, but a human being who just might have been murdered in the 1920s. The perpetrator of the 80 year-old murder is still alive and the most powerful man in Los Angeles will do anything necessary to keep the secret hidden.

dead Tease
Victoria Houston
A hot August afternoon and Midwest Clinic CEO John McNeil has been working late. Working on his latest conquest, that is. Jen Williams is twenty-six, in charge of graphics for the hospital’s PR division—and quite attractive in a healthy, athletic kind of way. She is quick to laugh and a little too quick to fall for guys. She is no virgin. And she is one of three women—including his wife—intimately familiar with McNeil. When Jen’s youthful body is found with a single stab wound through the heart, suspicion falls on both McNeil’s wife, who insists she is being stalked, and the striking hospital physician with whom he had just ended an affair. Pressure to find the killer falls on Loon Lake Police Chief Lewellyn “Lew” Ferris and Dr. Paul “Doc” Osborne, the retired dentist and forensic dental expert whom she has deputized to help with the investigation—when they are not taking a break for fishing and other personal pursuits. When the Mayor demands Lew take early retirement and Doc has to babysit his teenage granddaughter who won’t stop texting, the frustrations mount.

A novel of the Civil War at sea
• The third book in the Civil War at Sea trilogy • “In the exciting first of a projected trilogy featuring real-life
Confederate naval hero Cmdr. Rafael Semmes, mystery author Peffer (Old School Bones) spends as much time ashore as at sea . . .” Publishers Weekly on book one in the trilogy, Southern Seahawk
• “Peffer paints a convincing portrait of the destruction and desperation
felt on both sides and of the many small, heroic actions (or inactions) that might turn the tide of war.” Publishers Weekly on book two, Seahawk Hunting
• “Peffer bases his tale on well-researched facts, brought to life by his
novelist’s imagination.”—SAIL magazine
Seahawk Burning
Randall Peffer
This final volume in the Raphael Semmes Trilogy of Civil War Naval Thrillers, Seahawk Burning follows the real-life adventures of Confederate Captain Raphael Semmes and his ship the C.S.S. Alabama on the final legs of their reign of terror on the high seas. The novel chronicles Semmes’ rise to mythic stature as he becomes Lincoln’s public enemy number one, seizing and burning scores of Yankee ships in the Caribbean Sea, the south Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, and the South China Sea before heading to France for sanctuary . . . all the while dodging scores of Federal Navy ships pursuing him. Enemy vessels, spy games, mutinies, storms, and loneliness stock Semmes’ cruise during 1863-64. Meanwhile, back in the Lincoln White House, Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles tries to marshal his warships to catch Semmes and simultaneously protect his president from spies and assassins, one of whom is Semmes’ mistress. In addition to the main characters, the cast of Seahawk Burning includes historical figures from the governments and navies of the North and South as well as the Black Moses Harriet Tubman, John Wilkes Booth, and his fellow conspirators. All of the threads in this saga come together in a final showdown off Cherbourg, France, when Semmes decides to take the Alabama into battle against the U.S.S. Kearsarge, captained by his old friend John A. Winslow. It is one of the greatest naval battles in history.

On the Bro’d
Mike lacher
A Parody of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road
We posted up at a sports bar and threw down the game plan—we were gonna party together and get wild forever. Dean kept checking his phone a bunch, sending texts and looking at Facebook to see what’s good. “Looks like I’ve got some solid dudes chilling in Denver. We gotta go hang with those dudes. They’re probably up to some real crazy shit. You feel me?” Fuck yeah. We were gonna get wilder now than we’d ever gotten before. Set in the tumultuous era that was 2010, On the Bro’d tells the story of one restless bro shot-gunning Nattie Light, maxing out his biceps, and smashing honeys across the American night. He drifts from state to state, hoping that somewhere along the line he will achieve a greater plane of existence as a solid badass player, while getting totally hammered along the way. Whether readers are excited (or incited) as true Keroauc fans or killing time waiting for Snooki’s latest literary masterpiece to drop, they’ll know what’s up when they can't put down On the Bro’d.

Max Brallier and Geoff Baker
The Facts and Stats Every Real Guy Should Know
The last time a guy felt like a tool had nothing to do with his inability to tie the perfect Windsor, select the correct fork for the second course, or fight off a bear (that guy’s dead). He did feel like a dumb-ass when he didn’t know who said, “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”, referred to a nickel D as a dime, and thought the Enzo was a Porsche. That’s the stuff he’s supposed to know. Proper man-iquette, useful know-how, and ridiculous survival scenarios all have their place in the man-lit library. But now it’s time to add the essential facts into the mix. So whether he’s testing his own knowledge or busting his buddies on their lack-of, Man Enough? lays down some serious schooling so he doesn’t get seriously schooled.

The Science Behind Being a Guy
Who would’ve known there was so much thought behind a guy’s every move? Sure, he’s impressed bystanders with the lengths he’ll go in order to reach the remote without getting out of the recliner. But his mission’s success is just dumb luck . . . right? Better go to the replay. Whereas a simpleton might think his foot kicking down on the magazine and sending the clicker sailing through the air and into his outstretched hand is a fluke—it’s actually a very calculated move. The angles of impact and trajectory were carefully thought out. Drag and resistance were factored in. And velocity was figured in order to time the catch perfectly. Not as easy as first thought. Physics for Men shows readers that there’s a science behind being that awesome.

It will always be a good idea to purchase this book
• The first humorous book that shows readers how their seemingly-
beneficial actions set in motion dangerous consequences
• Fans of movies with butterfly effects, such as Source Code, Back to the
Future, Donnie Darko, Memento, and 12 Monkeys will enjoy this book

it Seemed like a good idea . . .
Meghan Rowland and Chris Turner-Neal
A Cautionary Guide to Avoiding 101 of life’s Potentially Most-Regrettable Decisions
“Marty, we’ve already agreed that having information about the future can have disastrous consequences. Even if your intentions are good, it can backfire drastically!”
—Dr. Emmett Brown in Back to the Future Doc was right to caution about the disastrous consequences of one’s actions. However, why wouldn’t readers want to know how their actions affect their future? In It Seemed Like a Good Idea . . ., authors Meghan Rowland and Chris Turner-Neal provide readers with the seemingly beneficial, impulsive choices they could make then show the fallout from that downward-spiraling butterfly effect. Readers will be properly warned that their decisions now have serious repercussions later, such as: • Using a neti pot: Forty-five seconds later, you’re choking on salt water and mucus; forty-six seconds later, you glare down at your corpse, which is wearing Scooby Doo boxers and a torn sports bra • Going on The Real World: Two years later, after unceremoniously being kicked off the show, you agree to go on a Real World/Road Rules Challenge to recoup the money lost from self-producing your acoustic Christian-rock album • Holding a séance: One minute later, you’ve accidentally summoned the demon J’ahnkan-Di, Knight of Wrath and Breaker of the Eight Seals So, readers must discover and contain their ripple effects right away because they don’t have a time machine to save their asses.
Meghan Rowland (Washington, DC) and Chris Turner-Neal (Philadelphia, PA) are the authors of The Misanthrope’s Guide to Life and Brainwashing for Beginners. They also write the award-winning comedy blog, www.2birds1blog.com, a collection of crass musings, investigative reporting, and sarcasm; wildly hailed as “The Thinking Man’s Beavis and Butthead,” the blog has been recognized by NPR, the Washington Post, and the Blogger’s Choice Awards.

Perfect pitch is the ability to identify or reproduce tones without any accompanying context. For instance, when a note is played on a piano, a person with perfect pitch is able to name and/or sing in that key. While perfect pitch is not a prerequisite for musical prowess, many noted composers and musicians—from Mozart to Mariah Carey—have been gifted with this talent.

The Myths, legends, and lore
“ A mermaid found a swimming lad, Picked him for her own, Pressed her body to his body, Laughed; and plunging down Forgot in cruel happiness That even lovers drown.”
—William Butler Yeats For centuries, people have been fascinated and enchanted by tales of mermaids. These watery temptresses can be found in folklore and mythology from every tradition in the world. From the Irish merrows who come on land to search for human husbands, to the fake Fiji Mermaid made popular by P.T. Barnum, these sea maidens (and sometimes men) have always been shrouded in mystery. Mermaids delves into the numerous myths surrounding these enigmatic beings, explores the common symbols associated with them, and presents tales of merfolk from around the world.

Sprouted grains are a powerhouse of nutrition. Sprouting activates food enzymes, increases vitamin content, and neutralizes “antinutrients” like phytic acid that can block absorption of minerals. Sprouts are easier to digest, and research indicates that they can help lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, and control bloodsugar levels. Sprouts and sprouted grain flours can be used to make healthier versions of many popular and favorite recipes. Step-by-step instructions for sprouting, dehydrating, and grinding flour at home are also included. This complete guide provides everything readers need to maximize health and vitality by adding nutrient-rich living foods to their diet.

• In 2006, two self-proclaimed Jedi Knights requested the United Nations

To bask in the adoration of fellow members bowing down at their greatness? Starting a new religion can be fun and profitable. Readers will laugh along with Philip Athans (founder, leader, and sole member of the Church of Phil), as he shows how to: • • • • Gather the flock and keep ‘em coming back for more Organize mysterious and complex rituals Interrogate (or just ridicule) the hell out of nonbelievers Recruit celebrity spokespeople, from Tom Cruise to Uma Thurman

You Know Who’s Awesome?

Ted Fox
Ever think . . . You know who’s awesome? Vegans. Didn’t think so. But you know who has? Vegans. This is their wake-up call. You Know Who’s Awesome? takes on those people, places, and things that have been too busy downing their own Kool-Aid to realize just how un-cool they’ve become. From the Black Eyed Peas (They’re like a Casio keyboard that’s been given the gift of language. Sort of.) to DiGiorno (No sh*t it’s not delivery; it’s been in the freezer since February) to that coworker who offers unsolicited fashion advice (Because reeking of tuna qualifies her to be the next Anna Wintour), no one (or thing) is safe.

A Revealing History of the World’s oldest Profession
Whore Stories is an entertaining and revealing look at the men and women who have blazed the bawdy trail of prostitution since the dawn of time, along with some folks you didn’t know began as whores but who have managed to make a dent in the public consciousness through more “reputable” occupations. This book’s aim is not to pass judgment on the morality of prostitution, nor whether or not it should be legalized, although it does shed light on a cultural phenomenon that’s gaining ground all over the world: a renewed interest in and novel attempts to make sense out of one of our more stigmatized icons: The Prostitute.

What You need to Know

Tom Moynihan
If you ask, they will tell. In a world where 200 million Tweets are sent per day and half a billion Friends are letting readers know what’s happening, everyone thinks they know what’s up. And sometimes, they actually do. What You Need to Know collects the definitely useful, but occasionally random things that fellow humans think readers need to know. Each entry gives a short explanation as to why people think it’s particularly important and then the actual how-to. From being able to say hello in five languages to mixing the perfect Bloody Mary to juggling three objects in the air, the information (and reasoning) will run the gamut. Now readers will know what everyone else expects them to know without having to ask.

Tuesday/New Year’s Day
Live in an Airport
The biggest problem you’ll face when bumming around in an airport is security. Short of wearing an invisibility cloak, there’s not much you can do to avoid the surveillance cameras and security guards. You need to buy time by looking like a passenger who hasn’t checked in yet. Carry a large suitcase stuffed with changes of clothes and various disguises, such as fake beards, glasses, and wigs. Every morning, dress up in a different disguise so that the security guards don’t realize you are planning on becoming a semi-permanent fixture.
If you took all the beer consumed in the United States in one year, you could fill one out of every twenty-five residential in-ground pools in the country. If you were to put that same beer in a single keg, that keg would measure 1,429 feet tall and 870 feet wide. If you were then to put it in standard twelve-ounce cans, it would amount to one can for every American over the age of twenty-one, each day of the week (except Sunday), for an entire year.

Eric Grzymkowski
There are “just the facts”—and then there are just the facts that will frighten the bejeezus out of even the toughest crowd.

Who cares about all those saccharine sweet sayings out there when the outright cruel stuff is much more interesting! Now, with a year’s worth of in-your-face quotes pulled from both from the usual suspects like Mae West and Mark Twain and such unexpected figures as Beatrix Potter, Abraham Lincoln, and Audrey Hepburn, enlightened readers will laugh, gasp, and educate themselves about the not-sonice things famous people have gotten away with saying.

The “New Nordic Cuisine” is having its moment in the spotlight. The Danish restaurant NOMA was recently named the world’s number one restaurant in the annual Pellegrino survey. Scandinavian products—like smoked salmon, hearty rye and sourdough breads, and lingonberry jam—are increasingly popular with U.S. consumers. And Nordic cooking incorporates many of today’s most popular food trends: local/seasonal foods, smoking, home preserving, and “slow food” preparation. Packed with hundreds of recipes, from simple breakfasts to elaborate smorgasbords, this comprehensive cookbook introduces American cooks to the healthful benefits of the Nordic lifestyle using fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients.
Kari Schoening Diehl (Bellingham, WA) is a seasoned food writer, editor, and photographer. She is About.com’s Guide to Scandinavian Food and a feature writer for The Viking Magazine.
For would-be entrepreneurs with the next great idea, starting their own business and following their passion can be a very appealing venture. The Everything® Start Your Own Business Book, 4th Edition with CD is the perfect introduction to the world of small business. With a handy CD with every form from business plans to accounting templates, this all-in-one manual is the only thing budding entrepreneurs need to see their dream flourish and grow!

When a young reporter is killed in a hit-and-run accident, freelance writer Robyn Guthrie agrees to finish one of the stories the reporter had been writing for the local newspaper.

Immigration and murder in small-town America
El gavilan
Craig McDonald
The news is full of it: escalating tensions from illegal immigration, headless bodies hanging off bridges and bounties placed on lawmen on both sides of the border. New Austin, Ohio, is a town grappling with waves of undocumented workers who exert tremendous pressure on schools, police and city services. In the midst of the turmoil, three very different kinds of cops scramble to maintain control and impose order. But the rape-murder of a Mexican-American woman triggers a brutal chain of events that threatens to leave no survivors. El Gavilan is a novel of shifting alliances and whiplash switchbacks. Families are divided and careers and lives threatened. Friendships and ideals are tested and budding love affairs challenged. With its topical themes, shades-of-gray characters and dark canvas, El Gavilan is a novel for our charged times.

“As sobering and as urgent as tomorrow’s headlines, this searing novel traces the struggle of the residents of fictional New Austin, Ohio, to cope with out-of-control illegal Latino immigrants. McDonald deftly balances his ‘now’ against the ‘then’ backstory as he dissects one of America’s most tormenting social problems.”

The seventh Moe Prager mystery.
hurt machine
Reed Farrel Coleman
At a pre-wedding party for his daughter Sarah, Moe Prager is approached by his ex-wife and former PI partner Carmella Melendez. It seems Carmella’s estranged sister Alta has been murdered, but no one in New York City seems to care. Why? Alta, a FDNY EMT, and her partner had months earlier refused to give assistance to a dying man at a fancy downtown eatery. Moe decides to help Carmella as a means to distract himself from his own life-and-death struggle. Making headway on the case is no easy feat as no one, including Alta’s partner Maya Watson, wants to cooperate. Moe chips away until he discovers a cancer boiling just below the surface, a cancer whose symptoms include bureaucratic greed, sexual harassment, and blackmail. But is any of it connected to Alta’s brutal murder?

innocent monster
Reed Farrel Coleman
Seven years have passed since the brutal murder that tore Moe Prager’s family apart and it’s been six years since Moe’s brushed the dust off his PI license. But when his estranged daughter Sarah comes to him with a request he cannot refuse, Moe takes a deep breath and plunges back into the icy, opaque waters of secrets and lies. Sashi Bluntstone, an eleven-year-old art prodigy and daughter of Sarah’s dearest childhood friend, has been abducted. Three weeks into the investigation, the cops have gotten nowhere and the parents have gotten desperate. Desperation, the door through which Moe Prager always enters, swings wide open. Just as in Sashi’s paintings, there’s much more to the case than one can see at a glance. With the help of an ex-football star, Moe stumbles around the fringes of the New York art scene, trying to get a handle on where the art stops and the commerce begins. Much to Moe’s surprise and disgust, he discovers that Sashi is, on the one hand, revered as a cash cow and, on the other, reviled as a fraud and a joke. Suspects abound beyond the usual predators and pedophiles, for it is those closest to Sashi in life who have the most to gain from her death.

“This sixth Moe Prager novel is pretty much note-perfect. Coleman’s take on the art world as a den of iniquity is priceless, as is Moe himself— intelligent, street smart, and tough, especially for a sixtysomething. He’s also sophisticated, despite seeing himself as a ‘poor schmuck from Brooklyn.’ He’s a mensch, and his bone-deep world weariness and mordant sense of humor should enthrall lovers of old-school, toughtalking, loner private eyes (think Loren D. Estleman’s Amos Walker).”

My Wild Trip from Professor to New Journalist with outrageous Visits from Clint Eastwood, Reggie Jackson, larry Flynt, and other American Icons
Robert Ward with an Introduction by Roy Blount Jr.
Throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s, author Robert Ward lived a whirlwind life. After publishing Shedding Skin in 1972, a novel that won a National Endowment for the Arts Award and that Publishers Weekly called, ““The quintessential hippie ’60s novel,” Robert Ward decided to give journalism a try. What followed were two decades of assignments for New Times, GQ, SPORT, Rolling Stone, and other publications, covering the biggest stars of the sporting, music, art, and film worlds. This collection includes Ward’s celebrated story on Reggie Jackson that nearly tore the New York Yankees apart (and was later brought to life in an ESPN mini-series The Bronx is Burning), a profile of the “outlaw” country music movement of Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Jerry Jeff Walker, and David Allan Coe, and an insightful feature on Hustler publisher Larry Flynt as a young pornographer that almost cost Ward his life. Also included are essays about the former premier of Vietnam Nguyen Cao Ky trying to adjust to life in California; an aging Lee Marvin dealing with the survivor’s guilt from his time in World War II; an unsigned Bruce Springsteen playing his legendary showcase show; and profiles of Dr. J, LeRoy Nieman, Richard Pryor, Robert Mitchum, Tom Waits, and a variety of fringe characters on the American scene. In addition to the articles, Ward has written an essay tying these stories and the story of his life together.
Robert Ward (los Angeles, CA) is the author of eight novels, including Shedding Skin; Four Kinds of Rain, which was nominated for the Hammett Award and was a New York Times Notable Book; and Red Baker, which won the PEN West Award for Best Novel. Ward is a former writer and producer of Hill Street Blues, Miami Vice, and New York Undercover.

A Harry Stein soft-boiled murder mystery
• Second book in the Harry Stein Soft-Boiled Murder Mystery series • The first book in the series, Stein, Stoned was a 2010 Best of the Year
staff pick at The Poisoned Pen
• “Just when you thought you’d seen everything in detective fiction,
along comes PI Harry Stein, a shambling, abstaining dope connoisseur, trying to make a living and be a good father against the oddest of odds. This book is so funny, surprising, and compelling that, dare I say it, it practically gets you high.” —John Lithgow (on Stein, Stoned)

sleuths—a tradition that runs from the Fletch novels through Newton Thornburg’s . . . Cutter and Bone and, of course, The Big Lebowski ” —Booklist (on Stein, Stoned)

Hal Ackerman
Last time it was stolen weed and knockoff designer shampoo. This time it is the seemingly trivial occurrence of a few pilfered honeybee colonies that propel former hippie and merry prankster, Harry Stein into the multi-trillion dollar world of the honeybee industry. In the presence of six trillion bees to pollinate millions of acres of almond trees, Stein, who is deathly allergic to bee stings, discovers the natural catastrophe of colony collapse, and a corrupt grab by organized AGROBIZ for all of the available water in Southern California. In his absence, Harry’s daughter Angie and Lila’s very attractive 17 year-old stepson find an elephant tusk that has seeped into Lila’s pool from the la Brea tar pits. When the rest of the skeleton emerges, it turns out not to be the prehistoric mammoth they’d hoped it would be, but a human being who just might have been murdered in the 1920s. The perpetrator of the 80 year-old murder is still alive and the most powerful man in Los Angeles will do anything necessary to keep the secret hidden.

dead Tease
Victoria Houston
A hot August afternoon and Midwest Clinic CEO John McNeil has been working late. Working on his latest conquest, that is. Jen Williams is twenty-six, in charge of graphics for the hospital’s PR division—and quite attractive in a healthy, athletic kind of way. She is quick to laugh and a little too quick to fall for guys. She is no virgin. And she is one of three women—including his wife—intimately familiar with McNeil. When Jen’s youthful body is found with a single stab wound through the heart, suspicion falls on both McNeil’s wife, who insists she is being stalked, and the striking hospital physician with whom he had just ended an affair. Pressure to find the killer falls on Loon Lake Police Chief Lewellyn “Lew” Ferris and Dr. Paul “Doc” Osborne, the retired dentist and forensic dental expert whom she has deputized to help with the investigation—when they are not taking a break for fishing and other personal pursuits. When the Mayor demands Lew take early retirement and Doc has to babysit his teenage granddaughter who won’t stop texting, the frustrations mount.

A novel of the Civil War at sea
• The third book in the Civil War at Sea trilogy • “In the exciting first of a projected trilogy featuring real-life
Confederate naval hero Cmdr. Rafael Semmes, mystery author Peffer (Old School Bones) spends as much time ashore as at sea . . .” Publishers Weekly on book one in the trilogy, Southern Seahawk
• “Peffer paints a convincing portrait of the destruction and desperation
felt on both sides and of the many small, heroic actions (or inactions) that might turn the tide of war.” Publishers Weekly on book two, Seahawk Hunting
• “Peffer bases his tale on well-researched facts, brought to life by his
novelist’s imagination.”—SAIL magazine
Seahawk Burning
Randall Peffer
This final volume in the Raphael Semmes Trilogy of Civil War Naval Thrillers, Seahawk Burning follows the real-life adventures of Confederate Captain Raphael Semmes and his ship the C.S.S. Alabama on the final legs of their reign of terror on the high seas. The novel chronicles Semmes’ rise to mythic stature as he becomes Lincoln’s public enemy number one, seizing and burning scores of Yankee ships in the Caribbean Sea, the south Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, and the South China Sea before heading to France for sanctuary . . . all the while dodging scores of Federal Navy ships pursuing him. Enemy vessels, spy games, mutinies, storms, and loneliness stock Semmes’ cruise during 1863-64. Meanwhile, back in the Lincoln White House, Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles tries to marshal his warships to catch Semmes and simultaneously protect his president from spies and assassins, one of whom is Semmes’ mistress. In addition to the main characters, the cast of Seahawk Burning includes historical figures from the governments and navies of the North and South as well as the Black Moses Harriet Tubman, John Wilkes Booth, and his fellow conspirators. All of the threads in this saga come together in a final showdown off Cherbourg, France, when Semmes decides to take the Alabama into battle against the U.S.S. Kearsarge, captained by his old friend John A. Winslow. It is one of the greatest naval battles in history.

An axed-out adventure for the bea(s)t generation
• Forget the played-out mash-up. This is a straight-up parody as
Kerouac’s classic gets re-spun as a cross-country bro-trip
• Jack K. still beasts—he and his book have over 400,000 Facebook
Likes and a movie adaptation hitting the screens at the end of the year
• Perfect for recent college grads on the road to their brofessional lives
On the Bro’d
Mike lacher
A Parody of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road
We posted up at a sports bar and threw down the game plan—we were gonna party together and get wild forever. Dean kept checking his phone a bunch, sending texts and looking at Facebook to see what’s good. “Looks like I’ve got some solid dudes chilling in Denver. We gotta go hang with those dudes. They’re probably up to some real crazy shit. You feel me?” Fuck yeah. We were gonna get wilder now than we’d ever gotten before. Set in the tumultuous era that was 2010, On the Bro’d tells the story of one restless bro shot-gunning Nattie Light, maxing out his biceps, and smashing honeys across the American night. He drifts from state to state, hoping that somewhere along the line he will achieve a greater plane of existence as a solid badass player, while getting totally hammered along the way. Whether readers are excited (or incited) as true Keroauc fans or killing time waiting for Snooki’s latest literary masterpiece to drop, they’ll know what’s up when they can't put down On the Bro’d.

Max Brallier and Geoff Baker
The Facts and Stats Every Real Guy Should Know
The last time a guy felt like a tool had nothing to do with his inability to tie the perfect Windsor, select the correct fork for the second course, or fight off a bear (that guy’s dead). He did feel like a dumb-ass when he didn’t know who said, “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”, referred to a nickel D as a dime, and thought the Enzo was a Porsche. That’s the stuff he’s supposed to know. Proper man-iquette, useful know-how, and ridiculous survival scenarios all have their place in the man-lit library. But now it’s time to add the essential facts into the mix. So whether he’s testing his own knowledge or busting his buddies on their lack-of, Man Enough? lays down some serious schooling so he doesn’t get seriously schooled.

The Science Behind Being a Guy
Who would’ve known there was so much thought behind a guy’s every move? Sure, he’s impressed bystanders with the lengths he’ll go in order to reach the remote without getting out of the recliner. But his mission’s success is just dumb luck . . . right? Better go to the replay. Whereas a simpleton might think his foot kicking down on the magazine and sending the clicker sailing through the air and into his outstretched hand is a fluke—it’s actually a very calculated move. The angles of impact and trajectory were carefully thought out. Drag and resistance were factored in. And velocity was figured in order to time the catch perfectly. Not as easy as first thought. Physics for Men shows readers that there’s a science behind being that awesome.

Meghan Rowland and Chris Turner-Neal
A Cautionary Guide to Avoiding 101 of life’s Potentially Most-Regrettable Decisions
“Marty, we’ve already agreed that having information about the future can have disastrous consequences. Even if your intentions are good, it can backfire drastically!”
—Dr. Emmett Brown in Back to the Future Doc was right to caution about the disastrous consequences of one’s actions. However, why wouldn’t readers want to know how their actions affect their future? In It Seemed Like a Good Idea . . ., authors Meghan Rowland and Chris Turner-Neal provide readers with the seemingly beneficial, impulsive choices they could make then show the fallout from that downward-spiraling butterfly effect. Readers will be properly warned that their decisions now have serious repercussions later, such as: • Using a neti pot: Forty-five seconds later, you’re choking on salt water and mucus; forty-six seconds later, you glare down at your corpse, which is wearing Scooby Doo boxers and a torn sports bra • Going on The Real World: Two years later, after unceremoniously being kicked off the show, you agree to go on a Real World/Road Rules Challenge to recoup the money lost from self-producing your acoustic Christian-rock album • Holding a séance: One minute later, you’ve accidentally summoned the demon J’ahnkan-Di, Knight of Wrath and Breaker of the Eight Seals So, readers must discover and contain their ripple effects right away because they don’t have a time machine to save their asses.
Meghan Rowland (Washington, DC) and Chris Turner-Neal (Philadelphia, PA) are the authors of The Misanthrope’s Guide to Life and Brainwashing for Beginners. They also write the award-winning comedy blog, www.2birds1blog.com, a collection of crass musings, investigative reporting, and sarcasm; wildly hailed as “The Thinking Man’s Beavis and Butthead,” the blog has been recognized by NPR, the Washington Post, and the Blogger’s Choice Awards.

Perfect pitch is the ability to identify or reproduce tones without any accompanying context. For instance, when a note is played on a piano, a person with perfect pitch is able to name and/or sing in that key. While perfect pitch is not a prerequisite for musical prowess, many noted composers and musicians—from Mozart to Mariah Carey—have been gifted with this talent.

The Myths, legends, and lore
“ A mermaid found a swimming lad, Picked him for her own, Pressed her body to his body, Laughed; and plunging down Forgot in cruel happiness That even lovers drown.”
—William Butler Yeats For centuries, people have been fascinated and enchanted by tales of mermaids. These watery temptresses can be found in folklore and mythology from every tradition in the world. From the Irish merrows who come on land to search for human husbands, to the fake Fiji Mermaid made popular by P.T. Barnum, these sea maidens (and sometimes men) have always been shrouded in mystery. Mermaids delves into the numerous myths surrounding these enigmatic beings, explores the common symbols associated with them, and presents tales of merfolk from around the world.

Sprouted grains are a powerhouse of nutrition. Sprouting activates food enzymes, increases vitamin content, and neutralizes “antinutrients” like phytic acid that can block absorption of minerals. Sprouts are easier to digest, and research indicates that they can help lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, and control bloodsugar levels. Sprouts and sprouted grain flours can be used to make healthier versions of many popular and favorite recipes. Step-by-step instructions for sprouting, dehydrating, and grinding flour at home are also included. This complete guide provides everything readers need to maximize health and vitality by adding nutrient-rich living foods to their diet.

A Revealing History of the World’s oldest Profession
Whore Stories is an entertaining and revealing look at the men and women who have blazed the bawdy trail of prostitution since the dawn of time, along with some folks you didn’t know began as whores but who have managed to make a dent in the public consciousness through more “reputable” occupations. This book’s aim is not to pass judgment on the morality of prostitution, nor whether or not it should be legalized, although it does shed light on a cultural phenomenon that’s gaining ground all over the world: a renewed interest in and novel attempts to make sense out of one of our more stigmatized icons: The Prostitute.

If you ask, they will tell. In a world where 200 million Tweets are sent per day and half a billion Friends are letting readers know what’s happening, everyone thinks they know what’s up. And sometimes, they actually do. What You Need to Know collects the definitely useful, but occasionally random things that fellow humans think readers need to know. Each entry gives a short explanation as to why people think it’s particularly important and then the actual how-to. From being able to say hello in five languages to mixing the perfect Bloody Mary to juggling three objects in the air, the information (and reasoning) will run the gamut. Now readers will know what everyone else expects them to know without having to ask.

FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE

Tuesday/New Year’s Day
Live in an Airport
The biggest problem you’ll face when bumming around in an airport is security. Short of wearing an invisibility cloak, there’s not much you can do to avoid the surveillance cameras and security guards. You need to buy time by looking like a passenger who hasn’t checked in yet. Carry a large suitcase stuffed with changes of clothes and various disguises, such as fake beards, glasses, and wigs. Every morning, dress up in a different disguise so that the security guards don’t realize you are planning on becoming a semi-permanent fixture.
If you took all the beer consumed in the United States in one year, you could fill one out of every twenty-five residential in-ground pools in the country. If you were to put that same beer in a single keg, that keg would measure 1,429 feet tall and 870 feet wide. If you were then to put it in standard twelve-ounce cans, it would amount to one can for every American over the age of twenty-one, each day of the week (except Sunday), for an entire year.

The “New Nordic Cuisine” is having its moment in the spotlight. The Danish restaurant NOMA was recently named the world’s number one restaurant in the annual Pellegrino survey. Scandinavian products—like smoked salmon, hearty rye and sourdough breads, and lingonberry jam—are increasingly popular with U.S. consumers. And Nordic cooking incorporates many of today’s most popular food trends: local/seasonal foods, smoking, home preserving, and “slow food” preparation. Packed with hundreds of recipes, from simple breakfasts to elaborate smorgasbords, this comprehensive cookbook introduces American cooks to the healthful benefits of the Nordic lifestyle using fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients.
Kari Schoening Diehl (Bellingham, WA) is a seasoned food writer, editor, and photographer. She is About.com’s Guide to Scandinavian Food and a feature writer for The Viking Magazine.
For would-be entrepreneurs with the next great idea, starting their own business and following their passion can be a very appealing venture. The Everything® Start Your Own Business Book, 4th Edition with CD is the perfect introduction to the world of small business. With a handy CD with every form from business plans to accounting templates, this all-in-one manual is the only thing budding entrepreneurs need to see their dream flourish and grow!
