Kim Michele Richardson (Author)

Grim yet ultimately inspiring, this harrowing biography catalogues years of institutional abuse that took place in the Saint Thomas–Saint Vincent Orphan Asylum, a Catholic orphanage in Anchorage, Kentucky. After many years of neglect by their drug-addicted mother, Kim and her three older sisters were abandoned to the uncharitable care of the Sisters of Charity. Detailing daily regimens of physical and mental abuse at the hands of the nuns, this chilling memoir explains how the Roman Catholic Church kept the orphanage hidden from prying eyes, miles from any main thoroughfare, allowing mistreatment to continue for decades.

MADicine.pngMADicine

A Bane Thriller, Derek Armstrong
ISBN 9781601640178

"In his follow-up to the excellent The Game (2007), Armstrong takes on a whole new set of challenges....Armstrong blends comedy, parody, and adventure in genuinely innovative ways. An ambitious attempt from a writer of abundant talent."Booklist

"Detective Alban Bane's second outing takes a satirical look at genetics research companies, zombie films and more." Publishers Weekly

What happens when an engineered virus, meant to virally "cure" psychopathically violent patents, is let loose on the world? And what chance does the world have when a rescue organization named WART (World Advance Response Taskforce) is our only hope?

A virus of rage sweeps all nations with sometimes funny and sometimes scary results. Armstrong’s latest Bane thriller (after The Game) satirizes in true “Bane-style” the medical virus thriller genre and zombie movies in one suspenseful but amusing sweep.  Fans of “brilliance in which Armstrong blends comedy, parody, and adventure in genuinely innovative ways” (Booklist) won’t want to miss this adventure!

Bane must “chase” the rampaging virus around the world, from Venice to Hong Kong, hunting for a cure and the cause. Bane realizes the virus may be the work of an old “nemesis" and recruits a team of "angels" —a comical salute to Charlie's Angels—to rescue the world. The savvy doctor Kenner, playful pop star Panji, and the eccentric Nam, a psychic who relies on I Ching for answers, are bizarre group of heroes — charming, witty, funny, and memorable.

bathtub.pngBathtub Admirals

Jeff Huber

ISBN 9781601640192

janeology.png Janeology

Karen Harrington

ISBN 9781601640208

"Beautifully written, compellingly crafted, Janeology lures the reader into a world that few of us understand, but all of us need to know.  This affecting story, with its brilliant array of genial, selfish, troubled, and plucky characters, accomplishes a wonderful feat by revealing specific and universal truths within all families.  It will leave you wondering if the author, Karen Harrington, was peeking in the window of our own homes.”
 • Donald T. Phillips, Best-selling author of Unto Us a Child: The True Story of an American Family, Lincoln on Leadership, and twenty other books.  


Tom is certain he is living the American dream. With twins and lovely wife Jane, and a house on the beach, life couldn't be better. Until one day in June, the police tell him the unthinkable—his wife has drowned their toddler son, while his daughter clings to life in the hospital.

In this debut novel about love, loss and family legacy, Karen Harrington deftly illustrates the ways nature and nurture weave the fabric of one woman’s life—and renders a portrait of one man left in its tragic wake.

Until the wrecked-by-life young Buddy Baker arrives, bent on murder.

hunting.png Hunting the King

A thriller by Peter Clenott

ISBN 9781601641489

Whose remains are in it? Are they related to the mysterious Gospel of Hannaniah, the alleged daughter of Jesus of Nazareth? Will the revelation of her shocking findings destroy the church and the faith of billions?

Peter Clenott weaves a gripping tale of intrigue, betrayal and ruthless ambition, set in the treacherous Middle East. A page-turner until the final stunning scenes.

  • “An intelligent debut about the race to uncover the most prized archaeological find of all time ... Like The Da Vinci Code, Hunting the King is based on the premise that Jesus had a child by Mary Magdalene ... Clenott manages to create a story that is entertaining and wholly his own.” —ForeWord
  • “A very readable thriller ... Da Vinci Code-like draw of this compelling variation on the familiar theme of a lost artifact that could change the world. Fans of intellectual thrillers and historical fiction will find a worthy new voice in Clenott. With the ease of a seasoned novelist ... Clenott manages to create a story that is entertaining and wholly his own.” —Booklist

callous.png Callous

TK Kenyon, author of Rabid

ISBN  9781601640222

"Impressive." Publishers Weekly, review of Rabid

"Kenyon is definitely a keeper." Booklist starred review of Rabid

In typical TK Kenyon genre-bending style, Callous is Our Town meets The Crucible in a paranoia-fest as neighbor suspects neighbor of being a murderer, a serial killer, or worse, and relationships spin out of control.

When Zeke James’s pretty, blonde daughter disappears in the middle of the night, ADA Diane Marshall and her husband Deputy Max Konstantin investigate the usual leads, including the girl’s odd, conservative church and her father’s strange business dealings. When a forensic tech, Vanessa Allen, thinks she sees signs of a serial killer and a teenage girl, P.J. Lessing, remembers hearing and then seeing a Satanic cult, the small town of New Canaan, Texas, explodes with paranoia. Callous is as much an exploration of social paranoia as clever crime novel with a labyrinthine plot.
