Description of Lucky Shot by B.J. Daniels


He’s determined to uncover the truth behind a decades-old disappearance—even if it kills him…

When hotshot reporter Max Malone gets a rare shot of Buckmaster Hamilton with a blonde woman near Beartooth, Montana, he chases down one of the senator’s daughters to verify that the woman is his supposedly long-dead first wife. But Kat Hamilton won’t give him the time of day, let alone any information about her mother.

With his tousled blond hair, sexy stubble and an old straw cowboy hat topping off his long, lean frame, Kat can just tell Max isn’t used to female sources denying him anything. But when her own life is put in jeopardy, it’s Max who comes to her rescue. Seems someone is prepared to kill to keep the past in the past. Kat can’t deny she needs Max to find out what happened to her mother, but will getting closer and closer to each other lead them to the truth… or to danger?

Ken MurrayThanks to Amanda Harkness of Meryl Moss Media, I am giving away one print copy of ‘Eulogy’ By Ken Murray.

Description of Eulogy By Ken Murray


The controlled and calm life of William Oaks is shattered when his parents die suddenly in a car crash. A reclusive paper conservator at a renowned Toronto museum, William must face the obsessions and denials that have formed him: delusional family history, religious fundamentalism, living with unhappy parents who are constantly bickering, forced starvation, secrets and get-rich-quick schemes. Memory and facts collide, threatening to derail his life and career as William feverishly prepares for an important exhibition on the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

Ken Murray’s powerfully written debut novel, EULOGY (Tightrope Books) explores an unusual, Rapture-obsessed fundamentalist Christian family that places all of its hopes on catastrophic destruction. The only offspring of a sad marriage, William practices self-flagellation, since being disappointed with salvation was a damnable sin, and experiences tremendous self-doubt because of his upbringing. Murray writes, “When the timbers of your house are cemented with bullshit, you ignore the smell and hope for the bullshit to hold.” He hides in his lonely, quiet world away from other humans, but is it enough to survive his traumatic upbringing?

Thomas FuchsThanks to Maria Moloney of  John Hunt Publishing, I am giving away one print copy of  ‘Digby’s Hollywood Story’ by Thomas Fuchs.

Description of Digby’s Hollywood Story by Thomas Fuchs


Digby s Hollywood Story is a novella set in Hollywood in the years 1946-1949. The eponymous Digby is a cop on a movie-studio security force dealing with, among others, an aspiring actress who is unreliable in her affections, a clever screenwriter and an action star who is also a cross-dresser. But the book isn’t really about any of these people. It is, rather, an attempt to explore, and experiment with, the difference between what really happens and the stories we tell.

About Thomas FuchsThomas Fuchs
