Thanks to Gavin Davies of John Hunt Publishing, I am giving away one print copy of ‘Life, Slightly’.

Description Life, Slightly by Nigel Jay Cooper


Two strangers, one bench. Two lives, one lie.

When Gavin meets Jackie on a bench in the local park, he thinks she’s a stranger. She knows better. She’s connected to him in ways he can’t yet imagine.
She swore she wouldn’t do this again but it’s real this time. So real, she might do something reckless and tell him everything. He’ll understand. It wasn’t her fault, not really. Perhaps he’ll forgive her, even if she can never forgive herself.

Description Summer Lightning By Roberta Silman


Summer Lightning by Roberta Silman is an important new historical novel that tells the story of an immigrant Jewish family from the challenging prewar years all the way through to the Kennedy assassination. Silman’s captivating characters take risks as they strengthen their ties to those they left behind in Europe, the dazzling Manhattan art scene of the 50’s and 60’s, and the African American community.

Award-winning audiobook narrator Carrington MacDuffie’s reading of Silman’s elegant prose is powerful and exciting.

<h2>Praise Summer Lightning By Roberta Silman

“ …what will resonate most is Silman’s intensely emotional depiction of the Kaplow’s commitment to family and helping others.” – Publishers Weekly
