"Nothing but a counterfeit cowboy." That's how veterinarian and horse farm owner Dr. Shelby Masters contemptuously describes the number-one male country music singer. Strapped for cash when her prize stallion is stolen, she is forced to spend six weeks with the man, teaching him enough to do his own riding in the western movie he's signed for.
Jordan Brooks can sing and play a guitar, but he can't ride a horse. He has a month and a half in which to learn, and he might just give strait-laced and distanced Shelby a few lessons of his own. For instance, how to make the most of a warm summer's night on a moonlit beach... Views: 19

Chet Hildebrandt should have had that opportunity. But now he'll teach a lesson to them all: his hot-shot astronaut sister, his philandering hypocritical father, and the CDC for not properly appreciating his work.

When you can’t trust anyone, how can you ever feel safe? In seventh grade, Maggie Camden was the class outcast. Every day, the other girls tripped her, pinched her, trapped her in the bathroom, told her she would be better off dead. Four years have passed since then, and Maggie’s tormentors seem to have moved on. The ringleader of them all, Raleigh Barringer, even moved out of town. But Maggie has never stopped watching for attacks, and every laugh still sounds like it’s at her expense. The only time Maggie feels at peace is when she’s hiking up in the mountains with her best friend, Nick. Lately, though, there’s a new sort of tension between the two of them—a tension both dangerous and delicious. But how can Maggie expect anything more out of Nick when all she’s ever been told is that she’s ugly, she’s pathetic, she’s unworthy of love? And how can she ever feel safe, now that Raleigh Barringer is suddenly—terrifyingly—back in town?** Views: 19

"White Piano holds an acute sense of what poetry is, its danger. . . . Brossard knows well that 'life is only good for living' and that living is incarnated in the material of language, that sounds, those carriers of sense, can propel it in front of the world."Le DevoirBetween the verbs quivering and streaming, White Piano unfolds its variations like musical scores. Pronouns and persons, poetry and prose: White Piano, superbly translated from the French, narrates a constellation of questions and offers a "language that cultivates its own craters of fire and savoir-vie."Nicole Brossard is one of North America's foremost practitioners of innovative writing.

Naples is an urban hive that has suffered many an earthquake over the centuries. The next such shakeup provides Domini with his premise. An American family, Jay and Barbara Lulucita and their five children, are something like innocents abroad. In the naive belief that they can help, they come to this crime-riddled and quake-broken city, which in recent years has also suffered another upheaval, namely, the impact of the illegal immigrants pouring in from Africa. There's a child faith-healer, rather a New Age version of the classic Catholic figure. There's an unnerving NATO officer, forever in the same outfit yet forever in disguise.Earthquake I.D. renders an Italy complex and exact. Views: 19
Zero Degrees 3 : Miss Murderess is available now!! Be sure to one click it. I watched as the blood oozed from Goody’s head after I’d emptied the gun’s clip. I was supposed to feel something, like remorse maybe, but I didn’t feel shit. He was my mother’s no good, perverted ass boyfriend and I was relieved to see him take his last breath. Good riddance . I’d caught my first body at the tender age of fourteen and I must admit that I actually enjoyed it. Life had taken me on a dark, destructive path since the gruesome murder of my father when I was nine. All of those bottled up emotions that I never dealt with came full circle and my actions sent me to juvenile detention for second degree murder. During my time in juvie I met my best friends Teena and Peaches. The three of us formed a very unlikely friendship, but we found a common bond. Calling ourselves “three the hard way”, we pulled off the wildest riot in the history of the institution. We planned to wreck the same havoc when we hit the streets. My nigga Buff, a streetwise hustler, held me down when I was in juvie just like he did when I was at the crib. He and his sexy ass brother Zeus had made a major come up in the dope game and my niggas promised to look out for me when I got out. After my release at the age of eighteen it was on! My life’s mission was to find the men who murdered my father and personally annihilate them. At a time when most girls were thinking about graduation and prom, I was planning the massacre of some of the most dangerous men in the criminal underworld. In my eighteen short years life had thrown some fucked up obstacles in my way, but I would soon realize that I hadn’t seen shit yet. In this painfully treacherous urban tale of drugs, sex money and murder you will experience the circumstances that turned a sweet little girl by the name of Zeaira Rowe into the cold blooded killer Zero Degrees.
