  • Published to immediate acclaim in 1956 when he was twenty-two years old, Let Us Compare Mythologies is Leonard Cohen’s first book and contains poems written between the ages of fifteen and twenty.

  • A gripping new mystery from the author of The Wild Inside, set in the magnificent and brutal terrain of Glacier National Park

    In the darkening days of autumn, in a remote region near the Canadian border, a journalist has been murdered. Anne Marie Johnson was last seen with Reeve Landon, whose chocolate Labrador was part of an article she had been writing about a scientific canine research program. Now Landon is the prime suspect. Intensely private and paranoid, in a panic that he’ll be wrongfully arrested, he ventures deep into the woods. Even as he evades the detective, Landon secretly feels the whole thing is somehow deserved, a karmic punishment for a horrifying crime he committed as a young boy.

    While Montana FBI investigator Ali Paige is not officially assigned to the case, Landon—an ex-boyfriend and the father of her child—needs help. Ali has only one objective for snooping around the edges of an investigation she’s not authorized to pursue: to save her daughter the shame of having a father in jail and the pain of abandonment she endured as a child. As the clock ticks and the noose tightens around Landon’s neck, Ali isn’t sure how far she will go to find out the truth. And what if the truth is not something she wants to know?

    A Sharp Solitude is a study of two flawed characters, bonded by a child, trying to make their way in an extraordinary place where escape seems possible. But no one can ever really outrun their demons, even in the vast terrain of Glacier, the ultimate backdrop for a journey of the soul.

  • A feisty small-town girl and the Hollywood star who broke her heart

    An all-consuming love threatened by fame

    One last chance at forever

    Keri Ann Butler’s life changed on the night she met movie star Jack Eversea. She thought she knew a Jack that was very different from the man adored by fans the world over. In the wake of his betrayal and abandonment, Keri Ann has had to pick up and move forward with the life she was supposed to live and has put off far too long.

    Suddenly Jack is back, and his explanations for why he left seem more and more plausible—and his declarations more seductive. But being Jack’s latest tabloid accessory isn’t on Keri Ann’s career agenda, no matter how much she is attracted to him. And how can she ever trust him again?

    Jack knows he let slip through his fingers the only “real” thing that ever happened to him. And his hands have been tied to try and stop it—until now.

    Jack is now fighting to save his relationship with Keri Ann, even as his crazy life threatens to tear them apart once again. The question is, can he convince her that she can have it all, that she can have him, and that she can have him forever?

  • An orphaned, small-town, southern girl, held hostage by responsibility and self-doubt.

    A Hollywood A-list megastar, on the run from his latest scandal, with everything to lose.

    A chance encounter that leads to an unlikely arrangement and epic love affair that will change them both forever.

    When his costar and real-life girlfriend is caught cheating on him with her director, A-list hottie Jack Eversea heads to sleepy Butler Cove, South Carolina. He hopes the sultry southern heat in this tiny coastal Lowcountry town will hide him not only from the tabloids and his cheating girlfriend but also his increasingly vapid life and the people who run it. He doesn’t count on meeting Keri Ann Butler.

    Keri Ann has relied on herself so long, dealing with her family’s death and keeping up her family’s historic mansion, that beaus don’t figure into her equation—especially with the meager offering of eligible bachelors in Butler Cove. But fate has other plans.

    Keri Ann, suddenly face-to-face with the man who played the movie role of her favorite fictional character, finds herself yearning for everything she has previously avoided. And Jack must decide whether this funny, sassy girl is worth changing his life for, before his mistakes catch up to him.

  • “Don’t have a best friend that’s a girl”—this was the advice from my older cousin. I didn’t take it. Because he followed with, “friends don’t f**k friends. And you’ll want to f**k her.”

    It was terrible advice.

    My cousin should’ve told me that being best friends with Baylee Wright—since she was twelve—would be the best and worst decision of my life. He should have told me to protect her from what was coming. He should have told me that when a darkness crawled towards us, there’d be no safety net.

    Now I’ve signed back on to the same Vegas acrobatic show as Baylee, working together for the first time in years. And she tells me that she’s having trouble in a certain “area” of her life—because of our past.

    “You can help me fix it,” she says.

    And then she hands me a list.

  • The time is 1902, the setting eastern Oregon. Magic Child, a fifteen-year-old Native American girl, wanders into the wrong whorehouse looking for the right men.

    She finds Cameron and Greer, two gunmen taking a timeout from the game after an aborted job in Hawaii.

    Their violent past doesn’t concern Magic Child. She wants them to kill a monster for her, one she says lives in the ice caves under the basement of Miss Hawkline’s yellow house, and one she says has killed before.

    But the more she tells them about the monster, the more her story unravels until it isn’t clear if the monster is even real, or if anything else is.

    Richard Brautigan’s classic surrealist novel has inspired readers for decades with its wild, witty, and bizarre encounters with western-themed psychedelia.
