Mike Gayle

All the Lonely People

September 28th at 2:00 PM EST

Maggie Shipstead

“...a soaring work of historical fiction about a “lady pilot” in the mid-20th century. Indeed, so convincingly does Shipstead stitch her fictional heroine into the daring flight paths of early aviators that you’ll be convinced that you remember the tragic day her plane disappeared.”  ―Ron Charles, The Washington Post

Mike Gayle

“I'm such a fan of Mike's, and think this is absolutely his best yet. The characters are so warm and so real, and the issues of loneliness and displacement are so very topical and important.”  —Clare Mackintosh, New York Times bestselling author

Maryanne O'Brien

The Elevated Communicator: How to Master Your Style and Strengthen Well-Being at Work

October 4th at 2:00 PM EST

Dean Jobb

The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream

October 5th at 2:00 PM EST

Maryanne O'Brien

“The Elevated Communicator draws a clear connection among communication, stress, and well-being. Maryanne’s daily practices not only help you communicate more effectively but also reduce the hidden stressors that take such a profound toll on our emotional and mental health.”  —Dondeena Bradley, author of Living Full Circle

Dean Jobb

“Despite his repugnant subject, Jobb’s excellent storytelling makes the book a pleasure to read …. Judicious shifts in time period … keep the narrative moving, (with) carefully chosen digressions into the histories of poison, surgery and law enforcement.”   —W. M. Akers, The New York Times
