I don't care what my neighbors think of me. All that matters is that my son and I are safe. I've created a life for him so different than the one I had growing up. So let people talk. I stopped listening years ago.But when the rumors lead to a detective showing up on my doorstep? Not okay. Well, maybe it's okay. Because it doesn't seem like he's here to hurt me. He looks at me in a way that no one has in years. He didn't grow up in this small town and he doesn't know what people say about me. And when we talk, I forget that it's his job to put people behind bars. I think he forgets it too. The only problem is that there's some truth to what everyone says about me. After all, rumors have to start somewhere.

A three-book bundle, plus a fun bonus novella set at Christmas time. A psychotherapist whose passion for helping others often lands her in trouble… MULTIPLE MOTIVES: Kate is normally the one who helps other people cope with trauma and tragedy, but she herself has led a charmed life—until a killer rips it apart. When the lead detective assumes she and her lawyer friend, Rob Franklin, are lovers trying to eliminate their spouses, they must investigate on their own. Who hates them enough to want them both dead…and doesn’t seem to mind if others get caught in the crossfire? ILL-TIMED ENTANGLEMENTS: No good deed goes unpunished! When Kate agrees to help her friend Rob’s elderly aunt with a problem, the “problem” ends up dead and Kate ends up in the middle of a police investigation. To clear Aunt Betty of suspicion, Kate and her cohorts must wade through a brimming pool of suspects—some of whom have secrets they would prefer stay buried. Meanwhile the residents of Aunt Betty’s retirement community are continuing to die off…and not from natural causes. FAMILY FALLACIES: Kate returns from maternity leave to the work she loves, only to face a series of disturbing events: anonymous and vaguely threatening notes, a malpractice suit for supposedly planting false memories in a client’s mind, and when a party involved in the lawsuit turns up dead, Kate becomes a murder suspect. There is one bright note, however. She’s falling in love. Now if she could just get the ghost of her dead husband out of her head. And a bonus novella ~ An Unsaintly Season in St. Augustine: Even on vacation, Kate Huntington can’t seem to avoid other people’s troubles. While in St. Augustine, Florida for the Christmas holidays, she and her PI husband get caught up in trying to find a friend of Kate’s parents who’s gone missing. They soon discover that this isn’t just a case of a senior citizen wandering off. Can they reunite the elderly man with his wife before Christmas, or will others who mean him harm find him first?

“The undisputed king of the comic crime novel.” —Providence Journal Nobody does Florida weirdness quite like Tim Dorsey! Case in point: When Elves Attack, the New York Times bestselling author’s twisted Christmas present to his legion of adoring fans who can’t get enough of thrill-killer and Sunshine State historian Serge A. Storms, the most endearing psychopath since Dexter. Dorsey offers the perfect antidote for all those sappy feel-good holiday stories with this zany blockbuster extravaganza in which his wonderfully deranged serial killer Floridaphile delivers his special brand of Christmas cheer. More outrageous than Santa Claus in a Speedo, When Elves Attack serves up a Yuletide feast of the “pure gonzo humor” the New York Times Book Review enthusiastically attributes to this fearlessly funny writer. Think Bad Santa and National Lampoon’s Family Vacation, blend in Dorsey’s trademark appetite for destruction, and you’ve got hilarious crime fiction black comedy that anyone would be thrilled to discover stuffed in their Christmas stocking.

On her thirtieth birthday, Gwendolyn Reese receives an unexpected present from her widowed Aunt Bea: a grand tour of Europe in the company of Bea's Sudoku and Mahjongg Club. The prospect isn't entirely appealing. But when the gift she is expecting--an engagement ring from her boyfriend--doesn't materialize, Gwen decides to go. At first, Gwen approaches the trip as if it's the math homework she assigns her students, diligently checking monuments off her must-see list. But amid the bougainvillea and stunning vistas of southern Italy, something changes. Gwen begins to live in the moment--skipping down stone staircases in Capri, running her fingers over a glacier in view of the Matterhorn, racing through the Louvre, and taste-testing pastries at a Marseilles cafe. Reveling in every new experience--especially her attraction to a charismatic British physics professor--Gwen discovers that the ancient wonders around her are nothing compared to the renaissance unfolding within. . . "A thinking woman's love story, it swept me away to breathtaking places with a cast of endearing characters I won't soon forget. Bravissima!" –Susan McBride, author of Little Black Dress Praise for Marilyn Brant's According to Jane "A warm, witty and charmingly original story." --Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author "Brant infuses her sweetly romantic and delightfully clever tale with just the right dash of Austen-esque wit." –Chicago Tribune "An engaging read for all who have been through the long, dark, dating wars, and still believe there's sunshine, and a Mr. Darcy, at the end of the tunnel." --Cathy Lamb, author of Such a Pretty Face

Set in a reality where nightmares do not fade upon waking, this anthology skims along the surface of life and dips just beneath, revealing the hidden machinations that fuel dreams. These underlying myths and fantasies exist not as musty old stories but as ancient truths that have come to illuminate the modern human condition. The title story touches on themes of grief, redemption, and time travel; "Cold Fire" ventures into love and obsession; and "Peace on Suburbia" introduces readers to a Christmas with an entirely different kind of savior. These and 13 other tales are framed by four interludes--Dreams, Nightmares, Waking, and Rising--that guide readers through a world that is at once familiar and eerily off-kilter.

John Cheever was one of the foremost chroniclers of post-war America, a peerless writer who on his death in 1982 left not only some of the best short stories of the twentieth century and a number of highly acclaimed novels, but also a private journal that runs to an astonishing four million words. Cheever’s was a soul in conflictm who hid his troubles - alcoholism, secret bisexuality - behind the screen of genial life in suburbia, but as John Updike came to remark: ‘Only he saw in its cocktail parties and swimming pools the shimmer of dissolving dreams . . .’ Blake Bailey, writing with unprecedented access to the journal and other sources, has brought characteristic eloquence and sensitivity to his interpretation of Cheever’s life and work. This is a luminous biography that reveals – behind the disguises with which he faced the world – a troubled but strangely lovable man, and a writer of timeless fiction. ‘Stunningly detailed . . . Even more eloquent and resourceful than Bailey’s celebrated biography of Richard Yates, A Tragic Honesty . . . Bailey’s interweaving of Cheever’s fiction with his experience is a tour de force’ New York Times Book Review
