For fans of Janet Evanovich and Stephanie Bond, USA Today Bestselling author Kristi Rose brings you a reluctant private investigator in this feel good, twisty, laugh out loud mystery. Sometimes it's not opportunity knocking, it's trouble. On the night of Samantha True’s first job as a forensic photographer she learns three things: Crime scenes are messy. Especially when you throw up on them. She may not be cut out for this. When the police drag her to a second investigation, she’s just as baffled by the crime scene as they are. Why is the school lunch lady, Miss Trina, chained to a pole? Is this somehow connected to the robberies taking place all over Wind River? Samantha might not be cut out for photographing blood-covered crime scenes, but being the daughter of the town newspaper man, she has plenty of investigating intuition. Besides, this is her hometown, and she’s not about to let it become ravaged by crime. As the locals rally to help Miss Trina, Samantha begins her poking around and uncovers sinister dealings, causing her to question everything–and everyone–she knows. Her small town is full of shadowy secrets. And she might be happier staying in the dark. A laugh-out-loud mystery that will keep you guessing and quickly turning the pages. One Hit Wonder offers the just right reader escape, but fair warning, this book leaves readers wanting more. Warning: May cause spontaneous laughter. This mystery offers witty banter, characters you'll want to be friends with, and is a perfect escape to the Pacific Northwest. Laughing out loud in public may cause curious glances from strangers. This book doesn't haven't to be read in the series order and takes place 10 years prior to ALL BETS ARE OFF. Keywords: Cozy mystery, small town mystery, amateur sleuth, private investigator.

The one-hit wonder has a long and storied history in popular music, exhorting listeners to dance, to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, to ponder mortality, to get a job, to bask in the sunshine, or just to get up and dance again. Catchy, memorable, irritating, or simply ubiquitous, one-hit wonders capture something of the mood of a time. This collection provides a series of short, sharp chapters focusing on one-hit wonders from the 1950s to the present day, with a view toward understanding both the mechanics of success and the socio-musical contexts within which such songs became hits. Some artists included here might have aspired to success but only managed one hit, while others enjoyed lengthy, if unremarkable, careers after their initial chart success. Put together, these chapters provide not only a capsule history of popular music tastes, but also ruminations on the changing nature of the music industry and the mechanics of fame.

Who wouldn't want the formula for leading a happy and successful life? In this book Kevin Kehoe defines "happy" and "successful" his way, by sharing the lessons he learned through his adventures and misadventures-lessons that have led him to conclude that being a one-hit wonder is a very underrated achievement, and that it's never too late to be a happy hero.Kevin is not famous. He is your average guy. But for almost 70 years, he's searched for the secrets to happiness and success. And what he discovered is that many of the secrets are not so secret, and that knowing what do to is a lot easier than actually doing it. He knows what he is talking about, as he has lived life at what his friends would tell you is full speed and in fifth gear most of the time-a strategy that has worked both to his benefit and detriment. He's an entrepreneur who started and sold several businesses. He was a single parent, an altar boy and choir boy growing up in Catholic schools, the grandchild of Irish immigrants, a runner of marathons, a racer of motorcycles. And a Stage 4 cancer survivor. Some of Kevin's stories will make you laugh, some will make you cry, and some will make you feel like he's writing about your own life. But they each have a simple insight about living like a one-hit wonder and happy hero. He is never preachy about how to do this, but he does offer some timeless truths through his stories that might help you make sense of a world seemingly gone mad. You may not fall in love with every chapter, but if you're like most people, when you re-read the book, the chapters you liked most the first time will be different the second time around.

Until recently, the odd thought Margaret Mitchell had only one story to tell: Gone With the Wind. Now meet a heroine to match Scarlett: Courtenay Ross, a feisty, independent-minded woman, and the two men -- one a cool-headed, well-heeled gentleman, the other a hot-blooded, pugnacious sailor -- who adore her. A tale of yearning, valor, and devotion, Lost Laysen enthralls from its delightful beginning to its unforgettable end. Equally intriguing is the story behind the story -- the real-life romance that inspired Mitchell: how she gave the original manuscript as a gift to her beau. Henry Love Angel, and how the manuscript, along with Mitchell's intimate letters and treasured photographs, were lovingly safeguarded only to be discovered decades later in a shoebox Lost Laysen is pure magic, a gift for us to cherish from America's most beloved storyteller.
