Already part of a genre known for generating controversy, some true crime and scandal books have wielded a particular power to unsettle readers, provoke authorities and renew interest in a case. The reactions to such literature have been as contentious as the books themselves, clouding the "truth" with myths and inaccuracies. From high-profile publishing sensations such as Ten Rillington Place, Fatal Vision and Mommie Dearest to the wealth of writing on the JFK assassination, the death of Marilyn Monroe and the Black Dahlia murder, this book delves into that hard copy era when crime and scandal books had a cultural impact beyond the genre's film and TV documentaries, fueling outcries that sometimes matched the notoriety of the cases they discussed and leaving legacies that still resonate today.

Love, Ambition, and Second Chances? Casey Singer is back and more determined than ever. No longer the wild child who once traded love for the limelight, a decision that cost her more than a broken heart. She emerges from the spotlight, time-tested and even hungrier for the perks of fame—until she learns that the one that got away is about to be married to a nobody. This news sets Casey off on a quest to clear the decks and to push the limits in order to redeem her stagnating career as the well-oiled talk show juggernaut, heads into its seventh award-winning year, and she suddenly finds herself without an agent. With her biggest fear coming to light – losing her edge and fading from view, Casey once again proves that old habits die hard and goes on a bender that lands her squarely in a hotel room in Vegas with a hangover and wearing a wedding ring. But nobody is better than Casey at turning mishaps into opportunities. She does not know the meaning of giving up. In fact, she is simply getting started. Pretty Sensation! is the first book in the Show Series, the continuation of Jamie Collins’ women’s fiction wild ride! Explore the compelling themes of love, ambition, and the pursuit of second chances. Casey Singer’s journey will captivate your heart as she navigates fame, romance, and the quest for her rightful place in the spotlight. If you like off-the-hook heroines, searches for identity, and global adventures, this is the book for you!

Love. Politics. Parasitic manipulation. Julia Hernandez left her husband, shot a real-estate developer out to gentrify Brooklyn, and then vanished without a trace. Well, perhaps one or two traces were left… With different personal and consumption habits, Julia has slipped out of the world she knew and into the Simulacrum—a place between the cracks of our existence from which human history is both guided and thwarted by the conflict between a species of anarchist wasp and a collective of hyperintelligent spiders. When Julia’s ex-husband Raymond spots her in a grocery store he doesn’t usually patronize, he’s drawn into an underworld of radical political gestures and Internet organizing looking to overthrow a ruling class it knows nothing about—and Julia is the new media sensation of both this world and the Simulacrum. Told ultimately from the collective point of view of another species, Sensation plays with the elements of the Simulacrum we all already live in: media reports, businessspeak, blog entries, text messages, psychological evaluation forms, and the always fraught and kindly lies lovers tell one another.

What really goes on behind the scenes in the mysterious world of community theatre? Dreamcast is a look at the most underpaid volunteers on the planet, those who serve the muse of live theatre in the small towns and suburbs of America. A local amateur production of "The Sound of Music" unleashes vengeful nuns, a Korean beer connoisseur, a randy director, a flamboyant choreographer, an obsessive stalker, a brat who knows all the songs from "Wicked" and a pot-smoker who lives in a public bathroom. Love/life, comedy/drama, mayhem, backstage drama and onstage triumph are all here for the price of admission to Dreamcast. This is my first novel and it is on a subject very dear to my heart. I have been doing community theatre since the age of 9. Why do I keep doing it? I don't get paid, in fact it costs me money. The glory is fleeting and the hours are awful. I wrote this book in part to answer that question.

I’ve been in love with Ramiro Jimenez since my junior year in college, and now, his fiancée is dead. No cause and effect between the two. Suddenly finding himself the sole guardian of two little boys, Ramiro steps into fatherhood. With his entire world upturned, drowning in his grief, he looks to me, of all people, for help he claims only I can provide. I became a nurse to help people, so there’s no way to say no when he asks for the unimaginable—to move in with him for a year. In exchange for my help, he’ll cover my room and board so I can pay off my nursing degree debt faster. Now I just have to figure out how my unrequited-lovesick heart will survive being forced to see him every day. Sensation is a steamy, slow-burn, forced proximity, single dad romance in the Heartland Metro Hospital series and can be read as a complete standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after.
