ABOUT THE BOOK - DAUGHTERS OF SMOKE AND FIRE
Set in Iran, this extraordinary debut novel takes readers into the everyday lives of the Kurds. Leila dreams of making films to bring the suppressed stories of her people onto the global stage, but obstacles keep piling up. Leila’s younger brother, Chia, influenced by their father’s past torture and imprisonment, and his deep-seated desire for justice, begins to engage with social and political affairs. But his activism grows increasingly risky, and one day he disappears in Tehran. Seeking answers about her brother’s whereabouts, Leila fears the worst and begins a campaign to save him. But when she publishes Chia’s writings online, she finds herself in grave danger as well.
DAUGHTERS OF SMOKE AND FIRE is an evocative portrait of the lives and stakes faced by 40 million stateless Kurds and a powerful story that brilliantly illuminates the meaning of identity and the complex bonds of family, perfect for fans of Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner and Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun.

It's almost fall, and (some) children are heading back to school. It's a time of change and compromises. One thing you don't have to worry about is finding good books to read. My authors all have amazing work to share. We have two returning authors, and one new, so kick back and enjoy!

Her prior novels are Photofinish, which got a 5 star review, and See Ya, which earned finalist honors in military fiction. She is at work on her next novel, and picture book series, Dr. Lolly, Girl Vet due out this fall. She loves history, travel, horses and family.
Another returnee is Eden Baylee. She has written three collections of erotic novellas and flash fiction ~ Spring Into Summer, Fall Into Winter, and Hot Flash. In 2014, she launched the first novel of her Stranger Triology, Stranger at Sunset. In addition to working on her next novel, Eden created the Lainey Lee Series. An introvert by nature and an extrovert by design, Eden is most comfortable at home with her laptop surrounded by books.
New to the show is Neil McGowan. He grew up in Yorkshire but now lives with his family on the east coast of Scotland, an area that inspires many of the settings in his writing. The Surgeon was his first book, his second novel, Nanobite, is a blend of sci-fi and horror.

Crooked paths is her new
Crooked Paths: A Chautauqua Murder Mystery by Deb Pines
A breezy, fun, small-town whodunit for fans of “Murder, She Wrote,” “Knives Out” and Agatha Christie. When thrice-married socialite Connie de Palma sashays into Chautauqua, N.Y. in 2019, a neighbor says “Here comes trouble.” And, boy, was he right. In less than a week, Connie is found dead in a nearby gorge. Many stand to benefit from her demise. But that doesn’t mean there was foul play, say the police. Luckily, reporter and relentless snoop Mimi Goldman is on the case. (Book #7 in the popular Mimi Goldman Chautauqua Mysteries). Mimi questions absolutely everything, including Connie’s cause of death, and absolutely everyone, including Connie’s: new hubby Eddie McCarthy, a garbage tycoon; saintly sister Marie and resentful bus driver bro-in-law Frank Attenborough; boy-toy assistant Jonas Carrington; pothead daughter Lennie and new beau A.J.; and a golfer neighbor with an obsession Bill Johnson. Mimi and her usual sidekicks—Jake, her computer-savvy son, and Sylvia, her fearless 94-year-old “wheelman”—follow clues. To more clues. To dead ends. And to danger. In the end, Mimi hopes a long-shot hunch pans out—in time for her to enjoy a visit from her new grandson. Join me when the author takes center stage. Fran le
