DISMOUNT by ARAMIS CALDERON
Dismount tells the interwoven stories of five Marines of Operation Iraqi Freedom: Hicks, Ramirez, Valery, Wallace, and Watt. They left home and joined the Marine Corps seeking change. After the rigors of boot camp and the trauma of war, who will they be when they return home?
THE ART OF LOOKING FOR TROUBLE by TOM COSENTINO:
From his post behind the bar at Quinn’s Pub, Mike Lee holds together the Genesee neighborhood he grew up in, an upstate New York town that has seen better days.
When his friends throw him a surprise 50th birthday party, the celebration is interrupted by a robbery with explosive results. Mike knows he must take action to protect the neighbors he considers family. He decides to run for mayor against a callous incumbent.
Mike and his team of crusaders take on the established order the only way they know how, with determination and a lot of pints. He is thrown into an uproarious world of retribution, espionage, vendettas, and lands in the national spotlight. Be prepared to laugh and cry with Mike and all his friends at Quinn’s as you join them for a drink or two in The Art of Looking for Trouble, the humorous debut novel from Tom Cosentino
ACES WILD: A HEIST by AMANDA DEWITT
Some people join chess club, some people play football. Jack Shannon runs a secret blackjack ring in his private school’s basement. What else is the son of a Las Vegas casino mogul supposed to do?
Everything starts falling apart when Jack’s mom is arrested for their family’s ties to organized crime. His sister Beth thinks this is the Shannon family’s chance to finally go straight, but Jack knows that something’s not right. His mom was sold out, and he knows by who. Peter Carlevaro: rival casino owner and jilted lover. Gross.
Jack hatches a plan to find out what Carlevaro’s holding over his mom’s head, but he can’t do it alone. He recruits his closest friends—the asexual support group he met through fandom forums. Now all he has to do is infiltrate a high-stakes gambling club and dodge dark family secrets, while hopelessly navigating what it means to be in love while asexual. Easy, right?
THE LITERARY ANIMAL by ELIZABETH FAUBERT
Do you love books? Do you love animals? Then you will love The Literary Animal!
It all started with my cat Ethyl, the best cat in the world! I photographed Ethyl all the time and one day I had the book Of Mice and Men sitting on a table and I thought it would be funny for a cat to read it. Ethyl obliged me (and loved the book by the way). After that I wondered, what would a dog read? And then I had more ideas, and then more …
IMAGES OF AMERICA: SAFETY HARBOR by LAURA KEPNER
Safety Harbor's five natural mineral springs have drawn visitors and residents to the shores of Old Tampa Bay for centuries.
A ceremonial mound erected by indigenous peoples offers proof of human life stretching back before written history. Spanish explorers landed here in the 16th century, and 300 years later, the first seeds of Florida's citrus industry were planted by Odet Phillipe. The Florida boom of the 1920s brought development and population growth. Expansion stalled during the Great Depression, but after World War II, Safety Harbor became a tourist destination for the rich and famous, permanently changing the city's future.
200 images of Safety Harbor’s past create a nostalgic reminder of hardy people and their perseverance despite devastating hurricanes and fires. The timeless tranquility of sunrises and sunsets and Spanish moss draped from massive oaks endures throughout this historical, artsy city on the bay.
CHARLIE’S STORY by ANN McNICOL
The year is 2045. Fourteen-year-old Samantha spends her days exploring the shallow reef behind her island home. With her world locked in a battle against rising seas, scientists deploy genetically modified corals to rebuild reefs and protect the coastline. No one expects the reefs to be a hotbed of evolution, but they are.
When an octopus flows off a rock in her lagoon, Samantha is startled. When he purposefully arranges pieces of coral on the sand, trying to communicate, she is shocked. How she responds may determine the fate of life on Earth.
