This remarkable first novel from award-winning short fiction writer Ken Scholes will take readers away to a new world—an Earth so far in the distant future that our time is not even a memory; a world where magick is commonplace and great areas of the planet are impassable wastes. But human nature hasn't changed through the ages: War and faith and love still move princes and nations. In Lamentation, the first entry in the Psalm of Isaak series, an ancient weapon has completely destroyed the city of Windwir. From many miles away, Rudolfo, Lord of the Nine Forest Houses, sees the horrifying column of smoke rising. He knows that war is coming to the Named Lands. Nearer to the Devastation, a young apprentice is the only survivor of the city—he sat waiting for his father outside the walls, and was transformed as he watched everyone he knew die in an instant. Soon all the Kingdoms of the Named Lands will be at each others' throats, as alliances are challenged and hidden plots are uncovered.

New York Times bestselling author Eric Shaw Quinn is back in this hilarious whodunit taking readers on a dishy insider's tour through Hollywood's bedrooms and backlots. When ghostwriter Paige Blanche gets unceremoniously fired by mega-celebrity Angela Panderson, the most famous woman in the world -- and known to her fans as Angel -- Paige is left destitute and more than a little bitter. A chance encounter between the two rivals on the night of the party celebrating Angel's engagement to a billionaire media mogul publicly reignites their feud. Hours later, the body of Angel's murdered fiancé turns up in her hotel suite. Clearly being set up, Angel arrives at Paige's door, covered in blood and pleading for help from the last man on earth who'd want to help her and the only one who can't turn her down. Together, the two embark on a madcap romp through the looking glass of Hollywood as they try to solve the murder, clear their names, and get a three-picture deal in the process. Written with the same scathing wit and unflinching insight that has made its beloved author the host of his own popular podcast TheDinnerPartyShow.com, Write Murder is a cross between The Devil Wears Prada and the novels of Jackie Collins -- a can't-miss read for fans of Hollywood secrets and satire.
