Hollister McClane - A...

Laurie Lisa

Laurie Lisa's latest audiobook is now available!
Hollister McClane, is a captivating, fun, and lighthearted picaresque mixing crime fiction with a bit of good old-fashioned Southern charm. Hollister’s wild adventures will keep you turning pages non-stop!
A small-town Southern Missouri beauty (if she does say so herself), Hollister has an uncanny knack for accidentally robbing banks, convenience stores, and possibly even a drug cartel. Toss in a couple of grand theft autos—purely by accident, of course—but she wouldn’t hurt a fly. Not even when Ruger falls into her lap.
Savvy, self-taught, and eternally optimistic, Hollister hitchhikes, runs, and drives her way across America’s heartland, stumbling into one misadventure after another. After unintentionally robbing her first bank dressed as Uncle Sam, she decides life on the run must be fate. And lucky for her, she’s a genius at disguises (if she does say so herself).
Hollister always tries to put her ill-gotten gains to good use, but somehow, the money never seems to stick. Meanwhile, a few complications keep popping up: the law, the lovers, the three not-quite-ex-husbands, the babies, and, of course, world-weary Mama. And when she finally does use that gun—well, let’s just say it’s pointed a little too close to home.
BOOK REVIEWS
5* "A fun romp! . . . With so many who-done-it books out there and trashy romance and sci-fi, it is refreshing to just sit down and read a fun tale of a sweet young girl making her way thru the good ‘ol U.S. of A. Hollister has a great spirit and solid Southern values, and best of all, she loves her mama!"
5* "Entertaining, Enthralling, and Brilliantly Written: A MUST READ OF 2021! . . . This was a truly engaging read. Author Laurie Lisa hits it out of the park once more."

The Samsara of Sidney

Martin Temujin

From the expat villas of Saigon to the drug cartels of the Golden Triangle—a contemporary reimagining of a timeless spiritual classic.
 

 
Sidney began as the "Golden Boy" of District 2, groomed to inherit a legacy of corporate power.  But looking down from his father’s villa, he saw only a cage.  Walking away from his corporate future, he drifts into the chaotic, humid heart of Southeast Asia, searching for meaning from the haze of the backpacker trail to the silent meditation compounds of Northern Thailand.
 

 
But Sidney soon realizes that to transcend the world, he must first conquer it.  In the neon-lit shadows of Bangkok, he transforms into the "Consigliere" for a Golden Triangle drug lord. Trading his drifter’s robes for bespoke Italian suits, he applies his intellect to a deadly underworld of logistics, bribes, and bloodshed, accumulating wealth and power to see if they can finally fill the void.
 

 
He had to become a sinner to find the saint. He had to destroy himself in the Chao Phraya River to finally learn how to live.
 

 
This fast-paced philosophical novella is the essential listen for backpackers, digital nomads, and expats—anyone who has ever stared at a skyline and wondered if there is more to life than the grind.
