Sinopse

"Dominie Dean" is a masterful exploration of the complexities of human character and relationships, set against the backdrop of a small-town American community. Butler employs a keen wit infused with a satirical lens, crafting a narrative that oscillates between comedy and poignant reflection. The novel dissects societal norms and challenges the intricacies of faith, duty, and the quest for personal fulfillment in a rapidly changing world. Through vibrant descriptions and engaging dialogue, Butler captures the essence of early 20th-century American life, while delving into the moral dilemmas faced by his characters. Ellis Parker Butler, a contemporary of Mark Twain and a prolific figure in American literature, drew inspiration from his own experiences in small towns and as a writer. His keen observations of human nature and societal idiosyncrasies informed his work, allowing him to inject humor into serious themes. The narrative voices in "Dominie Dean" reflect Butler's own eclectic literary interests, demonstrating his ability to weave the profound with the absurd, a signature quality of his storytelling. Readers looking for a thoughtful yet humorous examination of human relational dynamics will find "Dominie Dean" both enlightening and entertaining. It is a compelling read that encourages contemplation on the intersections of duty and desire, making it a timeless addition to the American literary canon.

    Ryan Lee is a hot mess. 
    In another lifetime, Ryan had it all. He was a child star in one of the biggest sitcoms on the planet. Now he’s an adult, unemployed, and a poster child for bad decisions. Okay, so he hasn’t robbed a convenience store yet, but only because he’s always either too high or too hungover. When the opportunity to film a reunion show comes up, Ryan jumps at the chance. He needs the money, but more than that, it might be what he needs to drag his career—and himself—out of the gutter. 
    Except seeing his former onscreen family again means seeing Chase Ellis–the guy who destroyed Ryan’s career by leaving the show, and the first boy Ryan ever kissed. Back when Ryan believed in fairytales, he thought he was in love with Chase, and the reunion brings all those old feelings racing back. But it drags up old secrets too. Ryan’s about to learn that, when it comes to Hollywood, the only happy endings are the ones that take place on screen. 
    Then again, maybe it isn’t a happy ending Ryan needs. Maybe it’s a new beginning. 
    Washed Up Former Child Star Ryan Lee is a standalone contemporary m/m second chance romance.

    Literary critic, E. A. Koltonovskaya, described the literary style of novelist Maria Krestovskaya as follows, “Her pen, for all its feminine agility, is often remarkable for its nearly masculine reticence. She has none of the chaotic flood of thoughtless emotions, which so frequently plagues the works by female writers. She does not like lyrical diversions and allows her characters to speak and act for themselves. Even during the most dramatic scenes, her tone remains restrained. Her formulation of women’s issues gives one the sense of a broad, universal foundation. There is none of the narrowness, exclusiveness, and bias so prevalent in the topic as described by ideological feminists.” 
    The story that follows is quintessential Krestovskaya - complete with humor, deftly delivered touches of real life, and ample food for thought.

    A short satirical thriller from bestselling author Freida McFadden.  
    My husband is dead.  
    I attended his funeral. I watched his casket be lowered six feet into the ground. (Actually, it may have been only five feet, but that still seems like more than enough.) And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car.  
    My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back.  
    So why do I still see his face everywhere I go?  
    The Widow's Husband's Secret Lie is an utterly addictive, unputdownable, nail-biting, absolutely gripping psychological thriller novella with a shocking, breathtaking, heartstopping, spine-chilling twist that you won't see coming, will leave you stunned, and will literally have you picking your jaw up off the floor and bringing it to the nearest hospital for major facial reconstructive surgery.
