Synopsis

From Francis Levy, author of Seven Days in Rio, which The New York Times called "a fever dream of a novel," comes The Kafka Studies Department, a highly original collection of short, parable-like stories infused with dark humor, intellect, and insight about the human condition. While the book's style is deceptively simple and aphoristic, it carries a hallucinatory moral message. A prism of interconnected and intertwined tales, inspired by Kafka, the stories examine feckless central characters who are far from likable, but always recognizable and wildly human.

    In the club, with flashing lights and loud music, seeing him across the room is a scene out of a movie. 
     
     
     
    We lock eyes and sway to the beat—instantly connecting. 
     
     
     
    He nudges his head, calling me to the other side. Me? Of all the women in the club, this sexy man wants me to join him in VIP. 
     
     
     
    So I do. 
     
     
     
    And then I realize how tall he is, and the other guys surrounding him are also. 
     
     
     
    Wait. This guy was on the basketball court at the game I watched the night before. The guys standing around him are his teammates on the Houston Outlaws. 
     
     
     
    And me? I'm a small-town girl with a class of fifth graders, only in LA for a few more nights. So you could imagine my answer when he asks, "Wanna come back to the room with me?"

    Enjoy this witty, small town paranormal, cozy mystery by award-winning and bestselling author Lucinda Race. 
    Welcome to Pembroke Cove, where witches and murders are multiplying... 
    Bookstore owner and witch, Lily Michaels, is prepared for takeoff. She’s on cloud nine after finally obtaining her permit for broom-flying lessons. But her excitement comes crashing down when she stumbles over another dead body. All she wanted to do was discuss flower arrangements for her upcoming wedding—however, somebody had other plans for the unfortunate florist. 
    At the crime scene, Detective Gage Erikson, a.k.a. Detective Cutie, discovers a menacing message on the floor of the flower shop. Its target: Lily—he’s sure of that. Though he appreciates Lily’s extraordinary abilities, his puzzle-loving fiancée has a unique talent for attracting trouble. This time, he’s determined to keep her out of the investigation. Is this message meant to throw him off the scent of the killer? 
    Keeping Lily out of a murder investigation is like telling the sun not to rise. It’s not like this will be the first time she bends—okay, breaks—the rules. Suspicions and threats are sprouting like mushrooms in a dank shack. Flying high can lead to falling far—and this time, her life’s not the only one on the line. Can Lily follow the clues and solve the puzzle of the florist’s death before her dreams of a happily ever after with Gage end up as dead as last year’s roses? 
    Broomsticks & Blooms is the tenth novel in the A Book Store Cozy Mystery Series; although each book can be enjoyed as a standalone, it is best to read them in order. It is a small town, cozy mystery that guarantees the culprit is caught. Happy listening!

    Karen Hanson’s oldest friends, the Calamity Janes, urge her to sell her struggling ranch and pursue her lifelong dreams of travel. But the only bidder for her land is brooding, enigmatic Grady Blackhawk—her late husband’s worst enemy. How can she sell the land to him? Then Grady sets out to prove that he isn’t the scoundrel Karen thinks him. Spending time with him might cost Karen a lot more than her ranch because Mr. Blackhawk is becoming less interested in claiming her land...and more intent on claiming her heart. This book was originally published as Courting the Enemy.
