Immortality Has Met Its Match... 
Ever since the Ring of Fire, the world's vampires have seen their mortality. They won’t live forever after all — not if the angels who created them decide to snuff them like candles. 
What do the angels want? What did their command to “restore balance” truly mean? For most, the angels’ decrees mean mass murder and mass turnings … but the humans aren’t sheep, and won’t just lie down and take it forever. 
As Deacon Maurice tries to maintain order with Reginald by his side, panic consumes the Vampire Nation. The center begins to fall apart and chaos grows like cancer. But as war between vampires and humans threatens, Reginald begins to discover strange new abilities within him: to navigate through blood history like no other vampire before him. To glamour those who can’t be glamoured. And seemingly, to stop time itself. 
Fear has reached its tipping point. War is close. Reginald might hold the key to the angels’ mystery … but whatever could help him intervene just might be too late.

There is one last chance to save the democracy George Washington founded. That last chance is Washington himself. 
It is 2028 and a certain president wants a third term. The Constitution shouldn’t allow it but the Supreme Court has found a workaround. The electoral system has been mangled. The media is a joke. Voters can barely be troubled to vote. But thanks to a team of scientists George Washington has been brought from the past to regain the presidency. Written by New York Times bestselling author Paul Greenberg, A Third Term tells the story of how hard Candidate Washington has to fight to win in these corrupt times. Riddled with pneumonia, possessing dentures fashioned from slave’s teeth, and an aristocratic sensibility tempered by war and religious faith, the Father of Our Country requires considerable rehabilitation to challenge the man he only refers to as “The Tyrant.” Fortunately a wily campaign manager and a sexy personal trainer are there by his side.
