  Oscar Wilde created his final and most lasting play, comic masterpieces of all time, The Importance of Being Earnest, in 1895. Considered one of the greatest, The Importance of Being Earnest is a farce, playing with love, religion, and truth as it tells the tale of two men. Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who bend the truth in order to add excitement to their lives. Jack invents an imaginary brother, Ernest, whom he uses as an excuse to escape from his dull country home and gallavant in town. Meanwhile, Algernon follows Jack's scam, but his imaginary friend, Bumbury, provides a convenient method of adventuring in the country. However, their deceptions eventually cross paths, resulting in a series of crises that threaten to spoil their romantic pursuits. Hailed as the first modern comedy in England, The Importance of Being Earnest is Wilde's most famous work.

  A down-on-her-luck country music singer finds sudden stardom, and backstage backstabbing, in this funny, “fast-paced, feel-good novel” (Booklist).   After getting kicked off the tour by a famous, egomaniacal performer, sexy Sarah Jean Pixlie is suddenly catapulted from struggling backup singer to blazing star on the country music scene. Encountering more than her share of conniving backstabbers, she has the bad judgment to fall in love with a couple of musicians, but the good fortune to have the (often misguided) support of a very offbeat family. But no matter what befalls her, she pours her irreverent, savvy soul into the lyrics of her songs, including “Hell on Heels,” “Credit Card Christmas,” and “My Baby Used to Hold Me (Now He’s Putting Me on Hold).” Witty and fresh, this Northern California-to-Nashville romp is a great performance on stage and on the page.   “Goldmark takes an offbeat spin through the world of country music in her charming debut . . . A quirky, satirical edge [and] playful humor.” —Publishers Weekly   “This book has romance, heartache, gossip, scandal, and plenty of digs at the twisted workings of the music industry, all told in a breezy, sassy style.” —Bust   “Perfect for your summer trip to the beach.” —O, the Oprah Magazine

  Anthony Award Finalist: A skip tracer chases an embezzler to Florida—and finds herself entangled with bikers and the IRS—in this thriller “packed with humor” (Booklist).   With her low-level law-enforcement career on the rocks, it’s make-it-or-break-it time for zaftig Loretta Kovacs. She’s been assigned to the ragtag Parole Violators Search Unit, a.k.a. the Jump Squad. All her buttons are pushed when she goes undercover as a desperate dieter at a Florida fat farm in order to nab an embezzler who’s a perfect size 2. But untangling the mysteries surrounding this case is going to be harder than passing up a pastry . . .   “Bruno’s characters are more than just quirky dressing for the plot . . . It moves fast and furious, but along the way his characters’ struggles with their own doubts and failings anchor the reader to them.” —The Nashville Banner   “A divertingly comic entertainment with a bittersweet bite.” —Kirkus Reviews   “Devil’s Food is good, grainy crime writing, a little bit like New Jersey’s answer to Elmore Leonard.” —The Advocate (Greenwich, CT)
