    Who wants to live forever?  
    No one, it turns out. 
    Paranormal detectives Arturo Brooks and Edward Smith have a problem. 
    Following an ill-advised time travel adventure, Smith is immortal...and he's not happy about it. He lashes out against everyone and everything. When the detectives go on daytime television, Smith whistleblows the existence of vampires. 
    The public fallout is immense. 
    While vampires plot revenge, the detectives and their family are targeted by protestors, monster rights activists, and an aesthetics-obsessed billionaire ready to make the men an offer that will change their lives (and afterlives) forever. 
    Can they die happily ever after? 
    About the Series 
    The Brooks & Smith series brings fast-paced science fiction and fantasy with an emphasis on humor. It follows two detectives and their makeshift family on a series of increasingly absurd adventures. These books are often silly, sometimes dark, and never child friendly. This is book 2. 
    About the Audiobook 
    Narrated by James Urbaniak (The Venture Bros., Difficult People, The Fabelmans), Time Purge will have you laughing through even its bleakest moments. It is not recommended that you listen while constructing a bridge or negotiating diplomatic peace.

    Funny, feisty and all-too-true, A Not Quite Perfect Family by Claire Sandy is for anyone who loves their family so much they’d just like a weekend away from them. 
    Fern Carlile has a lot on her plate. It's a good thing she loves her big imperfectly perfect family, because she's the one who washes their pants, de-fleas the dog and runs her own business. A hearty meal is the one thing that pulls the Carliles together - but over the course of a year, the various courses also pull them apart. 
    Around the table sits an eight year old militant feminist, a pair of teenaged accidental parents, and a cantankerous OAP. Fern's husband needs an extra seat for his spectacular midlife crisis. 
    Will Fern's marriage be over by the time coffee is served? Perhaps she'll give in and have the hot new dish that looks so tempting. Decisions, decisions . . .

    This follow-up to the classic black comedy about the film industry is “a wicked fever dream of a novel” (San Francisco Chronicle). 
     
    In The Player, the Hollywood novel that was adapted into the celebrated movie by Robert Altman, film executive Griffin Mill got away with murder. Now Mill is back, down to his last six million dollars, i.e., broke. His second wife wants to leave him. His first wife still loves him. His children hate him. And, believing that the end of the world is happening, he wants to save them all with one last desperate plan: quit the studio and convince an almost-billionaire that he has the road map and the mettle to make them both achieve savage wealth. In The Return of the Player, Tolkin again delivers a brilliant, incisive portrait of power, money, and family in a society out of control with greed and excess. 
     
    “A powerful dark comedy that transcends the shopworn genre of Hollywood satire.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
     
    “Both truly outrageous and actually endearing.”—New York Daily News
