Synopsis

In "Me: A Book of Remembrance," Onoto Watanna skillfully navigates the confluence of personal narrative and cultural introspection, offering readers a poignant exploration of identity within the tapestry of early 20th-century America. Employing a lyrical prose style interwoven with rich imagery and emotive language, Watanna delves into the complexities of her Japanese heritage and the immigrant experience. This memoir reflects a unique literary context, bridging Western literary traditions with Eastern philosophies, thereby enriching the discourse on multicultural identity during a time of evolving societal norms. Onoto Watanna, the pen name of Winnifred Eaton, was one of the first Asian American authors to gain recognition in North America. Growing up in a bicultural environment, Watanna's writing was profoundly influenced by her mixed heritage and the challenges of navigating cultural duality. Her experiences as a Japanese woman in a predominantly Western literary landscape inform her narrative, drawing attention to the nuanced layers of perception and belonging that characterize the immigrant experience. This remarkable memoir is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of culture, identity, and personal storytelling. Watanna's exploration of self and society not only captivates the imagination but also evokes essential questions about heritage and acceptance, making it a timeless work that resonates with contemporary audiences.

    “This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don’t have to wake up early!”
    —Reader review for The Killing Game
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    US Marshal Alexa Chase faces a ghost from the past as she investigates a chain of ritualistic murders, identical to those committed by a supposed dead serial killer. As the evidence reveals a horrifying hostage scenario, Alexa must use all her talents in a psychological standoff to outwit a master manipulator and rescue innocents from his clutches.
    
    THE KILLING SIGN (An Alexa Chase Suspense Thriller—Book 11) is the eleventh in a new series by mystery and suspense author Kate Bold, which begins with THE KILLING GAME (Book #1).
    
    Alexa Chase, 34, a brilliant profiler in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, was too good at her job. Haunted by all the serial killers she caught, she left a stunning career behind to join the U.S. Marshals. As a Deputy Marshal, Alexa—fit, and as tough as she is brilliant—could immerse herself in a simple career of hunting down fugitives and bringing them to justice.
    
    But with her recent work a big success, the FBI and the Marshals have decided to make their joint-task force permanent. Alexa, reeling from her own traumatic past and her PTSD of hunting serial killers, has no choice: she will now have to work with an FBI partner she dislikes and hunt down serial killers whose jurisdiction intertwines with that of the U.S. Marshals. Alexa finds herself forced to confront the thing she dreads the most—entering a killer’s mind. 
     
    As Alexa dives deeper into the investigation, she realizes suspects are everywhere—and the clock is ticking. But who can really be trusted? 
    
    All Alexa can do is rely on her brilliant skills to enter the killer’s twisted mind before he strikes again.
    
    A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured Deputy Marshal, the ALEXA CHASE series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.
    
    Future books in the series are also available!
    
    “This book moved very fast and every page was exciting. Plenty of dialogue, you absolutely love the characters, and you were rooting for the good guy throughout the whole story… I look forward to reading the next in the series.”

    She's my best friend's sister, which makes her off-limits. So why can't I stay away? 
     
     
     
    I'm a master at hiding my true feelings for Aria Bristol. Well, except for that one time. That one kiss. She almost figured me out then, and I vowed to never let it happen again. 
     
     
     
    The fact that we were separated by thousands of miles helped a lot. But now that I'm back, all I can think about is re-creating that kiss from high school. And that's bad, because if I know anything, I know she deserves so much better than me. 
     
     
     
    But she's fierce. Feisty. And she knows me better than anyone. I don't know how much longer I can keep up this act. And the scariest part of all? I'm not sure I want to. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
