  What happens when a king loses his prowess? The day Henry IV could finally declare he had vanquished his enemies, he threw it all away with an infamous deed. No English king had executed an archbishop before. And divine judgment was quick to follow. Many thought he was struck with leprosy—God's greatest punishment for sinners. From that point on, Henry's health was cursed and he fought doggedly on as his body continued to betray him—reducing this once great warrior to an invalid. Fortunately for England, his heir was ready and eager to take over. But Henry wasn't willing to relinquish what he had worked so hard to preserve. No one was going to take away his royal prerogative—not even Prince Hal. But Henry didn't count on Hal's dauntless nature, which threatened to tear the royal family apart.

  The Sun Also Rises (previously titled Fiesta) is a seminal text that established Ernest Hemmingway as part of the literary canon. Its timeless themes of love, identity, and integrity continue to speak to our hearts today. 
  In a conversation with Ernest Hemmingway, Gertrude Stein once made the comment: “You are all a lost generation.” She was referring to the young adults who struggled to find their purpose in the wake of World War I, yet showed incredible resilience against all odds. 
  Jake Barnes, Lady Brett Ashley, and their group of fellow expatriates are members of this Lost Generation. As they wander through Paris, they turn to alcohol and a series of love affairs to cope with their inner struggles. Then, they decide to go to Spain for the Fiesta de San Fermín to witness the running of the bulls. This brutal, violent sport captures their interest and becomes the backdrop for the romantic tensions that build between the characters.

  "More than a thriller—it’s an escape from reality and the perfect tonic at the end of a hard day.”—Orlando Sentinel  
    
  It's not easy being the Godfather. All those secrets and all that guilt add up to a terrible burden—a weight that's killing Vincente Delgatto. When the old man travels to Key West for a visit with his illegitimate son—Joey Goldman, the unlikely hero of FLORIDA STRAITS—Joey floats the idea of a conscience-easing memoir, to be written in collaboration with a local reporter.  
    
  It's a well-intentioned but extremely dangerous idea, since no one—not the Mafia, not the FBI, not the legitimate heir to the Delgatto family business—wants to see that memoir published. Will Vincente live long enough to get a lifetime's worth of secrets off his chest? Will writer Arty Magnus ever actually finish a book? For that matter, will Bert the Shirt and his chihuahua Don Giovanni ever enjoy a completely successful walk, and are there punishments enough on earth for Gino, the ingrate son who'd rat out his own father? 
    
  Balancing suspense and humor, double-crosses and tenderness, SUNBURN is both a full-throttle crime novel and a touching meditation on family, old age, and the many shades of human loyalty.

  Books 1 & 2 of the Bass Reeves Trilogy adapted for the Paramount+ miniseries Lawmen: Bass Reeves 
   
   
   
  All heroes have fatal flaws and a moment of defining hubris, but few rise from the ashes to achieve greater heights. In 1884 Deputy US Marshal Bass Reeves was arrested for murder and placed among his own prisoners in Hell on the Border, the infamous federal jail in Fort Smith, Arkansas. It was the single greatest setback of his illustrious career, but it wouldn't be his last mistake or trial by fire. 
   
   
   
  In The Forsaken and the Dead we meet Reeves again. In the 1890s, past his prime, Reeves proceeds through the valleys and shadows of Indian and Oklahoma Territories. Despite his caution and innovations as a lawman and detective, his nation no longer seems a product of his own making—so much like his children and his marriage to Jennie. While a modern world implodes around him and demons from his past continue to haunt his present, he remains resolute in his faith that he can be a steady rider on a pale horse.
