  High on a snow-swept mountain sits Baldpate Inn, a glamorous summer resort now locked tight against the freezing winds of December. It is here that novelist William Magee seeks the ultimate solitude to write his masterpiece, armed with the only key to the grand front doors. 
  Or so he thinks. 
  His dreams of absolute peace are quickly shattered as a bizarre cast of characters begins to arrive—each possessing their own key, and each spinning a wildly improbable tale to explain their presence. From a lovelorn haberdasher to an eccentric professor, a professional hermit, and a dazzling young woman claiming to be an actress pulling a publicity stunt, Magee suddenly finds himself trapped in a madcap house of lies. With a mysterious safe, rumors of political corruption, and gunshots ringing out in the dark, the snowbound retreat transforms into a high-stakes puzzle where no one is who they claim to be. 
  Seven Keys to Baldpate is a timeless blend of classic mystery, sharp wit, and unexpected romance that will keep you guessing until the final key is turned.

  5 Science Fiction Stories by Mac...

  Five early stories by one of my favorite SF writers, Mack Reynolds.  Medal of Honor is an intriguing look into the mind of someone who is above the law; who cannot commit a crime.  How will he act? especially if he is a self centered drunk?  Potential Enemy is story about the sad state of human minds that are ruled by fear and paranoia.  Happy Ending is an SF story about the far future when the last solar system wide dictator has been finally defeated and what will he do?  What will he do? This is also an exploration of mental megalomania and it's effects.  His happy ending is perhaps suitable, but probably not so happy.   A Gun For Hire explores in a light hearted but painful way, the fact that hired guns are just that: hired.  The final story is the funniest of the lot the and is set in Tangiers in the present or very near future.  UFO's are a crackpot idea, right?  well perhaps not.  - Summary by Phil Chenevert

  Getting a boner for the monster who saved us shouldn't make sense in any universe. But here we are.When a piece of Earth gets ripped into a monstrous new world, I barely have time to panic before I'm fighting for my life—and for Jamie's. Terrafeara isn't just dangerous; it's a nightmare brought to life, where humans like us are hunted, enslaved, or worse.Then there's Solan. A beast of a warrior with horns I want to ride, fangs I want to lick, and a body built for war—and for wrecking me. He swears he'll protect me, but his idea of protection comes with possessive touches, growled promises, and a claim I'm not sure I can resist.But I don't have time for this. I have a kid to keep safe. And with monsters, mercenaries, and power-hungry rulers after us, staying alive is hard enough. The only way to survive is to trust Solan, trust the rebels, and trust this connection between us that's stronger than fear.Because in a world designed to break us, maybe love is the sharpest weapon of all. 
   
  Contains mature themes.
