  The New York Times bestseller that “chronicles the glittering lives of semicelebrities, social aspirants, and moneyed folk [with] withering precision” (The New York Times).  
   
  From the author of Sex and the City, this collection of novellas tells the stories of four women facing up to the limitations of their rapidly approaching middle age in an era that worships youth. From the former it-girl heroine of “Nice N’Easy,” who each summer looks for a rich man who’ll provide her with a house in the Hamptons, to the narrator of “Single Process,” who goes to London on a hunt for love and a good magazine story, Candace Bushnell brings to life contemporary women in search of something more—when the world is pushing for them to settle for less. Sexy, funny, and “mercilessly satirical” (Publishers Weekly), Four Blondes is a knowing look at what lurks beneath our obsessions with sex, celebrity, and social status. 
   
  “Stiletto-sharp wit and dialogue…A compulsive read.”—OK Magazine

  In this “charming, warm-hearted, and funny” picture book for adults, a workaholic grim reaper learns the importance of time off and self-care (NPR).   Death never takes a day off. Until he gets a letter from the HR department insisting he use up his accrued vacation time, that is. In this humorous and heartfelt book from beloved illustrator Brian Rea, we take a peek at Death’s journal entries as he documents his mandatory sabbatical in the world of the living. From skydiving to online dating, Death is determined to try it all! Death Wins a Goldfish is an important reminder to the overstressed, overworked, and overwhelmed that everyone—even Death—deserves a break once in a while.   “Death explores the magic and mundanity of life in this warmhearted vacation story . . . Rea’s work is rendered in warm, friendly hues: lemon meringue roller coasters and coral-colored speedboats predominate. Undergirding these cheerful shades is an earnest appeal to that most human of questions: how should one live? The answer, Death finds, is by going out there and doing it.” —Publishers Weekly   “A cheeky and charming and secretly profound variation on the ‘Death Takes a Holiday’ motif.” —LA Weekly   “Death Wins a Goldfish is not a book about death. It’s a book about living.” —Vanity Fair

  A longtime Wisconsin sheriff faces his first-ever homicide: “[Fuses] murder and mortuary science in a novel of the humorously macabre” (Derek Davis, author of Gifts of a Dead Man).   In the nearly twenty years that Leonard Koznowski has been sheriff of Beaver Rapids, Wisconsin, he’s never encountered a homicide. When the local mortician and his assistant are brutally gunned down, Leonard is thrust into a tumultuous investigation linking religion, high school athletics, the black market of body parts, unwholesome sexual proclivities, and a sinister secret society. And with deer season fast approaching, the timing could’ve been a hell of a lot better. Inspired by actual events, Jim Knipfel gives a hilariously dark, satirical twist to the American pastoral.   “In Sheriff Koznowski, Knipfel creates a straightforward man of the law with more smarts than he can admit to, while surrounded by deputies incapable of the simplest of procedures―like thinking. You’ll find yourself saying ‘yah’ and ‘okeydokey’ for at least a week after you’ve finished tearing through this delightful, engaging paean to the rural absurd.” ―Derek Davis, author of Gifts of a Dead Man   “A gifted stylist.” —The New York Times Book Review
