Gallo Be Thy Name
Revised Edition
by Jerome Tuccille
Published first in 2009, this book has already received several awards.
The Gallos rose from abject poverty in the early 1900s to create the
most successful wine company in the world, the Gallo family used hard
work, strong values—and crime—to find their success. In Gallo Be Thy
Name, biographer Jerome Tuccille takes readers through Prohibition and
the Great Depression, following the Gallos as they ride the turbulent
currents of history to triumph. But beneath the shiny steel surface of
the Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery swirl rumors of murder and a
sweeping story of passion and power.

A Portrait of Hemingway as a Young Man:
Romping Through Paris in the 1920s
by Jerome Tuccille
A
Portrait of Hemingway as a Young Man is apartly satirical,
partly serious homage to the men and women whom many regard as perhaps
the greatest literary generation in modern times. Like other writers of
his generation, the author, Jerome Tuccille grew up in the shadows of
Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Wolfe, Faulkner and other early 20th century
authors. The book is written with tongue firmly planted in cheek but
also with great respect for the writers portrayed in it.

Twins of the Golden City
by Rachel Drummey
For the first seventeen years of her
life, Lena knew nothing but cruelty. Held captive in a palace in the
desert, Lena was taught to use her singular powers in combat so that
she could eventually become the champion of her despised captor, Lord
Daimonas. But when a mysterious fellow prisoner helps Lena escape, she
flees to the northern country of Aurea. There she finds sanctuary among
a group of men and women who have
powers like Lena does.
In Aurea, Lena also meets Hadrian, a boy her own age and of similar
talent. Though they quickly grow very close, the diabolical plot of
Lena's former captor threatens to tear them apart. In the face of
tragedy and temptation, Lena and Hadrian must each decide where their
allegiances will truly lie.

Forks in the Flowerpots
by Jojo Schroeder
North Brooktown is your
stereotypically quaint New England village fully equipped - as if
ordered from a catalog of all things New England - with lavish fall
color and hard-working residents minding the details of their tidy
lives. Newcomer Ella Sinclair finds that just beneath the picturesque
facade, the town, like all towns, has secrets. But, in stark contrast
to the color of the countryside, North Brooktown's secrets are dark.
As Ella settles into her new surroundings after the painful West Coast
breakup with her longtime lover, the town's secrets begin to unravel
after a young girl is found brutally murdered. It is the second tragic
death within a year for North Brooktown and Ella joins forces to solve
the murder with a man desperate to win her affection. Forks in the
Flowerpots opens the door to Ella's journey while she races to prevent
another tragedy from befalling North Brooktown.

Aunts & Uncles
(and Other Refugees Under the Moon)
by Eric French
Through vignettes that take you to
Paris in a daydream, to a humorous spin on the landing at Jamestown,
and then back to the lonely cafeterias of elementary school - French
attempts to capture the run-off of our limitations in this collection
of poems. From a distinct voice that blends the wistful and the absurd,
often in the same poem, the reader may well come away with a broader
understanding of what defines us in the swirl of modern living.
