When a writing job at The Butterfield Institute – a sex therapy clinic – exposes her to the world of phone sex, Julia glimpses a world that stirs her erotic fantasies but threatens her

Tracing the currents of desire, illusion, and psychological manipulation,Lip Service is an astonishingly vivid glimpse into one woman’s inner life. At the same time, this electrifying thriller grips the reader as it builds toward a battering climax.

*************************

cientology, created in 1954 by a prolific sci-fi writer named L. Ron Hubbard, claims to be the world’s fastest growing religion, with millions of members around the world and huge financial holdings. Its celebrity believers keep its profile high, and its teams of “volunteer ministers” offer aid at disaster sites such as Haiti and the World Trade Center. But Scientology is also a notably closed faith, harassing journalists and others through litigation and intimidation, even infiltrating the highest levels of the government to further its goals. Its attacks on psychiatry and its requirement that believers pay as much as tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars for salvation have drawn scrutiny and skepticism. And ex-members use the Internet to share stories of harassment and abuse.

Now Janet Reitman offers the first full journalistic history of the Church of Scientology, in an evenhanded account that at last establishes the astonishing truth about the controversial religion. She traces Scientology’s development from the birth of Dianetics to today, following its metamorphosis from a pseudoscientific self-help group to a worldwide spiritual corporation with profound control over its followers and even ex-followers.

Based on five years of research, unprecedented access to Church officials, confidential documents, and extensive interviews with current and former Scientologists, this is the defining book about a little-known world.

*************************

hat’s how Wendell Potter introduced himself to a Senate committee in June 2009. He proceed to explain how insurance companies make promises they have no intention of keeping, how they flout regulations designed to protect consumers, and how they make it nearly impossible to understand information that the public needs. Potter quit his high-paid job as head of public relations at a major insurance corporation because he could no longer abide the routine practices of the insurance industry, policies that amounted to a death sentence for thousands of Americans every year.

In Deadly Spin, Potter takes readers behind the scenes of the insurance industry to show how a huge chunk of our absurd healthcare expenditures actually bankrolls a propaganda campaign and lobbying effort focused on protecting one thing: profits. With the unique vantage of both a whistleblower and a high-powered former insider, Potter moves beyond the healthcare crisis to show how public relations works, and how it has come to play a massive, often insidious role in our political process-and our lives.

This important and timely book tells Potter’s remarkable personal story, but its larger goal is to explain how people like Potter, before his change of heart, can get the public to think and act in ways that benefit big corporations-and the Wall Street money managers who own them.

*************************

hat happens when your best friend morphs into your worst nightmare – and you’re stuck with her or you’ll lose your job and your self-respect?

That’s the predicament confronting Manhattan book publicist Amy Sherman. It’s been four years since she asked her best friend Tara Messer to be her maid of honor at her wedding to Stuart Lasher… four years since she walked in on Stuart and Tara doing the nasty in her bed… four years since her broken engagement broke her heart.

Now comes a chance meeting with her former BFF on a Manhattan street…

Amy runs into Tara, the beautiful high school blonde prom queen who’s now blissfully married to Stuart, and her ego plunges. Tara brags about her perfect life and asks Amy if she’s dating anyone. Amy swore she’d stop playing second fiddle to self-absorbed Tara, so she’s not about to admit she’s relentlessly single. To save face, she pretends she’s getting married in six months, figuring the lie will never come back to haunt her.

Wrong. The next day, Amy learns that her publishing house has just bought Tara’s lifestyle book. Now, she not only has to promote her nemesis to the media but come up with a temporary Mr. Right to play the part of her fiancé. In desperation, she turns to one of her authors, bestselling mystery writer Tony Stiles, who doesn’t have a clue that he’s being used in a game of one-upsmanship. Will Tara betray her yet again and steal Tony?

In Best Enemies, we get the story from both Amy and Tara in their own voices, and the result is as hilarious as it is truthful – a cautionary tale about trying to keep up appearances even with the person who knows you best.
