Brown Sugar Kitchen: New-Style, Down-Home Recipes from Sweet West Oaklandby Tanya Holland

Brown Sugar Kitchen is more than a restaurant. This soul-food outpost is a community gathering spot, a place to fill the belly, and the beating heart of West Oakland, a storied postindustrial neighborhood across the bay from San Francisco.

The restaurant is a friendly beacon on a tree-lined parkway, nestled low and snug next to a scrap-metal yard in this Bay Area rust belt. Out front, customers congregate on long benches and sprawl in the grass, soaking up the sunshine, sipping at steaming mugs of Oakland-roasted coffee, waiting to snag one of the tables they glimpse through the swinging doors. Deals are done, friends are made; this is a community in action. In short order, they'll get their table, their pecan-studded sticky buns, their meaty hash topped with a quivering poached egg. Later in the day, the line grows, and the orders for chef-owner Tanya Holland's famous chicken and waffles or oyster po'boy fly. This is when satisfaction arrives.

Brown Sugar Kitchen, the cookbook, stars 86 recipes for re-creating the restaurant's favorites at home, from a thick Shrimp Gumbo to celebrated Macaroni & Cheese to a show-stopping Caramel Layer Cake with Brown Butter–Caramel Frosting. And these aren't all stick-to-your-ribs recipes: Tanya's interpretations of soul food star locally grown, seasonal produce, too, in crisp, creative salads such as Romaine with Spring Vegetables & Cucumber-Buttermilk Dressing and Summer Squash Succotash. Soul-food classics get a modern spin in the case of B-Side BBQ Braised Smoked Tofu with Roasted Eggplant and a side of Roasted Green Beans with Sesame-Seed Dressing. Straight-forward, unfussy but inspired, these are recipes you'll turn to again and again.

Rich visual storytelling reveals the food and the people that made and make West Oakland what it is today. Brown Sugar Kitchen truly captures the sense–and flavor–of this richly textured and delicious place.

Dirty Deedsby Armand Rosamilia

I get paid to erase problems.

Did your extramarital affair produce an unwanted complication? Family problems? Just want to enjoy your midlife crisis by yourself?

Only, I’m not going to do what you think. I’m not going to save you from them, I’m going to save them from you.

Sitting Duckby Robert Dodds

‘Not a whodunnit, but a who’ll do it!’
‘Lucky Jim’ meets ‘The Beach’: a pacy, comic novel with a sting in the tail.

This is the journal of Martin Mallard: middle-aged, divorced and uptight, but determined to put a little adventure into his life. He’s signed up with Target Holidays for a group tour of Pootapuri, an obscure island in the Bay of Bengal. The ill-assorted group turns into a hornets’ nest, and, worse, it gradually dawns on him that someone has got it in for him. Someone homicidal…
Within his journal’s pages lie the clues to his eventual murder. It’s been so generous of the murderer to share the journal with us – and belatedly to fulfil Martin’s own literary ambitions.

The Homing Instinct: Meaning & Mystery in Animal Migrationby Bernd Heinrich

“A noted naturalist explores the centrality of home in the lives of humans and other animals . . . A special treat for readers of natural history” (Kirkus Reviews).

Every year, many species make the journey from one place to another, following the same paths and ending up in the same places. Every year since boyhood, the acclaimed scientist and author Bernd Heinrich has done the same, returning to a beloved patch of western Maine woods. Which led him to wonder: What is the biology in humans of this primal pull toward a particular place, and how is it related to animal homing?

In The Homing Instinct, Heinrich explores the fascinating mysteries of animal migration: how geese imprint true visual landscape memory; how scent trails are used by many creatures to locate their homes with pinpoint accuracy; and how even the tiniest of songbirds are equipped for solar and magnetic orienteering over vast distances. And he reminds us that to discount our human emotions toward home is to ignore biology itself.

“A graceful blend of science and memoir . . . [Heinrich’s] ability to linger and simply be there for the moment when, for instance, an elderly spider descends from a silken strand to take the insect he offers her is the heart of his appeal.” –Julie Zickefoose, The Wall Street Journal

“Deep and insightful writing.” –David Gessner, The Washington Post

WHEN COMMUNITIES DISAPPEAR: The Unspoken Truths of Community Revitalization Ideologies and Policies in the United Statesby Veronica Smith

Over the past several decades, it has grown increasingly clear that many of the United States’ policies and practices created for the purpose of improving the economic conditions and environments of the poor and marginalized are no longer working. In some instances, it appears that such policies have never worked. This begets the question: Who is best suited to determine the needs of the poor and who is obligated to support and sustain those needs?

Economic, political, religious, and social policies are complex. They can also be dangerous when abused or misunderstood. When this occurs, the abuse and misunderstandings can have people advocating and fighting for things they don’t really believe or truly desire. What do I mean? Community revitalization ideologies and policies are built around people and the environment. Such policies have historically been shaped around the perceived needs of poor people. What many people do not realize or have never stopped to consider is that these policies that impact the lives of many people have been constructed from a melting pot of individuals, of people with vastly differing agendas, beliefs, experiences, and opinions–ideologies.

Furthermore, when it comes to things such as displacement, eviction, and gentrification, there are typically three common factors, no matter where on the globe the community may be: poverty, politics, and policy. There is always more to the story than what the average observer may think. The backstory is what ultimately set the stage for this book.

BACK PAIN GONE!: The Complete Guide to Getting Rid Of Your Back Pain in 7 Days or Less.by Dr. Carlos Gonzalez

After having read many books on back pain and Inversion Therapy I knew I had to write a better book on Back Pain. Many of the other books on just give you a limited perspective when discussing back pain. The solutions were limited too. There is NOT just one cause of low back pain or back pain in general. There are many causes for back pain, lower back pain and they really did not discuss all the possible complications like if you have a disc herniation, muscle spasms, failed back surgery, scoliosis, chronic back pain etc. The solutions were also quite limited.

After having successfully treated over 10,000 patients with back pain for 30 years I knew it was time to write The Complete Guide To Getting Rid of Back Pain and teach people how to avoid dangerous addicting pain pills, costly and risky spine surgeries that often times left people worse off than before the surgery or be told they would have to learn to live with the pain.

This book has been a labor of Love and Passion which took 15 years to write and re-write but really took 30 years in the making. I Love what I do and I love helping those people that are in pain and suffering. I truly believe this could the the answer you've been praying for.

Throne of Shadowsby Emma Fenton

Magic or Myth?

Princess Honoria Ramadani is mere weeks away from marrying the man she loves, becoming a queen, and finally escaping the suffocating atmosphere of the Helish court. When an ominous prophecy threatens Ria’s entire future, she’s hesitant to put stock behind childish superstition. But with her parents’ sudden, inexplicable illness and subsequent deaths, she can no longer deny that there are greater forces at work.

The discovery of an antiquated law forces Ria to fight for both her life and the throne, pitting her against her vicious older sister. An ancient demon-summoning ritual–which promises that any desire can be granted, for a price–may be the only thing that can save Ria from certain death. But witchcraft is a finicky matter, and she soon finds herself magically bound to an arrogant demon who might cause more problems than he solves.

There are worse terrors than demons lurking in the palace walls, however, and Ria will have to forge the unlikeliest of alliances if she wants to have any chance of surviving.

The Painted Bridge: A Novelby Wendy Wallace

Spellbinding and intricate, The Painted Bridge is a tale of secrets, lost lives, and a woman seizing her own destiny: “A chilling page-turner about the muddy line between sanity and madness” (Caroline Leavitt, author of Pictures of You).

Outside London behind a stone wall stands Lake House, a private asylum for genteel women of a delicate nature. In the winter of 1859, recently married Anna Palmer becomes its newest arrival, tricked by her husband into leaving home, incarcerated against her will, and declared hysterical and unhinged. With no doubts as to her sanity, Anna is convinced that she will be released as soon as she can tell her story. But Anna learns that liberty will not come easily. The longer she remains at Lake House, the more she realizes that–like the ethereal bridge over the asylum’s lake–nothing is as it appears. She begins to experience strange visions and memories that may lead her to the truth about her past, herself, and to freedom…or lead her so far into the recesses of her mind that she may never escape.

Set in Victorian England, as superstitions collide with a new psychological understanding, novelist Wendy Wallace “masterfully creates an atmosphere of utter claustrophobia and dread, intermingled with the ever-present horror of the reality of women’s minimal rights in the nineteenth century” (Publishers Weekly). The Painted Bridge is a tale of self-discovery, secrets, and a search for the truth in a world where the line between madness and sanity seems perilously thin.

A Fool For Love & Moneyby John D. Ottini

Love and Money are two important ingredients in a man’s recipe for happiness. Unfortunately, those same two ingredients under the wrong circumstances can be a man’s recipe for disaster.

Unlucky at love, unemployed and drowning in debt, Thomas Murphy is a man in need of salvation.

When an unexpected gift arrives from an unknown source, Tom is confused, yet elated about his new-found fortune. His luck continues when he runs into an old flame he hasn’t seen in years and sparks begin to fly. Strange how a man’s fate can change when he least expects it – one moment he’s miserable and struggling to make ends meet, and the next he’s back on his feet and looking forward to a bright future… or so Tom thinks.

Then Tom’s rediscovered love reveals the shocking skeletons in her closet and he must decide to forgive and forget or turn his back and walk away. An innocent search on the internet turns up a problem that could stand between Tom’s good fortune and ultimately, him and the love of his life. If he chooses to stay, he must find a way to live with what he has to do to keep her in his life.

They say that love is blind and money is the root of evil, but sometimes you don’t realize the truth of those adages until it’s too late.

A Fool for Love & Money is a novel about love, desire, greed, murder and forgiveness.

An “intricate literary mystery [of] wrenching effect” by the internationally acclaimed, bestselling author of The Club Dumas (The New Yorker).

Someone has hacked into the pope’s personal computer–not to spy on the Vatican or to spread a virus, but to send an urgent plea for help: SAVE OUR LADY OF THE TEARS. The crumbling Baroque church in the heart of Seville is slated for demolition–and two of its defenders have suddenly died. Accidents? Or murders? And was the church itself somehow involved?

The Vatican promptly dispatches Father Lorenzo Quart, their worldly and enormously attractive emissary, to investigate the situation, track down the hacker–known only as “Vespers”–and stay alive. Thus begins a sophisticated and utterly suspenseful page-turner that has taken its readers by storm.

“An elegant thriller that is as much about the elusive quest for happiness as it is about solving the murders.” —The Denver Post

“An indelible tale of love, faith, and greed.” —People, Page-Turner of the Week

Longshotby Johnny B. Truant

Even while Las Vegas catches fire all around him, John Abbot decides to let it ride. For the first time in his life it feels like he can do no wrong.

It might even require him to pull together the motley crew of left-over lowlifes and Vegas vagabonds to embark on a high-risk crusade.

In order to get a dying alien to Area 51, and hopefully save the world, John’s only hope is a disillusioned showgirl, a snarky comedian, a cynical slot machine junkie, and the rest of the Las Vegas leftovers.

Unless they die, and destroy the universe along the way.

On the Rocks (A Ruby Steele Mystery—Book 1)by Mia Gold

“This is my first read by this author and I was really surprised at how good it is.”
–Amazon review (5 stars)

“Just a great read!! Did not want to put it down!!”
–Amazon review (5 stars)

Ruby Steele, 30, beautiful, fit, seems just like any other ex-pat hiding out in the Bahamas and playing local bartender. But unruly patrons find out the hard way: Ruby is a mixed-martial-arts pro, and not one you’d want to cross.

In fact, Ruby would be a champion if she hadn’t been forced to walk away and hide out in the Bahamas.

Because Ruby knows too much. She knows where the bodies are buried. And she knows when it’s time to get out of town.

But what Ruby doesn’t know is why there is a dead tourist in the dumpster behind her seedy bar.

Or why, she, of all people, had to find it.

Or why this guy was out at 3am when he had a pretty fiancé waiting in a hotel room a mile away.

Or why the local cops are pinning her.

Or why she’s gonna be forced into a choice: find the killer, or do hard time herself.

For Ruby, good choices have never been her strong point.

And this one’s definitely not going to be good…

Welcome to the Bahamian world of Ruby Steele, replete with her local dive bar, her wily pet monkey, her major drinking problem, her (way) too many fights, her inability to get herself out of trouble, and her fists made of stone. Ruby’s life is a complete wreck. But there’s one thing she’s good at: capturing your heart.

ON THE ROCKS (A RUBY STEELE MYSTERY) is the debut novel in a page-turning mystery/thriller series, one that will linger with you long after the last page is read.

Books #2 (EXTRA DIRTY) and #3 (FULL-BODIED) in the series are also available.

It's not easy being a parent these days. There are bills to pay. Kids to feed. And hordes of undead monsters to keep at bay.

Talk Dirty To Meby Ali Parker

The story was an emotional one which held my attention from beginning to end. Ali has written a truly moving tale. — Amazon Reviewer

A woman in the business of love that’s never been in a real relationship.

Check. That’s me. Nessa Night.

Now I know what you’re thinking. That sounds like a stripper name.

Hold up. Let me explain.

It’s my radio talk-show name. My incognito way of helping the world love deeper and more often.

Though my love life is like a ten-year-old fall leaf trapped between the pages of an old journal. #dramatic

I’m short. Curvy. Average at best.

And I’m a fraud.

For all the advice I give on the air, I have zero experience to back it up. I’m eternally single. Forever alone.

And the only man I’ve ever caught feelings for is one of my callers: Mr No Name.

Much to my surprise, he’s not unknown at all.

The grandson of the great Jack Daniels is my caller, and worse? He’s my brother’s best friend from high school.

Only one way to right these increasingly awkward wrongs.

High school reunion time. He wants in, and I want a date who looks like him.

The only thing off is his advice about love. It’s from Nessa night. Me!

And if he swoons over her (me!) one more time, I’ll have to give in and tell him.

Besides, I’m in the business of love.

If I don’t got this, who does? *Gulp*

All Good Thingsby Weston Parker

The book will catch your attention right at the beginning and keep it until the end. The chemistry was off the charts… — Amazon Reviewer

Fake romantic interest to get a good review on my business? You know it.

It’s finally my chance to take on my father by starting a luxury resort that’s in direct competition with his.

And now my big chance is getting blown. By a vlogger with a great set of legs and a terrible first impression of the place.

But as always, I’m here to save the day. Seduction is my specialty.

Her first time to the island didn’t go so well, but I’m going to wine her and dine her and offer anything she wants–including me.

The saucy little thing has too much power.

Unfortunately, she also has a body I can’t stop thinking about and a personality that’s dragging me under the waves with wants.

Her finding out about my cheap tricks isn’t going to end well.

Faking it only lasts for so long until I realize she’s the one.

That’s about the time she finds me out and I might have to beg.

I’m not losing this woman. She’s mine and she’ll stay with me.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
