Oliver Booth and the Evil Socialite : Free Kindle and Nook Book

Editor's Note: David Sedaris fan? Well, here's a book that is right up your alley. Full of witty satire, it will have you laughing at the absurdity of high society! 

This book is wicked funny. The perfect book to read when flying from New York to Palm Beach!

Book Description: In OLIVER BOOTH AND THE EVIL SOCIALITE, Oliver Booth, the man readers love to hate, is back! In this hilarious sequel to the award-winning novel The Misadventures of Oliver Booth: Life in the Lap of Luxury, Oliver’s quest for fame and fortune leads him into the world of high-end real estate, where he becomes embroiled in a battle with a socialite who is not all that she appears to be. It’s a fast and funny satire you won’t want to miss.

Fans of Evelyn Waugh, David Sedaris, and John Kennedy Toole will love OLIVER BOOTH AND THE EVIL SOCIALITE. 

Author's Inspiration: I live in Palm Beach and I'm exposed to people with too much money and too much free time on a regular basis. I write my novels and my newspaper column in the Palm Beach Daily News to have a bit of fun with those people, but also to keep a bit of distance from their world, and I know I'm never going to run out of material!

Actor Who Would Play the Main Character: Nathan Lane

From the Book: Oliver Booth was not a professional parking valet, certainly not at his age. He also dabbled in the sale of antiques, although lately his role in that field had been limited to that of a deliveryman. Some months previously, he had attempted to defraud a certain Margaret Van Buren, the wealthy doyenne of Palm Beach society. Because of his status as the manager of an antique shop in town, Mrs. Van Buren had sent Oliver to Paris along with Bernard Dauphin, a young Frenchman who worked as a waiter at the Morningwood Club, to shop for furniture for her guest house at the Marché aux Puces. With Bernard's help, Mrs. Van Buren had uncovered Oliver's scheme to inflate the prices of the goods that had been purchased and thus his presumed commission and she had threatened to turn him in to the police unless he made reparations. Much to Oliver's chagrin, he had been required to cede control of the antique shop to Mrs. Van Buren and pay back all of the costs of his ill-fated trip.

Slouching Towards Kowloon : Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: Go on a cyberpunk post-apocalyptic thrill ride with this exciting read. You will be intrigued by it's premise and captivated by the action. 

I was on the edge of my seat and couldn't put it down.

Book Description: A vicious virus that turns people into monsters has destroyed Hong Kong. Now a young woman is searching for the only thing left in the wasteland, her only chance for hope: the viral shelters. Will she find it before the others find her? 

SLOUCHING TOWARDS KOWLOON is an action packed roller coaster ride that will have you on the edge of your seat. Fans of Neuromancer and The Walking Dead will enjoy SLOUCHING TOWARDS KOWLOON. 

From the Book: Ruby watched the south entrance of the Victoria Clave market from the inside of an abandoned arcade until dawn came up on it, and it slouched into life. The Gitjihng moved into place at the market entrance like black burn marks against the corrugated steel walls, and what had been menace had shifted into terror. Their guns flashed with false promises. Their decay had been from the inside out, a profound kind of hypocrisy Ruby was beginning to understand the contours of. The line began for registration, rickshaws and individual vendors, carts filled with handmade goods and things found in the waste. A corpse lay in a pile of garbage at the corner of the market, in front of what had once been a stim pharmacy, and people walked by it, deliberately unseeing. She watched and waited for the Swede, for the Korean girl, but they didn’t come. She would have to go in after them.

Stock Trading Riches: The Simple, But Powerful Formula That Transforms Your Stock Picks Into Money Pumps : Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: Want to make more money on your investments? Well here's a helpful guide that will help get your stock portfolio going up, up, up! 

This is the kind of system someone with very little investment or trading experience can pick-up and implement right away, that's how simple it is. 

Book Description: With increased living costs and retirement looming, it's important to have investments. STOCK TRADING RICHES describes an easy yet profitable method on how to make money in the stock market. Anyone with very little investment or trading experience can pick-up and implement right away. It applies the author's experience as a stock broker and reflects the principles of Taoism, jazz improvisation, and simplicity. This is the kind of system, that's how simple it is. 

Readers who enjoyed Value Averaging: The Safe and Easy Strategy for Higher Investment Returns, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and The Warren Buffett Way will like STOCK TRADING RICHES.

Author's Inspiration: In the 90's, I was a day trader glued to screens, phones, and CNBC. I found myself running faster just to stay in the game. I felt pressured to leverage my portfolio with futures and options. I worked hard, suffered stress, and failed to meet my performance goals.

Then, in 2000, I studied and applied the lessons of Taoism, Zen, and Hinduism: 

The market is reality. Traders must accept and adapt to whatever it does.

Focus on the present moment. It is the only thing you have control over.

Concentrate on your duty (trade your system), not on the fruits of your labor (short term results).

From the Book: This is not a “black box” system.  I do not want you to just take my rules and follow them blindly.  I want you to understand my system, test it, modify it, and make it  your own.  Your trading will be much more fun and productive when you have a system that you love and trust.

Editor's Note: Searching for a menacing thriller with an unexpected ending, then look no further than S'WANEE! 

The pacing of S'wanee will keep you on your seat and I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Author's Inspiration:  The book is based on a real place: Sewanee, the University of the South. I remember it as a child, and I went back to visit a couple years ago. It's a beautiful, magical place, so naturally I had to turn it into a nightmare.

Actor Who Would Play the Main Character: A younger Shia LaBeouf

From the Book: Dinner was subdued, and there was more food to go around and more places to sit and spread out. The rumblings of anger and rebellion that flared over the past few days had quieted, and Rebel’s Rest simmered down to calm acceptance. Long gone were Caleb’s booming voice and Skit’s throaty cackle. Absent were Vail’s sweet demeanor and Bishop’s and Emerson’s testosterone-fueled one-upmanship. Post-dinner study time was oddly quiet without Sin’s soothing piano as Cody struggled through an essay on the main themes of Hamlet. 

“Why are so many people dying?” Cody asked, and Banjo said, “I don’t know,” and Elliott said, “I don’t know.” They’d all wondered the same thing.
