Snatch 2&20 by Luke E. Fellows
Would you sell your soul to a sociopathic hedge fund titan for tens of millions in dirty cash? What about your sexy wife? What if it meant cozying up to a neurotic and lecherous tech entrepreneur while risking your freedom, and maybe even your life?
Snatch 2&20 is a satirical memoir parodying the author’s past life as a hedge fund manager. It should not only be of interest to the fans of the hit TV shows Billions and Silicon Valley, and books like The Wolf of Wall Street and Liar’s Poker, but to anyone who wants an insider’s take on the rotten core of our delusional plutocracy in this second Gilded Age.

Busville by Gary Midkiff
“A slice of life story that feels so real and relatable.” This novel provides a wonderful, feel-good look into a profession most of us never think about: school bus drivers. The author tackles big-picture issues (unionized workers fighting for a decent contract) and provides a poignant look into the drivers themselves, where everyone has intrinsic value, maybe even with an occasional spark of nobility.
Can Dispatcher Waverly Evans rise to a monumental challenge? Can Reverend Bobby Trent help drivers convinced God hates them? Can driver Rick Santiago overcome his recurring combat nightmare? Can driver Stephanie Brown salvage her finances? Can driver Connie Adams protect a kindergarten student she fears is being abused at home? Welcome to Busville. Purchase at https://amzn.to/2YIM3vq.
BFF: A Story About Bullycide by Lindsey G.P. Bell
“Both adult and teen readers will be moved by this poignant story.” Thirteen-year-old Abby and her father have just moved from a leaky old sailboat in California to an inherited mansion in South Carolina, and Abby does not fit in. This is the story of the summer adventure she shares with new best friend Hollis and two boys from their class.
But when school begins, Abby is shocked to learn that Hollis is a bullied outcast, who, when pushed to the limit, takes her own life — a phenomenon known as bullycide. BFF attempts to portray the loss felt by those left behind. Purchase at https://amzn.to/3bxD6KZ.
Asher and Stacey’s Magnificent Road Trip: An Unconditional Love Story by Stacey Cohen-Maitre
This is a story about a mother and son on a road trip along the Pacific Coast of Southern California. Asher is a nineteen-year-old child/teen/man diagnosed with severe cerebral palsy and a visual impairment rendering him nonverbal, wheelchair-bound and visually impaired. Stacey is his devoted mother and a neuropsychologist.
Along the way, Asher and Stacey experience unique challenges, some of which are almost too hard to believe and some that are truly heart wrenching. Somehow, they each survive in one piece, but their love and understanding for each other evolves to the deepest level to which a mother and son could ever aspire. Purchase at https://amzn.to/3gXJ491.
