WHEN THE MOON BECAME A STAR by Kathleen Gerard

For most of her life, Jodie DiMaggio’s claim to fame was her famous, if distant, relative. Not that he was much comfort when her mom had her cleaning the stove or delivering Tupperware. Somehow, though, Jodie found a way to carve out her own successful career in one of the world’s lesser known sports.

THICKER THAN WATER by Brenda Chapman

Betty-Ann’s marriage to Carl hasn’t been perfect, but they’ve made a life for themselves, and their boy Tyler gives it meaning. The precarious balance may tip, however, now that Jenny Simpson has made an unexpected appearance.

IN THE WALLS by Rebecca M. Senese

Roger’s life, and especially his marriage, are not anywhere near where he’d like them to be. Then squirrels arrive in his attic to add to his frustrations. Or is their appearance the beginning of something else?

JUST ARRIVED by David Routledge

Conrad Reid meets Joan Wilson on a London bus in the early days of World War II. It’s a dangerous time, a deceptive time, and you never know who you can trust—as at least one of them is about to find out.

THE DEVIL, THE DESERT AND MR. SMITH by Kristene Perron

Eddy loved wintering at Campo Estero Pacifico in Baja California. If it hadn’t been for those tourists with their campers, guidebooks and wide-eyed questions, life could have been perfect. But Eddy had a sure-fire method for sending those snowbirds back home with their tails between their legs—until he met Smith.
