  • Portrait of a Dead Guy

    Larissa Reinhart

    Hardcover (Henery Press, July 23, 2014)
    HIGH-OCTANE ACTION WITH QUIRKY, DOWN-HOME CHARACTERS... "An entertaining mystery full of quirky characters and solid plotting...Highly recommended for anyone who likes their mysteries strong and their mint juleps stronger!" - Jennie Bentley, New York Times Bestselling Author of Flipped Out "Reinhart is a truly talented author and this book was one of the best cozy mysteries we reviewed this year...We highly recommend this book to all lovers of mystery books. Our Rating: 4.5 Stars." - Mystery Tribune In Halo, Georgia, folks know Cherry Tucker as big in mouth, small in stature, and able to sketch a portrait faster than buckshot rips from a ten gauge - but commissions are scarce. So when the well-heeled Branson family wants to memorialize their murdered son in a coffin portrait, Cherry scrambles to win their patronage from her small town rival. As the clock ticks toward the deadline, Cherry faces more trouble than just a controversial subject. Between ex-boyfriends, her flaky family, an illegal gambling ring, and outwitting a killer on a spree, Cherry finds herself painted into a corner she'll be lucky to survive. Praise for PORTRAIT OF A DEAD GUY: "The tone of this marvelously cracked book is not unlike Sophie Littlefield's brilliant A Bad Day for Sorry, as author Reinhart dishes out shovelfuls of ribald humor and mayhem. It takes a rare talent to successfully portray a beer-and-hormone-addled artist as a sympathetic and worthy heroine, but Reinhart pulls it off with tongue-in-cheek panache." - Betty Webb, Mystery Scene Magazine "Don't miss Portrait of a Dead Guy by Larissa Reinhart! Portrait is pure enjoyment, a laugh out loud mystery with some Southern romance thrown in. Five stars out of Five." - Lynn Farris, National Mystery Review Examiner at Examiner.com "Laugh-out-loud funny and as Southern as sweet tea and cheese grits, Larissa Reinhart's masterfully crafted whodunit, Portrait of a Dead Guy, provides high-octane action with quirky, down-home characters and a trouble-magnet heroine who'll steal readers' hearts and have them begging for the next Cherry Tucker Mystery." -Debby Giusti, author of The Captain's Mission and The Colonel's Daughter "Larissa Reinhart's debut sparkles with wit. A fun, fast-paced read and a rollicking start to her Cherry Tucker Mystery Series. If you like your stories southern-fried with a side of romance, this book's for you!" - Leslie Tentler, Author of Midnight Caller "A sweet, southern stroke of brilliance. If there's one thing we do right in the south it's funerals and food. This book cooks up some morbid mayhem that will leave you asking for seconds.... Action, humor, mystery and a dash of romance all packed into one quirky creation. Trust me when I tell you-don't miss this one." - Kerri Nelson, The Book Boost Books in the Cherry Tucker Humorous Mystery Series: QUICK SKETCH (Novella prequel to PORTRAIT in HEARTACHE MOTEL) PORTRAIT OF A DEAD GUY (#1) STILL LIFE IN BRUNSWICK STEW (#2) HIJACK IN ABSTRACT (#3) DEATH IN PERSPECTIVE (#4) Part of the Henery Press Mystery Series Collection, if you like one, you'll probably like them all...
  • THE BELIEF IN Angels

    J. Dylan Yates

    (Chenery Press, March 15, 2015)
    *** Winner 2015 THEODOR S. GEISEL AWARD*** Winner of the 2015 SAN DIEGO BOOK AWARD for General Fiction A raw and haunting, coming-of-age novel about a courageous young girl and her grandfather who share tragedy, unique survival skills and divine intervention. Growing up in her parents' crazy hippie household on a tiny island off the coast of Boston, Jules's imaginative sense of humor is the weapon she wields as a defense against the chaos of her family's household. Somewhere between routine discipline with horsewhips, gun-waving gambling debt collectors, and LSD-laced breakfast cereal adventures, tragedy strikes a blow from which Jules may never recover. Jules's story alternates with that of her grandfather, Szaja, an Orthodox Jew who survives the murderous Ukranian pogroms of the 1920s, the Majdanek death camp, and the torpedoing of the Mefkura, a ship carrying refugees to Palestine. Unable to deal with the horrors he endures at the camp, Szaja develops a dissociative disorder and takes on the persona of a dead soldier from a burial ditch, using that man's thoughts to devise a plan to escape to America. While Szaja's and Jules's sorrows are different on the surface, adversity requires them both to find the will to live despite the suffering in their lives--and both encounter, in their darkest moments, what could be explained as serendipity or divine intervention. For Jules and Szaja, these experiences offer the hope they need to come to the rescue of their own fractured lives. *** Winner 2014 USA BEST BOOK AWARD for Cross-Genre Fiction *** Finalist 2015 INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARD for Literary Fiction For the adapted Young Adult version*** 2018 IAN AWARD*** 2018 WISHING SHELF AWARD Finalist*** 2015 IPPY Winner *** 2014 USA BEST BOOK AWARD Finalist*** 2015 KINDLE BOOK AWARD Finalist*** 2015 LEAPFROG PRESS AWARD Honorable Mention

That girl has gumption and everyone better move out her way when she's in the pursuit of justice...this action-filled whodunit [is] entertainingly delightful." - Dru Ann Love, Dru's Book Musings "Larissa Hoffman's Still Life in Brunswick Stew is not to be missed by readers who love their who-done-it down-home with good food, good friends and livestock.

  • St. George for England: A Tale of Cressy and Poitiers

    G. A. Henty

    Paperback (Henty Press, Jan. 9, 2011)
    At no period of her history did England stand so high in the eyes of Europe as in the time whose events are recorded in this volume. A chivalrous king and an even more chivalrous prince had infected the whole people with their martial spirit, and the result was that their armies were for a time invincible, and the most astonishing successes were gained against numbers which would appear overwhelming. The victories of Cressy and Poitiers may be to some extent accounted for by superior generalship and discipline on the part of the conquerors; but this will not account for the great naval victory over the Spanish fleet off the coast of Sussex, a victory even more surprising and won against greater odds than was that gained in the same waters centuries later over the Spanish Armada. The historical facts of the story are all drawn from Froissart and other contemporary historians.
