Listen to This! Late July Audiobook Releases

7/28/2015

So this week we have a marvelous historical novel about a family pulled into the crime of 19th century New York and a hilarious gay mystery set on a college campus. Both books are available in print and ebook editions if you are not a fan of dulcet renditions.

This darkly lyrical and violent family saga set in a butcher shop in New York circa 1930 tells the story of three Irish brothers struggling to find their roles - to define their lives and express their dreams - amid the poverty of a broken home, an alcoholic father, and the violent society of Hell's Kitchen. Dickie is guided by an almost animal desire to get what he wants and, as a fighter, is fearless in his pursuit of being respected by mobsters. Walt, the middle brother, romances a woman whose educated father sees the lad as gutter trash. Then there is frail Adlai, who finds himself on the most perilous path - an illicit affair with his oldest brother's best friend. The Butcher's Sons is an engaging read about desperate young men determined to do whatever they can to find something gilded amid the grime of old New York.

It could be curtains for college theatre professor Nicky Abbondanza. With dead bodies popping up all over campus, Nicky must use his drama skills to figure out who is playing the role of murderer before it is lights out for Nicky and his colleagues. Complicating matters is Nicky's huge crush on Noah Oliver, a gorgeous assistant professor in his department, who may or may not be involved with a cocky graduate assistant... and is also the top suspect for the murders!

It's Been 150 Years but the Civil War Captivates Us

I believe there are more books written and read about the American Civil War than any other period in U.S. history. I know that I have long been fascinated by some of the more...unique elements of the conflict - cross-dressing soldiers, homosexuality among the troops, what exhausted men were forced to forage for food (using acorns to make faux coffee, eating the leather from the belts and shoes), and the advances in medicine (some physicians had never seen so much anatomy before in their lives).


Maybe that is why
Jeff Mann's duology, Purgatory and Salvation are such successful books. Jeff did his research but also remembered fiction readers demand characters we can relate to and care for. A Confederate officer with regrets about the war's violence. A Union soldier captured and at the mercy of the enemy. Can war strip away humanity? These gay historical romances are rich in detail and engaging reads.

For this week we're offering a special deal on Purgatory - $12 - and Salvation - $9. Just click on the covers to go directly to the product page.

Salvation won the Lambda Literary Award for Best Gay Romance. Jeff's very proud of this achievement as you can see below:
