Book Basset

A powerful story about love, courage, sacrifice, resilience, and hope, True Grace, set in 1924 during the Harlem Renaissance and Roaring Twenties, chronicles the journey of an immigrant, mixed-raced woman from The Congo, England, and Jamaica, fighting for her family’s survival.

Inspired by real people and events, Grace must navigate the misogyny and racism of the courts, banks, child welfare system, and bad actors to hold her family together. Calling on her grit, determination, and grace, she must overcome harrowing circumstances. Readers will find themselves hooked from the first riveting chapter and cheering for Grace each step of the way.

On their second case, Qigiq and Kandy are loaned to the Traffic Division to investigate an early morning accident. Hit and run. By a motorcycle. The victim is an elderly Asian woman. A young witness in a nearby dry cleaner and a truck driver suggest all “accidents” aren’t created equal. Then the Captain drops a new assignment on their desk: an affluent Bay Area lawyer is missing. The man’s wife stomps into their office screaming about a contract she found hidden in the backups of their home computer. A contract with a seven-figure payout, and an incriminating Exhibit A.

Following the trail of both the motorcycle rider and the lawyer with Kandy complaining, “We’re homicide detectives, there should be a body,” leads to a vintage motorcycle club called the Ton Up where lips are sealed, a yacht harbor on the coast where riddles run deep, and a midnight roadside confrontation that ends with a splash. As the trails twist they soon find that these people and places have one thing in common:

A violist named Mylin. Who plays in an all-female orchestra called The Girls of the Orient. And, unbeknownst to her, is the subject of a fine-art photographer’s latest collection.

From San Francisco to Mexico, the treacherous cliffs of the Pacific coast to the desolation of Nevada’s high desert, Tune Up moves like Kandy’s turbocharged Mini through a foggy landscape of false identities, fake romance, and frenzied chases, as Qigiq realizes one picture really can reveal more than 1,000 words.

A fixer-upper farmhouse. A mysterious box of letters. And one surly single dad who kisses like he wants to ruin me.

Big Wood, Tennessee was supposed to be my escape from burnout.
Fresh air. Friendly faces. Zero emotional entanglements.

Then came Walker Hayes — hot, haunted, and as warm as a January blizzard.
He’s grumpy. I’m sunshine.
He growls. I giggle.
And now we’re caught in the slowest, hottest, most emotionally-charged game of chicken ever.

But when I stumble across a stack of unsent love letters in my attic, everything changes.
Because I know who wrote them.
And he has no idea I’ve read every word.
Or that I’ve already fallen for the man behind them.

In a town where nothing stays secret for long, loving Walker might be the biggest risk I’ve ever taken.
But what if it’s also the best?

These four single dads thought they were done with love. But love… isn’t done with them.
They’ve been burned — by divorce, betrayal, heartbreak — and now their lives revolve around playdates, carpools, and bedtime stories. Love? Not happening. Not again.
When unexpected women storm into their carefully controlled worlds — bringing sass, chaos, and the kind of heat they thought they’d locked away for good — these devoted fathers face a new kind of challenge: falling for the one person they shouldn’t.

Mervyn Ambrose has finally landed the role of a lifetime. The only problem is, he’s running out of time to play it.
At eighty-eight, after decades of playing “Man in Background” and “Third Tree from the Left,” Mervyn has become an overnight sensation as the nation’s favourite TV butler. He has the fame, the silver tray, and the perfect stoic expression. He also has terminal cancer.
Deciding that a dignified exit is the only way to keep the critics happy, Mervyn plans a quiet final curtain call. But he’s about to find out that when you’ve spent a lifetime in the theatre, your friends — and your fate — rarely stick to the script.
A hilariously dark and heart-stitching look at the messy business of saying goodbye. Perfect for fans of A Man Called Ove , The 100-Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, and Nick Spalding’s Grave Talk.

THE ONLY WAY OUT… IS UP

Former Blackhawk pilot Luke Angel wants nothing more than to enjoy the easy life he’s found in coastal Florida. He’s got a seaplane business, a well-trained dog, and a loyal and lovable crew to throw back margaritas with. But when a plane belonging to a friend goes missing from Luke’s airport, local detectives are understandably baffled. Clues are scattered from the Keys to the far side of the Gulf of Mexico, and Luke may be the only one with the connections to piece the puzzle back together.

The case rips open old family tensions for Luke and the woman he once loved. When his eleven-year-old niece gets dragged into the danger, Luke finds himself facing down elements of his past he thought long buried.

Dipping his floats into murky water has Luke tangling with deadly people who’d love nothing more than to clip his wings.

He’ll have to fly fast if he wants to protect the people he loves, or he’ll end up at the bottom of the bay.

Andie Carson has to do three things to inherit her grandmother’s lottery winnings — sober up, spend a month running her grandmother’s Georgia coffee shop, and enter homemade jam in the county fair. If she can’t meet those terms, the money goes to the church, and Andie gets nothing. She figures her tasks will be easy enough, and once she completes them, Andie plans to sell the shop, take the money, and run back to Boston.

After a rough breakup from his crazy ex-fiancée, Officer Gunnar Wills decides to take a hiatus from women. All he wants is to help make his small town thrive the way it did when he was a kid. But when wild and beautiful Andie shows up, Gunnar’s hesitant heart begins to flutter.

Gunnar knows that Andie plans to leave, but he’s hoping to change her mind, fearful that if her coffee shop closes, Main Street will fold to the big-box corporations and forever change the landscape of his quaint community. But convincing her to stay means getting close enough to risk his heart in the process. Even though Gunnar makes small-town life seem a little sweeter, Andie has to decide if she’s ready to turn her world upside down and give up big-city life. One thing’s for sure — it’s a very sticky situation.

You are no one. Level zero. Empty of mind and memory. Even your past has been stripped from your brain by the inscrutable System. A long, difficult road lies between you and remembering any part of who you are. A road punctuated with one death after another. You are too puny to survive by might alone. Information is the single resource that might keep you alive, but the brainless “digis” have none of it. Only those with experience can give you what you need, but most care nothing about you or your plight. In fact, some make it their mission to kill you. So die you will, again and again, your life counter clicking lower and lower. Even the creators do not know what happens when your counter reaches zero, but many are sure that your last life here is just that. No more respawns. You are not the first player in the world of S.T.Y.X., and you will not be the last. You can only hope luck will be on your side. The luckiest players are those who find a vulnerability in the System. Those they call cheaters. Perhaps cheating is the only way to win. Enjoy your game
