About Featured Book: The Essence of Nathan Biddle by J. William Lewis

Only $0.99 for the month of October!

Protagonist Kit Biddle is a rising prep school senior who finds himself tangled in a web of spiritual quandaries and intellectual absurdities. Kit’s angst is compounded by a unique psychological burden he is forced to carry: his intelligent but unstable Uncle Nat has committed an unspeakable act on what, according to the Uncle’s deranged account, were direct orders from God.

The tragedy haunting his family follows Kit like a dark and foreboding cloud, exacerbating his already compulsive struggle with existential questions about the meaning of his life. When the brilliant, perhaps phantasmic, Anna dismisses him, Kit quickly spirals into despair and self-destruction. But when his irrational decision to steal a maintenance truck and speed aimlessly down the highway ends in a horrific accident and months of both physical and emotional convalescence, Kit is forced to examine his perceptions of his life and his version of reality.

In this exquisite bildungsroman, calamity leads to fresh perspectives and new perceptions: it focuses Kit’s mind and forces him to confront the issues that plague him. Readers will empathize―and celebrate―as the darkness lifts and Kit comes to terms with the necessity of engagement with life’s pain, pleasure . . . and absurdity.

An intelligent, clever, and captivating tale, The Essence of Nathan Biddle soars in the spaces that exist between despair and hope, darkness and light, love and loss. Beautifully written, profoundly moving, and resplendent with characters destined to remain with you long after the last page is turned, The Essence of Nathan Biddle is unforgettable.

About Featured Book: The Alice ’65 by Kyle Michel Sullivan

A romantic comedy about an English lad, an American girl, a rare book worth millions, and a lonely guard panther…not your typical day in LA.

Adam Verlain loves his careful, cloistered world of rare and antiquarian books. But when an American celebrity offers her very valuable 1865 copy of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” to his university, he has to be all but forced to travel from London to Los Angeles to close the deal. Then after a disastrous flight, he is taken aback when the actress refuses to give up the novel unless he escorts her to her latest film premier for reasons that seem…well, rather odd.

Subjected to a radical Hollywood makeover, Adam is mistaken for a British actor, dragged to a goofy party, has to dodge an overly affectionate guard panther, and is shocked to learn the actress has lost the book.

Can he escape the spotlight shenanigans to save a true treasure from falling into the wrong hands? And keep himself from falling for a woman who is way beyond his reach in this zany quest to rescue a priceless classic?
