In the Country Store Mysteries, chef and carpenter Robbie Jordan

remodels a country store full of antique cookware in fictional South Lick,
Indiana, and turns it into a local breakfast and lunch establishment
called Pans N Pancakes. She doesnt plan to have murder on the menu.
But small-town secrets and bitter rivalries put sand in the batter and

restaurant. But when another murder rattles the small town, can Robbie defrost the motives
of a cold-blooded killer?
Before she started hosting dinners for Indiana Universitys Sociology Department at Pans

Lou. So when Robbie and Lou go snowshoeing the next morning and find the contentious

To prove her friends innocence, Robbie is absorbing local gossip about Professor Stiltons
past and developing her own thesis on the homicideeven if that means stirring up terrible
danger for herself along the way

ANTIQUES FATE
A Trash n Treasures Mystery

Tenth book of a wacky, laugh-outloud cozy mystery series set in the
world of antiques.
Antiques Fate includes three
delicious recipes.
Max Allan Collins, half of the

Now the pair have traveled to the nearby English-style hamlet of Old
York, where Mother has a starring role in Macbeth and must avoid a
real-life tragedy. A treat for fans of Joan Hess, Dorothy Cannell, and
Carolyn Hart.
Brandy Bornes exceedingly eccentric mother, Vivian, has been invited to perform her

The weekend festival celebrates the quaint villages English flavor. Brandy, sensing a possible

As soon as they arrive in the cozy hamlet, tragedy strikes: the theater owner drops dead

UPTOWN THIEF
Justice Hustlers
Aya de Len
For fans of the urban soap operas of Kiki Swinson and Niobia Bryant,
Aya de Leons debut on the Dafina listnow available in mass market
is a sexy, heart-stopping tale, about one smart, sizzling mami who robs
the rich and protects the exploiteduntil one heist too many puts everything at stake
KEY SELLING POINTS
Aya de Len fills a need for
diverse characters with Uptown
Thief featuring a Latina main
character and a well-rounded
multicultural cast of secondary
characters.
Like Kiki Swinsons successful
Heist novels, Aya de Lens
Uptown Thief centers around a
sexy heroine who schemes to
pull the ultimate heist in order to
bankroll her womens clinic in
the Lower East Side neighborhood
of Manhattan.
With an enviable resume and
background, Aya is an awesome
self-promoter and networker.
Shes been featured on Def
Poetry, Essence, xojane.com,
Washington Post, Writers Digest,
Womens Day, Bitch Magazine,
and HuffPostLive.
Like the dramedy Orange is the
New Black, Uptown Thief
features smart, likeable main
and secondary characters that
are on the wrong side of the
law, a multicultural cast of
characters, and an edgy, soapy
storyline that has wide appeal.
Marisol Rivera barely survived being abused with nowhere to turn. So theres nothing she
wont do to keep her Lower East Side womens health clinic open and give disadvantaged
women new lives. Running an exclusive escort service for New York Citys rich and powerful
1% is the perfect way to bankroll her businessnot to mention the perfect cover for robbing
corrupt CEOs. And when times get even tougher, pulling a heist on a mega-billionaire will
secure the clinics futureand her gorgeous crewsfor good
Theres just one problem: Marisol didnt anticipate bad news even more dangerous than
her curves. A seductive ex-cop whos too close for comfort, and a powerful thug with a score
to settle, are turning Marisols precise planning and seductive fail-safes into insidious traps.
Now this beautiful modern-day Robin Hood will have to play some lethal wild cards

HOPE BLOOMS
Jamie Pope
With a tender, romantic love story and a timely plotline involving

the aftermath of a school shooting, acclaimed African American author
Jamie Pope oers a powerful, sensual novel of joy and healing in the
wake of tragedy.
KEY SELLING POINTS
Hope Blooms provides readers
with a very relevant, contemporary
story. It deals sensitively with
the timely issue of how a
community must heal in the wake
of a violent attack, while also
delivering a deeply emotional
romance between two people
of different races.
Jamie Pope draws from her
personal experiences as an
elementary school teacher. She
was teaching in a neighboring
district on the day of the Sandy
Hook shooting. Her memories of
that day compelled her to write
this story about how a woman
heals after such tragedy.
Like Brenda Jackson, Jamie Pope
has a talent for creating strong
characters who must overcome
difficult situations. Readers will
relish this story of a woman
healed by love in the aftermath
of a devastating ordeal.
In one shattering instant, schoolteacher Cassandra Miller lost everything that mattered
to her. Stricken with guilt and sorrow, she has no reason to care about tomorrow. The last
person she wants help from is the man she wants to forget. In childhood, Wylie Everett
was her cherished best friend. In adulthood, he was the secret lover who left her without
explanation. Now hes the person who wont let her go down without a fight. And as he
renews her joy in small things, and challenges her to take a fresh perspective, the desire they
once shared burns more fiercely than everand proves anything but safe.
An ex-Marine, Wylie has always loved Cass, though their backgrounds were as dierent as
could be. Years ago, he walked away believing he could never be good enough for her. But
hes never stopped regretting his decision. Now, helping her heal is the only way he can make
amends, and hopefully make up for lost time. But their rekindled passion will be tested by
pain hes never resolvedand mistakes for which forgiveness may not be enough. Can he
and Cass find one last way to move forward, and risk rebuilding their livestogether?

The Missing Truth about Steven Avery, Teresa
Halbach, and Making a Murderer
Michael Griesbach
A veteran Manitowoc prosecuter exposes the shocking facts deliberately
left out of the hit Netflix series Making a Murdererand argues
persuasively that Steven Avery was rightfully convicted in the 2005 killing
of Teresa Halbach.
KEY SELLING POINTS
Making A Murderer was
nominated for an Emmy award
for Outstanding Documentary.
Netflix has announced Making
a Murderer Season 2 with new
episodes covering Steven Averys
life post-conviction and his
legal appeals.
Michael Griesbach is a Wisconsin
prosecuting attorney who was
instrumental in exonerating
Steven Avery as part of the
Wisconsin Innocence Project.
Although not directly involved in
the prosecution of Steven Avery

through his position as an

Michael Griesbach has spoken
about the Steven Avery case, and
has been featured on a variety of
outlets, including The Chicago
Tribune, In Touch, The Wrap,

Variety, Bustle, and more.
When the saga of Steven Avery exploded onto the public consciousness with the airing of
Making a Murderer, Michael Griesbach, a prosecutor and member of Wisconsins Innocence
Project who had been instrumental in Averys 2003 exoneration, was targeted on social
media, threatenedand plagued by doubt. Now, in this suspenseful, thorough narrative, he
recounts his own re-examination of the evidence in light of the whirlwind of controversy
stirred up by the blockbuster true-crime series.
As Griesbach carefully reviews allegations of tampering and planted evidence, previously
sealed documents deemed inadmissible at trial by Judge Patrick L. Willisand a
little-known, plausible alternate suspecthe shows how the filmmakers agenda, the accused
mans dramatic backstory, and sensational media coverage have clouded the truth about
Steven Avery.
Now as Netflix prepares to air the second season of Making a Murderer, Griesbach fights to
set the record straight.

In searing, bare-bones prose, Griesbach, a longtime Wisconsin prosecutor and active

rhetoric and prejudiced presentation of the documentary and sets the record straight.
