The
Romanov Bride
by Robert Alexander
This
fantastic historical novel chronicles the careers of two emblematic
individuals-the real-life Grand Duchess Elisavyeta (Ella), sister of
Alexandra, the last tsarina, and the fictional Pavel, a young
revolutionary. Alexander's extensive knowledge of Russian history
makes the novel both realistic and readable. |

The
English American
by Alison Larkin
Larkin's debut novel
takes a comedic but heartfelt look at issues of identity, heredity
and self-acceptance. Pippa Dunn, a British woman in her late
twenties, has never really felt like she fits in. When she learns
that she was adopted and that her birth mother is an American, she
finally understands why.

By
Reason of Insanity
by Randy Singer
Inspirational suspense
novelist Singer hooks readers from the opening courtroom scene of
this tasty thriller, then spurs them through a fast trot across a
storyline that just keeps delivering. When Catherine O'Rourke finds
herself on trial as a bible quoting serial killer, she isn't sure if
she is guilty or innocent…and neither are her lawyers.
