Book Description
“He knows. And he said he’s gonna kill you.” Jealous husbands are like that—likely to kill the other man. He needed to protect himself. She told him so. So he bought a gun. A gun he didn’t want. A gun he didn’t even want to touch. But when it came to it, would he be able to use it to save his own life? He found himself tangled in a web he couldn’t escape and his only hope of freedom is to shoot his way out. The gun weighed heavy in his hand and heavier on his conscience.

Book Description
Award-winning videomaker, performance artist, and pop-culture provocateur Kip Fulbeck has captivated audiences worldwide with his mixture of high comedy and personal narrative. In Paper Bullets, his first novel, Fulbeck taps into his Cantonese, English, Irish, and Welsh heritage, weaving a fictional autobiography from 27 closely linked stories, essays, and confessions. By turns sensitive and forceful, passionate and callous, Fulbeck confronts the politics of race, sex, and Asian American masculinity head-on without apology, constantly questioning where Hapas fit in a country that ignores multiracial identity. Raised in southern California by a Chinese-born mother and a Caucasian father, Fulbeck pushes the conventions of literary form as he simultaneously draws from, recreates, and fabricates his own life history. His range of experiences--from college professor to youth outreach volunteer, blues player to surfer and lifeguard--informs his witty and humane writing. Like himself, his protagonist is a young man shaped by the conflicting mores, stigmas, desires, and codes of male conduct in America. He searches for and mismanages love and independence, continually experimenting with sex along the way. Sometimes hilarious, always heartfelt, surfing the trivia of pop culture and sound bits, his inner voice shifts continually among the real, the perceived, and the imagined.

Book Description
The book follows the exploits of an octogenarian, Agustín Lara Camelia, a retired law enforcement executive living as a widowed recluse in the Pennsylvania countryside. An ill-advised response to an “escort” ad, ends tragically, and he finds himself facing a prison term for manslaughter. Because of his unique international background he is recruited as an unofficial infiltrator within Mexico by Agents of the US Department of Homeland Security Investigations who are investigating a sex trade organization with connection with a Mexican cartel controlling human trafficking between northern Mexico and the US. The old man finds himself conflicted while trying to atone for his crime and also follow the strict rules of HSI. Camelia relies on his experiences as a rookie police officer on the streets of Salinas, California. It was there that he last felt self-assured and learned that humanitarianism is the cornerstone of law enforcement, the part that gives purpose throughout a policeman’s life.

Book Description
If someone attacked the love of your life, how far would you go for payback? Private investigator Coleman Perkins is the kind of man who tries to do the right thing. His years of committing petty crimes and being locked up in juvenile prison are over. These days, he does his best to help people like Burt Glaser, the ex-cop who took him under his wing and helped him get on the straight and narrow. All Cole really wants is to do his job, find a good woman and start a family. It’s a life he might’ve had--except for Max Delaney. Years ago, Delaney attacked Cole’s pregnant ex-girlfriend. After that, Cole lost the woman he loved. And he’s been dreaming of revenge ever since. Now Delaney’s out of prison. Burning with rage, Cole makes a late-night visit to a very special taco truck, where he gets a .22 Ruger. That’s not a lot of firepower, but it should be more than enough to do what Cole has in mind--take down Delaney once and for all. First, however, he’s got to find him. When Cole ties the ex-con to a robbery at a high-end department store, he’s got two choices: go back to his law-abiding life and forget about Max Delaney. Or make him pay for what he’s done. Cole won’t walk away. He can’t, not after he starts looking into this new crime and meets the prime witness, a store clerk named Julia. She’s as beautiful as she is vulnerable, and for the first time in years, Cole finds some part of himself coming alive. Maybe it’s just desire. Or maybe it’s hope. As Cole connects with Julia, he quickly finds himself falling for her, and dreaming of the life they could have together. All he has to do is take care of Max Delaney. But as Cole soon discovers, he may not be the only one looking for payback.
