Book Description
This novel reminds readers of the creator of the "Man at the Wheel," sculptor Leonard Craske; stock market wizard Roger Babson; Lanesville's baseball-loving Fred Foster of Foster Brothers' Drug Store; Floyd the Clammer; Henry Gould, the one-legged lifeguard of Half Moon beach; heroic Howard Blackburn; Jacobson's seaside family sauna and, from way back, Gloucester's unlucky sea serpent eyewitness and chronicler, Lonson Nash. As Gloucester's Tricentennial celebration (1623-1923) unfolds, enter two artists, Ed Hopper and Jo Nivison. See Jo's cat run. After Ed finds and returns Jo's beloved Arthur, she gratefully loans him her watercolors. When Ed promptly captures a vision of Gloucester for all time, he also comes to see his fellow artiste through new eyes. The "odd couple" attend a silent movie at the North Shore Theater, party at Leon Kroll's on Rocky Neck, sketch at Good Harbor beach, explore Lane's Cove, and drink Twin Lights ginger ale, made in Rockport. By the time of the climactic Tricentennial pageant at Stage Fort Park, a question hovers over the lovers: what next? Sketching and painting in Cape Ann's legendary light by day, spooning under its starry skies when they aren't fighting, Ed and Jo waver between commitment and separation in a narrative presented in a novel here for the first time ever anywhere. ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS BOOK GO TO FUND ACTIVITIES OF THE GLOUCESTER400 COMMITTEE.

Book Description
My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?

"Jo Beverley strains the boundaries of political correctness . . . There is no denying Ms. Beverley is a master storyteller and perhaps because of this political incorrectness she delivers a powerfully fresh stage for her story." ~Tara A. Green Ruined through her vile brother's schemes, Eleanor Chivenham is offered rescue by marriage to a rake with an infamous French mistress. Eleanor accepts, determined to treat the arranged marriage with cool dignity. Then she meets Nicholas Delaney. Not only does he stir her senses, but the trouble and pain beneath his smooth exterior reaches her heart. Nicholas is indeed troubled. While serving his country by seducing secrets out of a French spy, he is persuaded to marry Eleanor to protect his family's honor. But such chivalry runs counter to his carefully wrought rogue image, and extends the life-threatening plots shadowing him to Eleanor. To assist, Nicholas re-assembles the Company of Rogues, a schoolboy group he started years before. But not even they can dampen Eleanor's fighting wit that is quickly unmasking their enemy and testing Nicholas' formidable will.
