Jack Stories
Author: Danny McKinney
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1543438385
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 73
Book Description
These stories are like some of the movies we watch sometimes. They are based on actual events. However, the events are scrambled, using stories from several members of our family. They are multigenerational. Stories that my granny told are attributed to my dad, and stories from other family members are from him as well. Some of these stories even come from my own life, now incorporated as Jack stories. A couple of these stories are completely from my imagination but are told in historical context. Most of the people in these stories are real, but most of what is told here has been manufactured in the far-reaching places of my mind. I love my family and the East Tennessee area in which we were all born and raised. Because my purpose has been to shine a positive light on our people (we all have skeletons in our closets, but we dont have to live in there with them!), I have focused on the funny and sweet moments I keep in my treasure chest of memories. Thanks for reading. Danny McKinney

Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore
Author: Matthew Sullivan
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 150111686X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
When a bookshop patron commits suicide, his favorite store clerk must unravel the puzzle he left behind in this “intriguingly dark, twisty” (Kirkus Reviews) debut novel from an award-winning short story writer. Lydia Smith lives her life hiding in plain sight. A clerk at the Bright Ideas bookstore, she keeps a meticulously crafted existence among her beloved books, eccentric colleagues, and the BookFrogs—the lost and lonely regulars who spend every day marauding the store’s overwhelmed shelves. But when Joey Molina, a young, beguiling BookFrog, kills himself in the bookstore’s upper room, Lydia’s life comes unglued. Always Joey’s favorite bookseller, Lydia has been bequeathed his meager worldly possessions. Trinkets and books; the detritus of a lonely, uncared for man. But when Lydia flips through his books she finds them defaced in ways both disturbing and inexplicable. They reveal the psyche of a young man on the verge of an emotional reckoning. And they seem to contain a hidden message. What did Joey know? And what does it have to do with Lydia? As Lydia untangles the mystery of Joey’s suicide, she unearths a long buried memory from her own violent childhood. Details from that one bloody night begin to circle back. Her distant father returns to the fold, along with an obsessive local cop, and the Hammerman, a murderer who came into Lydia’s life long ago and, as she soon discovers, never completely left. “Both charming and challenging” (Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review), Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore is a “multi-generational tale of abandonment, desperation, and betrayal…inventive and intricately plotted” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
