Book Description
This “brutal and unflinching” novel of fleeting love in Sin City inspired the film starring Nicholas Cage and Elizabeth Shue (Jay McInerney, author of Bright Lights, Big City). John O’Brien’s debut novel, Leaving Las Vegas, is an emotionally wrenching story of a woman who embraces life and a man who rejects it; a powerful tale of hard luck, hard drinking, and a relationship of tenderness and destruction. An avowed alcoholic, Ben drinks away his family, friends, and, finally, his job. With deliberate resolve, he burns the remnants of his life and heads for Las Vegas to end it all in the last great binge of his hopeless life. On the Strip, he picks up Sera, a prostitute, in what might have become another excess in his self-destructive jag. Instead, their chance meeting becomes a respite on the road to oblivion as they form a bond that is as mysterious as it is immutable.

Book Description
"A gripping fictional account of one of the nation's worst tragedies, 'Who Trespass Against Us' offers an emotional account of a killer's lineage and upbringing, with a surprising ending that will offer solace and comfort to all." Connie Swenson, Editor D.P. Conway uses fast-paced storytelling to bring you the untold story of the life and judgment of the Las Vegas shooter. A work of fiction based on actual events, Conway takes what is known, and imagines what is missing to write a compelling narrative that offers hope and gives answer to the question "Why?" The story begins with the dark connection to the killer's ancestry and moves quickly into the criminal life of his father, Bingo Bruce, and his "Bonnie and Clyde" style mistress, both of whom cast long shadows over the killer's life. Conway keeps you on the edge of your seat as Paddock's heinous crime races to its conclusion in a way you may not have anticipated. After the shooting, you will witness the judgment, where he will face his victims and receive his sentence. But the story does not end there. In parallel fashion, you will also read the inspiring account of a young woman and her best friend, both country music fans, who journey through life and face that dark night together. The darkness of the shooter's deed eventually gives way to their story, a story of hope and redemption.
