The Real by James Cole has received an average user rating of 4 out of 5 stars based on 88 customer reviews.
Category: Horror
Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:
Who wouldn’t want to become cognizant of secret realms?
When seven hippies burned to death 39 years ago in a tragic fire, a ghost story was spawned. The legend, passed down by students at the local University, centers on Claire Wales, a.k.a. the Hippie Queen. Graduate student Jeremy Spires thinks nothing of the tale until he stops on a deserted road to help a stranded motorist, Grady, who retells the ghost story as if it and the Hippie Queen are real. Despite Grady’s warnings to stay away, Jeremy and his devoted girlfriend, Jinni Malone, plan a camping trip to the very place – Reefers Woods – where the hippies died. After a near-death experience, an ultra-vivid dream and bizarre visions of children roaming about, Jeremy wonders if there could be some extraordinary power manifested in Reefers Woods. Can Jeremy, in his role as a cynical scientist, dare to believe in the supernatural? Can he discern what is real and what is not?
Do you know what it is to burn?
No? Neither did Jeremy, at least not before a girl, a beautiful stranger, kissed him unexpectedly in a bar. In the days that followed, and despite his love for Jinni, Jeremy cannot turn his thoughts away from the provocative encounter. When Jeremy gives in to his forbidden desires and seeks out the mysterious Monika, he is thrust into a shadowy subculture of sex, drugs and rock-and-roll, of which he had been completely unaware. It is Monika who asks the question, and subsequently reveals what it is to burn.
I can’t believe she’s dead!
The intrigue and suspense intensifies after a ritualistic murder at the University draws the attention of the nation. After learning that the victim is someone very close to Jeremy and after finding evidence linking him to the crime scene, the police focus on Jeremy as a suspect, forcing him to search for the real killer and to try and make sense of the many unforeseen twists and turns his life takes.
What is THE REAL?
THE REAL may be described as a murder-mystery, an action-adventure and a supernatural thriller, deftly folded into one. The observant among you might see the novel through an allegorical lens or even as an extended fable. Regardless, this book can be experienced on several levels. It is up to you, the reader, to decide how deeply you wish to delve.

Category: Biography
Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:
‘The Bookie’s Runner’ is the gorgeously, hypnotically told tale of Brendan Gisby’s father, Derry, and his dream of the big win on the horses, the one that would relieve his adored family of poverty and redeem him in the eyes of his angry and disappointed wife.
For decades he worked on his system. It had to be foolproof. He could only afford to run it once. He meticulously studied the form for every race ever recorded – the horses, their characteristics, their lineage, their combinations, the race track, the conditions, the outcome – and made his predictions for the next race.
Then, just as he entered hospital for what would prove to be his final illness, he was ready. His system worked; it really couldn’t fail, he was sure of that. His family would be set up for life, he would be a hero, he would fulfil the dreams of every one of his betting friends – to beat the bookies once and for all at their own game, again and again.
From his hospital bed he carefully placed his bets …..
If you only read one more book in your life, bet on this one. It is every bit a winner as Derry McKay was, even if everybody thought he was a certain loser until that moment …..

The Narrow Path by Gail Sattler has received an average user rating of 4 out of 5 stars based on 37 customer reviews.
Category: Romance / Religious Fiction
Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:
The Narrow Path is a story about a couple who must face their differences and learn to work together as they look toward a lifetime of love. Miranda Klassen’s Mennonite church is big and modern and she loves the mixture of faith, action, and activity. But in order to follow her dream she moves across the country to a small town to organize the 75th anniversary celebration of an Old Order Mennonite church. Ted Wiebe has been assigned to assist and guide Miranda, feeling good that his church has chosen another Mennonite. But except for sharing the same basic faith and denomination, their churches have nothing else in common. His church embraces old-style roots, so Ted expects to find someone similar at the airport: a woman who never wears pants, no body piercing (including pierced ears), no makeup, and wearing a head covering as a sign of modesty, someone else who lives in accordance with old-fashioned values. But the woman who acknowledges him is wearing unreasonably high and outlandishly expensive shoes, denim jeans, and makeup, including bright red lipstick. As she gets off the plane she’s fiddling with an iPod and yapping on the cell phone. When Miranda enters Ted’s church and community she feels like she’s been transported back into Little House On The Prairie. Ted is supposed to help Miranda fit in, and Miranda is supposed to help his church reach out into the community. When it’s time to start planning and organizing for the celebration, then the fun really begins.

88 Pianos: A Recumbent Adventure Across America by William Northey has received a perfect 5 out of 5 stars based on 18 customer reviews.
Category: Humor
Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:
A fearlessly twisted and hysterically funny narrative, 88 Pianos: A Recumbent Adventure Across America, is a vivid and often bazaar collection of stories detailing the author’s quest to find and play 88 pianos while crossing America on a recumbent bicycle.
His unconventional musical quest takes him into lands where Hell’s Angels measure virility with volume (The Meter is Rumbling) and where ghosts crawl under the sheets (Haunted Hotel). At one with nature, broken glass, road kill, and the used condoms sharing the shoulders of American’s highways, the author pedals merrily through spectacular granite peaks draped in silken clouds (In Lolo Land), along stunning river valleys and into canyons haloed in gold (Still Gold in Them Thar Hills) — then just as often, battles swarms of insects while struggling up infernal inclines like the stark somewhere/nowhere of Idaho’s Hell’s Canyon (Where in Hell is Hell’s Canyon?). Exhausted and exhilarated, amused and tortured, the author relentlessly pursues his pianos, and in the process, fills chapters with chronicles of extreme sports (Skiers on the Roof) and odd characters (The Postman Always Cheats Twice).
88 Pianos is a three month, 4,300 mile excursion through the trials and anguish of mental and physical isolation (No Thanks for the Memory), tempered with rye humor and the pure joy of bicycle touring. Along with the rigors one might expect — the dehydration, the exhaustion, the merciless elements (Three Strikes and You’re Dead) — the author also encounters some unexpected rigors like hurricanes and inundated trails where dragging the bike through knee deep, snake-infested flood waters become the only path onward (Snakes on a Plain).
What unfolds before the reader is a true story of viewing scenic wonders, layered between fascinating glimpses of everyday Americana, at a pace we rarely see in today’s hectic lives.
