Entertaining Page Turner For The Typical Curmudgeon By Author @KellyCrigger



SYNOPSIS
Discovering who you are is not just for teenagers. Midlife men must also rediscover the world around them while struggling with their own impending mortality and legacy, especially those who change careers and lifestyles.

Middle-aged men like me are under siege, beset on all sides by personal ambition, internal expectations, familial pressure, disillusionment, uncertainty, and legacy. It’s a constant battle to balance the needs of the self and the needs of others and a struggle to discover which ones really take priority. Some win this battle and some tragically lose.

Curmudgeonism is a state of mind, unwavering, unapologetic, and uninterested in what people think. We are the proverbial old dog that can’t be taught new tricks because we know the old tricks are tried and true. We have firm beliefs that can’t be shaken. Free trade is good. True leaders are rare. Happiness is a luxury. Golf is a waste of time and we don’t have enough years left to be unproductive. We don’t apologize for our views because we’ve spent half a lifetime developing them. Theory and idealism sounds good in school but only until it becomes cost prohibitive and the real world determines ground truth. Curmudgeons are uncaring about what people think and have low expectations on the world because it’s done little more than disappoint us. We’re middle aged and tired of looking, acting, feeling the way people want us to, so we’re breaking out and being who we were meant to be; irascible curs who make the world a better place through brutal honesty. We see this as our duty and take it seriously.

Buy the ticket. Take the ride.

SYNOPSIS
Can an ordinary woman make a billionaire bachelor fall in love with her…so she can dump him as soon as he’s hooked? Lara Dixon sets out to make it happen with infamous international playboy Clay Creighton.

Lara embarks on a mission of justice, certain that Creighton’s Fast Lane media empire, with its philosophy of “fast women, fast cars and fast living,” encourages men to stray from happy homes. And by “men,” Lara means her ex, a Fast Lane devotee who turned out to have had not a single shred of respect for women.

Lara finds backers to help her get revenge on the notorious, but decidedly handsome, tycoon. With new fabulous clothes and a glorious makeover, she infiltrates Clay’s inner circle and uses her research about his likes and dislikes to charm him into believing she’s not just another L.A. woman looking to romance a rich guy.

But as she becomes steeped in the Fast Lane culture during a weekend involving an exhilarating ride in a very fast car and passionate moments in Clay’s very exotic Palm Spring resort, “Heat,” Lara discovers nothing is what she expected. Especially Clay. Women’s perceptions of him, it turns out, are based on fiction—the products of a skilled public relations team. Lara’s startled by how well Clay treats her, how much they have in common—and how much she’s falling for him.

So now Lara has a new problem: Can she put the brakes on her plan to destroy Clay and make the turn toward a happily-ever-after instead? This light-hearted romp into today’s jet set includes a cast of wacky assistants, bubbly fashionistas and unexpected enemies—and friends. Palm Springs Heat is a fast, fun read—a contemporary romance with a touch of intrigue and a reminder that nothing, not even a waterfall, is exactly what it seems.

New Release From Author Paul Sanders Details Hammer Killing Trial From Perspective Of Juror 13

BOOK PROMOTIONS INTERNATIONAL FEATURE TITLE

"Brain Damage: A Juror's Tale"
by
Paul Sanders

**5 Star New Release**
Click image to view book on Amazon


SYNOPSIS
On January 14, 2009, at approximately 2:36 AM, Marissa DeVault put a hammer in her husband's head, Dale Harrell, multiple times. Was he the victim of a cruel and heinous act or was this the result of years of domestic violence that eventually took its toll?
 
This incident took place in a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona. It would be five years before this case of capital murder would be put in front of a jury to decide the fate of Marissa DeVault although the fate of Dale Harrell had been set in stone. Was she a cold, calculating murderess or was she the victim of extreme domestic violence and rape at the hands of an abusive husband?
The jury was left to decide. I was Juror 13.
 
The middle class suburbia household had four potential witnesses under the same roof at the time of the assault. Their three children were in the adjacent bedrooms and a fourth witness entered the room at the final swing of the hammer. Did the children hear or see anything? Did the witness who entered the room at the time of the assault have something to hide? Fact: there was a gun located within mere feet of the woman accused at the time of the attack. Why didn't she choose the gun? Why would she choose a hammer to kill?
 
The questions for "we, the jury", were simple. Was the killing premeditated or was this n act of self-defense? Was the killing done for financial gain and was the act cruel and heinous? Should the defendant pay for her crime with her life or should she be incarcerated for life, with or without parole?
 
This is a story of a trial with twists and turns that include a millionaire "Sugar Daddy", a strip club bouncer hired as a hit man, a "Psycho-Killer" hired by the prosecution...and, most importantly, a private and privileged insight of the children of the victim...and the assailant. This is not only a crime story of suspense and intrigue, it is also the story of a juror who unexpectedly finds justice and redemption in his own life as the trial gets to the deeper question of determining the fate of the defendant.
 
In this story, I was a Juror. However, I will remember it as more than that. This story will live within me; it is part of me. I am not just Juror #13. I am a friend to Dale Harrell. I know that I brought, with eleven other jurors, the justice that he deserved.
In the end, you may find that you feel the same way...
