All the News That Fits...
THE TIDE IS HIGH
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, Adrien English returns in The Dark Tide, his fifth and final adventure, and this time it's all on the line, as the dark secrets of the past reach out, threatening everything he holds dear. Will the plucky bookseller be able to rise above the tsunami of the past that's heading his way or will he be swept away? What about the corpse that's been discovered in his building? And what about his on-again, off-again relationship with a certain hunky ex-cop? And what's the deal with all these exes that keep popping up? And then there's that corpse that's been discovered in his building...
As a special treat, Josh has created a special iTunes iMix playlist of the music that inspired (or kept him going) while writing The Dark Tide. You can go to iTunes and check it out, and even buy it if you want. You can also download a special CD Jewel Box insert here.

Editor Drewey Wayne Gunn roughly pins down the "Golden age" as the period between the first Kinsey Report and the first collection of Tales of the City. Nineteen authors -- writers, scholars, collectors and publishers -- give due to both the touchstone novels from the period as well as highlighting works of fiction that have been left unjustly to gather dust on literary shelves. Includes 200 illustrations.
