The Beautiful Lady was a Palace Eunuch by Beverley Jackson: “Ultimately the eunuch Li, now beautiful Lily moves to a penthouse in Shanghai, a city at the height of its glamour in the late 1920’s and early 1930’s. Relive that fabulous time with beautiful Lily as she is known to all Shanghai, but a nameless ghost when Li strikes at night on another necessary murderous adventure.” (June 2011)

Clan by Harry Shannon: “They have been among us for thousands of years. One mysterious gene they carry lies dormant—until they change. Joe Case is an ex-cop searching for the man who humiliated his sister. Kelly McCammon is a Hollywood executive running from the Russian mob. Destiny leads them to tiny Salt Lick, Nevada…A town under siege.” (August 2011)

White Water by Michael Bandy & Eric Stein with illustrations by Shadra Strickland: “It’s a scorching hot day, and going into town with Grandma is one of Michael’s favorite things. When the bus pulls up, they climb in and pay their fare, get out, walk to the back door, and climb in again. By the time they arrive in town, Michael’s throat is as dry as a bone, so he runs to the water fountain. But after a few sips, the warm, rusty water tastes bad. Why is the kid at the “Whites Only” fountain still drinking? Is his water clear and refreshingly cool? No matter how much trouble Michael might get into, he’s determined to find out for himself.” (August 2011)
