A New York Times Notable Book: A woman’s suicide leads a man to a Nevada mining town—and a nest of poisonous secrets—in this “top-notch thriller” (Publishers Weekly). There is something about the sad woman eating alone night after night at the Harmony Café that intrigues San Francisco CPA Jim Messenger. Unfulfilled himself, Jim feels a kinship with her—and later, when she commits suicide, he resolves to find out why. His search leads him to Beulah, a middle-of-nowhere mining town in the Nevada desert, where hatreds run deep, where secrets are as venomous as a rattlesnake bite, and where a stranger asking too many questions might inexplicably disappear. Still, in this dusty, barren landscape, Jim feels completely alive. And he’s not going anywhere until he uncovers the truth, even if it rips the whole town apart. Richly atmospheric and peopled with achingly human characters, Blue Lonesome is a crime novel as tense and coiled as a rattler ready to strike and as dark and hypnotic as the lonesome desert night.

Professional bull rider, Cash Rodriquez has loved Lauren since high school, but she’s always been out of his reach and out of his league—something a drunken mistake can never change.

This is a book of poetry, with the words I wish I could have said to HER but unfortunately was not able to. To my ex broken hearts. These words are for you.

Her name was Vera Mae, and she had been around these dusty tank towns too long—working the two-bit rodeos and cozying up to suckers, like this fat tourist in the bar. Oh God, she thought, I can con him and ditch him by nine-thirty, but what then? Sit in a hotel room. Get drunk and pass out. I'll be an old bag before I'm thirty. That was Vera Mae: fed up and ripe for trouble, when a lean ex-bronc rider named Lonnie drifted in from the desert...

Profoundlessly Simple (PB): A Poetic Compilation of Verse by K.E. Long Profoundlessly Simple: A Poetic Compilation of Verse, is K. E. Long’s first collection of poetry. His poetry and prose are far from traditional. They are the heartfelt adaptation of words and perspectives accumulated and experienced over the years; some words of happiness, some words of sadness, some words of love, and some words of love lost. He even included some words of silliness, corniness, and levity. (2017, Paperback, 148 pages)
