A relationship with a mysterious pop star turns a girl’s life upside down in “a great novel about first love . . . a very touching book” (Fresh Fiction). These are the things that I’ve always wanted: To get the top grades in my class. To make my grandmother proud. And most of all, proof that I could succeed where the rest of my family had not: a Stanford acceptance letter, early admission. My mother and my sister were obsessed with boys and love and sex. So obsessed that they lost sight of their futures, of what they wanted. And in the end, they lost everything. I’ll never let a boy distract me. I promised myself that. But that was before Tate. Before the biggest pop star on the planet took an interest in me. Before private planes and secret dates and lyrics meant for me alone. There’s so much I don’t know. Like why he left music. Where he goes when we’re not together. What dark past he’s hiding. But when we kiss, the future feels far away. And now . . . I’m not sure what I want. “Fun and enjoyable to read . . . Fans of musicians and YA contemporary romance will devour it like I did.” —Buried in a Bookshelf

In the winter of 1880 Edouard Manet, then 49, was dying. In the last months of his life he funnelled his waning energy into a series of remarkable still lifes - 16 small paintings of flowers - which are brought together in this book. An essay by Andrew Forge pays tribute to the artist's struggle and his legacy, and Robert Gordon's selections from Manet's letters add poignancy to this last glow of a brilliant artistic flame.

"I can't believe they found my secret place." As he drove along the highway, a voice in his head began to speak; "let's kill again Kelvin...let's have some fun on the way to Tampa!" He looked in the rearview mirror at a set of bloodshot eyes looking back at him. "If I'm going to go down, I'm going to go down swinging," he said. His mind raced as he wondered if he'd make it to Tampa to see Candy again. The voice began to speak to him again; "we must plant as we journey south Kelvin...pick some new flowers Kelvin...pick some new flowers for our ROADSIDE GARDENS!" When he looked at his eyes in the rearview mirror this time, they were as black as coal. Kelvin Kettle knew what he had to do; find some new flowers and plant them in his roadside gardens! The Garden's Last Flowers is Book 2 of the Montclair Murders. Author M. Everett Baylor is an Iraq War Veteran with a background in law. He lives in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
