Getting On (and Off) My High Horse

Last Saturday, as planned, I went on a pack horse ride in Beaver Creek, Colorado, with my friend, Heidi. In the photos above, she is the one who looks the part! I swung into the saddle and took stock of the space between the ground and me, and I gulped a bit. Then I was reminded that these horses are trained to follow one another like lemmings on the ride up the mountain.

All was going well until a gap grew between us (the horse and me were now an us) and the horse just ahead. Suddenly my horse dashed ahead like it was the end of the Kentucky Derby. At least that was my interpretation. Heidi said he was trotting. Okay, let’s compromise and say it was fast trotting. All I know is that it took a bit for our ups and downs to get coordinated.

The ride took us a good way up the mountain before we started back down, and the views were stunning. While I enjoyed it and would do it again, I am 100% sure that I never will be an extra on “Yellowstone”!

On Monday, Lisa Wingate met up with me in Golden, Colorado. We plunked ourselves down in a coffee shop in Morrison and spent a couple of hours catching up on books and life while my husband had a business meeting. She was driving a teal-colored Jeep. Seriously, how special is it when an author brings along a car in my color scheme!

As you know, I loved Lisa’s latest book, SHELTERWOOD. And when we had William Kent Krueger on as a “Bookaccino Live” Book Group guest, he gave it a thumbs up as well. As Lisa lives part of the year in Colorado, at some point I hope she noodles a plot set there. That state holds a special place in my heart.

My latest “Bookreporter Talks To” interview is with T.J. Newman. Her third thriller, WORST CASE SCENARIO, was our last Summer Reading prize book this week and will be a Bookreporter.com Bets On pick just as her first two books, FALLING and DROWNING, were. When a pilot suffers a heart attack at 35,000 feet, a commercial airliner filled with passengers crashes into a nuclear power plant in the small town of Waketa, Minnesota, which becomes ground zero for a catastrophic national crisis with global implications.

T.J. shares how she came up with the idea for this book and the research that was required (including a detail that I saw to be totally plausible). She discusses her character development and why she feels that Joe Morton is the perfect narrator for the audiobook. We also hear about T.J.’s close relationship with her agent and how they work together. Click here to watch the video or here to listen to the podcast.

We have our review of WORST CASE SCENARIO from Ray Palen, who has this to say: “I am so impressed by the extensive research that Newman did to depict the inner workings of a nuclear power plant so effectively…. T.J. Newman has truly elevated WORST CASE SCENARIO to the level of disaster movie peril. Of course I will not outline the resolution here. Just know that it is a real nail-biter that goes far beyond your typical story involving a plane crash.” Don’t miss my Bets On commentary in next week’s newsletter.

We hosted this month’s “Bookaccino Live” book preview event on Wednesday afternoon. I talked about 24 books releasing between now and September 3rd, plus 16 from October, that we wanted to get on your radar. You can watch the presentation here and see a list of the featured titles here.

Next month's “Bookaccino Live” book preview event will take place on Wednesday, September 11th at 2pm ET. The focus will be on titles releasing between September 10th and October 1st, in addition to a few from November, that we think will appeal to you. Click here to sign up. Those attending the live event will be asked to answer a survey about the books from the presentation that they are most interested in reading and will be eligible to win a prize.

Our latest New Release Spotlight title is SPIRIT CROSSING, the 20th entry in William Kent Krueger’s Cork O’Connor mystery series, which releases on Tuesday, August 20th.

As a huge manhunt is launched to find the teenage daughter of a local politician who has gone missing, Cork’s grandson stumbles across the shallow grave of a young Ojibwe woman. As Cork and the tribal officers dig into the circumstances of this mysterious and grim discovery, they uncover a connection to the missing teen --- and it soon becomes clear that Cork’s grandson could be the killer’s next victim.

WORST CASE SCENARIO by T.J. Newman (Thriller)
Audiobook available, read by Joe Morton
When a pilot suffers a heart attack at 35,000 feet, a commercial airliner filled with passengers crashes into a nuclear power plant in the small town of Waketa, Minnesota, which becomes ground zero for a catastrophic national crisis with global implications. The International Nuclear Event Scale tracks nuclear disasters. It has seven levels. Level 7 is a Major Accident, with only two on record: Fukushima and Chernobyl. There has never been a Level 8. Until now. In WORST CASE SCENARIO, ordinary people --- power plant employees, firefighters, teachers, families, neighbors and friends --- are thrust into an extraordinary situation as they face the ultimate test of their lives. It will take the combined courage, ingenuity and determination of a brave few to save not only their community and loved ones, but the fate of humanity at large. Reviewed by Ray Palen.

Featured Review: HOUSE OF GLASS by Sarah Pekkanen
August’s Top LibraryReads Pick

HOUSE OF GLASS by Sarah Pekkanen (Domestic Thriller)
Audiobook available, read by Laura Benanti
Rose Barclay is a nine-year-old girl who witnessed the possible murder of her nanny --- in the midst of her parents' bitter divorce --- and immediately stopped speaking. Stella Hudson is a best interest attorney, appointed to serve as counsel for children in custody cases. From the moment Stella passes through the iron security gate and steps into the gilded, historic DC home of the Barclays, she realizes the case is even more twisted, and the Barclay family far more troubled, than she feared. And there's something eerie about the house itself: It's a plastic house, with not a single bit of glass to be found. As Stella comes closer to uncovering the secrets the Barclays are desperate to hide, danger wraps around her like a shroud, and her past and present are set on a collision course in ways she never expected.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? by Shari Lapena
and BOSS LADY by Alli Frank and Asha Youmans

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? by Shari Lapena (Domestic Thriller)
I am not sure how she does it, but all of Shari Lapena’s books are absolute page-turners. This time I tried to slow myself down to see if I could analyze her method, but once again her propulsive storytelling did not allow this.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? opens in Fairhill, Vermont, where everything is beautiful and bucolic. One morning, a local farmer finds in his field the body of a young woman that is being feasted upon by vultures. For the record, the description of the vultures was enough to get the hair on my arms standing up. Soon the victim is identified as Diana Brewer, a local high school senior, and the chatter starts up about how she got there and who wanted her killed.

BOSS LADY by Alli Frank and Asha Youmans (Fiction)
A few years ago, I met Alli Frank and Asha Youmans at a library event, and I immediately became a fan of their work. BOSS LADY, their fourth book, does not disappoint. Their stories are true to life but also laced with lots of humor.

Antonia "Toni" Arroyo is Black and Puerto Rican. She is working at the San Francisco Airport where she assists passengers getting to and from their gates. Among her regulars is Sylvia Eisenberg, a widow who travels between San Francisco and Arizona. Sylvia enjoys hearing all about Toni’s plans --- and is continually cheering her on. Toni appreciates the older woman’s zest for life, as well as the love she has for her family.

London: 1968. Liz Houghton is languishing as an obituary writer at a London newspaper when a young girl’s disappearance captivates the city.

Liz follows Marisa to Dorset, where they make another disturbing discovery. Over two decades earlier, three girls disappeared while evacuating from London. One was found murdered in the woods near a train line. The other two were never seen again. As Liz digs deeper, she finds herself drawn to the village of Tydeham, which was requisitioned by the military during the war and left in ruins.

But soon, Mr. Parsons discovers that his entire life savings is gone. A run-of-the-mill scam? Bernie isn’t so sure that the case is that simple, but it's Chet who senses what they're really up against. Only Billy knows the truth, but he's disappeared. Can Chet and Bernie track him down before it's too late? Someone else is also in the hunt, an enemy with a mysterious, cutting-edge power who will test Chet and Bernie to their limit --- or maybe beyond. Even poker, not the kind of game they're good at, plays a role. Reviewed by Pamela Kramer.

DEAR HANNA by Zoje Stage (Psychological Thriller)

As a young child, Hanna tried to murder her own mother. But that was more than 16 years ago.

Married to real estate agent Jacob, she’s also stepmother to his teenage daughter, Joelle. They live in a beautiful home, and Hanna loves her career as a phlebotomist --- a job perfectly suited to her occasional need to hurt people. But when Joelle begins to change in ways that don’t suit Hanna’s purposes, her carefully planned existence threatens to come apart. With life slipping out of her control, Hanna reverts to old habits, determined to manipulate the events and people around her. And the only thing worse than a baby sociopath is a fully grown one.

When Emma uncovers more about her mother's past, she is vaulted to new heights as a performer.

Mei does her best to mind her own business, but her knack for discretion soon leads her on a life-changing trip with a new client. Henry piques Mei’s interest. Toting an enormous black suitcase with him everywhere he goes, he’s more concerned with taking frequent breaks than making good time on the road.

What Henry reveals rocks her to her core and shifts this once casual, transactional road trip to one of moral stakes and dangerous consequences. Reviewed by Norah Piehl.
