Award-winning actor and director Dinah Manoff offers an honest, fictional glimpse behind the red carpet in her new novel about a Hollywood star, the remarkable journey that got her there, and her walk-in closet full of tabloid-worthy secrets. Best known for her roles in Grease and Empty Nest, Dinah Manoff has used her own experiences to craft an engrossing page-turner both exciting and wise, posing the ultimate starry-eyed question: Does fame really matter in the end?

Katie Mason, a wounded artist, is a creator who’s forgotten how to create… and how to love. After moving to Alaska to make art and heal her broken heart, she finds herself face to face with a dark-eyed stranger. His stories fuel her imagination and her passions, but his secrets may do something far more transformative. This winter holiday tale brings together an ancient Inuit legend and a haunting romance.

Romance

A Lot Like Adiós by Alexis Daria

avialable now, paperback, Avon Books

Who never reads romance? Me. Who turns her nose up at the genre as a whole? Yours Truly. Reading this book and its predecessor, You Had Me at Hola, reminded this bookseller that reading for entertainment has value and that life lessons and inspiration can be found in unlikely places, even in the pages of a steamy romance! –Claire

"One Simple Thing is fit to burst with grit, atmosphere, pathos and suspense. With his expertly paced second novel, Mr. Read invites comparisons to the crime masters of the mid-20th century--guys like Chandler, and Thompson, and Willeford." –Jonathan Evison

The Liar's Dictionary by Eley Williams

available in November, paperback ,Anchor

An award-winning novel that chronicles the charming misadventures of a lovelorn Victorian lexicographer and the young woman put on his trail a century later to root out his misdeeds while confronting questions of her own sexuality and place in the world. “You wouldn’t expect a comic novel about a dictionary to be a thriller too, but this one is. In fact, [it] is also a mystery, love story (two of them) and cliffhanging melodrama.” —The New York Times Book Review
