The Superlative Horse and The Last of The Lupins: Nine Stories
When a woman's daughter waits for what will not come, the balance of a woman's life is subtly upset by memories of what she left behind; a company picnic is interrupted by a fire happening in the distance, the fire's smoke accumulating and muddling a drunk salary worker's thoughts on the perfect partner; somewhere in between fiction and reality, a writer finds himself caught in a search for his ex-girlfriend's sister and his own love affair with reading and writing... Tuazon makes an assault on ordinary life and storytelling, weaving together rich fiction from strings of seemingly unconnected characters, things, and events. Heralding his predecessors, J.D. Salinger, Raymond Carver, and Haruki Murakami, Tuazon's prose is meticulous and thoughtful with diction that is colloquial and real, rewarding readers with accessible complexity and catharsis. Each story he writes is meant to excite thought, uncover the surreal in the everyday and the extraordinary in the ordinary.

The Attempted Murder of Teddy Roosevelt
The Attempted Murder of Teddy Roosevelt is a historical thriller from award-winning political journalist Burt Solomon, featuring Teddy Roosevelt's near death...accident or assassination attempt? Theodore Roosevelt had been president for less than a year when on a tour in New England his horse-drawn carriage was broadsided by an electric trolley. TR was thrown clear but his Secret Service bodyguard was killed instantly. The trolley’s motorman pleaded guilty to manslaughter and the matter was quietly put to rest. But was it an accident or an assassination attempt...and would there be another “accident” soon? The Attempted Murder of Teddy Roosevelt casts this event in a darker light. John Hay, the Secretary of State, finds himself in pursuit of a would-be assassin, investigating the motives of TR’s many enemies, including political rivals and the industrial trusts. He crosses paths with luminaries of the day, such as best-pal Henry Adams, Emma Goldman, J.P. Morgan, Mark Hanna, and (as an investigatory sidekick) the infamous Nellie Bly, who will help Hay protect the man who wants to transform a nation.
