|  | | KISS KILL: A Vampire's Tale
Ray Abreu is a gay New Yorker who's looking for Mr. Right. Unfortunately, he's just found Mr. Wrong—Mr. Dead Wrong.
New York writer Ray Abreu could deal with getting fired from his job. He could even accept the fact that after looking longer than he was willing to admit, he still hadn't found Mr. Right. But Ray could not accept being linked to a series of gruesome murders in the Big Apple. Ray knew facts about the murders that only the killer could know—the details they hide from the public in newspaper accounts. Ray had no idea why the killer was using him, or how. It seemed too awfully similar to the horror movies he'd loved as a child. Except this time the horror was closing in on him. There's a handsome | |  | | Lucy A to Z

| |  | | The ABC Movie of the Week Companion: A Loving Tribute to the Classic Series
Movies made for television were in their infancy when ABC came up with a novel idea: a weekly series of films made exclusively for the small screen. The ABC Movie of the Week became a great success and a cultural touchstone for a generation of Americans.In this loving tribute to the classic series of TV films, more than two hundred films in the series are reviewed, including well-remembered titles such as Duel, Tribes, The Six Million Dollar Man, Go Ask Alice, Brian's Song, The Night Stalker, Bad Ronald, Starsky and Hutch, Trilogy of Terror, That Certain Summer, and Killdozer. In addition, choice bits of trivia about the actors and films and exclusive pictures are sprinkled throughout the book.So bit back, relax, and return to a time when the counterculture was in full swing and you could tune in every week for one or more original films made just for you.
When I came up with the idea for this book in early 2004, I knew there would be a few other fans of The ABC Movie of the Week, but I never reckoned on the power of baby boomer nostalgia. With very minor publicity and no marketing, this little book took off on its own and late in 2007 was designated an Editor's Choice selection and an iUniverse best seller: the company then made it a Star title, which meant a redo.
As a result, most of the reviews have been added to or updated. In many cases, I added excerpts from interviews with MOTW stars. There’s another important difference: this | |  | | The Lucy Book of Lists: Celebrating Lucille Ball's Centennial
Best-selling author Michael Karol (Lucy A to Z: The Lucille Ball Encyclopedia) is at it again, with a book of lists honoring Lucy's 100th birthday and the 60th anniversary of I Love Lucy - both of which occur in 2011! Chapter titles include "Headline News," "Lucy by the Numbers," "The Lucy Show Mystery," "Mam'selle Mame," and many more...with an exclusive list by Lucille Ball's and Desi Arnaz's good friend, comedian Kaye Ballard (The Mothers-In-Law). You'll laugh, learn and love this unique peek into the Lucyverse.
As you may or may not be aware, 2011 marks the 100th anniversary of Lucille Ball's birth (August 6) and the 60th anniversary of a little landmark sitcom created by Ball and her husband, Desi Arnaz, I love Lucy (October 15). Even with four books about the life and career of Lucille Ball under my belt, I just couldn't let these important milestones go unheralded. And five seems like a nice number.
So in January 2011, I published The Lucy Book of Lists: Celebrating Lucille Ball's Centennial and the 60th Anniversary of I Love Lucy. The book is much more than simply numbered, one-line list |
