Spitting Image by Harmony Reed


About Featured Book: Spitting Image by Harmony Reed

What if you had a twin – who was a better version of you?

When Everett Reyes loses his adoptive mother – the only person who ever believed in him – his bullying stepbrothers find a way to keep Everett’s inheritance. They won’t even let him keep Mom’s cookware, though she’s the reason he became a chef.

All he has left is a failing cafe, a rattletrap car, and an ex-wife he can’t stop fighting with. Bereft of family, he hires a private investigator to track down his biological parents. He’s not surprised to learn that they’re dead, but he’s shocked to discover that he has a twin brother, alive and well in Austin, Texas. The similarities between Everett and his brother Evan are amazing. They’re both chefs, they both married aspiring musicians, and they’re both fathers – evidence of their deep twin bond. But the more Everett learns more about his brother, the more he feels like he’s looking at the life he should have had – would have had if they hadn’t been separated.

It’s embarrassing how Evan seems to be more successful than Everett in every possible way. His friends tell him to start with a phone call, but Everett decides to drive to Austin and surprise Evan on their shared birthday. After all, what better gift could a man receive than to be reunited with his long-lost twin brother?

Spitting Image is a new novel by Harmony Reed, author of Confidence John and Drink.

THE PROPHET, The Extraordinary Life of Joseph Jeremiah Danielson, The Expanded Storyline Edition by Stan The Man Griffin

He exposed them for the crooks they are. Joseph Jeremiah Danielson becomes known to the nation, and the world, as THE PROPHET. God wrought signs and wonders by his hand, and real miracles that hadn’t been seen since Christ and his Apostles walked the earth. Televangelists were losing money, dying when facing The Prophet, and scared to death. They wanted him out of the way. They’d do anything to get this man out their way. The millions that they were looting from Christians were drying up. There was too much at stake. So these crooked televangelists decided to take matters into their own hands. What a mistake that was. The Prophet is the book that Televangelists don’t want you to read. The Prophet is the book that exposes them as crooks, money-hungry charlatans. They prey on your gullibility and your sincere desire to see God move in your life, only to get you to send them money so they can buy mansions and expensive Jets. And they brag about how well they’re living to get you to give more, believing you’ll get what they’ve got. Then, behind closed doors, they call you suckers as they live high on the hog. THE PROPHET, The Extraordinary Life of Joseph Jeremiah Danielson, The Expanded Storyline Edition.

Empires of Bronze: The Dark Earth (Empires of Bronze #6)

About Empires of Bronze: The Dark Earth (Empires of Bronze #6)

1237 BC: It is an age of panic. The great empires are in disarray – ravaged by endless drought, shaken by ferocious earthquakes and starved of precious tin. Some say the Gods have abandoned mankind.
When Tudha ascends the Hittite throne, the burden of stabilising the realm falls upon his shoulders. Despite his valiant endeavours, things continue to disintegrate; allies become foes, lethal plots arise, and enemy battle horns echo across Hittite lands.

Yet this is nothing compared to the colossal, insidious shadow emerging from the west. Crawling unseen towards Tudha’s collapsing Hittite world comes a force unlike any ever witnessed; an immeasurable swarm of outlanders, driven by the cruel whip of nature, spreading fire and destruction: the Sea Peoples.

Every age must end. The measure of a man is how he chooses to face it.
