Slim pickin's again this week, but at least it's better than last week's few-and-far-between holiday schedule...
FICTION:
High Noon by Nora Roberts
Nora Roberts is the number one New York Times-bestselling author of more than 150 novels, with more than 280 million copies of her books in print. The romantic suspense of High Noon kicks off when Lt. Phoebe MacNamara, the chief hostage negotiator for the Savannah, Georgia PD, meets Duncan Swift, a sports bar owner, as they both try to prevent a suicidal bartender Duncan fired from high-diving off a roof on St. Patrick's Day. Of course, complications ensue at work and with family and relationships. But danger really kicks into overdrive when MacNamara’s grabbed by a man who throws a hood over her head and brutally assaults her in her own precinct house. Then threatening messages show up on her doorstep, along with further potential thrills of the page turning variety.
Killer Weekend by Ridley Pearson
Pearson, whose smartly plotted thrillers have helped him become the first American recipient of the Raymond Chandler/Fulbright Fellowship in detective fiction at Oxford University, presents this first entry in a new series. Set against the beautiful backdrop of Sun Valley, Idaho, Killer Weekend concerns the compelling actions and responsibilities of county sheriff Walt Fleming as he deals with rising tensions and death threats received by New York State Attorney General Elizabeth Shaler after she has come to the resort town to speak at a conference of powerful business tycoons, and to announce her presidential candidacy.

The pre-orders on Hicks's bio have been amazing.
A lot of groups are giving the proceeds to his favorite charities at his request.
The book will be welcome by anyone who's ever seen Taylor Hicks live in concert...truly his forte...where he levitates buildings with his boundless energy & contageous enthusiasm; coupled with a Whomp-Swamp music style you cannot stand still & listen to.

Taylor Hicks has once again succeeded at amazing me. First it was his music and infectious personality. Now, it is his ability to continue to tap into his emotions and what has made him the man he is today. Heart Full of Soul is a must read. It is truly and uplifting story about beating the odds.
