A contemporary western set in the wilds of northern
California, the Last Cowboys of San
Geronimo is tale of rivalry between two brothers that results in murder. A modern Cain and Abel tale with a compelling
plot that interspersed with riveting flashbacks that tracks the tense
antagonistic relationship that results in the elder brother’s death. The novel is well written and transitions smoothly
from the perspectives of the main characters over time.

Valente explores a completely original universe of
superheroes through a series linked stories from the points of view of the
females that have been “refrigerated”—those comic book women that have ever
been killed, brainwashed, driven mad, disabled, or had their powers taken in
order to further the storyline of the male characters in the superhero
genre. The Refrigerator Monologues is an exceptionally well-written work of
fiction examining the lives of six female superheroes and the girlfriends of
superheroes and treated with love, gravity, and humor.

This novel, a best-seller in France, is a brilliantly
written novelization of the first decades of the Christian church reinvented as
a parable for the author’s own life. A
cross between fiction, biography, autobiography and history, The Kingdom follows the group of early
Christians through the early founding. A
skillful storyteller, Carrere re-creates the climate of the New Testament and
meshes his own account with the central tenets of the faith with the lives of
the first Christians.
