Clever, compelling, and climax-filled, ditch the standard #psychologicalthriller tropes with today’s #pubday for THE WIDOW ON DWYER COURT by Lisa Kusel!🏠🥳🔥 ________ Dear Readers, I am thrilled to introduce you to my new novel, where “typical” is anything but. I've always been fascinated by what hides beneath the glossy surfaces of social media and the facades we show the world. In THE WIDOW ON DWYER COURT you’ll meet Kate, a seemingly “typical” suburban soccer mom. But behind closed doors, Kate leads a double life as a successful romance novelist, drawing inspiration from—wait for it—her husband's affairs. Yup. Don’t ask me how I came up with this plot because if I told you, a few people from my past would put a contract out on me. Anyway, back to the book: What excites me most about this story is the complex friendship at its heart. When Annie, an uber cool widow, moves to town, Kate thinks she’s finally found someone she can share her alt-life with. But maybe she should have thought twice about it. I mean, even though I made sure their friendship passes the Bechdel Test, ultimately it always comes down to men, doesn’t it? Or does it? I hope you have as much fun reading THE WIDOW ON DWYER COURT as I did writing it. love, Lisa xx 📕Start reading: https://lnkd.in/eZGDR4QR . . . #TheWidowOnDwyerCourt #LisaKusel #domesticthriller #suspensethriller #thrillerbooks #thrillerreaders #bookcommunity #readingcommunity #newbooks #2024books #bookwithinabook #BlackstoneBooks #BlackstonePublishing #BlackstoneAudio #2024books #newbookalert #publicationday #pubdaytuesday #thrillerbookstagram #crimethriller #thrillerbooks #suspensethriller

About us
Publishing great books by talented writers and forging connections with readers for the long-term. In 1987, in a small garage in Southern Oregon, Blackstone was born. Founded by Craig and Michelle Black, the early days consisted of a small handful of family members and employees working out of their home, building the business one cassette tape at a time. With a fresh perspective on the reading experience, Craig and Michelle, along with their trusted team, found new and innovative methods to not only produce and distribute audiobooks, but also pioneered creative ways to collaborate with publishers, booksellers, and the audiobook listening community. 2017 marked Blackstone’s 30th anniversary, and the company continues to grow, innovate, and further the ascendancy of the overall audiobook business. To date, we've produced over 12,000 audiobooks, releasing 100+ new titles each month. Our new print publishing venture is built upon this foundation. Our goal is to publish groundbreaking books (fiction and nonfiction) by talented writers, and to forge long- term connections with readers, booksellers, librarians, and the overall publishing community. We’re thrilled to be working with bestselling authors like P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast, Shelley Shepard Gray, Cory Doctorow and more to publish print books, e-books, and audiobooks, furthering our commitment to bringing quality, entertaining stories to as many people as possible, in the most creative and innovative ways imaginable.

Looking for a top-of-the-vine release in saucy friendship fiction? Our next #pubday announcement hits perfectly on the palate!🍷🤩Award-winning screenwriter, author, and oenophile extraordinaire Rex Pickett presents SIDEWAYS OREGON, the follow-up novel to the blockbuster #Sideways!🍷🤩 _____ Dear Readers, SIDEWAYS OREGON is a 4,000 mile road novel, and quite the emotional journey. But so, too, has been the journey of the novel to publication with Blackstone. It began as a much-beloved screenplay titled "The Road Back" I wrote in the mid-nineties about my mother and the devastating stroke she suffered. It was optioned four times by film companies, but never made. After Sideways the movie, based on my novel of the same title, was released in '04, I was urged by my then publishing agents to novelize The Road Back. I was hesitant, but I signed a contract with a major publisher to do so. It didn't work as a novel and I abandoned the project. But when I had the epiphany to make the main character my Sideways alter ego Miles (Paul Giamatti in the now cult Alexander Payne movie), the idea took on a whole new dimension and artistic urgency. So, for me, the publication of Sideways Oregon is major redemption. It really takes the Sideways zeitgeist and casts it in a new light. Sure, there's wine, and there's Miles's friend Jack and his antics, but there's also Miles's wheelchair-bound mother, her pot-smoking Filipina caregiver and mom's Yorkie terrier Snapper. How they all end up on the road in a handicapped-equipped rampvan, well, you'll just have to read it to find out. Though fiction, it is one of the most personal, autobiographical, books I've ever written. — Rex 🍇Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gFTEiWND . . #SIDEWAYSOREGON #SidewaysNewZealand #sidewayschile #sidewaysmovie #RexPickett #oenophile #buddycomedy #fictionbooks #adventurebooks #bookseriesilove #Sideways #oregonwine #winecountry #readbeforeyouwatch #winetasting #winedrinkers #wineenthusiasts #bookseries #BlackstoneBooks #BlackstonePublishing #BlackstoneAudio #2024books #newbookalert #publicationday #pubdaytuesday

Today’s #BlackstoneShowcase offers a searing drama about two men on a quest for justice—from opposite sides of the law. From S.E Redfearn / @suzanneredfearn (internationally bestselling author of #InAnInstant and #HadleyAndGrace) comes TWO GOOD MEN (Pub: October 8th, 2024)!🔥🤩🔥🤩 Dick Raynes feared this day would come. Otis Parsons, a violent pedophile, has been released from prison, and Dick’s sister, Dee, is the one who helped put him behind bars. Dick’s marriage is over, and his career is in shambles, so with nothing to lose, he sets out to do whatever it takes to keep Dee and her son, Jesse, safe. But Otis is just the beginning. Dick quickly discovers the dark truth about repeat sex offenders and finds himself unable to turn away. Using his knowledge as a scientist to develop a formula able to predict those most likely strike again, he sets out to protect future victims the law is powerless to defend. FBI agent Steve Patterson investigates crimes against sex offenders, running a department he created after his son was killed by a vigilante mother who targeted the wrong person. Recognizing a disturbing pattern of untimely deaths in recently released felons, he sets out to figure out who’s behind it. What he doesn’t expect to find is another chance at love—with the sister of the man he is chasing. Dick’s strong sense of right and wrong is tested as he pursues and neutralizes the most dangerous threats, while Steve makes it his mission to stop this vigilante serial killer before he is labeled a hero. Both men’s pursuits are noble, but only one can prevail. 📕Preorder #TWOGOODMEN: https://lnkd.in/gPva8ViZ . . . #seredfearn #suzanneredfearn #tbr2024 #thrillerbooks #thrillerbookstagram #scifithrillerbooks #bookstagram #BlackstoneBooks #BlackstonePublishing #BlackstoneAudio #BlackstoneBookReveal #CoverReveal #bookcoverdesign #bookcoverreveal #crimethriller #murdermystery #newbooks #2024books #readingthrillers #twogoodmenbook

Blending the epic scope and character-driven spark of #StarTrek with the intrigue of John le Carré’s Smiley novels today’s #BlackstoneShowcase presents the sweeping sci-fi spy thriller DARK SPACE by bestselling and acclaimed authors Rob Hart and Alex Segura (Pub: October 8th, 2024)!🚀👾🛸 If life were fair, ace pilot Jose Carriles should have ended up a desk jockey like his former friend Corin Timony, back on the lunar colony of New Destiny. Instead, he’s the pilot of the Mosaic—a massive ship taking the Interstellar Union’s first-ever mission to outside our solar system. Timony should have been the best spy at the Bazaar, the lunar colony’s international intelligence arm. Instead, she’s been demoted to admin duties like monitoring long-range communications. She has no one to blame but herself—and maybe Carriles. But when the Mosaic experiences a series of strange malfunctions and Carriles is forced to take a wild gamble to save the ship, he begins to suspect the reasons behind the exploratory mission weren’t exactly on the up-and-up. At the same time, Timony’s old instincts kick in as she realizes the distress call she received from the Mosaic has been wiped without a trace. As people start to end up dead and loyalties are tested, Timony and Carriles find themselves entangled in a star-spanning conspiracy that drags them through the darkest corners of their government—and their own personal failures—and face-to-face with a reckoning that could destroy humanity as we know it. Strap up, and join the interstellar adventure.
