An 800-year old secret threatens the peace of a tiny village in North Wales. Not only does it put at odds two lonely people who seem made for each other, but it draws the attention of the entire world to a scandal that's just too delicious to ignore. Bestselling authors Josh Langston and BJ Galler-Smith bring their considerable talents to bear in this madcap romantic romp. This lighthearted contemporary romance tells the story of a high-powered ad man who, in order to save his job, must devise a tourism campaign based on the patron saint of a tiny village in Wales. In the process, he falls in love with the only woman who can prove the saint was a fraud. The supporting cast of eccentric characters provides a non-stop feast of fantasy, fun and foolishness as competing interests drive everyone to extremes. This charming mixture of ancient history, small town values and big city schemes will keep you both intrigued and smiling from beginning to end.

When Lenny Gianella inherits his Aunt Edna's estate, it comes with some surprises: the key to a safe deposit box at an unidentified bank, a batch of aging snapshots that may hold clues, and a huge white dog named Ebenezer. Uncomfortable around the dog, Lenny gives him to a shelter, only to learn that Ebenezer is the only one who knows which bank Edna chose to use. Combining mystery, romance, forgotten secrets, and a bit of comedy, you'll have to keep reading to learn what is hiding behind the veils. And by the way, what you see is real.

Scoundrels? In charge? Sadly, yes. And we all know at least some of the voters who put them there. This little book offers a well-deserved break from the politics and politically-related nonsense we've suffered of late.

Instead, they offer a glimpse at a few fictional scoundrels and some of the folk who either benefit or suffer from them. Look closely, you might just find someone very much like yourself in here. Also includes the first chapter of Josh Langston's stunning new historical thriller, "Treason, Treason!"

Greeley, Texas--a frontier town with a bad attitude and a reputation to match. Who lived in such a wicked place? Several compelling answers spring to life in this story collection spanning more than a century of life, love and lust in the west Texas dust. Greeley plays host to seven generational tales, each focusing on a special time, not just for this hardscrabble frontier town, but for the entire country. The timeline stretches from the Civil War to the aftermath of Vietnam. Sin, it seems, never goes out of style. Some characters come and go; others appear in multiple stories, and some of the most memorable aren't even human. GREELEY takes readers on a tour they'll enjoy from beginning to end, and leave them hungry for more. GREELEY also includes the first chapter of Josh Langston's Fascinating new novel, OH, BITS! a paranormal mystery thriller set in Atlanta, Georgia, during WWII.

A textbook for memoir writers shouldn't be as hard to read as it is hard to write the memoir. The Naked Truth! provides invaluable advice, and does so in a humorous way.

As a bonus, the collection includes the first chapter from "A Little Primitive," the Book One in Josh Langston's contemporary fantasy series about a two-foot tall Indian dealing with a world of giants.
