Book Description
Keke McCoy, a.k.a Brandy, an overworked and underpaid journalist, is given the opportunity to write the story of a lifetime. Unfortunately, the story hits close to home and she is forced to deal with demons she thought were buried ten years--and forty pounds--ago when she left her former life as one of Atlanta's premier exotic dancers. Monaka, the dancer who took Keke's place at The Honey Spot--a female owned strip club outside of Atlanta, Georgia--is brutally murdered while giving a private dance. Keke has to face the feelings of betrayal her dance sisters and former benefactor, HoneyMama, felt when she wrote the article that allowed her to change professions, and unfortunately also gave both stripping and The Spot, as it is affectionately called, more bad press than good. Her boss, Charlie, pressures Keke to "dig deeper" and choose between her loyalty to The Spot and her desire to pen an award-winning article that could make or break her career as a writer. She also speaks candidly about her unpredictable sex life with her lover, Ian, who is never around when she needs him, and her attempt to stay strong and not give into the advances of her ex-boyfriend, Drew, a detective assigned to the case. With her best friend, Shelley, Keke discusses self-esteem issues, her choices in men, and her desire to find her "spot" again. The Honey Spot is a sensually mysterious read that keeps the reader guessing in more ways than one. In the end, all of the characters finally get the justice that they deserve.

Book Description
At the heart of every bee hive is a queen bee. Since her well-being is linked to the well-being of the entire colony, the ability to find her among the residents of the hive is an essential beekeeping skill. In QueenSpotting, experienced beekeeper and professional “swarm catcher” Hilary Kearney challenges readers to “spot the queen” with 48 fold-out visual puzzles — vivid up-close photos of the queen hidden among her many subjects. QueenSpotting celebrates the unique, fascinating life of the queen bee chronicles of royal hive happenings such as The Virgin Death Match, The Nuptual Flight — when the queen mates with a cloud of male drones high in the air — and the dramatic Exodus of the Swarm from the hive. Readers will thrill at Kearney’s adventures in capturing these swarms from the strange places they settle, including a Jet Ski, a couch, a speed boat, and an owl’s nesting box. Fascinating, fun, and instructive, backyard beekeepers and nature lovers alike will find reason to return to the pages again and again.

Book Description
Winner of The IACP 2019 First Book Award presented by The Julia Child Foundation Like Madhur Jaffrey and Marcella Hazan before her, Naz Deravian will introduce the pleasures and secrets of her mother culture's cooking to a broad audience that has no idea what it's been missing. America will not only fall in love with Persian cooking, it'll fall in love with Naz.” - Samin Nosrat, author of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: The Four Elements of Good Cooking Naz Deravian lays out the multi-hued canvas of a Persian meal, with 100+ recipes adapted to an American home kitchen and interspersed with Naz's celebrated essays exploring the idea of home. At eight years old, Naz Deravian left Iran with her family during the height of the 1979 Iranian Revolution and hostage crisis. Over the following ten years, they emigrated from Iran to Rome to Vancouver, carrying with them books of Persian poetry, tiny jars of saffron threads, and always, the knowledge that home can be found in a simple, perfect pot of rice. As they traverse the world in search of a place to land, Naz's family finds comfort and familiarity in pots of hearty aash, steaming pomegranate and walnut chicken, and of course, tahdig: the crispy, golden jewels of rice that form a crust at the bottom of the pot. The best part, saved for last. In Bottom of the Pot, Naz, now an award-winning writer and passionate home cook based in LA, opens up to us a world of fragrant rose petals and tart dried limes, music and poetry, and the bittersweet twin pulls of assimilation and nostalgia. In over 100 recipes, Naz introduces us to Persian food made from a global perspective, at home in an American kitchen.

Through a harrowing series of initiations, Nani not only gets accepted into the lineup, she gains the attention of surf god, Nigel McBride. But maintaining stardom is harder than achieving it.
