Book Description
It’s every motorcyclist’s dream. A friend or acquaintance says, “You know, there’s an old bike that’s been sitting in this garage for years.” The hunt is on. And rather than the usual worthless Hondazukimaha pile of hopeless oxidation, at the back of that barn you find a genuine classic, the motorcycle collector’s dream. The Vincent in the Barn tells forty such stories--tales of motorcycle hunting dreams come true. From Ducatis in basements to Vincents abandoned in sheds, Harleys in barns to Brit bikes moldering behind urban garages, these are the stories that fuel every motorcyclist’s fantasies. The only difference? They’re true. See Tom Cotter, author of Motorbooks “In the Barn” series, interviewed by Jay Leno on JayLenosGarage.com: http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/video/jays-book-club-the-hemi-in-the-barn/1237422/

Book Description
Break into that barn - you know you want to - there might be a vintage Harley inside. If you won't break in, Tom Cotter will; amazing motorcycles await. Driving down a country road, a flash of chrome catches your eye as you pass an old farmstead. Next time you roll by, you slow down and focus on a shed behind the house. Could that be? Good lord, it is! Hard on the brakes, quick reverse, and pull in the drive. Yep, it's a vintage Triumph Bonneville peering forlornly from beneath a tattered cover. You've just begun the journey that fuels the dreams of every motorcycle collector: the long-forgotten machine, rediscovered. The Harley in the Barn offers forty-plus tales of lost Nortons, hidden Hondas, dormant Indians, and busted BSAs, all squirreled away from prying eyes but found by lucky collectors just like you. Author Tom Cotter is not only a barn-find master, he's also master of discovering the collectors with the best stories and the most outlandish finds. In The Harley in the Barn, all those great stories are told. If you can't pass a padlocked garage without wondering if there's a great old bike stashed inside, this is your book. Hell, this is your life.

Book Description
Werewolves, fairies, elves, and so much more-they all live around us, hidden in plain sight. Protecting mythological creatures isn't an easy job, but using my powers as a Reader, I work as a field agent for the clandestine agency to keep them safe. Stonecoat (AIR Series Prequel) - Gran and I find a person straight out of mythology, I realize there's more to this world than I ever imagined. Can we avoid being thrown in prison long enough to help Gran's new companion? Shattered Soul (AIR Series Book 1) - My elven partner Logan is showing me the ropes. Relocating a troll and interviewing a werewolf should be a normal day. When shots are fired and a fairy turns up dead, our day turns into a nightmare. With my powers raging out of control and a target on my back, will I be able to protect the Lost? Redcap (AIR Series Book 2) - My powers and Rider's keen werewolf nose sense a creature that doesn't belong, but our progress slows to a crawl when the wicked winter weather makes an appearance. Can we find the pixies, stop the goblin rebellion, and identify this new threat before I freeze to death? Broken Paths (AIR Series Book 3) - When a routine call starts with a gun pointed at me, I know it's going to be a bad day. I go undercover to track a killer. It's risky, especially with a drug addict at my side, but we will put an end to the monster responsible-even if it costs my life. Stolen Sight (AIR Series Book 4) - Suck my soul out? I'll get over it. Try to kill me? Whatever. Send me a dead bunny? Watch your back. The arrival of deranged gifts tell me that I've been marked for death, and I'd like to return the favor. The trouble is, can you kill someone if they aren't alive?
