Rook is a gripping historical crime novel inspired by the real-life bank robber Al Nussbaum. To his wife Lolly, Al is a loving, chess‑obsessed family man; to J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI, he’s a calculating mastermind whose meticulously planned heists have turned deadly. When a guard is killed and a cop is shot, Al rockets onto the Most Wanted list and is forced to vanish from Buffalo, leaving Lolly to face the fallout as “the bank robber’s wife.” While Al hides under aliases, plotting new scores and a desperate escape plan, Lolly must support their baby, endure FBI pressure, and decide whether loyalty to the man she loves is worth sacrificing her future. Told in taut, alternating perspectives, Rook explores the thin line between devotion and betrayal, and how far a man—and a marriage—will go when the noose starts to tighten.

Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when from out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver! The Lone Ranger rides again!

Who was the mind behind The Lone Ranger?

It’s 1930s Buffalo, New York and the Great Depression rages. Playwright Fran Striker needs to write the pilot for a new radio show but, first, he must overcome writer’s block, defeat a magical curse, foil a plot to assassinate FDR, and recover stolen diamond rings belonging to an alcoholic boxing champion.

Who was that masked man? Based on the controversial true-life story of Lone Ranger creator Fran Striker, Yesteryear takes us on a magical journey leading to an icon’s debut, a show that provided hope to Americans during the country’s darkest days.

1942. War rages in Europe. Pearl Harbor’s still smoldering. And alcoholic private eye Nicholas Bishop wakes up on the floor with two missing slugs from his fired .38. The cops think he murdered lounge singer Pearl DuGaye, the mob thinks he saw something he shouldn’t have, and Bishop remembers none of it. Together with Gia, his assistant he may or may not have fired, a WW1 veteran who sometimes thinks it’s 1918, and a one-eyed female dog named Jake, Bishop tries to piece together the events that took place during his six-day bender.

After Pearl is not only a wartime murder mystery, but also one man’s struggle with reclaiming his life and sobriety. Along the way, Bishop stumbles across a dirty politician, a socialite and her cheating husband, and a cadre of American Nazis who are certainly up to no good. Written in the spirit of Mickey Spillane and Dashiell Hammett, Eoannou adds his own unique flair and voice to this genre.

Harald, second son of Cnute--the king of England and Denmark--takes up a holding in Mercia with his wife, Selia, away from life at court. While they face the many challenges of landholding, someone attempts to murder Harald's brother Sweyn in Nordvegr, vowing to kill all the sons of Cnute. Harald worries whether he has enough men to protect Selia, when an old friend from their journey to Rome, Ravya ben Naaman, arrives with a sworn enemy of Harald's, bound to his horse. Will the threat to their lives now end? Will Harald and Selia ever be truly safe?

The Cold Hearth is book #3 in The Atheling Chronicles series, following Harald Harefoot, a half-forgotten figure in eleventh century pre-conquest England.

In the eleventh century, Cnute, the Viking king of Engla-lond and Danmark, sails to Rome accompanied by his shield brothers and his middle son, Harald,. Thrown off course by a storm, they follow the route up the Rhine. When Harald hangs back to assist Selia, a beautiful Frisian woman, his path turns perilous. New found enemies, retainers of Robert the Devil, Duke of Normandy, pursue them. Harald, Selia, and their companions fail to rendezvous with King Cnute, and are forced to travel cross-country on horseback. If Duke Robert's plan to assassinate Cnute succeeds, an invasion of Engla-lond will follow. Can Harald and Selia reach Rome in time to warn the King?

This sequel to Garth Pettersen's acclaimed historical debut novel, The Swan's Road, continues the story of Harald, second son of King Cnute, and his wife Selia Fehr in the eleventh century.
After a peaceful year running their Frisian estate, Harald and Selia are called to Engla-lond. Their return is marked by violence and intrigue. The king has vowed to Queen Emma that their son Harthacnute will inherit the throne, but the atheling is cruel and reckless. Many view Harald as the better choice, which makes him a target for the ruthless supporters of his half-brother. King Cnute urges Harald to be prepared to assume the throne should Harthacnute prove unfit.
Harald resists being swept up by forces beyond his control, but doubts he and Selia will survive the reign of King Hartha.
And what of his older brother, Sweyn?
The Dane Law is a welcome addition to the wealth of Anglo-Saxon tales written by Bernard Cornwell, Rosemary Sutcliff, and Nicola Griffith.

When Harald, the second son of King Cnute, returns from fighting the king's enemies in Northern Wales, he expects his life to return to normal⸺farming in the Midlands, overseeing his few tenants, evening walks with his beloved Selia⸺an idyllic life, far from the power-mongering of King Cnute's court. But the king grants them a large landholding, a gift they cannot refuse.

On arriving at their new holding, Ravens Hill, Harald and Selia receive a tepid welcome⸺from belligerent housecarls, a conniving steward, an uncompromising abbess, bitter at not adding their estate to her abbey lands, a priest with roaming hands, and a grieving daughter of the previous landholder, who has entered the nunnery.

Harald and Selia wish to improve the lot of their tenant farmers but they face obstacles at every turn, and Harald’s generosity is seen as weakness. They also learn the lands come with an unexpected millstone—an unsolved murder.

Then the trouble begins.
