In Tales from the Wilds of New Jersey, Ted Lyons invites the reader into the wonder years, coming of age adventures/discoveries of a Jersey kid whom you will undoubtedly come to recognize in one form or another. Ted: We re all here, sharing the planet for a nano second, just trying to get through it! So, of course, similar life experiences are unavoidable. In one-to-three-page chapters, Ted shares the rough and tumble life of a boy navigating his way through childhood, adolescence and finally stumbling into adulthood realizing that he s Peter Pan in a world full of responsible grownups! The stories are largely autobiographical, and true, to the extent that memory would allow. Included in the pages of TFTWONJ are a modest scattering of original poems, jokes, and song lyrics along with skewed observations of life, just to keep the reader off balance. The tales are regaled with humor and honesty, as seen through the nostalgic prism of rose colored glasses. If you don t see yourself, or someone you know, inside the wilds .... look again....

Drawing from the darkest corners of Caribbean mythology, acclaimed author Sarah Dass crafts a chilling tale of magic, murder, and how far we’ll go to protect what’s ours—perfect for fans of Angeline Boulley and Tiffany D. Jackson.Unlike the other residents of the small Caribbean island of St. Virgil, Selina DaSilva does not believe in magic. With a logical mind and a knack for botany, Selina used to dream of leaving home with her boyfriend, Gabriel, and starting a new life together far away—until a vicious, unsolved attack left her father dead and her mother in a coma.Two years later, her guilt over her mother’s condition keeps her tethered to the island, relegated to using her mother’s legacy as St. Virgil’s most talented (and most feared) psychic to con desperate islanders and gullible tourists with useless talismans and phony protection rituals. But when one of those tourists ends up at the center of a string of strange murders, the truth that Selina has been denying can no longer be avoided: There is evil lurking in the forests that surround St. Virgil. Another thing that can’t be avoided? Selina’s now ex-boyfriend, Gabriel, who’s returned home for the first time since Selina broke up with him.Desperate to put an end to the killings and claim justice for Selina’s parents, these two former lovers must race to find answers. But darkness is no fool. And evil bides its time. As long-hidden secrets about Selina’s family begin to reveal themselves, Selina knows only one path to the truth remains—and it waits in the forest.Endorsed by Rick Riordan, author of the Disney+ hit series Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
