The Family Romance of Neurotics
"Junichuro Matsumato is a handsome 42-year-old man: dark-haired, wealthy, and devastated. He stares forlornly at the small glass buddha statue illuminated by the blue LED light behind it. There are thousands of the buddhas behind the glowing panes of glass, five hundred per wall. For easy identification, the light behind his wife’s buddha glows a different hue as he swipes his card to enter. He doesn’t need to be shown where his wife’s glass box is. Junichuro visits here every day and has done for 21 months. He never cries. *** 'Lawrence makes every word count, telling each story with elegance and emotional punch.” — Patsy Hennessey 'Each story is masterfully constructed ...

"“There’s the drive back home, invariably in the dark. Not safe.” “She has plenty of space. We could have just stayed over.” Linda shook her head. “No. Not allowed. Against the rules.” “What do you mean?” Andrew took off his glasses and frowned at her. “Hodgey was always begging us to stay the night. I’ve never understood—” Linda drummed her fingers on her knees.“It’s just a thing, okay? An agreement.” Andrew’s furrows deepened. “Between you and Hodge?” “Between Peter and I. We sibling-swore.” “‘Sibling-swore’? What are you two? Twelve?” Linda stopped drumming. “We were sixteen, if you must know.” Andrew laughed. “Why? Is the house haunted?” “In a way.” He stopped laughing, perhaps remembering that Linda had lost her parents when she was sixteen. “In a way?” “Bad things happen. If you stay over.”"
The Patron Saint of Children
"The priest turned his back on the old man so he wouldn’t notice if his fingers shook while pouring. He would have poured himself a drink before the impromptu meeting, to steady his nerves, but he knew he’d be driving that night, so he had reluctantly abstained. When he sat down, a sigh escaped the priest’s lips. “I assume you know why I asked to see you,” said the bishop, his long wiry eyebrows knitting in an accusing way. His raptorial eyes were unblinking. “Yes, Your Excellency,” Father Sanderson said. “It is unfortunate.” “Unfortunate, indeed,” said Bishop Francis. “This report could be a significant problem for Stuart Hall.” 'Yes,' agreed the priest and took a shaky sip of his sherry. Despite the clear crimson liquid on his tongue, his mouth remained dry. “I’m going to have to ask you a few questions.” “Of course,” said Father Sanderson. Suddenly impatient with his trembling hands, he threw the rest of his sherry down his throat and was glad to be rid of the glass. His foot was still vibrating. “As you know, Sister Agnes had a complaint from one of the boys.”"
"“Maybe,” says Margaret, “when you see this place you’ll understand. It’s like Club Med! There’s a heated pool and a rec centre and a cocktail bar and everything. They have 24-hour room service!” Andrew guffaws. “A cocktail bar? At a nursing home? What’s next? Happy Hour?” 'It's not a ‘nursing home,' Andrew, dear. It's a ‘Retirement Destination.'' “A what?” “It’s all about marketing, you see? Kids don’t feel half as bad sending their decrepit parents off to a ‘holiday club’.” “Still. A cocktail bar?” “Judy, do you see now why I can’t live with you two? I’m 86 bloody years old—” “Language!” scolds Andrew. 'As I was saying, I'm 86 BLOODY years old, and if I want to spend the days swearing and drinking Pimm's and playing bloody strip poker, then I will do it WITHOUT the disapproving glare from the very boy whose bare bottom I used to smack for stealing my menthol cigarettes.' 'That does sound quite lovely, Marge. If Andrew gets too strict with me, I shall come and spend a few days with you. We can drink cocktails together. Although I’m not sure about the strip poker …” Margaret pats Judy on the shoulder. “We all have our boundaries, dear.” “Some fewer than others,” Andrew murmurs."

The Ember Isles: An Urban Fantasy Action Adventure
"A van full of handcuffed criminals speeds towards the Dark Tower. What could go wrong?A lot, apparently. Especially when Jax’s assassin happens to be in the vehicle destined for oblivion.

Sure, there’s a woman being haunted by her dead husband. And the new captain of the paranormal special ops force who doesn’t hide his obsession for a certain kick-ass detective of the girl wizard variety. And a magical albino ferret who has a deep and abiding affection for popcorn. (Yes, popcorn. But go easy on the salt.) So: Spells, yes. Explosions, yes. Killer sharks … maybe. And a whole lot of magic, adventure, and mayhem. But this is certainly no love story. *** A breakneck-paced mix of urban fantasy, irreverent humor and detective noir. Fans of The Dresden Files and Jessica Jones will burn through this addictive urban fantasy series. Get it now. Stay up all night with USA Today bestselling author and Kindle Unlimited All-Star JT Lawrence."
