About Retribution
“Harm no human…
A hired gunslinger, William Jessup Brady lived his life with one foot in the grave. He believed that every life had a price. Until the day when he finally found a reason to live. In one single act of brutal betrayal, he lost everything, including his life. Brought back by a Greek goddess to be one of her Dark-Hunters, he gave his immortal soul for vengeance and swore he’d spend eternity protecting the humans he’d once considered prey.”

Tualatin, Oregon – July 19, 2011: NY Times bestseller author Alan Jacobson returns with a new Karen Vail thriller, Inmate 1577, as an exclusive Norwood Press signed hardcover release. Critics are raving about this new Jacobson story, calling it his best book ever.
Praise for Inmate 1577
“Inmate 1577 is a mystery masterpiece. The author has written his best work to date, creating a classic psychopathic character that will be the inspiration for thriller writers in the years ahead,” says John Wills of NY Journal of Books.
“Inmate 1577 is another rippin’ good ‘Alan Jacobson read’! Jacobson researches his books like a good newspaper reporter, and then pushes the envelope into reality more thoroughly than the typical crime novel could ever allow.” – Kevin Fagan, San Francisco Chronicle
“In my 27 years working at USP Leavenworth as a Correctional Officer and Institution Historian, no other book has painted the story of what it’s like to survive behind those 40 foot walls better than Inmate 1577. Hats off to Alan Jacobson for his relentless research and desire to bring credibility to an already fascinating story!” – Kenneth M. LaMaster, Leavenworth Correctional Officer (ret), Author, and Institution Historian

Let’s talk shipping and handling. Why is it necessary and what do you get for it.
I remember old days of the Columbia Record Club and how they would charge $7.98 for shipping and handling on an $8 LP, and promised to have it to you in 6-8 weeks. It seemed okay, because there were no alternatives.
Wow, times have changed.
Thanks to the internet, and the emergence of e-commerce, most of what we consider buying comes via the postman or the guys in the brown shirts and brown vans. As a result consumers are paying close attention to those handling charges and are quick to criticize when they seem too high. Merchant organizations, sensitive to these criticisms have taken steps to fix the prices for shipping and handling at levels they deem fair, with little or no consideration to the seller.
Take for example Ebay. Recently they limited domestic shipping and handling on a book at $3.99. All booksellers were forced to comply or be de-listed on Ebay, no discussion, no exception, just comply or be thrown off. Furthermore, booksellers have been encouraged to “hide” their actual shipping costs in the product price, and provide “free” shipping to the consumer. As Ebay explains, the “image” of free shipping makes the consumer more willing to buy. However, Ebay’s motivation is even more sinister. Ebay does not collect fees or commissions on shipping (more…)
Ms. Gardner took time from her tour schedule to visit with the staff at VJ Books. Lisa was born in Oregon, and was escorted by her mother who still lives in the area. “It’s always nice to visit with an author with roots in the northwest, especially one as celebrated as Lisa Gardner,” said Virginia Lenneville of VJ Books.
Lisa Gardner is getting rave reviews for her newest thriller–Live to Tell–while at the same time celebrating last year’s hit, The Neighbor, which just was recognized as ITW’s Best Novel of The Year at Thrillerfest in New York City on July 10th. Beating out the likes of Harlan Coben, Linwood Barclay, Joseph Finder, and T. Jefferson Parker, she is the first woman to earn the prestigious award. Both books currently hold positions on the NY Times List.
Live to Tell received a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly that reported, “Starred Review – At the heart of Gardner’s outstanding fourth novel featuring Boston PD detective Warren (after The Neighbor) are some very sick kids, notably Lucy, a nine-year-old feral girl who self-mutilates when any attention is given to her, and Evan, an eight-year-old boy who during fits threatens to kill his mother. D.D gets involved after two grisly family annihilations lead to the locked-down pediatric psych ward in Cambridge that specializes in Lucy’s and Evan’s types of hard case.
When a child is too sick and the parent can no longer handle care, the child ends up in the acute care facility under the tutelage of pediatric psych nurse Danielle, the lone survivor of… (more…)
