The world believed Daniel Burke was dead. At least, the few people in the government who knew he existed did.

But before Burke can even get on the plane, his old team has tracked him down. The CIA believes Daniel Burke is a traitor--an enemy of the state--who must answer for his crimes. But others in government simply want him dead. Knowing he's been set up, Burke is the only one who can track down and expose the real traitor--before it's too late.

That's par for the course when you're a savant—one of less than one hundred in the world. But despite her photographic memory and super-powered intellect, there's one mystery Penny's never been able to solve: why did her father leave when she was in a coma at age seven, and where is he now? On Penny's twenty-first birthday, she receives a card in the mail from him, just as she has every year since he left. But this birthday card is different. For the first time ever, there's a return address. And a goodbye. Penny doesn't know the world beyond her mother's house and the special school she's attended since her unusual abilities revealed themselves, but the mystery of her father's disappearance becomes her new obsession. For the first time ever she decides to leave home, to break free of everything that has kept her safe, and use her gifts to answer the questions that have always eluded her. What Penny doesn't realize is she might not be able to outsmart a world far more complicated and dangerous than she'd ever imagined...

"We didn't call the police right away." Those are the electric first words of this extraordinary novel about a biracial Korean American family in Virginia whose lives are upended when their beloved father and husband goes missing. Mia, the irreverent, hyperanalytical twenty-year-old daughter, has an explanation for everything--which is why she isn't initially concerned when her father and younger brother Eugene don't return from a walk in a nearby park. They must have lost their phone. Or stopped for an errand somewhere. But by the time Mia's brother runs through the front door bloody and alone, it becomes clear that the father in this tight-knit family is missing and the only witness is Eugene, who has the rare genetic condition Angelman syndrome and cannot speak. What follows is both a ticking-clock investigation into the whereabouts of a father and an emotionally rich portrait of a family whose most personal secrets just may be at the heart of his disappearance. Full of shocking twists and fascinating questions of love, language, and human connection, Happiness Falls (Hogarth Press, 2023) is a mystery, a family drama, and a novel of profound philosophical inquiry.  Happiness Falls was an instant New York Times bestseller. Angie's debut novel, Miracle Creek, won the Edgar Award, the ITW Thriller Award, the Strand Critics' Award, and the Pinckley Prize and was named one of the hundred best mysteries and thrillers of all time by Time, The Washington Post, Kirkus, and the Today show. One of Variety Magazine's inaugural “10 Storytellers to Watch,” Angie has written for The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Vogue, Glamour, and numerous literary journals. She lives in northern Virginia with her family. Recommended Books: Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go Naoki Higashida, The Reason I Jump Daniel Mason, North Woods Hang Kan, Greek Lessons  Chris Holmes is Chair of Literatures in English and Associate Professor at Ithaca College. He writes criticism on contemporary global literatures. His book, Kazuo Ishiguro as World Literature, is under contract with Bloomsbury Publishing.

Her debut novel, Miracle Creek, won the Edgar Award, the ITW Thriller Award, the Strand Critics' Award and the Pinckley Prize, and was named one of the best books of the year by Time, The Washington Post, Kirkus Reviews and the “Today” show.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Winner of the 2015 PWA Shamus Award and the 2015 ITW Thriller Award for Best Original Paperback Novel for MOONLIGHT WEEPS, Vincent Zandri is the NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, and AMAZON KINDLE OVERALL NO.1 bestselling author of more than 60 novels and novellas including THE REMAINS, EVERYTHING BURNS, ORCHARD GROVE, THE SHROUD KEY and THE GIRL WHO WASN'T THERE. His list of domestic publishers include Delacorte, Dell, Down & Out Books, Thomas & Mercer, Polis Books, Blackstone Audio, and Oceanview Publishing. An MFA in Writing graduate of Vermont College, his work is translated in the Dutch, Russian, French, Italian, and Japanese. ABOUT THE BOOK - MOONLIGHT KILLS When Dick Moonlight PI and his professional impersonator sidekick, Fat Elvis, uncover the head of a decapitated, long blond-haired woman under the floorboards of an under-construction luxury home, they come into contact with a husband-and-wife construction team who also fancy themselves Hollywood filmmakers. Only, it turns out that the filmmakers aren't interested in making romcoms, but instead, snuff films. With Fat Elvis the perfect candidate for a starring role in their new film, Moonlight is hired by the police to go undercover and expose the snuff film operation which, it turns out, is also partly financed by Mexican drug cartel gang members. The stakes and the body count in this hard-boiled thriller are higher than a box office smash hit, and far more deadly. For fans of Joe R. Landsdale, Michael Connelly, Ace Atkins, Robert B. Parker, and more, New York Times and USA Today bestselling, award-winning author Vincent Zandri delivers another novel in the gritty, fast-paced Dick Moonlight PI series that promises to keep you up all night.

Set against the backdrop of a Syria pulsing with fear and rebellion, Damascus Stationis a gripping thriller that offers a textured portrayal of espionage, love, loyalty, and betrayal in one of the most difficult CIA assignments on the planet. A CIA officer and his recruit arrive in war-ravaged Damascus to hunt for a killer in this page-turner that offers the "most authentic depiction of modern-day tradecraft in print."  (Navy SEAL sniper and New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr).  David McCloskey is a former CIA analyst and former consultant at McKinsey & Company.

I was just floored by how generous and kind she was with her customers, even sort of the cantankerous ones. She was just so kind to everyone. And everyone loved her as a result. "– Angie Kim   Angie hopes that she can do it as well with her professional relationships - going that extra mile of being kind and generous with your time can help build better bonds with others.   Miracle Creek Discussing her book, Miracle Creek, Angie shares how her life experiences inspired the book's themes; in a way, she's sharing takeaways from her life with their readers through a new world woven in the story.   "So yes, Miracle Creek is my debut novel...people say that you put a lot of yourself into your first books. That's definitely the case for me as well. I've put so many threads of my own life into this book, one of which is the whole immigrant thread. Another facet of my life that's in this novel is that of me as a mother. Then finally, the other thread that's in my novel was my first career as a trial lawyer." – Angie Kim   Angie Kim on Being a Writer Angie shares that for the longest time, she never wanted to be a writer. Even when she was going to a school with an incredible Creative Writing department, it never occurred to her to take it up. Back then, she thought writing meant just sitting in one place and writing all day, which sounded boring. She found this ironic since, as a lawyer, there was a lot of writing, just a different kind. After going through her colorful experiences in life and listening to friends be fascinated by her journey and life lessons, she decided on her next career to tackle: being a writer.   One day, when I was just having a really hard day, I just opened up my laptop and started writing about what I was upset about. And it was just so cathartic. I had never really experienced that through writing before.

Not your best friend, not your wife, not the police—and certainly not yourself. Sidney O'Keefe just wants to spend a peaceful weekend alone with his wife and daughter in the vacation paradise of Lake Placid, New York—now that he's been paroled after a ten year stretch in a maximum-security prison. But any illusion of a peaceful future is destroyed when his eleven-year-old daughter, Chloe, suddenly disappears from the iconic beach scene, leaving Sidney and his wife, Penny, stricken with fear and panic. When it's determined that his old crime boss, Mickey Rabuffo, might be behind the abduction, it becomes apparent that the past has not only come back to haunt Sidney, but it's come back to kill the entire family. With the village police assuming that Sidney, an ex-con with a history of prison violence, is responsible for his daughter's disappearance, Sidney is left with no choice—he needs to take the law into his own hands—not only to expose the truth about what's developing into a conspiracy of Biblical proportions, but also to render his own particular brand of rough justice.

Carter Wilson is the USA Today and #1 Denver Post bestselling author of six critically acclaimed, standalone psychological thrillers, as well as numerous short stories. He is an ITW Thriller Award finalist, a three-time winner of the Colorado Book Award, and his novels have received multiple starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Library Journal. His latest novel, The Dead Girl in 2A, was released in July 2019. Carter didn’t plan to become a novelist. It was really quite by accident. He got his bachelor’s degree from Cornell and planned to work in hotel services. Then, on a spring day in 2003, an exercise to ward off boredom during a continuing-education class evolved into a 400-page manuscript. Since that day, Carter has been constantly writing. We chatted about the craft of thrillers, his writing technique, killing off characters, and how he plans his storylines. It’s been an amazing journey.

Acclaimed bestseller Karen Cleveland stepped into the Interrogation Room, just to clear up a few things. Karen worked as an analyst at CIA, and the bulk of her work there was in counterterrorism. She has master’s degrees from Trinity College Dublin, where she studied as a Fulbright Scholar, and from Harvard University. Her first novel, NEED TO KNOW, was a finalist for the ITW Thriller Award, and her writing has been praised by the likes of Lee Child and John Grisham. Her latest book, KEEP YOU CLOSE, just released last month. In this episode, Karen and Writers On The Beat host Gavin Reese discuss her motivations and experience at CIA; her deliberately crafted writing style and voice; the time Universal bought her movie rights; and her love of Nate The Great.

Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/jtellison In this episode, J.T. discusses: -Her time living and working in Washington D.C. and how she thought that was the path she was going to go down. -How reading John Sanford inspired her to get back to her own writing and to give it a shot. -The memory of sitting down to write after eight years of not writing. -Her advice for people who have had a long hiatus from their writing or art, to just do it. -For people who have full-time gigs, to find an hour of time to put towards their calling. -How people know how to budget their money to save up for a vacation, but they don't think of their time with creativity the same way. -How her thesis advisor told her she "wasn't good enough" to get published, and how that voice remained in her head for years (and still does). -Her advice for anyone who has received negative feedback and can't get that voice out of their head. -The importance of having a critique group or some friends or colleagues that will give you honest feedback without tearing you down. -One of her hardest times creatively, when she actually thought she was going to quit, and how "The Artist's Way" brought her out of it and realized that she needed to pivot and write something different. -How you should not leave behind "half-eaten sandwiches," or half-finished stories. -How it is important to be honest and explain to loved ones why you need to spend time doing your creative passion and what it brings to your life. J.T.'s Final Push will inspire you to approach your creativity with reckless abandon! Quotes: "I think everybody goes to D.C. thinking they're going to change the world." "I sat down and I started to write.  I wrote a paragraph, hit period, and I started to cry.  Because that was it.  I had come home." "Something was wrong.  I was good at what I did but I hated every minute of it.  I hated getting up in the morning.  I hated going to work.  I hated going to sleep at night because then I had to get up and do it the next day.  If you are feeling that, you need to step away.  Life is just too short to be miserable in your work and in what you do." "Writing is not easy.  It is not an easy path.  There are a lot of obstacles in the way, but any creative outlet whether you're a writer, a painter, or a poet... you have to just do it." "You can find an hour to do anything." "Fifteen minutes a day, write 250 words.  You will have a novel by the end of the year.  It's totally doable." "That's why I didn't write for eight years.  Because somebody told me I wasn't good enough." "If you can understand why a story is appealing on a broad level, you can fix your own." "Voice can't be taught.  Voice is something unique to every writer.  And Voice is something that comes when you trust yourself." "Learn how to structure and build a story and then let yourself go.  The voice will come." "A bad day writing is better than a good day doing anything else." "The problem with being a writer is that it takes a lot of introspection." "All creatives are selfish.  And you have to be selfish and you have to be able to respect your time." "It's very threatening for the spouse or parent of a creative person to see you finding satisfaction in something that's not them." Links mentioned: "No One Knows" by J.T.
