Tha Chhay's autobiography features the harrowing escapes that brought him from Cambodia to America. He is a "walking miracle" who survived Khmer Rouge's forced evacuation of the cities, escaped their forced labor camps, and became a boy merchant selling and trading items on the borders of Vietnam and Thailand. At sixteen, Tha was able to save up enough gold to hire a guide to lead him across Cambodia's land-mine infested areas to a refugee camp in Thailand. He persevered in the refugee camp for six long years before he was granted acceptance to immigrate to Seattle, Washington. His story delves into the psychology of survival and offers hope for others who need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, even if their boots have holes and no straps. Tha Chhay's testament to the horrors of the Cambodian genocide offers perspective on the current political turmoil around the world.

Kirkus Review (Starred)This gritty coming-of-age tale novel revolves around three teenage friends and a dangerous adventure that changes them all. Set in the spring of 1969, Northcutt's story primarily focuses on 15-year-old Teddy Nutscalder, who lives in Dix Knob: "an East Texas cesspool that God forgot." Living with an abusive, alcoholic father and the memory of a wayward mother who simply up and left seven years earlier when his twin sister died, Nutscalder's life isn't exactly idyllic--especially considering that town bully Galton Grails has it out for him. His best friends, Mickey O'Dell, a "pint-sized Hercules," and Tommy Crum, whose penis is the size of a "Czechoslovakian summer sausage," share Nutscalder's disdain for the town and dream of getting out someday. But when they talk a pretty "high society" girl from jumping to her death off of a bridge, they become entangled in her sad story, which includes a sexually abusive stepfather, a mentally unstable mother, and a dangerous conspiracy where more than a few people may have already been murdered. While the cast is brilliantly portrayed and the storyline has some truly impressive plot twists, it's Northcutt's clear, confident voice and his ability to immerse the reader in 1969 culture that makes this novel so readable. The prose and imagery, while not always politically correct, fit the story perfectly: "She had a figure like Marilyn Monroe with an hourglass waist and tits like a couple of 1957 Cadillac bumper bullets." But ultimately, it's the thematic exploration into the power of friendship and the significance of (trying to) do the right thing that makes this so unputdownable. Readers who enjoyed Stephen King's novella "The Body" will love this novel. Radiates an immersive, dark, and nostalgic vibe.https: //www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/randall-northcutt/the-cusser-club/

The second book in The Secrets of the Twilight Djinn Collection, the adventure continues for Max Daybreaker and his friends as they navigate a world of magic and adventure.

When Robin Deering touches a map, she travels magically to that very spot. Sounds great, but the terra firma landings can be hard and sometimes injurious. On the other hand, water landings could drop her into the jaws of something ravenous. Almost always, an incidental touch of a map takes her to a place she never intended to go-much like her very unenchanted life after an out-of-the-blue divorce. Her return trips pull her onto the deck of her father's fishing boat, which is now parked in her ex-husband's garage. Awkward doesn't begin to describe this glitch in her inherited magic. When Robin accidentally touches a hand-drawn map with a plea for help, she lands in the Arabian Sea off the coast of India. From bejeweled water, she watches a young girl toss yet another bottled plea for help into the ocean. Curiosity over the girl's welfare entices Robin to return with a touch of the map, and a bond builds between Robin and the trafficked girl, Bimala. When the lives of Bimala and her young daughter are threatened, Robin must rescue the girl using her less-than-fabulous brand of magic or live with crushing regret.

Because now she wasn't just under my skin, but under my sheets too.Until I messed up-big time, and now I have to prove to her that I deserved a second chance, because I refused to accept that it was game over.I knew the rules, I knew the stakes, and I was playing for keeps.
