Retirement Homes Are Murder by Mike Befeler. I bought this on Amazon Kindle
just before I boarded a flight to Portland, Oregon from Maui. $4.99 only. It's a mystery but I was laughing
and chuckling the whole way. You'll enjoy the main character, a crotchety
octogenarian named Paul Jacobson. You can get this in a paper edition or on Kindle.

Resurrection Day by Brendon
DuBois. This is one of my favorites. It's now 1972. Washington, D.C., is a radioactive crater
after a Cuban Missile crisis fiasco. DuBois creates a sobering and imaginatively detailed vision of an America that
has been crippled by tragedy. One of DuBois's many brilliant touches is an underground of diehard Kennedy supporters who
scrawl the graffiti "He Lives" on every available surface, because they believe that JFK was not only innocent,
but is still alive and broadcasting from a pirate radio station. Cohesively plotted and smoothly written, steadily exciting
and rife with clever conceits, this is what-if thriller fiction at its finest.

Time on My Hands by Peter Delacorte.
This is one of my all-time favororite reads. You'll have a blast as a time machine takes you back to Hollywood when
Ronald Reagan was a struggling B-actor. There's a mystery, there's suspense, there's foreign intrigue and
you will wish that Delacorte had written a sequel. You can buy a used copy for just a penny (plus postage) on Amazon.com.
Just click on the title below for more info.
