New Jobs.

New Home.

Same New Kitty.

Kitty's brand of diplomacy isn't quite as smooth as Jeff's -- parties, lobbyists of all stripes, and politicians from all over present challenges a well-stocked iPod and quirky sense of humor aren't up to handling. But when a shadowy assassination plot and new anti-alien conspirators are identified, Kitty's the diplomat for the job -- in between 'Mommy and Me', 'Diplomacy for Beginners', and 'The Washington Wife' classes.

An Amazon #1 Bestseller!

Lights! Camera! Truthful reviews!

Some movies and TV shows are classics. Some are billed as classics. Some are funny, some serious, some just plain weird, some flat-out awful. And some are the worst sin of all – boring.

However, reading reviews of these movies and shows should never be boring. Obviously you agree, which is why you’re holding this in your hot little hands. Because the reviews inside are anything but dull. We suggest you drink cautiously while reading, because spraying liquid out of your nose can be uncomfortable.

The inimitable Gini Koch gives you her take on a variety of movies and television shows. Whether the shows are good, bad, or indifferent we promise this – the reviews are all 100% entertaining.

It's been six months since the Whiteout changed the world, Irene Roman's world in particular. Overnight the world was altered into a superhero reality where some people were "Pushed" into becoming Heroes or Villains with amazing, and dangerous, powers.

Irene is now known as Indomitable, one of the very few who can keep the altered world of the Pushed at bay and see the world for what it truly is.

Now she and the Atlanta Five are working within the newly established Pushed Action Response Team, trying to keep Push Crooks from destroying normal people and Push Heroes alike. Sure, she's also juggling a relationship that may or may not last with one of her teammates, keeping an eye on her ex-boyfriend, aka the creator of the Whiteout, and trying to find the other person out there she knows has the same abilities as she does.

But it's her addiction to painkillers – necessary due to the action Irene sees on a daily basis – that might cause Indomitable to fall and fail. Or it might make her even more unstoppable than before.

When your life is spent in perpetual fighting, what do you do when you realize it’s all been rigged?

World War II has altered the future – due to the fallout from the atomic bombs, myths became real as citizens all over the world come into what can only be described as superpowers. After a period of chaos, with superpowered beings choosing sides and fighting for their version of good or evil, the Department of Unnatural Powers is formed. Working with all the governments of Earth, they find a way to solve most of society’s ills.

Now superheroes and supervillains are paired off, fighting for or against “their” city under the watchful guidance of the Department. The fights are broadcast far and wide and, over the decades, end up replacing wars, sports, and most other entertainment, as the general public watches their favorites fight nightly. Naturally, some heroes and villains become world famous.

Then there are those who can’t break out of their small-market viewership, content to repeat the same fights over and over.

Dr. Peril’s great dream – to become a supervillainess – came true. She has a great lair, a loyal robotic henchman, and her archnemesis, Diamond. Together they fight over Evanston, Illinois. But something’s missing…if only she could remember what.

Diamond became a superhero as a means to an end – to find out what happened to the woman she loved and lost. With her beloved cat she fights the good fight against Dr. Peril, wondering if today will be the day she can knock some sense into her nemesis.

Will Dr. Peril and Diamond remain locked in an eternal struggle, televised every Tuesday? Or will one, or both, of them realize that there’s a lot more going on, and a lot more worth winning?

Wanted: Dead or Alive

She is the most wanted woman West of the Mississippi. Rescued, raised, and trained by the notorious Wolf Pack, by now the outlaw Belladonna is the best there is. The bounties on her head are for multiple stage and train robberies, as well as a variety of murders – particularly for the killing of a dozen men in Abilene who tried to lynch the Pack. The only criminals higher on the government’s official wanted list are Jesse James and Geronimo.

But Belle Stark is not what all the papers and wanted posters say – though she’s the first to admit that she’s an outlaw, and proud of it. The lawmen, gamblers, and badmen she knows call her friend or lover, her enemies call her the Devil’s Daughter. But the one man who matters more than all the others combined calls her his baby.

Her husband, the outlaw leader better known as The Wolf, dies in her arms in the streets of New Orleans, gunned down by men he called friends. Now Belle and what’s left of the Wolf Pack will hunt down his killers, through all the states and territories of the West if they have to. And when they find them, there will be hell to pay.

Helped and hindered along her path by some of the West’s most infamous lawmen, shootists, and outlaws, the ultimate choice Belle faces is the same one she’s been given since she was twelve – dead or alive. And Belladonna always picks dead.

Stacey Weir didn’t mean to become an amateur detective – but when the man who saved her as a teenager is accused of murder, there was only one thing for her to do…

Stuntwoman Stacey Weir isn’t intending to do anything other than her job on the movie set of Hard Action Five. But when a series of set mishaps turns deadly, and her adoptive father – Gil Ballantine, aka Mr. Fall – is accused of being involved, Stacey takes matters into her own hands.

Armed with her stunt and martial arts training, relying on her wealth of knowledge of movies, and supported by friends and her stunt family, Stacey’s investigation annoys the police – but it makes the bad guys more determined to stop her.

Whether all that help will be enough to save her and everyone else, though, is the question. But Stacey’s pretty sure she’s the answer.

Meet a heroine worthy of Gini Koch’s Katherine “Kitty” Katt and a twisty mystery that will keep you guessing until the end.
