New From International Best Selling Author Gloria Nagy!
COMING OCTOBER 6, 2020
PEOPLE DIE IN SUNSHINE
Sometime before dawn on a very hot early summer day in South Miami, two people were savagely killed. People Die in Sunshine is a carnival ride through the externally glamorous but internally twisted lives of two people, Frederick and Coco Rothenstein and their world. The first four words of Gloria Nagy’s scorching, ironic tale of greed are MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. What Ms. Nagy accomplished in a work of humor, heartbreak, murder, and redemption reinforces those four words.
…this smart, often sardonically funny page-turner should amuse fans of Hiaasenian hijinks.”

Unapparent Wounds
Young, beautiful Hannah Nicoli lives with her two small children and her loving husband in a fashionable Los Angeles neighborhood. A successful magazine writer, she seems to have it all. But Hannah feels time passing her by; she doesn’t fully trust her husband; her “bad emotional stock” diminishes her sense of self.
Hannah sets out to record the facts of her life in the hope of discovering the shape of her identity. Then, as though called up from the Hades of her past, “a ghost sat down for a rest on Hannah’s life.”
In this engrossing tale of modern life, Gloria Nagy paints a searing, hilarious portrait of her city, a Candy Land whose allure can be poison to those who don’t look to the core. She skillfully combines satire and suspense as she creates vibrant, unforgettable characters whose lives—in some measure—echo our own.
Nagy’s style is fresh, her pace brisk, her humor delightful.”

Review
Radio Blues
The Sweet sisters began life as identical twins, but thanks to the miracles of Jane Fonda and plastic surgery, on the eve of their fortieth birthday, they hardly resemble one another. Amora has become a glamorous, egocentric radio shrink with her own nationally broadcast program and a huge following, while Aroma leads a much quieter life as a psychologist in a halfway house for teenagers.
The relative calm of Aroma’s life is shattered when her sister’s perfectly coiffed head is delivered to her desk one morning along with The New York Times. Aroma is now thrust into the limelight as the next likely victim and as the lead suspect. She escapes New York and her “police protection” to begin her own search to find the killer.
The result is a hilariously funny and suspenseful murder mystery that is also a touching, contemporary story of sibling rivalry and self-discovery.
In what is probably her funniest book to date, Gloria Nagy creates unforgettable characters and draws a picture of life in New York and the Mid-west that is so real, and so funny, you will find yourself laughing out loud.
A new comic genius has landed on earth. Radio Blues is sensational.”
