The Brenda Novak Store

Description

This is a monthly subscription box service. Each month we hand select several fun, reader related items to put in the box along with one or two autographed books. You will choose between an autographed copy of the book group’s current read or an autographed Brenda Novak book specially selected for that month. If Brenda Novak has a new release coming out, an autographed copy of her new release will be in that month's box. There will also be a surprise gift you won’t know about until you receive the box.

NOTE: We are SOLD OUT of the Twelve Days of Christmas "Thank you" gift that is going into December's Brenda Novak Book Box. If you sign up now, your subscription will start with December's box and you will be guaranteed the  Twelve Days of Christmas "Thank you" gift next year. 

If you have single box purchases, we will edit your subscription around those orders so you do not receive duplicates (unless you email store@brendanovak.com to let us know you actually intend to get duplicates).

*We are only set up to accept credit card payments and subscriptions can only be bought alone, not in combination with other products. In other words, if you’d like other products here at the Brenda Novak Store, you’ll need to handle that in a separate transaction. If you sign up for a monthly subscription, your card will be charged when you sign up for the month’s current box (providing they are not sold out). After that, you will be charged on the 7th of the month for the next box, meaning you will pay three weeks in advance. This gives us time to get your book selections, personalize any items that need to be personalized, etc.

If you sign up for a yearly subscription, you will be charged $625 upon purchase, a savings of $35, and you will get twelve boxes throughout the coming year. This subscription will renew annually.

Here's what WOMAN LAST SEEN is about: 

Leigh Fletcher: happily married stepmom to two gorgeous boys goes missing on Monday. Her husband, Mark, says he knows nothing of her whereabouts. She went to work and just never came home. Their family is shattered.

Kai Janssen: married to wealthy Dutch businessman Daan and vanishes the same week. Kai left their luxurious penthouse and glamorous world without a backward glance. She seemingly evaporated into thin air. Daan is distraught.

Detective Clements knows that people disappear all the time—far too frequently. Most run away from things, some run toward and others are taken but find their way back. A sad few never return. These two women are from very different worlds. Their disappearances are unlikely to be connected. And yet, at a gut level, the detective believes they might be.

How could these women walk away from their families, husbands and homes willingly? Clements is determined to unearth the truth, no matter how shocking and devastating it may be.

This box will contain an autographed copy of THE CHRISTIE AFFAIR by Nina de Gramont (or you can switch out this book to ONE PERFECT SUMMER by Brenda Novak), a wooden wine balancer and a 5"x 7" signed print of The Lector III by artist Tyler Voorhees. This comes on fine art paper with an acid-free backing and a postcard insert with information about The Lector and The Jobs of Yesteryear. (A lector was someone hired to read to factory workers while they worked; he actually received the highest pay because of his education.) I love Tyler’s work—it’s so distinctive—and have several pieces hanging in my house. Can’t wait to add this to my collection and share it with all of you! More contents will be revealed soon! 

Here's what THE CHRISTIE AFFAIR is about: 

"A long time ago, in another country, I nearly killed a woman. It's a particular feeling, the urge to murder. First comes rage, larger than any you've ever imagined. It takes over your body so completely, it's like a divine force, grabbing hold of your will, your limbs, your psyche. It conveys a strength you never knew you possessed. Your hands, harmless until now, rise up to squeeze another person's life away. There's a joy to it. In retrospect, it's frightening, but I daresay in the moment it feels sweet. The way justice feels sweet."

So begins The Christie Affair, told from the point of view of Miss Nan O'Dea, a fictional character but based on someone real. In 1925, she infiltrated the wealthy, rarified world of author Agatha Christie and her husband, Archie. A world of London townhomes, country houses, shooting parties, and tennis matches. Nan O'Dea became Archie's mistress, luring him away from his devoted wife. In every way, she became a part of their world--first, both Christies. Then, just Archie.

The question is, why?

And what did it have to do with the mysterious eleven days that Agatha Christie went missing?

The answer takes you back time, to Ireland, to a young girl in love, to a time before The Great War. To a star-crossed couple who were destined to be together--until war and pandemic and shameful secrets tore them apart.

What makes a woman desperate enough to destroy another woman's marriage?
What makes someone vengeful enough to hatch a plot years in the making?
What drives someone to murder?

These questions and more are explored in Nina de Gramont's brilliant, unforgettable, lush, and powerful novel.

A summer of healing, friendship, love…and a secret that could change everything.

After the death of her US senator father, Marlow Madsen travels to the small island off the coast of Florida where she spent summers growing up to help her mother settle the family estate. For Marlow, the trip is a chance to reconnect after too long apart. It’s also the perfect escape to help her feel grounded again—one she’s happy to share with friends Aida and Claire, who are hoping to hit reset on their lives, too.

A leisurely beachfront summer promises the trio of women the opportunity to take deep healing breaths and explore new paths. But when her father’s will reveals an earth-shattering secret that tarnishes his impeccable reputation and everything she thought she knew about her family, Marlow finds herself questioning her entire childhood—and aspects of her future. Fortunately, her friends, and the most unlikely love interest she could imagine, prove that happiness can be found no matter what—as long as the right people are by your side.

Here's what it's about:

Maybe this Christmas can thaw his frozen heart—and heal hers.

Hollywood starlet Tia Beckett knows one moment can change your life. Her career had been on the fast track before a near-fatal accident left her with a debilitating facial scar. Certain her A-lister dreams are over, she agrees to house-sit at her producer’s secluded estate in Silver Springs. It’s the escape from the limelight Tia’s been craving, until she discovers she’s not the only houseguest for the holidays. And her handsome new roomie is impossible to ignore.

Artist Seth Turner has good reason to keep his distance. Losing his wife after only a few years of marriage has left a deep scar, even if he is still happy to spend a semester teaching art classes at the New Horizons Boys Ranch for troubled teens. Despite nursing her own wounds, Tia finds her curiosity piqued by enigmatic Seth, whom she recognizes as something of a kindred soul. Maybe spending Christmas together could be another game changer for both of them—this time, for good.

Note: An autographed copy of KEEP ME WARM AT CHRISTMAS and Reading with Brenda Novak Issue No. 4 will be included in October's Brenda Novak Book Box.

Sometimes the biggest emotional risk can reap the best romantic reward…

After everything she worked for is destroyed, pediatrician Natasha Gray is determined to build a new life. Divorced, bankrupt and suddenly a single mom, she’s ready to start over in Silver Springs—on her own. She certainly doesn’t need help from Mack Amos, the man who’s already broken her heart twice.

Although Mack has had feelings for Tash since they first met, too many things have stood in the way. He’s always given her the support she needs, though, and he’ll do the same now. Even if the desire he wrestles with threatens to undermine his intentions…

But her heart is not the only reason Natasha wants to keep Mack at bay. More time in her life means getting closer to her son, which could lead to a revelation neither of them is ready to face.

Note: An autographed copy of WHEN I FOUND YOU and Reading with Brenda Novak Issue No. 3 will be included in July's Brenda Novak Book Box.
