"It's all...

Exceptionally brilliant, masterful and rewarding - and here it is from the mighty pen of novelist Jack Engelhard, the highs and lows, warts and all of making it as a writer. Here the sweetness of success is given its proper place, as are the moments of failure and despair, and you will never forget the refrain, especially if you're a writer, -Nobody cares.- Engelhard opens the door into the world of New York publishing with equal access into the world of gambling and casinos. Slot Attendant is a triumph, and an absolute must-read.

Pure Engelhard gem. In this one, The Girls of Cincinnati, he's given us something never thought possible, a coming-of-age saga that's also a sizzling thriller. The plot here is riveting. The dialogue sparkles. What's it about? It's about life. Anyone who's been in love - especially love that appears to be out of reach - will understand what's going on between Engelhard's two heroes, Eli Brilliant and Stephanie Eaton. Anyone who feels the approach of menace will understand what these two must endure when a crazed woman appears on the scene, threatening them both with -a fate worse...

Who is Julian Rothschild? Julian is the star of Engelhard's Prince of Dice and from page one to the end you will love this guy.
He is a hero styled after the lonely gunman who comes to wipe out evil and save the town. Only Julian carries no guns. He carries a pair of dice.
These are...

The Days of the Bitter End...) brings it as only he can in language that is economical, hard-boiled and fast-paced to uncover through the art of fiction the naked truth about a TV news personality who resembles someone we all know.
Brilliant and elegantly done, Engelhard dishes the scoop on this -queen of Chick Power with legs to die for.- What's it like to live under the glare of the spotlight, and to love after the lights go down?
In Engelhard's masterful rendering,...
