Released on June 30, "The Kings of Vegas" invites readers to dive into the world Las Vegas with a sexy, suspense-packed crime thriller!&nbsp;
Succession in Las Vegas! From bestselling writing duo Karen Mack and Jennifer Kaufman comes a sexy, suspense-packed crime thriller, which is currently in development as a television series. Josie King is the prodigal daughter of a powerful casino empire who returns home to take over her family business—only to discover she’s up against the Mob, the Feds, and her own brothers.
When Josie King left Las Vegas in the ‘90s, she never looked back. The daughter of casino magnate Roy King, Josie grew up on the floor of her family’s legendary casino, surrounded by high rollers, big money, and the ever-present shadow of organized crime. But instead of falling in line with the family business, she built a quieter life in Los Angeles as an accountant and single mother.
Now, fifteen years later, her father’s unexpected death pulls her back to Sin City for the reading of his will. Once gathered together, Josie and her siblings learn the terms of their inheritance: they must spend three years working together at the notorious family casino, The Jackpot.
As Josie takes control of the casino’s finances, she discovers that while Roy King was once the most powerful man in Las Vegas, times have changed—and no one is eager to fold. The FBI is asking questions, local mobsters are raising the stakes, rival casino operators are calling her bluff, and even her own brothers want a seat at the table. To keep the King empire from crashing down, Josie realizes she’ll have to go all in.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Stacked with sex, crime, sibling rivalry, and mountains of cash, The Kings of Vegas is an electrifying thriller with a tough and irresistible heroine at the center of the action.

An Exploration of Japanese, Indian, Latin &amp; Jazz Fusion
Reuniting on stage for the first time in more than two decades — and appearing together in the United States for the first time — acclaimed shakuhachi artist John Kaizan Neptune and Grammy-winning ghatam virtuoso Giridhar Udupa come together for an extraordinary evening of music.
Joined by David Neptune on Takeda percussion, Christophe Ambrosino on guitar, and Spencer Hinkle on bass, the quintet explores original compositions shaped by Japanese melodies, South Indian rhythm, jazz improvisation, Latin influences, and musical traditions from around the world.
Across a rare 90-minute performance, the ensemble creates a sound that is at once intimate, adventurous, and deeply immersive. Each performance unfolds as a living conversation where melody, rhythm, and spontaneity meet in the moment.
More than a concert, Roots &amp; Rhythm celebrates musical friendship, creative exchange, and the power of music to connect people across generations, cultures, and borders.
Your presence helps sustain independent live music and meaningful artistic collaboration. We are deeply grateful to the patrons, supporters, and community members helping bring this experience to life.More information on <a href="https://www.rootsandrhythm.live" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">rootsandrhythm.live</a>
