Covenant by John Minigan
How do we become entrenched in the beliefs we hold and what, if anything, can get us to walk away when those beliefs lead to chaos and destruction? Jordan’s mission to infiltrate and report on an apocalyptic religious community has ended in disaster. Questions from an unseen interrogator trigger and inform Jordan’s memories of her time undercover, force her to confront the series of choices she made, and decide whether the beliefs that guided her mission are any less dangerous than the beliefs of those in the group.
A Southern Fantasia by Julie Pearson Little Thunder
In 1897 Alabama, two Slave spirits—one African-American, one Indigenous—watch over a rural community that includes Okcate, a half black/half Muscogee Creek woman. When she and a white man fall in love, the Spirits' desire to fend off threats from a caste-based society upsets the precarious balance of their own limbic status.
The Puck Project by Dan Borengasser
For her master’s thesis, Nora wants to write about Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, but she struggles to come up with an original take on it. She finally decides to compare the traditional love in the play with a love that can be artificially induced like with Puck’s magic potion—or possibly through the techniques of modern neurobiology. As it turns out, her approach may be a little too original.
Marilyn Monroe in the Desert by Barbara Blatner
When Marilyn Monroe finds herself lost in the desert, can she overcome death with the help of two blind wanderers? Marilyn Monroe in the Desert is a Magical, Comical Dream Quest.

Beautiful Findings by Germaine Shames

Winter Rules All Summer by Tom Lavagnino
Coming October 8, 2024
Four friends habitually play golf every Sunday morning, with a set-in- stone tee time of 9:36 AM. But when one of their number doesn't show up (and they can't track him down), and a random golfer from the "wait list" gets assigned to their foursome (and inveigles his way into the group), the three are forced to deal with some very real truths and ultimately confront a complete and total re-definition of the term “friendship.”
