Jennifer Ellis - In the Shadows of the Mosquito Co

$1.00

In a world torn apart by economic collapse, Natalie and her husband Richard establish an island of relative safety on a communal farm. Death—by starvation, raiders, and sickness—stalks them daily, and their survival hinges on working together for the common good. But in a lawless land with no shortage of suffering, good is a malleable concept.

As the constant grind of survival and the frictions of farm politics expose the rifts in Natalie and Richard’s marriage, Natalie finds herself seeking refuge in the company of Richard’s twin, Daniel, a solitary man with little interest in politics.

In the face of ongoing external threats and simmering internal divisions, Natalie, Richard, and Daniel must each map the boundaries of their own loyalties and morality. In the Shadows of the Mosquito Constellation is a story of adventure, politics, and love in a brave new world where the rules have both changed, and stayed the same.

Steve Justice - Altered Egos: A Collection of Shor

$2.99

Altered Egos is a collection of nine short stories written by Steve Justice during his early years as a writer, some originally written as early as 2000 but since re-written or polished for this collection. This series features a number of experiments in different writing styles and genres as Justice believes short stories provide the opportunity for a writer to push his or her boundaries and try something new. 

With stories ranging widely in setting and tone, including dystopian futures, a campus comedy, a tragedy, a fable and an absurd surrealist story, this collection provides a little bit of everything and, the author hopes, a lot of entertainment! 

Originally launched on the 4th March, this collection was withdrawn by the author in May as he wished to further work on it. It is now re-published as a second edition with two additional stories, new formatting and a new cover.

Susan Taylor Chehak - Smithereens

$7.99

Los Angeles Times Bestseller. International Association of Crime Writers Hammett Prize Nominee. 

"Vivid [and] intense SMITHEREENS has brooding, ominous atmosphere, sexual awakening, loss of innocence, murder. It could be described as a gothic coming-of-age novel, but it´s far too good to lend itself to any label. Susan Taylor Chehak is a meticulous writer, an evocative stylist whose mastery is evident on every page." —The Boston Globe 

Set in the heartland of America, this novel pairs two unlikely friends in a dark tale of seduction and murder. It is May Caldwell´s sixteenth summer, and life couldn´t be more dull in Linwood, Iowa. Vaguely suicidal and haunted by half-remembered scenes from her early childhood, May is a girl waiting for her life to happen. And happen it does with the unexpected arrival of Frances Anne Crane, a.k.a. Frankie, a girl with too much past and nothing to lose. Together they seduce an older man as Frankie awakens all that May has been holding inside: the mystery of her uncle Brodie´s illicit past, the painful truth of her grandparents´ slow dissolutions, and her own emerging sexuality. Where Frankie leads, May follows, and what´s left is a murder no one can pin, a family´s buried past resurfaced in a wild night of mayhem, and May´s safe world blown to smithereens in this unforgettable tale of betrayal and desire.
