Release Day: So Clever You’re Thick

We are excited to announce the release of So Clever You’re Thick by Cathleen Davies, the fourth book in the Tales for Well-Dressed Cynics and Optimistic Ragamuffins series!

A great, sad boy once sang: “I’m so happy ’cause today I found my friends. They’re in my head.” I related to this great, sad boy, so I looked for friends in my head too.

I found them pretty easily, pinched their feet between my fingers, pulled them out my ear, and tipped them over like salt-shakers. Stories fell onto my writing desk and built into a mountain. They ranged from strange, to sad, to stupid. They became my Cheeky, Bloody Articles.

Two years later, I rifled through the B-Sides, gathering up stories that hadn’t made the cut the first time ‘round because they needed a trim and tidy. I looked them in the eye and said, “I know you’re not the greatest, but it’s your time to shine.” Then I looked at my far smaller mountain of newly written stories, so youthful and naive in their school uniforms, so much left to learn. I put them on the page with all the B-Sides, and I thought: “Okay, you know, this might be something.” That something is So Clever You’re Thick.

In my newest collection of short stories, you will follow clichés down a rabbit hole: depressed clowns, virgin cheerleaders, masturbating teenage boys, and manic pixie dream girls. Hear them speak and watch them swallow. They have so much they’re dying to show you.

“There exists a rare breed of storyteller who seamlessly intertwines the macabre with the comedic and crafts stories that both chill the spine and tickle the funny bone.” — World’s Best Magazine

Release Day: Running Wild

We are excited to announce the release of Running Wild by Mimi Francis, the sixth book in The Loves of Lakeside series!

He’s the one man she was never supposed to want—now he’s the only one who can help her fight for everything she loves.

Not only is Cherry Ridge Teddie Calloway’s home, it is her birthright. She has poured everything into keeping the ranch running, and she exceeded everyone’s expectations. When she discovers her father is going to sell it off to the highest bidder, Teddie isn’t afraid to get a little dirty to save it. But convincing a stubborn retired army colonel she’s capable of running the ranch isn’t easy, especially when the only person who seems to believe in her is the maddeningly handsome ranch foreman with a jaw that could cut granite and dark blue eyes that see right into her soul.

Wyatt Dawson has always tried to keep his distance from the boss’s daughter. Off-limits and untouchable, Teddie was the line he swore he wouldn’t cross. Until he did. Now he’s fallen hard for the one woman he’s supposed to stay away from, and there is no turning back. Wyatt can’t tell her no, not when it comes to their relationship or Cherry Ridge. He wants to help her save the ranch—but only if she’s willing to admit she needs him. All of him.

With her childhood home on the line, Teddie is determined to save the ranch and her birthright. But working side by side with Wyatt means the sparks are hotter than ever, and the white-hot chemistry between them can’t be wrangled. Holding onto Cherry Ridge means taking a chance on a love that’s been running wild for far too long.

We are excited to announce the release of Brothers Divided by PC Nottingham, the first book in the Gnaverworld: Grove Guardians series!

Invaders’ flags fly over the holy city, casting twin brothers Sanu and Jab in their shadow.

They want to win freedom for their countryrodents, but as orphaned twelve-year-old squirrels, they feel more helpless than ever.

Sanu vows to train with their dad’s scimitar to fight the occupying enemy. He hears rumors that a great liberator has an army coming to save them. Sanu plans to join them, and his wimpy brother won’t get in his way.

Jab is left with their mother’s prayer rock and holy books. He can’t believe his reckless twin wants to charge into the fray and get himself killed. If everyone could sit down and talk out their differences, the invaders would surrender the holy city and go home.

War stretches its dark paws over Sanu and Jab’s hometown, and, caught in crossfire, they watch each other fall in battle. Both twins believe the other has died, and each is saved by soldiers from opposite camps. Joining those he once called enemy, Sanu works toward peace in Jab’s memory. Enraged by the loss of Sanu, Jab trains with a crossbow to avenge his brother and enact justice on the colonizers.

They are BROTHERS DIVIDED.

Release Day: Right Kind of Wrong

We are excited to announce the release of Right Kind of Wrong by Mimi Francis, the fifth book in The Loves of Lakeside series!

A flirty bar owner and a shy librarian discover that love doesn’t follow the rules—it rewrites them.

Nate Garin has a reputation in Lakeside, Montana—and it’s not just for pouring the best whiskey in town. Charming, smooth-talking, and annoyingly handsome, Nate has never met a woman he couldn’t charm… until he literally runs into his quiet, book-loving neighbor, Faith Levine. She’s everything he’s not: introverted, practical, and completely immune to his charms—or so he thinks.

Faith Levine prefers fictional heroes to the real ones who always seem to let her down. But when a late-night run-in sends her sprawling into Nate’s life, she discovers there’s more to the notorious bar owner than flirty winks and late-night encounters. He’s attentive, surprisingly sweet, and has a protective streak that turns her carefully guarded world upside down.

As coffee dates turn into slow-burning desire, Nate and Faith must navigate nosy townsfolk, personal baggage, and the fact that opposites really do attract. But falling for each other means letting go of their pasts—and trusting that, sometimes, the right kind of wrong just might be the perfect match.

Risu must lead a rebellion.

Risu returns home to warn her people that the coal-hearted Blodtorstig sails for Kinoumi’s shores. The island is unprotected, and all attempts to bolster their defenses have failed, sabotaged by their island’s own leader. Juggling uneasy alliances, Risu finds that it is up to her to alert the cities to the impending danger, even if it means she must defy those who stand in her way.

Blodtorstig will stop at nothing until Kinoumi falls under his iron paws. Major cities lie in unrest, easy targets for the approaching invader. Rumors abound that some nobles will pledge themselves to him in exchange for wealth and protection. If Risu can’t convince the faithful to turn on their lords and prepare for the upcoming fight, the starvation and ruin that has plagued the other islands will devour Kinoumi.

Release Day: Witch of the Crimson Coven

We are excited for the release of Witch of the Crimson Coven by Maria DeVivo!

A chance encounter on the roadside leads to a detour into a world more dangerous than she can fathom.

Trixie is a teenage runaway from Indiana—one of many young girls in the 1960s looking to venture west to escape their abusive homes or seek fame in Hollywood. Along with her best friend Cyrinda, she hitches a ride on a cold spring night with a handsome stranger named Trent who seems to be pointing her in a direction she never even considered.

Rather than settle in a big city with unknown dangers, the mystery man tells her of a very old friend of his named Barbara who shelters young runaway girls and keeps them safe from those who would prey upon their innocence. What Trixie doesn’t realize is that sometimes things are not always what they seem, and what lies ahead may be more than she can handle.

Inspired by true events, Witch of the Crimson Cove continues the Dawn of the Blood Witch series!
