Book Description
Issue eight is an expedition, a road trip. We follow the breadcrumbs of spilled sentences from the Deep South, where Terry Barr questions his relationship with his heritage, his soil and his child, to the cluttered streets of India with critically acclaimed screenwriter and actress, Radha Bharadwaj, as she peeks under the covers of sibling love and rivalry. We gather roots and feathers with C. Malcolm Ellsworth in Farmer's Daughter. We eavesdrop on faith, feminism and femininity in taxi back-seats on the roads of Uzbekistan and Egypt with Kristen Hoggatt. Issue eight peeks through the cracks of Labor Day bedrooms and allows us to spy, for just a moment, on other people secrets and stories.

Book Description
Six “perfect murders” by Margery Allingham, Dorothy L. Sayers, and other Golden Age Mystery authors of the Detection Club—plus an essay by Agatha Christie. Founded in England in the 1930s, the Detection Club brought together an impressive array of Golden Age Mystery authors. Their projects included The Floating Admiral, a whodunit in which twelve different writers contributed individual chapters, as well as Ask a Policeman, another collaboration in which the mystery writers swapped detectives to solve a murder. In Six Against the Yard, a half dozen mystery masters—Margery Allingham, Father Ronald Knox, Anthony Berkeley, Russell Thorndike, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Freeman Wills Crofts—each create a perfect crime, a seemingly unsolvable mystery. The stories are then analyzed by Ex-Superintendent Cornish, C.I.D., a real-life retired police detective, to see if they would indeed stump Scotland Yard. This edition also features an afterword by inaugural Detection Club member Agatha Christie on a true unsolved case of arsenic poisoning in Britain in 1929.

Book Description
Hope Townsend has spent long years searching for the brother she was brutally separated from when their mother was murdered. Now, thanks to help from a mysterious source, she’s found him deep in the Medicine Bow Mountains on the remote compound of the notorious White Kingdom Brotherhood motorcycle club and prison gang—a viper's nest of drug runners, murderers, and thieves. The only person who can help her is one of the club’s most lethal members—a man who goes by the road name "Mad Dog." Colorado's infamous Wall Street hacker, Max Cameron, served five years of his twenty-seven-year sentence before being recruited by the Red Team. Now a seasoned operative, Max has gone under cover in the motorcycle club of the white supremacist prison gang that befriended him in jail. His mission was simple until Hope Townsend, a female mechanic, came along and gummed-up the works. Nothing about Hope is as it seems, and Max struggles to keep her out of danger…and out of his heart. When his team finds evidence she’s working for their enemies, Max will have to decide where his loyalty lies: with his team or with the woman he loves.

Book Description
"This is one of the absolute best series I have ever read!" - Goodreads Reviewer A swoon-worthy collection of hardworking heroines and their hunky heroes that will pull at your heartstrings and give you all the feels in these small-town, dual POV new adult novels. If you enjoy workplace/boss’s daughter tropes, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, single father, and second-chance love stories with a HEA, this is the series for you! Perfect for fans of Kandi Steiner, Ilsa Madden-Mills, and Abbi Glines. 1 - Whatever It Takes (Sam and Reilly) Stay busy. Stay focused. Sam’s plan to keep the past behind her was simple. But summertime has something else in store. Desperate to escape the harrowing night that irrevocably altered her life, Samantha buries herself in farm work. But when her past comes rumbling back to town in a lifted, cherry-red pickup, it’s all she can do to keep her wits about her. A heatwave, a pair of familiar blue eyes, and a camping trip with friends will leave Sam reeling as she grapples with guilt and her yearning for a happiness she’s not sure she deserves. Everyone knows Reilly, the all-American boy-next-door, had a broken home. He couldn’t wait to leave for the army, but that was before Sam captured his heart, only to break it when he deployed. When Reilly returns to close the darkest chapter of his life, he learns it’s what happened to Sam in his absence that haunts him the most. 2 - Nothing But Trouble (Mac and Colton) Mac despises Colton. Mostly. And an attraction to the boss’s daughter is the last thing Colton needs. But… Mac is smart, sexy, and she can curse like a sailor, but behind her megawatt smile and perfectly pink lips are scars that no one sees. She has sworn away from men when an inked-up mystery man walks into her dad’s mechanic shop, jaw clenched and glaring at her. When a snowstorm sets in, Mac finds comfort in the arms of the very broody, very off-limits man she can barely stand the sight of. Colton knew Mac was trouble the first time he met her, half-naked and cursing at him. And a complicated relationship with his boss’s daughter is the last thing he needs. But winter can be cold and lonely, and Colton finds a certain high-heeled hothead infuriatingly irresistible despite himself. 3 - Told You So (Nick and Bethany) Everyone has demons, and for Nick, she’s a blonde-haired, gray-eyed siren who won’t give him the time of day. Nick is the total package—loyal, hardworking, and he’s got a heart-stopping smile that could make any girl swoon. But true love continues to elude him. For years, Nick has fought his feelings for a certain bad girl, despite her reputation. Bethany likes to party and let loose, but that’s not all she is. Amid juggling college exams and navigating her shattered family, caring for her autistic brother is what she cares about most. But when she’s forced to partner with the one guy who has always gotten under her skin, it’s all she can do to keep her life from crumbling. **Visit author website for trigger warnings.** ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Will make you laugh, cry, fume, and fuss.

Book Description
''Wait. Patient. Now. Not long. Good girl. Wait here. Brave girl. Back in a jiffy. Think of it as a vacation.'' Big Bend, population 500. South Dakota, 1988. Eight-year-old Tiny Mite lives in a ramshackle farmhouse next to her grandfather’s crashed airplane and the pine tree where she trains as a spy. Goddamn is her favourite word. Taking pictures with a homemade camera is her new big thing. She lives with Bee, her apocalypse-obsessed grandmother and Luvie, her hard-drinking great-aunt. And then there’s her mother, Velvet – beautiful, heartbroken, desperate, impulsive. One night, Tiny Mite goes to the basement and hears a cry, but it’s not what she imagines and nothing will ever be the same. Six years later, Clea won’t let anyone call her Tiny Mite anymore. Luvie is sober and Bee’s health is failing. Velvet has been gone for years, and nobody except Bee will even mention her name. Alone, angry and dressed in her grandfather’s old hunting clothes, Clea mopes through ditches and fields taking photographs until she hatches a plan with another loner, a boy with an unspeakable past. This is a story of mothers and daughters. Of people tied by blood and home. Of moments captured and lifetimes lost. And of things never quite turning out as expected. ''Not The Only Sky is not only beautifully and poignantly written, but also provides fascinating insights into life in rural America. Alyssa Warren captures perfectly the profound vulnerability of her characters, particularly that of Tiny Mite and her mother Velvet. Tiny Mite’s voice is highly original, as she gives meaning to a life and childhood experiences that might otherwise be impossible to make sense of.'' – JULIET CONLIN, author of The Uncommon Life of Alfred Warner in Six Days
