On October 30, 2010, in Amazon Kindle, by Editor

Kindle Edition: The Wake of Forgiveness by Bruce Machart

On October 30, 2010, in Amazon Kindle, by Editor

Reminiscent of Kent Haruf’s portrayals of hope amidst human heartbreak and Cormac McCarthy’s finely hewn evocations of the American Southwest, Bruce Machart’s striking debut is as well wrought as it is riveting. It compels us to consider the inescapable connections between sons and their mothers, between landscape and family, and between remembrance and redemption.

It’s been a long journey for Maurice Micklewhite – born with rickets in London’s poverty-stricken Elephant & Castle – to the bright lights of Hollywood.

Kindle Edition: The False Friend by Myla Goldberg

On October 23, 2010, in Amazon Kindle, by Editor

Kindle Edition – Dogfight: A Love Story by Matt Burgess

On October 22, 2010, in Amazon Kindle, by Editor

Matt Burgess’s debut novel is a beautifully made, street-smart novel that is both funny and disturbing. Written with an almost furious energy, Dogfight has an amazingly well-rounded cast of characters and a plot that leads up to a violent and probably inevitable climax.
