Serena Murphy was losing her mind.

Every night Serena stood on the deck of O'Flanagans Tavern, searching Maine's rugged coast for a sign of her husband's body. Though he was pronounced lost at sea, Alan Murphy still haunted her as only his malevolent spirit could. In the loft above her tavern, Serena hears footsteps pace across her living room floor, yet when she turns, no one is there.

Alan would not let a little thing like death stop him from tormenting her. If she could just find his body, surely this torture would stop.

It had been ten years since Brett Murphy saw his sister in-law, although the separation was by design, to avoid temptation. Now Brett was in Victory Cove, not to declare his feelings for Serena, but to discover the truth about his brother's death. In doing so, he must battle Serena's ghosts, both real and contrived.














War on the Margins (Kindle Edition)
by Libby Cone

Kindle Price: $9.99 & includes wireless delivery via Amazon Whispernet

At the beginning of the Second World War, after the fall of France, Churchill decides to demilitarize the islands in the English Channel, Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark, and allow their occupation by the Nazis because of their proximity to the Occupied French coast. We see the effects of this upon clerk Marlene Zimmer, the child of a deceased Jewish father and Gentile mother. She abruptly leaves her home to avoid registering as a Jew, meets the Surrealist artists and longtime lovers Claude Cahun (Lucille Schwob) and Marcel Moore (Suzanne Malherbe) and becomes active in their Resistance work. After Cahun and Moore are captured by the secret police, she flees and meets Peter, an escaped Polish slave worker. We follow Suzanne and Lucille as they suffer in German military prison, and revisit Marlene as she slowly realizes that the decisions she has made resulted in the imprisonment of one woman and the saving of the life of another.

Seldom does a thin little first book of fiction provide so much reward while fueling such great anticipation. Steve Holt's short stories illuminate the struggles of men and boys to face and to cope with depression, abandonment, and deceit. With spare language and a sure narrative touch reminiscent of Richard Ford's stories, his navigation of the timeless and sometimes self-destructive preoccupations of his male characters evokes power, pathos, and rich humor. Against the backdrop of these coming-of-age stories, the tantalizing excerpt which Holt shares from his forthcoming novel Realworld.com is a startling change in style and form, one which will keep readers turning the pages and asking for more.

Steve Holt depicts a boy's first flight from his troubled family in two coming-of-age stories, Outside and Ballpark, relies on a few pages of spare dialogue to tell a haunting tale of marital deceit in Checkup, and provides a tantalizing first look at his forthcoming novel.














Snow Ball (Kindle Edition)
by April L. Hamilton

Kindle Price: $3.99 & includes wireless delivery via Amazon Whispernet

 Cinder Torley is an intelligent young woman who yearns to escape the stifling yoke imposed by her small town upbringing and unhappy marriage, but that doesn't mean she killed her husband. When he goes missing one night, Cinder quickly learns who---and how few---her friends really are in this darkly comic tale of dueling schemers and incompetents.

The sheriff thinks this might be his only ticket out of back-country law enforcement. Coffee house barista Clark Norris knows a sordid, true-crime story could jumpstart his stalled writing career. Glamorous correspondent Bailey Weems sees a ratings bonanza that can make her a cable news star. And as for Velma and Naomi, who may or may not be part of the notorious Manitoba Six Canadian crime ring, they're only in it for the black market Phen-Fen. The surprising truth about what happened to Cinder's husband will lay waste to all these agendas, but will it prove Cinder's innocence?

Independent Publishing Hall of Fame

Lawrence Ferlinghetti

There is no greater hero for those of us in the indie publishing movement than Lawrence Ferlinghetti. I will be back soon to say more about this, but for now I will just offer this link and the videos below. He will be 89 in a couple of weeks, and he hasn't lost his fast ball.
