HARD NEWS
by Alix Christie
This beautifully crafted mystery takes reporter Kathryn Quinn home again to northern California where she spends a six-month "stress" leave from her post at the Boston News-Record.

The myriad characters and lush California setting are palpable, and snippets of other journalists' filed stories on the case make a profound comment on the nature of truth in reporting. The author's explorations into journalistic ethics and procedure are as riveting as the murder case itself.

RHYTHM: A NOVEL
by Robin Meloy Goldsby
Meet teenage drummer Jane Bowman. She’s fifteen, funny, and wounded by the loss of her famous percussionist mother. Robin Meloy Goldsby’s touching and humorous coming-of-age musical odyssey invites us to tap our toes in time to Jane’s powerful music—cheering her on as she mends her shattered heart, finds her groove, and discovers the tragic beauty of human resilience.
“Goldsby, who marries the pathos of her plot line with the whimsy and near-magical-realism of her characters, deserves comparison with John Irving, a modern master.” Marion Winik, NPR commentator and author of First Comes Love. (Look Inside! on Amazon)

FUTURE FREAKS
by Sheila Reading
Tre Barringer is under suspicion after a close friend of his, Flip, is nearly killed while playing a full-immersion video game with his log-on. Before he can be questioned by authorities, he receives word that his estranged grandfather has died on the moon. Tre must present himself to the board of his grandfather's company, or he will loose his inheritance. On the run from federal agents and being pursued by hired cyber assassins, Tre must use all his gifting to reach the moon alive. Along the way, the fates of five individuals become entwined, as circumstances began to herd them together for a climactic cyber show-down. Future Freaks plays out in a highly futuristic, cyber-suffused, world that’s been both benefited and corrupted by extremely advanced genetic engineering and neural networking that allow for the creation of inner-scapes and fantasies-into-action that go beyond anything computer-“virtual” imaginable today.
