A wickedly funny debut in which the niece of a legendary and enigmatic writer forever alters the life and work of a young student writing about—and desperately searching for—inspiration. Anna Brisker is a 29-year-old graduate student in English at Collegiate University who can't seem to finish her dissertation. Her project: an intellectual history of inspiration. Her take: that the way writers and artists describe the moment of inspiration - that it strikes indiscriminately, that it's handed down from on high and entirely out of their control - is really just self-serving bullshit designed to elevate the artist above the rest of us. To Anna, whose academic prowess has never before been in question, inspiration is just another name for good old fashioned work. Plain and simple. And yet, for the first time, Anna has found herself utterly and truly uninspired. Rather than work on her thesis, she spends her days eating strawberry Pop-Tarts and wandering... Views: 648
Life is messy. We take the information that we have at the moment, and we make decisions. Sometimes that choice results in loss and regret.
Madrik and his crew are working on getting the BHB operational. Unfortunately, the day before the Grand Opening, the building with a mind of its own decides to add a new room. Brick walls and floors, smooth stones set in the walls. No one seems to have a clue what’s going on.
Then people start wandering in. Some in sorrow, some in a celebration of life, they each want to leave something at the Remembrance Wall.
Because who else can you trust to hold your treasured memories? Views: 648

Riley was living the dream. Running her own business, being her own boss, and finally moving into her own place. Things couldn't be any better, well, with the exception of catching Carter Miller's attention. If only the sexy man next door would ever make his move. Maybe she'll just have to nudge him along? Carter was in deep. Holding in his feelings for Riley was becoming too difficult. Especially when his brother's wedding was less than a month away and he was forced to work one-on-one with the woman who made his body, mind, and heart betray his better judgment. Views: 648

The roots of the Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency reach back to the 1980s in the little town of McGill, Georgia—where Stella Reid and her seven grandkids enjoy some spooky Halloween fun and stumble into murder . . . It doesn't take cash, just some good old-fashioned creativity, to turn a pillowcase into a ghost costume or a trashcan into a suit of armor. So even if she has to stick to a budget, Stella Reid always makes holidays like Halloween memorable for twelve-year-old Savannah and the rest of her grandchildren. After joining the other townspeople for trick-or-treating and the annual parade down Main Street, Granny Reid and the kids head to Judge Patterson's antebellum mansion, where a corn maze awaits. Most of the youngsters are too terrified to make it all the way to the middle. It's lucky for them, because when Savannah and Granny get there, it proves to be even scarier than they expected—half buried in the mud at the center of... Views: 647
In the Appalachian town of Bone Gap, Tennessee, backwoods justice is more than just blind. It's swift, silent, and shockingly personal. Especially for Irish Traveller turned deputy sheriff Brynn Callahan . . . "Hear No Evil." The first message is found in a playground. A few feet away, a pair of human ears hang from the monkey bars. Deputy sheriff Brynn Callahan isn't sure what to make of this grisly scene. Do the ears belong to a murder victim? And if so, where is the body? One thing Brynn is sure of: the earring on one of the earlobes belongs to a man she met at a party the previous night. . . "Speak No Evil." The second message is discovered next to a human tongue on a park pavilion. Once again, no body is found. Brynn can't help but wonder if the crimes are rooted in the town's long-simmering tensions between Bone Gap locals and the barely tolerated Travellers who've settled there.... Views: 647
