The Unwilling Heiress
Lucy Trahern is in a tight spot. Her father has gone off to America to make their fortune, her employer's son has just compromised her, and unexpectedly she is out on the street on a rainy London night without a farthing to her name. Alone and lost, Lucy takes a chance and knocks at a small gatehouse for shelter from the storm. Inside she finds two interesting old ladies who are happy to help her - but who are not at all what they seem to be! Soon their scheming forces her into an imposture in high society that could see all of them ruined at the touch of a gossiping whisper. This charming story, full of quirky people and tangled incidents, is a tongue-in-cheek comment on society's posturings and an account of the adventures of a most unusual heroine. "A diverting first novel, sure to captivate genre fans." --Booklist

Armadillo
My most impossible ambition has always been to understand human nature. So when I discovered poetry at 17, it naturally evolved into a way to express my puzzling findings. Granted that it is often myself I end up studying (the easiest and nearest subject), the focus has always been to observe and report the quaint, illogical, stubborn and silly things we continually do. The journey has included explorations into odd corners: child abuse, addiction, mental illness, religious fanaticism, and a whole host of other issues that have come up over the years. This book contains 30 years of these observations, originally spread out in 8 chapbooks, plus some bonus material that has never appeared anywhere. Here is the world seen through the lens of a peculiar and unexpected life.
Shattered Windows
Care for a tour through the landscapes of a woman's heart? Here's your ride. Deborah Fruchey's "Shattered Windows" presents us with a chorus of women's voices: some hers, some imagined, some in-between. These short pieces are a trek through many hearts, each unique and somehow so familiar. One page captures keenly drawn despair...while the next is charged with hope...Then we turn the page for more. Fruchey observes each without judgment and with empathy aplenty. Each scenario, each emotion, each person here feels true and painted with a knowing eye. -Richard Loranger, author of "Mammal" and "Unit of Agency"
