Fade Into You
This coming-of-age debut novel divulges the life of a Mexican American punk barely surviving high school. Nikki Darling is a self-proclaimed 'stoner chola.' She cuts class, sneaks cigarettes, and crushes on her gay best friend. In dreamy, subterranean prose, Nikki captures the reckless defiance of girlhood - and the youthful insistence that everything will always remain wild, trashy, and free.
Darling Nikki
Millionaire Duncan Johnson has always found it hard to trust his wife, Nikki, since she abandoned her first husband to be with him. Nikki's life is turned upside down when her son, Rayshad, reveals that Chance molested him for years. She's bent on revenge and stages an encounter to lure Chance in. Chance is just as sceptical when his once spiteful ex-wife comes back into the picture, remarried, claiming she's still in love with him. He is right to be wary when Nikki pulls a gun on him. But can she get away with the perfect murder with Duncan hot on her trail?
Elsewhere, California
We first met Avery in two of the stories featured in Dana Johnson's award–winning collection Break Any Woman Down. As a young girl, she and her family escape the violent streets of Los Angeles to a more gentrified existence in suburban West Covina. This average life, filled with school, trips to 7–Eleven to gawk at Tiger Beat magazine, and family outings to Dodger Stadium, is soon interrupted by a past she cannot escape, personified in the guise of her violent cousin Keith. When Keith moves in with her family, he triggers a series of events that will follow Avery throughout her life: to her studies at USC, to her burgeoning career as a painter and artist, and into her relationship with a wealthy Italian who sequesters her in his glass–walled house in the Hollywood Hills. The past will intrude upon Avery's first gallery show, proving her mother's adage: Every goodbye aint gone. The dual–narrative of Elsewhere, California illustrates the complicated history of African Americans across the rolling basin of Los Angeles.

Grounded in the Body, in Time and Place, in Scripture
"In my bibliographies there are no women in the evangelical tradition, and no Australian women scholars." This unique volume addresses this gap, with eighteen biblically rich and academically rigorous chapters by established and emerging Australian women scholars in the evangelical tradition. The authors consider our relationship with the land and Indigenous peoples, neighborhood, embodiment, (dis)ability, abortion, leadership, work, architecture, the media, Song of Songs and domestic violence, and Jeremiah and weaponized rape, and demonstrate recent methodologies such as a social identity reading of Exodus, sensory readings of Psalms and John's Gospel, and discipleship readings of Mary and Martha and the woman at the well. A contemporary Kriol psalm and stories of pioneering Australian women theological students and teachers complete the volume. Valuable for students and teachers across Bible, theology, ministry, and practice subjects, this book is an essential inclusion in any theological library.
