Reconsidering Happiness
Leaving her New England family and bakery job to pursue a new life in Des Moines, restless twenty-three-year-old Vivette corresponds with a fellow seeker of a meaningful life throughout a cross-country journey marked by secrets, decisions, and compromises shared over pool tables, postcards, and shots of whiskey. Original.
Whiskey, Etc
Strolling like a possum through neighborhood yards, Sherrie Flick takes it all in: the paperboy seduced over a glass of milk; the dinner prepared for a dead man; the boy on the foyer floor considering a spray of yellow paint. In Whiskey, Etc., it's the particulars that draw you closer-the stained coffee cups, curled-up dogs, wood-burning stoves and canoes snug in their sheds-to a muddled loneliness housed behind crystalline windows. To follow Flick's cowboy-possum saunter across these dazzling short (short) stories is to visit life, desperate and languid and dolefully funny, where it happens.

Blue Winnetka Skies
Fiction. Go west with this cowboy movie novel. MacLean recreates the road book and reimagines archetypes of the American West, mixing cyber espionage, marital failure, teen anarchy, and film violence. At once a page-turning mystery, an anatomy of friendship, and a postmodern homage to screen classics. "A witch's brew of marital failure, cyber espionage, teenage anarchy, and the violence of the American Western"--Eugene Garber.

How Far I've Come
"I'm enthralled by the deadpan weird found in so many of Kim Magowan's stories, where the strange doesn't so much intrude upon the real but rather insist it is the real. How Far I've Come is such a smart, moving, funny collection, by a writer who never fails to thrill and surprise me." -Matt Bell, author of Appleseed "Kim Magowan's new collection circumnavigates the tense world of fractured relationships. We're inside and outside, straddling and stomping away from divorces and affairs and threesomes with lapsed Christians. It's such an achievement, all the longing and lust stretched between two covers. I couldn't put it down." --Sherrie Flick, author of Thank Your Lucky Stars "I learn so muc...
