  • Muddy the Water

    by Jessica Barrows Beebe and Matt Barrows

    When a popular fishing captain is murdered on his own trawler, everyone in Haversport, Massachusetts, knows the culprit is a young deckhand named Ben Broome, including Detective Lillian Grimes. But Ben has discovered the perfect hiding place: as a reporter writing for the tiny Coastal Packet, a newspaper down in South Carolina. When a half-eaten body washes in, it becomes the biggest story in the paper’s history and brings cunning, charismatic Ben immediate success. But it also leads Grimes closer to the truth. She soon teams up with hungry rival reporter Florence Park to hunt Ben down before he can charm—or kill—his way to freedom. Shown from three perspectives, killer, detective, and reporter, Muddy the Water brings readers inside the newsroom of a struggling small newspaper on the bucolic South Carolina coast and speaks to the concept of identity—and whether anyone ever shows their true self.

  • Spin Cycle

    by Alfredo Botello

    High school math teacher Ezra Pavic is having a rough time. His wife left him, his son barely tolerates him, and now he’s being blindsided by a chapter of life he never saw coming: the emotional spin cycle of parenting his parent. His mother Irene has dementia and it’s exhausting. Caring for his mother is a constant source of frustration, resentment, and guilt. Lots of guilt. In search of others in the same boat, Ezra opens a strip-mall storefront school—APPA (Adults Patiently Parenting Adults). As Ezra learns to handle the personalities of his nine misfit students, he must also navigate the complex feelings he has about his mother, plus deal with his little brother Loomis, a slacker his mom adores. But Ezra hasn’t told the students of APPA that he has a secret agenda beyond just becoming a more compassionate caregiver. It turns out, so does one of his students. Ezra confides the entire tale to his childhood friend Danny as he attempts to sort it all out and stop the spin cycle.

  • A Quest for God and Spices

    by Dean Cycon

    In the year AD 1200, a new pope agitates for a renewed crusade to reconquer Moslem-controlled Jerusalem. European monarchs largely ignore his call, too involved with squabbles among themselves. The pope chooses two men—Brother Mauro, an older monk, and Nicolo, a young, striving merchant—to traverse the treacherous political, religious, and mercantile terrain of medieval Europe and seek out the powerful Prester John, a mysterious king in the Far East who has promised to put his wealth and vast armies to the service of the pope’s crusade.
    Nicolo’s task is to guide Mauro, but a corrupt cardinal has secretly charged the young man with finding the source of the precious spices that ensure the Venetian and Arab trade monopoly. Nicolo’s youthful exuberance, carelessness, and desire to be important jeopardize their mission, while Mauro’s knowledge of scripture and pagan works has not prepared him for the schemes of doges and emirs, clergymen and kings.
