Okie's fifteen. She lives in New York. She's got a few problems: she's failing geography, her dad's a wimp, and her mother, Sumatra, is a stone cold bitch. But things get a lot worse when Sumatra turns into a zombie and eats Okie's dad. Clio, Okie's grandmother, lives in Toronto; but since the zombie apocalypse, Toronto's a lot further away than it used to be. Clio suggests that Okie transport Sumatra across the border, because family is family. But coaching Okie by cellphone isn't easy, and Clio has some zombies of her own to contend with. Luckily she has some garden tools. Naomi Alderman and Margaret Atwood team up for this unusual two-hander. Encompassing love, death, sex, and the meaning of family, The Happy Zombie Sunrise Home will surprise, delight, and convince you of the vital importance of keeping ready supplies of rhubarb and mini-wieners in your freezer at all times. The story unfolds beginning October 24.

A journey through this Central American nation in search of its true and unique identity.

At the end of Reynolds Street, this castle has been there for more than a hundred and fifty years. It used to be the private residence of Nelson Gilbert Reynolds in 1859. He was the sheriff of Ontario County. Of course he spent a fortune at the time to build it. It wouldn't otherwise be the largest private dwelling in Canada until Casa Loma was built in 1914. Today, this castle is a private boarding girl school with students from all over the world. Laughter are shared, some tears are secretly shed. Who knows their sorrows, who knows their pain? Who knows their dreams and who shares their love? Perhaps the trees, the flowers, the squirrels, or maybe and the birds? For they overheard all conversations that are most private. ****** This is a collection of inspirational Short Stories
