A psychiatrist once told Stella Montgomery that perception is reality. That same psychiatrist told her many other things, too. Those weren't important. What was important colored her reality: psychosis. One simple word. It colored many years of her life, until she finally got it under control. The shadows, that harbored things best left alone, grew smaller. They stopped moving. Fantastical creatures, found in small sunbeams and hidden pockets withdrew into their world. Her world had a lot less color without them. Yet, despite the years of fractured reality, she survived. Stella achieved her goals and continued to work towards new ones. She was thirty. She was alive. Then one woman walked into her life, dropped life changing news in her lap, and walked away. Once more, Stella has one chance. And the stakes have never been higher. Runner up in the general fiction category in the Earnesty Writing Awards 2019. Cover by w_nnie! And my thanks to them.

After discovering a place full of other teenagers like him, Ethan feels reassured. Until the day it all starts to go downhill. When Cyrus, the leader starts acting weird, and a strange new Hatchie arrives, Ethan and his friends struggle to unravel the clues buried deep underneath all of the lies, told and passed around.

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.
