Depths of Destruction by Maggie Cole
It’s a routine mission in Belize. Get in, get out, save the women.
Then I see her photo.
A stirring…an ache…a desire so deep for her heats up my blood and annihilates me.
Then I meet her.
It accelerates my thirst, riling up my inner beast.
Enemies lurk everywhere.
When this is all over, what will be left when all of the secrets are revealed?

About The Half-Known Life: What Matters Most When You’re Running Out of Time:
“I’m going down now,” I said to a young woman a few seconds before the darkness-my first cardiac arrest. As I returned to work as a behavioral coach, it became maddening to hear about all-consuming, everyday problems and misguided priorities while I fought to merely remain conscious.
The Half-Known Life challenges conventional thinking of success, identity, and personal change. Most often, truly profound change happens following events that shake someone to their core-a car accident, death of a family member, or cardiac arrest that pulls them into a moment of clarity. Priorities change when time becomes precious. Problems look different when you have no energy left to give them. Why wait until you’re burnt out or for a life-changing event to occur before getting real about your life? Who are you when all of the accolades and accomplishments are gone? What does how you manage your time say about what’s important to you-about what matters most? Get out of your head and get into your life, before it slips away.

Town and Country: Voices from the Mid-Ohio Valley by Carl Parsons
Town and Country presents a set of ten short stories set in a generally neglected and sometimes maligned part of America—the Mid-Ohio Valley, part of Appalachia yet also part of the Midwest. The region has been home to the historic Burr-Blennerhassett Conspiracy and America’s first oil fields.
It is also the home to many wonderful people who were neither famous nor infamous, just human in the fullest sense–ordinary people struggling with a variety of problems that threaten to change their lives: an elderly widower confronting a life of regrets, precocious children forced into separation, a middle-aged couple facing the loss of their generations-old general store, and many others. I have tried to give a cross-section of their stories in their own voices—some tragic, some comic, some romantic, some nostalgic, and one or two utterly sentimental.

The Ibbur’s Tale by Lenny Abelson
Professor BENJAMIN Dinerstein is more than a little surprised to find someone in his home when he returns from class. As he notes, “I was even more startled, because I realized that she was one of my former students. However, I was far more taken aback when I remembered that she had died a few weeks earlier.”
MIRIAM explains that she is an ibbur. She has come to seek his assistance with the task, a last mitzvah (good deed), she was unable to complete in her short lifetime.
The skeptical professor soon finds himself drawn into a remarkable family saga that began in a shtetl on the outskirts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire shortly before World War One. Miriam’s family has been unaware of a scandal: the sister of Miriam’s great-grandmother had an illegitimate child. Moreover, her Uncle Isidore (aka “IKE”) has stumbled upon evidence that this child might somehow have become a Nazi war criminal, and that the entire family may be in grave danger.
Another character looms over the narrative: a mysterious old woman seen clutching a tarot deck wrapped in a handkerchief. Who is she — and what is she?
Can Benjamin help the ibbur resolve the mystery. More importantly, can they overcome a curse?
