The author of Mixed In returns to her “wonderfully unique dystopian setting . . . [in] a fast paced, sexy, drama that will keep the pages turning” (InD’tale). Chemist Cali Van Winkle and genetically modified “Icon” Eve Whitehead compete as Team Beautiful and Damned for the opportunity of easier lives in their tightly controlled society, but their assignment is garbage—literally. The women must find practical uses for Cochtonia’s putrid sewage lagoon, the WasteBin, a remote area where garbage and hog waste overrun everything. It’s a disgusting task until Cali and Eve discover something very rare living near the WasteBin: virile males. Suddenly their assignment isn’t so rancid, and the very thought of experiencing true love becomes their motivation, but there’s far more to Crisper males, Remmer and Layal, than they’re willing to admit. After all, the males are genetically modified erotic escorts. When the men and women are separated by a strange chain of events, the women must focus on winning the competition and gaining the status that will allow them to be with their men—if they can find them. “The author introduces an entertaining cast of characters, while warning us of what could be.” —Lee Joanne Collins, author of Who Cares About You? If you like Megan Lynch, Jack Hunt, Robert J. Crane, James D. Prescott, and Grace Hamilton, you’ll love this unique and fun dystopian adventure!
First in the electrifying series set in “a dystopian future that feels relatable and real . . . Wonderfully entertaining” (InD’tale). When Catrina moves to Cochtonville to work as a chemist for Cochton Enterprises, she has no idea how dangerous her life is about to become. A chance meeting with Ulysses, owner of the Union Station bar, plunges her into a world of illegal condoms, vibrators, and art. As their loneliness draws them together, they become allies in what will become the fight of their lives in the sexually repressive and culturally backward dystopia. Catrina’s invention, No Regrets—a scanner to test for pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections—brings increased scrutiny from the town’s Vice Patrol, made worse by an ambitious new agent who hangs around Union Station and takes up with Ulysses’s vindictive ex. Catrina’s relationship with Ulysses and her company’s new products put them both in peril as she begins to understand the dark side of her employer, society, and science without humanity. But science is all she’ll have to spare the men of Cochtonville a mortifying fate and to save the life of Ulysses. If you like Megan Lynch, Jack Hunt, Robert J. Crane, James D. Prescott, and Grace Hamilton, you’ll love this unique and fun dystopian adventure!

Traces the history of the Amber Room, once housed in a palace outside St. Petersburg, Russia, and the many theories of its disappearance at the end of World War II, and recounts the authors' search and conclusion.
A fascination with childhood unites the artist Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) and the writers Samuel Beckett (1906-89) and Marcel Proust (1871-1922). But while many commentators have traced their childhood images back to memories of lived experiences, there is more to their mythologies of childhood that waits to be explored. They invite us to move away from familiar ideas - whether psychological or biographical - about what a child can represent, and even what a child is. The haunting child figures of Bourgeois, Beckett and Proust echo each other as they show how imagining origins- for a life, for a work of art - involves paradoxes that test the limits of our forms of expression. Art meets literature, profusion meets concision, French meets English, and images of childhood reveal new insights in this encounter between three great figures of twentieth- and twenty-first-century culture. Catherine Crimp holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge and is currently Lectrice d'anglais at theEcole Normale Superieure de Lyon.
To get ahead she'll have to become a man -- and a man, she always thought, never lets love get in the way... Clementine dreams of being a naturalist -- a career that leaves no time for romance. To sneak on an adventurous prospecting expedition, Clementine will have to convince everyone she's a man. A mysterious tonic offers her just that disguise. But "Calvin," as she calls herself now, had no idea what she was giving up. When Wesley, the expedition's gentle preacher, catches her eye, she can't get him out of her head; not his lush lips, wide brown eyes ... or broad chest. Dare she reveal her secret to him, and can she keep her career if she does? Among run-ins with cowboys, natural disasters, and traveling shows, Wesley's most fascinating adventure is meeting Calvin. Though Wesley's betrothed, the cute, clever naturalist threatens to make him fall into temptation...
