Philip K. Dick Award finalist Washington Post Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of 2018 Abbey Mei Otis’s short stories are contemporary fiction at its strongest: taking apart the supposed equality that is clearly just not there, putting humans under an alien microscope, putting humans under government control, putting kids from the moon into a small beach town and then the putting the rest of the town under the microscope as they react in ways we ope they would, and then, of course, in ways we’d hope they don’t. Otis has long been fascinated in using strange situations to explore dynamics of power, oppression, and grief, and the twelve stories collected here are at once a striking indictment of the present and a powerful warning about the future. “After I read this book, I woke up with bumpy, reddish growths along my spine. They burst, releasing marvels: aliens, robots, prefab houses, vinyl, chainlink, styrofoam, star stuff, tales from the edge of eviction, so many new worlds. Alien Virus Love Disaster is a super-intelligent infection. Let Abbey Mei Otis give you some lumps.” — Sofia Samatar, author of Tender

Abby Maslin shares an inspiring story of resilience and commitment in a deeply affecting new memoir. After her husband suffered a traumatic brain injury, the couple worked together as he recovered—and they learned to love again. When Abby Maslin's husband, TC, didn't make it home on August 18, 2012, she knew something was terribly wrong. Her fears were confirmed when she learned that her husband had been beaten by three men and left for dead mere blocks from home, all for his cell phone and debit card. The days and months that followed were a grueling test of faith. As TC recovered from a severe traumatic brain injury that left him unable to speak and walk, Abby faced the challenge of caring for—and loving—a husband who now resembled a stranger. Love You Hard is the raw, unflinchingly honest story of a young love left broken, and the resilience required to mend a life and remake a marriage. Told from the caregiver's perspective, this book is a daring exploration of true love: what it means to love beyond language, beyond abilities, and into the place that reveals who we really are. At the heart of Abby and TC's unique and captivating story are the universal truths that bind us all. This is a tale of living and loving wholeheartedly, learning to heal after profound grief, and choosing joy in the wake of tragedy.

Abbey's Still is the story of four women, living in two different eras, who must find empowerment within themselves. Melissa is a chef traveling back east to finally settle down. She's looking for independence and success in her own business, although it wouldn't hurt for her to find love in her life along the way. Eventually, she reunites with her old friend Karen and the two of them open up a restaurant together. Abbey and Sally are two women living in the 1920s. While they are thrilled by all of the new modern conveniences of the day, they're not so thrilled with a new set of laws prohibiting alcohol. Abbey's husband responds by building a still that is found decades later by Melissa and Karen. Although they are separated by the span of time, there are parallels and similarities in the lives of these four women. Abbey and Sally must fight for power and independence in a repressive era, while Melissa and Karen each struggle to find success, love and fulfillment in their own lives. The two stories interweave in a compelling manner that makes Abbey's Still a timeless story that is easily relatable to readers of all ages and both sexes. S. Mary Scott grew up in Southern New Jersey and spent most of her adult life living all around the country. Currently she resides in the Finger Lakes area of Western New York. She often uses the area around where she lives as a backdrop for her stories. Her next book will be titled The Shoes. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/SMaryScott

When the great environmental writer Edward Abbey died in 1989, four of his friends buried him secretly in a hidden desert spot that no one would ever find. The final resting place of the Thoreau of the American West remains unknown and has become part of American folklore. In this book a young writer who went looking for Abbey’s grave combines an account of his quest with a creative biography of Abbey. Sean Prentiss takes readers across the country as he gathers clues from his research, travel, and interviews with some of Abbey’s closest friends—including Jack Loeffler, Ken “Seldom Seen” Sleight, David Petersen, and Doug Peacock. Along the way, Prentiss examines his own sense of rootlessness as he attempts to unravel Abbey’s complicated legacy, raising larger questions about the meaning of place and home.
