PYNE written by Ingrid Adams
A young thief wrestles against the temptation to steal again, when he
encounters an unusual dog that is seemingly able to determine his
future.
MINERVA'S WAR written by Jennifer Mulligan
The story of a feisty, elderly woman, who feels trapped by the
choices she's made. Confined to a wheelchair in a palliative care
home, she unleashes her anger against anyone within striking distance
of her sharp tongue. It's only when she remembers her younger, wiser,
and gentler self, that she begins to soften and understand that she
can die with grace.
THE BAY LAUREL written by Jan Militello
A social climbing detective veers through Hollywood's glamorous
fasade and gets ensnared in his own dangerous plot to marry a
Hollywood starlet.
