The Someday Daughter (2024)
Ellen O'Clover
"Ellen O'Clover has given us a page-turner filled with drama and romance. Audrey's story gracefully captures not only the complicated moment when a daughter understands that her mother is just as human as she is, but the fumbling journey of figuring out who we really are - not just who we think we should be."
thumb
Transmutation (2021)
Alex DiFrancesco
"DiFrancesco's characters are not simply reflections of who we appear to be, they are our real selves, the ones we try so very hard to keep hidden. These stories lay them bare and demand that we acknowledge them in all of their wondrous imperfection. Grimy, raw, and glittering with truth, these are portraits of the human heart."

Probation (2010)
Tom Mendicino
"Probation is the rare novel that dares to take the reader on a journey through the dark night of the soul. An unflinching look at the dark side of self-discovery, it is ultimately a story of transformation and the worlds of possibilities hidden within each of us."
