Forgotten Places by Johanna Craven

About Forgotten Places by Johanna Craven

Van Diemen’s Land, Australia. 1833.

English settler Grace Ashwell flees an abusive lover in Hobart Town, with six-year-old Violet in tow. In her head, escape is easy: find work in the northern settlements and earn enough for passage home to London.

But the terrain beyond the settled districts is wilder than Grace could ever have imagined. She and Violet find themselves lost in a beautiful but deadly land where rain thunders down mountains, the earth drops away without warning and night brings impenetrable darkness. Deep in the wilderness, they find a crude hut inhabited by Alexander Dalton, an escaped convict long presumed dead.

Hiding from civilisation in an attempt to forget his horrifying past, Alexander struggles to let Grace into his world. When Violet disappears, Grace’s fragile trust in Alexander is put to the test. And while she searches for answers, he will do anything to keep his secrets inside.

Inspired by the true story of the Macquarie Harbour bolters; one of the most horrifying events from Colonial Australia’s bloody history.

Town and Country: Voices from the Mid-Ohio Valley by Carl Parsons

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 Adventures of Compassion: Stories to Harmony by Ali Horriyat

About The Adventures of Compassion: Stories to Harmony by Ali Horriyat

Welcome to a journey unlike any other. The Adventures of Compassion will take you on a global expedition, not in search of buried treasure or lost civilizations, but something far more valuable: compassion.

Ali Horriyat’s childhood was filled with the insatiable curiosity and daring spirit of Tintin, igniting a yearning to explore the world and connect with its diverse people and cultures. That spark transformed into a lifelong journey, taking Ali to corners of the world both familiar and far-flung. Each journey wasn’t just about ticking destinations off a list; it was about forging connections, immersing himself in local stories, and witnessing the triumphs and struggles that bind us all.

But amidst the beauty, Ali also encountered the stark realities of social challenges—poverty, inequality, and injustice that cast long shadows across communities. Inspired by Tintin’s spirit of adventure, he embarked on a different kind of quest: a quest to explore the transformative power of compassion. Each story in this book takes you to a different corner of the world, from bustling city streets to serene rural villages. You’ll meet characters grappling with real-world issues, from environmental degradation to social conflict, and witness how acts of compassion, big and small, can spark change. So open your heart, pack your empathy, and prepare to embark on a journey of compassion in action.

About Delightmares

It’s 1994. Kurt Cobain has just died. Nineteen-year-old poet and ex-carnie Martin Hemlock has moved to Nashville, where he quickly befriends His Assholiness Pope Jas and Chuckie The Plague. Martin helps these two punk-rock gurus start a faux religion: The First Interplanetary Church of The Immaculate Deception. The goal is to make a mockery of all organized religions, and begs a question—is nothing sacred worth a damn?
As the church grows in size and infamy, recruiting more followers of Chuckle called Plaguists, religion turns to war on two fronts. Martin must navigate Nazis, preachers, and murderous Vanderbilt kids in Cadillacs, all while giving outrageous sermons and throwing the wildest parties imaginable. On top of all that: will Martin ever sell enough acid to make it back to Chicago?
