PRE-ORDER Higher Education: Chronicles of a Dumpster Fire by Dr. Ashley Oliphant

$18.95

Dr. Livie Green is an associate professor of English at Clary-Smith University and it’s fixing to snap her very last nerve. While Green and her wickedly sharp colleagues attempt to keep the school’s dysfunction from driving them to drink (any more than they already do in faculty meetings), their feckless dean works jigsaw puzzles in his office, and schedules utterly useless meetings to pass the time. Meanwhile, the even more aimless administration attempts to shut down the scandalous—but totally true—underground faculty newspaper that exposes the ineptitude of the institution’s leaders at every turn.

Author of five books and a professor with twenty years of college teaching experience, Dr. Ashley Oliphant drops the mic on academia in this uproariously funny prequel to Jimmy Buffett: A Key West Revival, and offers comedic insight into the unfortunate state of higher education in America today.

PRE-SALE Fearless by Paula Dáil (Hard Cover)

$32.00

Having grown up the oldest of seven children in a motherless, impoverished, Southside Chicago Irish-Catholic family, at age seventeen Maggie Corrigan struggles with two choices: marriage and bearing more children than she can possibly care for, or entering the convent. She decides to dedicate her life to God, but never forgets her roots, or that her mother died in childbirth after too many pregnancies. As the Church’s Vatican II reforms and the wider women’s movement takes hold, she realizes that by labeling birth control as a sin and abortion as murder, the patriarchal Catholic Church is severely endangering women’s lives. Never doubting her vocation, she decides she can no longer remain silent and, no matter the personal cost, is compelled to take up the fight for women’s reproductive rights within the wealthiest, most powerful institution in the world—ruled over by a cabal of middle-aged men with no familial responsibilities. Some label her a heretic and others call her a saint, but everyone agrees that Sister Maggie Corrigan is fearless. Inspired by a true story, Fearless is a gripping and empowering tale about one woman’s perseverance in the face of patriarchal and religious oppression.

But when her career as a college professor becomes a drudgery of meetings and reports, she realizes that academia might not be for her, either. In a leap of banana-colada fueled faith, she heads to Key West, Florida in search of Buffett and a carefree lifestyle. What she finds instead will reshape and revitalize her life and her heart.

The Right Words (Hard Cover) by Meg Rosenthal

$29.95

When a short story contest was announced with publication as the first-place prize, Ember Owens figured it could be the ticket to secure her future. As an added challenge, though, entrants must write their stories with a partner, and choose their genre from a hat. In a cruel twist of literary fate, Ember must now co-write a love story with Matt Callahan, a popular lacrosse player at her school who is incapable of feeling anything and isn’t even an English major!

But when secrets from Matt’s past are revealed, Ember’s carefully crafted walls begin to crumble as she realizes he might not be the unfeeling guy she thought he was. Perhaps writing a love story is in her wheelhouse after all. However, if she can’t make sense of the relationships she’s known and redefine what love is, the contest—and Matt—may be lost to her.

Risky Restoration by E.F. Dodd (HARD COVER)

$25.95

Typing your ex’s name into a search engine is always a crapshoot. But like any gamble, it can pay off big if you find out the idiot who left you is now thirty pounds overweight and missing a tooth. The downside is that you could find out the worthless S.O.B. is still attractive and, even worse, getting married to someone else.

Kez Walsh should’ve cashed out when her last search turned up nothing on her ex, Miller Thompson. But, instead, she goes all in after yet another failed attempt at dating and moving on. Only this time, she turns up a wedding website featuring Miller and his new bride. How is it possible for him to have moved on to the point of marriage while she’s still mired in dating hell? What better way to answer that question than to crash his upcoming high school reunion?

Through a combination of tequila and groveling, she convinces her two best friends to join her on the trip. Only she doesn’t count on meeting sexy and successful Jackson on their first night there. He isn’t spooked by her unorthodox reason for being in town, and doesn’t hesitate to let Kez know he’s the man she needs. Jackson, and her undeniable and unexpected attraction to him, means Kez has to choose between hanging on to the past, or finally moving on.
