Sinopsis

Gulliver’s Travels meets The Underground Railroad: a road trip through the countryside – and the psyche – by the author of Fifteen Dogs. 
Longlisted for the 2019 Giller Prize 
Botanist Alfred Homer, ever hopeful and constantly surprised, is invited on a road trip by his parents’ friend, Professor Morgan Bruno, who wants company as he tries to unearth the story of the mysterious poet John Skennen. But this is no ordinary road trip. Alfred and the Professor encounter towns where Black residents speak only in sign language and towns that hold Indigenous Parades; it is a land of house burnings, werewolves, and witches. 
Complete with Alfred’s drawings of plants both real and implausible, Days by Moonlight is a Dantesque journey taken during the “hour of the wolf,” that time of day when the sun is setting and the traveller can’t tell the difference between dog and wolf. And it asks that perpetual question: how do we know the things we know are real, and what is real anyway?

    In this smart, swoony, rom-com debut, two college exes find themselves battling against each other—and their unresolved feelings—for a spot in a prestigious literature Ph.D. program.Allison Avery loves to win. After acing every academic challenge she’s come up against, she’s finally been accepted into her dream Ph.D. program at Claymore University, studying medieval literature under a professor she’s admired for years. Sure, grad school isn’t easy—the classes are intense, her best friend is drifting away, and her students would rather pull all-nighters than discuss The Knight's Tale—but she’s got this. Until she discovers her ex-boyfriend has also been accepted. Colin Benjamin might be the only person who loves winning more than Allison does, and when they're both assigned to TA for the same professor, the game is on.What starts as a personal battle of wits (and lit) turns into all-out war when their professor announces a career-changing research trip opportunity—with one spot to fill. Competing with Colin is as natural as breathing, and after he shattered her heart two years ago, Allison refuses to let him come out on top. But when a family emergency and a late night road trip—plus a very sexy game of Scrabble—throw them together for a weekend, she starts to wonder if they could be stronger on the same team. And if they fall for each other all over again, Allison will have to choose between a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and what could be a twice-in-a-lifetime love.Charmingly bookish and unequivocally fat positive, The Make-Up Test embraces the truth that people can sometimes change and grow, even when you least expect it.

    I would give my life to protect him… 
    _____ 
    Hil always felt out of place in his powerful wolf shifter pack. Not only was he gay, but at 20-years-old, he couldn’t shift. That meant that his alpha father had to protect him, or overly protect him. And in the dangerous underworld of New York City wolf packs, that meant that he was a prisoner in his Manhattan penthouse. 
    Wanting to have a life – and his first toes-curling night with a guy – he escapes stumbling upon a bed-n-breakfast in the middle of nowhere. Could it be fate that it’s run by Cali, a hot lone wolf shifter who makes his heart pound and gives him dirty thoughts? 
    Every moment spent with him awakens something within him. And when tragedy strikes and he’s stranded there, Hil discovers all of the things this powerful wolf can do with his rippling body. 
    Hil’s new alpha will sacrifice anything to keep him safe. But when Hil’s dangerous past comes looking for him, could Cali sacrifice include his life? Will Hil’s father’s vicious pack break his heart by claiming another victim? Or will Hil get his happy ending with the smokin’ hot wolf shifter of his dreams?

    A fight for power and scientific enlightenment plagues a planet's inhabitants in the intricate fantasy novel Bellosio. Foreword Reviews (Four Stars) 
    Bellosio was a finalist in the Foreword INDIES Book Of The Year Awards 2024, Fantasy 
    Bellosio is where destiny and divinity collide on a terrestrial planet where life was seeded by an ancient, ethereal being. This creator, known as the “Cog,” has nurtured three distinct primate species, each with their own path and purpose. Yet, as the unseen Cog is revered by many, skepticism brews among the human-like species, threatening to unravel the fabric of their shared existence. 
    Set against the backdrop of a civilization teetering between the late middle ages and the dawn of enlightenment, an inept emperor’s reign is challenged not only by external threats but also by the internal turmoil of succession. His daughter, the unexpected heir, grapples with her destiny, her duty, and the shadow of an assassination plot that could have changed the course of history. 
    “Shekleton has written a truly moving story with good characterization. The visuals are most impressive, and he kept me in his world of believability throughout the story.” – Candace Sinclair, Book Writing Coach and Editor
