    In suburban Wells Port, things are not what they seem: wild animals appear unexpectedly in backyards, raised garden beds produce fruit in days, not weeks, and a mysterious figure lurks across sidewalks late at night. 
The stories in Starman After Midnight weave an often hilarious and sometimes melancholy spell. Four young boys are terrorized by a wiener dog on their walk to school, but strategize for a safer route. A beer-loving man befriends a likeminded neighbor, only to discover his jovial new acquaintance is a registered sex offender. An elderly Uber driver suspects a young rider is being lured by a night stalker and debates whether he should help her or mind his own business. 
Connecting these stories are two next-door neighbors—Seff and Big Dave—who couldn’t be more different: one a progressive-minded writer, the other a conservative plumber. Their love of beer drinking, backyard philosophizing, and gossiping brings them together. When several pets in the neighborhood wind up missing or worse—dead—Seff and Big Dave monitor their security cameras for the culprit. When they discover a naked man roaming their street late at night, suspicions are raised while hysteria spreads through the neighborhood social media app. What is the connection between the missing pets and this naked man? Seff and Big Dave form a posse of neighbors to find out. 
Moving between humor and surrealism, friendship and grief, Starman After Midnight is a novel told in stories, a collection that adds up to something greater than the sum of its parts. From the quirky imagination of Scott Semegran, Starman After Midnight packs a comedic punch and uncovers the magic that seems possible in ordinary places.

    From near miss to royal kiss—love was just a push away… 
Ever believed in love at first sight? How about love at first push? Because that’s exactly how I collided with Topher one fateful December day. I may have literally knocked him to the ground to save him from an oncoming car, but trust me, it’s me who fell—hard. 
Let’s be real: how could anyone resist someone who looks like a Hollywood heartthrob, with the chiseled charm of Henry Cavill and Chris Hemsworth rolled into one? Add in a swoon-worthy British-like accent, and the way he affectionately calls me “love,” and you’ve got a recipe for romance at its finest. 
But it’s not just his looks that draw me in…it’s how he truly sees me. In a world where I feel safer hiding away—thanks to a past that keeps me off social media and out of the spotlight—Topher provides a warm, inviting bubble that shields us from reality. 
Everything seems perfect until the day he drops the bombshell: he’s a prince. Suddenly, my quiet little world is turned upside down, and I have to navigate royal obligations, unexpected paparazzi, and my own fears about stepping into the limelight. 
Can our fairytale romance withstand the pressures of the outside world, or is this bubble about to burst? 
Perfect for fans of: 
✔️flirtatious banter 
✔️royalty romances 
✔️bookish heroes 
✔️opposites-attract stories 
✔️light holiday romances 
✔️relatable heroines 
✔️'N Sync references 
This single-POV novel is filled with all the sizzling romantic tension and swoons possible without on-page intimacy.
