  Driz aspires to be a great mage but he's done poorly the last few years of his schooling and cannot enter the mage university. Instead he seeks a mentor in the remnants of the once-great magical race of Melcovia, now mostly driven into hiding by the brutal government of dictator Congerson.
  Cory has hidden out in a remote estate in the foothills of the great mountains and sorely misses contact with others of his kind. When he hears a telepathic call from a youth seeking a mentor and master, it seems a dream come true. But will the young man find him? Can he buckle down enough to learn the discipline and control he needs? And can he ever become the true partner and soul-mate Cory has never found? 
  When Congerson's minions and a rogue mage strike the last empowered folk in Melcovia, Driz's family is in dire peril. He must choose between staying to work with Cory or breaking his indenture to try to save his mother and siblings. Which will it be?

  In the four years since losing her wife Annie, Mo Reeves has let grief become her constant companion, watching her thriving career and relationships wither like autumn leaves. When her friends convince her to make a pilgrimage to Annie's beloved hiking trail in Redwood National Park, she agrees—if only to silence their worry. 
   
   
   
  Aspen Anderson knows every trail and tourist that passes through her small town, content to pour drinks by night and guide backpackers by day beneath the towering redwood canopy. But lately, the comfort of her predictable life feels more like a cage than a sanctuary. 
   
   
   
  When these two women collide, their chemistry defies explanation. After Mo reveals the true purpose of her visit, Aspen proposes an unconventional solution: a journey down Redwood Creek that promises Mo one last chance to connect with Annie's memory. But as they venture deeper into the wilderness, both women discover that the path to healing—and love—may lead somewhere entirely unexpected.

  When half-elf Gideon's elf brother Braden runs afoul of a powerful old vampire, Gideon steps in to help him, suggesting it might be a good idea to recruit a dhampir. Reluctantly, because the only one he knows enjoys flirting with his lover, the witch Delilah, Braden agrees. Thus sexy Edan joins the team, and immediately sets his sights on Gideon.
  
  
  Vampire Vicario lives in New Orleans, so the team heads down there, staying at a B&B owned by another witch, Maeve. She agrees to help them, and together they come up with a plan to destroy Vicario. A plan complicated by the fact Vicario's tame sorcerer can see dhampir when they're invisible, thus potentially making it impossible for Edan to take Vicario's head.
  
  
  To succeed in saving Braden will require all their combined skills. At the same time, Gideon is facing a personal battle: how to deal with his growing attraction to Edan. The sex is great, but there is more to a relationship than that, as he well knows. Can the two of them move beyond the physical -- if they survive the conflict with Vicario -- or will their differences tear them apart?

  Things a Bright Boy Can Do

  In Michael Chang's latest, all the world's a vaudeville stage, and this poet is its jester with a knife. 
  Like an elongated diss track, Chang's poems go from flirty to righteous, wrathful to lackadaisical, all in the span of one page.  The  titans  of  pop  culture  and  poetry  wrestle  at  Chang’s  whimsy, their poems a series of flings and retorts at the end of a late-night spree.  
  Like a compendium of American poetics, this collection breezily changes style and mood as easily as a prom queen smiles beneath the crown. With nods to O’Hara and Ashbery, the poems in Things a Bright Boy Can Do flit from the sewage of Americana to the heights of ecstatic experience. Each poem is a playground meant to delight readers before they skip along.  
  With each successive book, Michael Chang showcases a poet at home in the twenty-first century; nothing is too silly or too morbid for the page. When  reading  Chang’s  poetry,  the  madness  of  interpreting  the  social media age suddenly makes sense. You can’t help but join in on the heckling, sticking your tongue out in the face of our strange world. 
  “Michael Chang is back, with their signature irrepressibility: the voice that bubbles with endlessly exuberant wit, encyclopedic pop culture references, playful orthography, and intense emotion. Oh, yes – these poems are in their feelings! Are you here for poetry that can lure Superman, Dolly Parton, and Prince allusions together? Are you up for parataxis with a vengeance? If wordplay and irreverence are music to your ears, tune into Things a Bright Boy Can Do.” – Evie Shockley, author of Suddenly We 
  “Michael Chang’s Things a Bright Boy Can Do pushes and pushes, and then pushes some more. It’s provocative, fearless, and relentless, unafraid to reinvent tone, grammar, and just about everything else that dares to enter the path of Chang’s perception. Things a Bright Boy Can Do is a ride on the back of a new modern language.” – Victoria Chang, author of The Trees Witness Everything

  A one-way stage ticket to the frontier leaves a young woman penniless and alone in Long Grass, Wyoming. With no other hope than to survive another day, she takes up the only profession open to her. Years later she encounters the cowboy she can love, and her first taste of pleasure - and happiness. 
  Cowboys, however, are born to wander, and their kisses are as brief as the lives of young women without family or means. Accepting that her days will be numbered too few, Darlin' escapes into her scribblings where her dreams of freedom can soar over the limitless prairie. 
  When she recognizes her own truth and a chance for love in the longing gaze of a townswoman, will she finally find kisses she can trust? 
  Two determined women in a hostile world save themselves — and each other — in a lyric, sensual love story as only Karin Kallmaker can tell. 
  "It’s an astonishing story, beautifully told. And Darlin’s voice is enchanting. The close first-person narration works like a charm – she feels like a living, breathing person. Somebody with grit and heart. It’s impossible not to cheer Darlin’ on. Never has a fictional character’s Happily Ever After delighted me more." - Lou Morgan's Reviews
