2024 Michigan Notable Book 
 
*** 
 
An Immersive Story of Music, Struggle, and Starting Over from an Award-Winning Author 
 
Michael Sullivan is a talented lyricist and a decent guitarist, but since he was kicked out of his band (and his apartment), he's not sure he'll ever get a record deal. Living with his loser uncle in a beat-up trailer and working a dead-end job, Michael has little reason to hope for a better future. Until the invitation for a swanky New Year's Eve party shows up in the mailbox. It's for his uncle, with whom he shares his name, but his uncle is going out of town . . .  
 
On the effervescent night of December 31, 1989--as the Berlin Wall is coming down, the Soviet Union is inching toward democracy, and anything seems possible--Michael will cross paths with the accomplished and enigmatic young heir to a fading musical dynasty, forever altering both of their futures.  
 
Award-winning novelist Erin Bartels enchants with this story of two lonely souls who have exactly what the other one needs--if they could simply turn their focus from what is ending to what is just beginning. 
 
***

"I was completely absorbed in this book from the first chapter. I sat in my chair and did not get up until I finished it! . . . . Bartels smacks this out of the park."--Interviews & Reviews

    The Christmas Play 
    Tagline: Where every rehearsal hides a secret, and every glance speaks the truth. 
    When Grace Okafor is cast as the lead in a community theater’s Christmas production, she believes she understands what the role requires. Discipline. Precision. Control. Grace has built her career on knowing where the lines are and never crossing them, trusting that the strongest performances come from restraint rather than surrender. 
    Everything begins to shift when Tevin Walker joins the cast. 
    Tevin is confident, observant, and quietly disarming in his presence. From their first rehearsal, the chemistry between them is undeniable, not loud or showy, but persistent. Lines land heavier than they should. Glances linger. Moments repeat, each time carrying more weight. What Grace insists is simply good acting becomes harder to contain with every rehearsal. 
    As the play’s romantic arc unfolds onstage, the space between performance and truth grows increasingly narrow. The theater, meant to hold emotion safely within lights and cues, begins to amplify what neither of them is willing to name. The more convincingly Grace and Tevin portray intimacy before an audience, the more fragile their carefully maintained distance becomes offstage. 
    When opening night arrives, it does more than conclude a performance; it exposes a choice. Grace must decide whether preserving control is worth denying something real. Tevin, faced with his own practiced restraint, must choose whether to remain safely detached or step into honesty without a script to protect him. 
    Set against glowing stage lights, falling artificial snow, and the quiet tension of the holiday season, The Christmas Play unfolds as a tender, slow-burning romance shaped by restraint, timing, and unspoken desire.

    I never rethought my decision to move half-way across the country to be with the most amazing woman I ever met. It was true love.
    She and I went through a lot together. We juggled a house, two businesses, three kids. Sitting down for a quick lunch at the Food Court to reminisce brings up all sorts of memories from the past two decades. Then we turn our thoughts to the future. 
    Note: This short story was originally published in the charity collection, Love Is Proud.

    Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society. 
    In literature the ambition is much narrower.  In order to be known, to be popular, you had to be published.  And for that people had to know you existed and your ideas worth reading.  Obviously for most of humanity’s time people couldn’t read and texts couldn’t be published in any great number. 
    In the 15th Century Gutenberg’s printing press began the revolution to address the second and by the 19th century had gathered pace with startling speed and mass distribution.  Education for the many was brought in to help people understand more of their world and, with new skills, how to have a better place within it.  Now, if the powers that owned the presses and means of distribution agreed an audience would now be able to avail themselves of your ideas, your printed words.  
    In this volume we offer up a small selection of talents from the literary landscape of the North American male author whose time has now come again.

    Original score by Danny Schade 
    Welcome to Wheel: a perfect world without poverty, disease, or want. Tinkered and tuned in every way for maximum order by Rank and Spoke, every child knows her destiny - so long as she can take the neural implant. 
    The defective, whose bodies reject the implants, do not exist. Ghosts. Cyphers. Haunting the edges of society, living on scraps, killed for sport. A lucky few, the Crudrats, scrape out a perilous living cleaning the toxic wastes from the great machines that power the station. 
    Meet Maura. Cypher. Crudrat. Grown too tall, alone in a spaceport with no use for her, doomed to starve. With only her crud-eating murmel and an alien monster to help her, she must find a way to survive, or escape, before they catch her and blow what's left of her life, and her companions, into space. 
    From the pen of Gail Carriger, ArtisticWhispers Productions presents an unabridged full-cast young-adult adventure that brings golden age-style science-fiction into the 21st century, stuffs it full of heart and gives it a finely polished, gleaming edge.
