  Awop Bop Aloo Mop - Little...

  As much music history as biography, Awop Bop Aloo Mop celebrates "Little" Richard Wayne Penniman, who burst onto the American scene in 1955 with his mega-hit "Tutti Frutti." Almost by himself, Little Richard wrote the anti-rules and poured the concrete for the foundation of a new musical art form he created. Alan Freed would call it "Rock & Roll." Dubbing himself "The Architect of Rock & Roll," Little Richard was known for his wild, flamboyant performances and outrageous costumes. He was one of the first artists to make the androgynous look popular, and his influence could be experienced in the music and performances of Mick Jagger, The Beatles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, James Brown, and David Bowie. But Little Richard also had demons he struggled with throughout his career—his complicated relationship with his sexual orientation, and its effect on his faith. 
   
   
   
  He helped solidify The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Billy Preston, and The Beatles as major acts who used his onstage antics for their success. A terrible car crash sidelined Little Richard for months, causing him to miss his own induction into the first Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 for his contribution to music. But he later appeared in movies, television shows, and tours, showing everyone why he remains the "Originator, the Innovator, and the Architect of Rock & Roll."

  Recluse Sophie Vanguard's winter cabin retreat turns ominous when blue flowers mysteriously appear. They're everywhere. On her front porch, in kitchen cabinets, and even on her pillow. It isn't long before chilling whispers echo in the halls, and her journal repeats seven unsettling entries.  
  Enter the bloodied and beautifully eccentric Ly Thi Ren. Though Ren seems familiar, Sophie refuses to believe the girl's insistence that they are trapped inside a book. 
  In a land of fiction, truth and lies blur together, clear decisions are marred by doubt, and shared family trauma lurks just below the surface. 
  Can Ren and Sophie make it out alive? Or will they end up nothing more than words inked in blood and memory?

  “There’s Always a Loophole.” 
  Months after the Ahedrian murders, Emery Luple’s back in Seattle living his normal life. Which is anything but normal. As an incarnate—an urban legend come to life—his day job is to debunk the very existence of his kind to keep them safe from the world at large. 
  So when he’s contacted to debunk a legend about a gateway to the underworld in a local cemetery, Emery never stops to consider he might be in over his head. He’s more concerned with trying to keep date night plans with Caden while contending with the return of ancient enemies, his own unpredictable powers, and incarnate abductions. 
  But people start dying, and Emery and those he loves are in danger. As events begin to snowball out of control, he realizes he’ll need to find a solution—or at least a loophole—to save Caden and himself from horrible deaths.
