    ESCAPE WAS NEVER AN OPTION 
    "The end blew my mind. I did not see that coming. . ." ★★★★★ - Readers' Favorite 
    Charly Highsmith is a survivor. Abandoned by her parents, she spent her teens looking after her autistic brother on the bitter streets of Denver, Colorado, with nothing but a jacket and a backpack. 
    But things are better now. Charly and Jacob live in a two-bedroom apartment near a mall, and with the passing of their long-lost father, they've inherited a cabin high in the Rocky Mountains. Charly's eager to go there. Relive the good times she had as a child, running through the forest with Jacob and her cousins. 
    Amanda the Overachiever. Cam the Recluse. 
    But when they arrive, the cabin isn't empty. 
    Barry the Millionaire. Kennedy the Social Media Magnet. Randall the Hunter. 
    Standing by the fireplace, Charly sees that look in her neurodivergent brother's eyes. There are too many people. He's going to run. He's going to burst into the unforgiving snowstorm, sprint around the frozen lake, and hide in the forest like he did when they were young. 
    So much for reliving the good times. 
    Randall the Hunter goes to the window. Opens the curtains. The blizzard rages outside. He says no one is leaving. He says nothing will stop the hunt. Nothing will stop the excursion. 
    "The Excursion promises a one-way ticket on an obsessive journey that is creepy, compelling, and wholly consuming." ★★★★★ - Indies Today

    Winner of the Faulkner Society Award for Best Novel 
    In a small seaside city on the Jersey Shore, three half-siblings confront the death of a distant and bullying patriarch. They now have the chance to imagine new relationships and new futures, ones that would have been near-unthinkable while their father was alive.Caught in their crossfire are the conservative religious communities that border Asbury Park, the longtime locals who have been pushed to the fringe by the shore’s revitalization, and the legendary town upon which the whole world seems to converge. Slowly, however, they come to understand that everything—their future, their happiness—depends on whether they can face themselves.Wise, perceptive, and provocative, Greetings from Asbury Park is a remarkable literary debut in the tradition of great American novels such as Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio. It is a deep interrogation of place that depicts flawed characters as they break through to adulthood, truth, and to a moral relationship with the world.

    That question is put on hold as their enemy, Lorenzo Venizi, continues to test their defenses. And while House Trelane unravels the depth of the Council’s millennia-old deceptions, threats against family members must be thwarted—swiftly and harshly.

    But behind the pulpit, Grace faces struggles of her own.

    "The Canterville Ghost" is a novella written by Oscar Wilde. First published in 1887, it is one of Wilde's earlier works and represents a departure from his more famous comedic plays and witty social commentary. Instead, "The Canterville Ghost" is a satirical ghost story that blends humor, romance, and a touch of the macabre. The story is set in Canterville Chase, an English country house, which becomes the residence of an American family, the Otises. The ghost of Sir Simon Canterville haunts the house, but instead of frightening the new occupants, the ghost finds himself confounded by the pragmatic and skeptical American family. The Otises, rather than being scared, respond to the ghost's attempts at haunting with amusement and practical jokes. 
     
    Virginia Otis, the young daughter of the family, takes a different approach. She is compassionate and tries to help Sir Simon find peace by resolving the issues that tie him to the earthly realm. As the story unfolds, it combines moments of comedy with a deeper exploration of themes like forgiveness, redemption, and the impact of American practicality on traditional British ghostly expectations. "The Canterville Ghost" showcases Wilde's ability to infuse a story with both humor and social commentary. The novella satirizes both British and American attitudes toward the supernatural and traditional ghost stories, providing a delightful and thought-provoking reading experience. Over the years, it has become one of Wilde's more enduring and accessible works, appreciated for its wit and imaginative storytelling.
