  Look for Wreck, the new novel by Catherine Newman—a deeply moving story of laughter and heart, about marriage, family, and what happens when life doesn’t go as planned—Coming October 2025.  
  “Catherine Newman sees the heartbreak and comedy of life with wisdom and unflinching compassion. The way she finds the extraordinary in the everyday is nothing short of poetry. She’s a writer’s writer—and a human’s human.”—New York Times bestselling author Katherine Center 
  “A riotously funny and fiercely loyal love letter to female friendship. The story of Edi and Ash proves that a best friend is a gift from the gods. Newman turns her prodigious talents toward finding joy even in the friendship’s final days. I laughed while crying, and was left revived. Newman is a comic masterhand and a dazzling philosopher of the day-to-day.”—Amity Gaige, author of Sea Wife 
  “The funniest, most joyful book about dying—and living—that I have ever read.”—KJ Dell'Antonia, author of the New York Times bestselling The Chicken Sisters 
  For lovers of Meg Wolitzer, Maria Semple, and Jenny Offill comes this raucous, poignant celebration of life, love, and friendship at its imperfect and radiant best.  
  Edith and Ashley have been best friends for over forty-two years. They’ve shared the mundane and the momentous together: trick or treating and binge drinking; Gilligan’s Island reruns and REM concerts; hickeys and heartbreak; surprise Scottish wakes; marriages, infertility, and children. As Ash says, “Edi’s memory is like the back-up hard drive for mine.”  
  But now the unthinkable has happened. Edi is dying of ovarian cancer and spending her last days at a hospice near Ash, who stumbles into heartbreak surrounded by her daughters, ex(ish) husband, dear friends, a poorly chosen lover (or two), and a rotating cast of beautifully, fleetingly human hospice characters. 
  As The Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack blasts all day long from the room next door, Edi and Ash reminisce, hold on, and try to let go. Meanwhile, Ash struggles with being an imperfect friend, wife, and parent—with life, in other words, distilled to its heartbreaking, joyful, and comedic essence. 
  For anyone who’s ever lost a friend or had one. Get ready to laugh through your tears.

  All Because of a Love Note - How...

  Two words saved my life, two modest, but mighty words—THANK YOU! The most compelling chapter of my story began with a Love Note, one simple handwritten gesture of love, hope and gratitude. 
  My purpose was handed to me in the shape of an envelope, a simple, paper container with a sealable flap that holds a little bit of hope for our everyday heroes. As it turned out, a life of stationery was my destiny, not a stationary life. And it all began on the heels of a broken heart. 
  For the better part of my life, I dreamed of and even prayed for an epic love story, and this is a love story on so many levels. I just never expected it to come at such a great toll. But then again, if you look back through the course of history, the greatest love stories always do. 
  Natalie June Reilly is a freelance writer and every bit her mother's daughter. She is the founder of Nothing but Love Notes, a movement that has inspired a generation of love and gratitude. Somewhere along the way, she unearthed her happy ending, landing the beach, the boy and now the book. None of this would have been possible, if not for God's grace, a mother's love and a handwritten Love Note.

  Mike is a foley artist who traveled from England to work with his friend Dwain—the first foley artist in the porn industry.
   
  On set, Mike finds himself drawn to Chloe, an actress who looks like Marilyn Monroe… if she’d been involved in an industrial accident. The loss of her leg hasn’t stopped Chloe from becoming a top star in Freak Porn.
   
  Inspired by his feelings for her, Mike sets out to bring a touch of artistry to the sleaziest corner of cinema by creating tastefully erotic films featuring abnormally shaped performers.
   
  Dwain, however, sees greater profits on the horizon if they push Freak Porn to its nauseating extreme.
   
  Monster Porn is a disturbing, one-sitting novelette—a transgressive, pitch-black satire of the fetid climate of the porn industry, where ambition rots, art dies, and nothing is too extreme.
