  In "A Symphony of Lies: A Dance of Hatred and Love" by Sandra Statham, the intricate and tumultuous bond between stepsiblings Colton and Raylee takes center stage. Set against a backdrop of secrecy and deception, the novel navigates the labyrinthine corridors of forbidden affection, obsession, and the enigmatic intersection of loathing and longing. 
  As the narrative unfolds, readers are drawn into a world where love and hate become indistinguishable threads, weaving a tapestry of raw emotion and primal desire. Statham's prose pulls no punches, plunging readers into the depths of darkness as the characters grapple with their complex emotions and tangled pasts. 
  This is not a tale for the faint of heart; it is a gritty and provocative exploration of the human psyche, where morality blurs and boundaries dissolve. "A Symphony of Lies" promises a riveting journey for those who revel in the intoxicating allure of enemies-to-lovers romance, tinged with a haunting shade of darkness that lingers long after the final page is turned.

  Pineville Trace

  Winner of the Etchings Press Book Prize“A man escapes from prison only to find he can’t separate himself from his past. Pineville Trace is a story of a man on the run. Wes Blake renders the tale with great empathy and in language that’s so lyrical it practically lifts from the page. Blake is a writer to watch.”—Lee Martin, author of the Pulitzer Prize Finalist The Bright Forever"This was an utterly compelling read. Blake’s prose is sparse and simple, whose short, almost broken, sentences sing with enormous power. This is the hollow heart of Frank’s magic, and provides a powerful indictment of the American Dream – what does one become if one can embody and enact all of one’s desires? Blake’s answer to this is captivating, sophisticated, and utterly haunting."—SmokeLong Quarterly Review by A W Earl"A haunting debut! Despite his own certainty that he is a fraud, Frank emerges for the reader as the truest kind of prophet, following a cat named Buffalo and searching for “the old magic.” —Julie Hensley, author of Five OaksWes Blake tells a parallel story in Pineville Trace. Like a photo and its negative, the narrative follows similar characters and situations as Frank is rewriting over his past to make sense of it. Following the Buffalo—or, at least, a cat named Buffalo—Frank Russet mulls over his past in a layered narrative that would lead you deeper into the wilderness with no way out. Blake’s debut novella plays with time, begging the reader to follow along and trust the ride. Frank is a protagonist filled with guilt, searching for meaning in the forest with his cat, Buffalo. “[Frank] had become an actor in his own life. Reading a script.”As Frank traverses the shadowy edges of society, he encounters remnants of his former self, forcing him to confront his deepest regrets and desires. Blake’s haunting prose captures the essence of a man on the brink of transformation, urging readers to ponder the thin line between redemption and damnation.

  At the end of his life, Charles was left with one question: What was it all for?
   
  
   
  After his tour of duty and an unremarkable post-Army business career, Charles spent his twilight years watching old movies and waiting for his grandkids to call. He'd lived a good life and been a decent man, but now that his wife was gone, he was...lonely.
   
  
   
  Until his old friend Bert introduced him to Crossroads, the new VR sensation. In this virtual world he can move without pain, explore new lands, and most importantly - see his family again. For as long as he can hold their interest, in this fast-paced modern world of instant gratification and VR thrills.
   
  
   
  The solution: Build a place his family wants to visit. Armed only with a magic stick with game-breaking powers that should be nerfed, Charles sets out on a journey to find a place to call his own. Along the way, he will be mistaken for an NPC quest giver, become the antagonist in epic questlines, and attempt to teach the next generation proper behavior - even if he has to beat it into them.
   
  
   
  This is the story of one man's search for belonging in his second virtual life. A search for a place to belong, and what it takes to get there. It's also a hilarious romp through online fantasy clichés that will appeal to fans of Ready Player One, The Wandering Inn, and slice-of-life comedies.
   
  
   
  Because at the end of a man's life, what's more important than family?
