  In Hollywood, every pavement star tells a story. Not all of them shine. 
  Wannabe actor Kyle Macdonald is down on his luck. Working as a supply teacher in an inner-city Birmingham school, he's single again at 28 and sleeping in his childhood bedroom beneath a 'Hard Candy' Madonna poster. 
  He gets a call claiming he drunkenly married top Hollywood director Aaron Biedermeier in Vegas six years ago. Rather than panic, he sees a golden ticket to fame and the life he's always fantasised about. 
  But the glamorous veneer of Los Angeles – non-stop sunshine, celebrity actors and exclusive hotel suites - starts to crack, revealing a darker, corrupt underbelly to La-La Land. Kyle digs deeper into his so-called husband's past, unearthing disturbing allegations of abuse and underage sex parties. With the help of Biedermeier's fiancé, actor Noah Winters, he embarks on a cross-country race to unravel the mystery and expose the truth – finding love along the way.

  "I thoroughly enjoyed this dark, romantic road trip."

  "A head-snapping dive into a twisted and sexy tale of ambition, revenge and murder set against a sun-bleached tear-stained postcard sent postage-due from the heart of Hollywood Babylon."  
  Josh Lanyon 
  "Fanning's prose and dialogue are crisp, brisk, and incisive, and the characterisation is strong."

  The worlds of a butch handywoman and a betrayed, bored housewife collide in this opposites-attract lesbian erotic romance.
  When Gillian Jennings's husband dies mid-fling, she's left furious, humiliated, and desperate to take back control. She does so by indulging herself in no-strings sex in the very apartment he cheated on her in. After all, desire is easy. Trust is not.
  Sam Freedman makes her living fixing what other people break. She's blunt, rough around the edges, and used to relying on her own two hands—not anyone's promises. But fun with a gorgeous stranger promising no complications changes everything.
  The women's chemistry is immediate and scorching, but it doesn't stay contained. Gillian's hunger shifts from revenge to want. Sam's careful distance begins to crack. And the more they give each other in the dark, the harder it is to walk away in the light.
  Can they risk seeking real love when sex isn't enough anymore?

  Mingle

  Caleb Parkin's dark and mischievous second poetry collection Mingle stirs up the toxicities between landscapes, ecosystems and bodies, in poems bubbling over with hyper-wealth and haunted by tarnished ideals. Through creatures, compounds and chemicals, the poems probe what makes up our world's matter, and how we use it for good or ill. From gold to hydrocarbons, radioactive gardening to viral memes, the resulting mixture is a potent poetic cocktail…
  Here, intimate connections and grand narratives are unsettled; we are implicated in prickly histories and weird futures and the natural world reminds us of its unruliness – as well as our own. Reflections warp in noxious ponds and voices distort and echo in uncanny landscapes. At times hyperreal and surreal, adventurous and technicolour, Mingle fizzes with the possibilities of queered language and altered states of poetic form.
