In "The Girl from Arizona," Nina Rhoades weaves a rich tapestry of narrative that explores themes of identity, belonging, and resilience against the backdrop of the Arizona desert. Her lyrical prose captures the harsh yet beautiful landscape, mirroring the protagonist's internal struggles as she searches for her place in a world that feels both familiar and alien. Set during a time of significant social change, the novel deftly navigates the complexities of race and gender, offering profound reflections on the intersections of personal and collective histories through a deeply engaging plot and vibrant characterizations. Nina Rhoades, an accomplished writer and cultural critic, draws from her own diverse experiences as a Native American woman and academic. Her profound understanding of indigenous narratives, coupled with her passion for storytelling, informs this thought-provoking work. Rhoades'Äôs commitment to amplifying marginalized voices is evident throughout the novel, as she seeks to highlight the multifaceted nature of cultural identity and the personal journeys that shape it. This compelling narrative invites readers to immerse themselves in the rich cultural landscape of Arizona while challenging them to reflect on their own identities and histories. Rhoades crafts a profoundly relatable story that resonates across varying contexts, making "The Girl from Arizona" a must-read for those seeking a nuanced exploration of strength and self-discovery.

    "Richard Engling knows Chicago's famously chaotic and glorious storefront theater scene like the back of his hand. It's the perfect setting for absurd comic hi-jinx." 
    – Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune 
    In this “rollicking ride through the underbelly of the acting world” (Midwest Book Review), Chicago director Dwayne Finnegan has a long shot at the big time and only two obstacles: himself and everyone he knows. Dwayne's got an idea of how to direct Shakespeare's least-favorite play that could set him on the road to Broadway. We're talking Bob Fosse choreography, Jimi Hendrix guitars, and the hottest cast in the city of Chicago. But when the show's producer cuts out with the cash, Dwayne decides to produce the show himself, putting his marriage and his meager finances at risk. What could go wrong? 
    "Engling's satire on storefront theatre is thoroughly entertaining from start to finish." 
    – ChicagoOnStage 
     
    "a scrappy, big-hearted backstage comedy layered with mordant wit and full of a deep, abiding love for its characters..." 
    – Adam Langer, author of CYCLORAMA 
    "Hilarious, witty, touching, intelligent, and spot-on... Entire chapters are laugh-out-loud funny..." 
    – Nadeem Zaman, author of THE INHERITORS and UP IN THE MAIN HOUSE AND OTHER STORIES 
    "...Give My Regards to Nowhere is a magic trick performed in plain view. The novel is comic, wise, and riveting." 
    – Liam Heneghan, author of BEASTS AT BEDTIME 
    "...Engling vividly captures the disparity between grand artistic ambition and what reality has to offer in this very funny, briskly written, and often touching book. Fans and inhabitants of Chicago's (or any city's) theater scene will feel right at home..." 
    – Mark Larson, author of ENSEMBLE: AN ORAL HISTORY OF CHICAGO THEATER

    I have to pay off my late father's gambling debts. 
     But the man who's owed the money is my new boss, and he doesn't want my money. He wants me... 
     Then disaster strikes: I'm pregnant with his child, and he's marrying his ex. What now? 
     
      *** *** 
    Brittany's father left behind not only a grieving wife but also a mountain of gambling debts to the wrong people. These people now want their money!
    Brittany is at her wit's end. So she flies to Vegas in a rush to talk to the creditors. But she's stood up and instead meets the mysterious and attractive Daniel Moore.
    He's only a few years older than Brittany and the son of one of her father's former poker buddies.
    After a few cocktails at the bar, the sparks really fly between them. Is it the alcohol or his charm that makes them unable to keep their hands off each other even in the elevator?
    Back in New York, Brittany is stunned when her new boss is introduced: It's Daniel Moore.
    He admits that her father owed the debt to him and his father, and offers Brittany a more than questionable deal. Brittany doesn't know what to do - then her period is late. But that's not all: In a gossip magazine, she accidentally learns about Daniel's wedding to his ex, a well-known TV host, scheduled for tomorrow.
     What does Daniel really want from her? Is she just a means to an end for him? And what will he say when he finds out about their child?

    IT STARTED WITH A CUP . . . 
     
     
     
    Isabella Shay is usually a very honest person. But when she's running late for her first day at a dream job and the barista yells for "Amy" three times with no answer, she does the unthinkable. 
     
     
     
    Izzy takes that PSL. 
     
     
     
    It's the exact drink she ordered and paid for, only waaaay further ahead in the line, so she mutters "I'm Amy" and grabs the cup. But when she turns around and runs directly into the most attractive man she's ever seen, spilling the drink all over his GQ shirt and tie, she ends up having the ultimate meet-cute. Sparks fly and things feel beyond promising until he says the words, "See you tomorrow, Amy." 
     
     
     
    Uh, oh—she'll definitely have to straighten him out the following day. 
     
     
     
    Only when she gets to her new office and meets the VP of her department, it is none other than Blake Phillips—the hottie from Starbucks. And the man might've been charming to "Amy," but he is an arrogant grump to Izzy, an arrogant grump who does not find her explanation funny at all. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    In a world called Dennere, in the cursed land of the Nightshawl, where eternal darkness reigns, hope is a rare commodity. For Kai, a young Rune Runner who defies the witches’ curse, survival means braving the shadows to uncover ancient secrets. When Kai unlocks the chest to a rare crystal dagger—rumored to hold the power to undo the witches’ dark legacy—he becomes a central figure in a perilous game of pursuit and power. Hunted by void-born creatures and by Velthera, the most ruthless of the coven, Kai must journey with and learn to trust an enigmatic young woman seeking to awaken the crystal’s power. As the darkness closes in, Kai’s mission becomes more than survival—it’s a battle to restore a fractured world and reignite a light strong enough to lift the eternal night. Will Kai unlock the secrets of the past before the darkness claims him? Or will he succumb to the shadows’ grasp?
