  High school reporter Sherri "Bax" Baxter is content being an outsider, with a reputation as a nosy busybody among the students of Jericho High. Instead of friendships, she focuses on objective journalistic integrity, because it will get her out of the dead-end Texas oil town and into a prestigious journalism school, and she's pretty sure she's found her big story. A new girl, Molly, has come to town with a mysterious sideways grin, a bolero hat, a well-loved guitar case, and the musical talent of legendary blues man Stevie Ray Vaughan. Two of the school's rival rock groups need her for the upcoming Battle of the Bands, but Molly has a plan to cherry-pick the best musicians out of each band to form her own super group. Both bands engage in an increasingly dangerous rivalry ranging from theft and vandalism to assault and kidnapping. Who better to tag along with Molly and get every juicy tidbit than the intrepid school snoop? She might even make a few friends along the way.

  For a far-future overpopulated Earth, a parallel world may be ripe for colonization—or conquest—in Hugo Award–winning author Philip K. Dick's The Crack in Space. 
    
  When a repairman accidentally discovers a parallel universe, everyone sees it as an opportunity, whether as a way to ease Earth’s overcrowding, set up a personal kingdom, or hide an inconvenient mistress.  
    
  But when a civilization is found already living there, the people on this side of the crack are sent scrambling to discover their motives. Will these parallel humans come in peace, or are they just as corrupt and ill-intentioned as the people of this world? 
    
  "Dick’s best books always describe a future that is both entirely recognizable and utterly unimaginable."—New York Times Book Review

  Alice Falls Again

  Above the care home’s doorbell hung a small plaque, which read: ‘ONLY FOR PRESSING MATTERS’. 
  “Well that makes sense,” said Alice. 
  “It’s about the only thing that does in this place,” quipped the Mayor of Banbury with uncharacteristic sarcasm. 
  Alice is torn between staying at home to care for her sick father and moving to London to study at college. So to be catapulted back to a twisted Wonderland is the last thing she expects. Or needs. Now in her late teens, Alice is smarter and savvier this time around, which is just as well, as Wonderland bears little resemblance to its former self. Animals are forbidden to talk, the townsfolk live in fear of a tyrant and the weather’s all mixed up. Characters and events appear to be straight out of the dark origins of our favourite nursery rhymes. Could a Jabberwocky be behind it all? One thing hasn’t changed; Alice’s curiosity and attitude might just be the death of her if she can’t find her way back. 
  Propelled forward by a tapestry of gritty wordplay and the sinister backstories of our favourite nursery rhymes, DJ Stoneham’s debut fantasy novel will thrill younger and older adults alike. 
  “A brilliant and amusing reinvention.” Kirkus Reviews 
  “Stoneham imbues his prose with a wit and poetry … an ideal fantasy for Carroll fans.” blueink 
  “Fantastical wonders and head-over-heels adventures abound … sentences are rhythmic, at times even poetic and musical.” Foreword Clarion

  Miserable and depressed after yet another failed relationship... 
  Dixie Claiborne has been roped into playing chauffeur on her grandmother's and great aunt's annual pilgrimage to Graceland. The only thing worse than being depressed and alone with a pint of ice cream, is being depressed and accompanied by a couple of batty septuagenarians with Elvis obsessions. It's all well and good until the ancient Cadillac breaks down in the middle of nowhere. The only shelter available is at the decrepit, mafia-run Viva Tupelo Hotel and Casino. As they are checking in to the hotel that has seen far better days, Dixie sees the last person she expects. Her ex. The man who dumped her without a backward glance. 
  Against his will...

But by virtue of having the right look and the ability to sing, he was suddenly an Elvis impersonator spying on a mob boss. And the curvy brunette who made his head spin just walked into the middle of his first and only sting operation. He's not sure who's going to kill him first—the mob boss he's burning or the woman who could blow his cover!
