Sinopse

Consider this, then, the antithesis of a Wilsonville Chamber of Commerce campaign, an attempt to set the record straight. No judgment, merely a forthright account of what might have been observed during an innocent bystander’s own peculiar experience growing up there in the late fifties through the sixties, when it was abandoned for more enlightened climes, i.e., the city.” Excerpted from All Is Not Well.

All Is Not Well is the story of a town, a sheriff, and a precocious young girl as she matures into womanhood. The girl is a once in a generation athlete, able to beat most of the boys in any sport of their choosing, therefore shunned by the boys who are intimidated by her, and the girls because she is not interested in girly-girl things. She faces a life-altering event at nineteen, and the rest of the story tells how she reacts to this, with the town and the sheriff playing their part in it, and finally finds closure.

    An evil spirit murdered a two-bit hustler preacher on French St. Martin. At least, that’s what a conspiracy obsessed Vodou priest would have Jerry Snyder and DJ Martin believe, when they’re called in to investigate the preacher’s stabbing and the kidnapping of his underage girlfriend. 
    To a seasoned investigator like Jerry, a murderous spirit seems… far fetched. For starters, a laundry list of locals were swindled by the preacher, and no matter how vengeful a ghost may become, Jerry knows that without a physical body, it’s impossible to hold a knife. 
    But, as Jerry and DJ methodically work the case, neither man can shake the feeling that something wicked is chasing them through the dark alleys and secret churches of St. Martin. Whatever it is, Jerry has to find a way to shake it off and get the job done, because there’s still a kidnapped girl to be saved.

    Her job is to catch a serial killer, she never expected to be covering for one. 
    Detective Emily Sinclair has spent her life chasing justice, but when her childhood best friend Ava is brutalized by men who walk free, Emily is forced to confront a hard truth: the system isn’t broken, it’s working exactly as designed. Money buys verdicts, silence, and the right to destroy lives without consequence. 
    That changes when those untouchable men start turning up dead. 
    As bodies pile up, Emily finds herself erasing evidence, manipulating crime scenes, and walking a line between law and vengeance. She tells herself she’s protecting Ava. That justice, real justice, sometimes requires getting your hands dirty. 
    Then Rookie Detective Ryan Hunter is assigned to her team. 
    What starts as an obligation quickly becomes a complication Emily never saw coming. The more she tries to keep him at arm’s length, the harder she falls. 
    When Ryan gets too close to the truth, Emily begs Ava to stop. But Ava has her own agenda, and Emily begins to fear Ryan won’t just uncover her secret, he’ll become Ava’s next victim. 
    Now Emily must decide how far she will go to protect a friend, and what happens when the person you’re trying to save becomes the monster you can’t control? 
    In a world where trauma breeds violence, Emily is about to discover that sometimes the greatest threat isn’t the guilty, it’s the ones we’re desperate to protect. 
    TRIGGER WARNING - READ THIS FIRST 
    This book is not for everyone, and that’s okay. This is a dark, suspenseful murder thriller. Despite having a romance element, it is not a romance with a thriller subplot. It is not a redemption story. It explores trauma, rage, misandry, and revenge. 
    Content includes: 
    Graphic violence and murder 
    Sexual assault and trafficking 
    Hostile views of men 
    Feminine rage and misandry

    Van’s writing perfectly encapsulates the appeal of a toxic f***—It’s hot.” - Allan MacDonell, former editor of Hustler magazine 
    Portland is a night-life paradise for young adults, where nothing is too weird, and anything is accepted — the perfect place for Clint Adams to lick his wounds. One night, like a sexy mirage, silhouette bathed in red light, Desiree (Dez) Troy first appears, and he trades one obsession for another. Her. An elusive alcoholic stripper. From her blatant disregard for societal norms, to her not-so-ex-husband the drug dealer, to her daring sexuality, Clint fights for control of his sanity and hers on a raw ride more psychedelic than his classic, blue Chevrolet. 
    Are morals anything more than a false sense of control in an out of control world?

    A funny and emotionally resonant coming-of-age novel about one summer of momentous social and political change at a Jewish sleepover camp
    		 
    It’s the summer of 2013 and 21-year-old Ruby, a counselor at Camp Burntshore, can’t wait to supervise a rowdy cabin of 11-year-olds, smoke weed by the fire, and argue about which city make the best bagels. But when Brent, the camp owner’s son, hires Israeli soldiers to deal with a staffing shortfall, Ruby, a committed anti-Zionist, must decide if she’s willing to jeopardize her place at Burntshore to fight Brent over the contentious issues of Jewish belonging and settler colonialism, even as she finds herself falling in love with one of the soldiers, the sweetly handsome Etai.
    		 
    Soon it becomes clear that the conflict is not just about the camp’s internal divisions but also about Burntshore’s relationship with the neighboring Black Spruce First Nation, strained because of Brent’s larger scheme to buy the Crown land surrounding the lake. As campers swim, go canoe tripping, and stage an over-the-top musical, Ruby has to contend with her feelings for Etai while simultaneously trying to save her beloved camp from greed and colonialism. A social satire, romance, and political commentary all in one, Lake Burntshore celebrates the contemporary Jewish world through its most iconic symbol — the often idyllic yet always dramatic summer camp.
