Faulkner & Friends

Faulkner & Friends

Underground Voices
2014
nidottu
Annie Ajami's book store, Faulkner & Friends provides not just a book store but a salon and haven for writers, and a beacon of culture in a run-down neighborhood. But just when the fledgling store seems destined to become financially viable, offering a lifeline to a better future for the destitute characters who have become her adopted family, the shop is plunged into a world of violence and Annie's dream for a literary life falls to ruin, like scattered pages from a broken bookbinding. REVIEWS: "If I didn't know better, I'd swear there's something in the water coming down the river that blooms good writers in New Orleans like magnolia blossoms: Faulkner, Rice, Percy, Toole, etc. And now here's the newest one to squeeze the heart to offer up its secrets. Faulkner & Friends is a wonderful read; that it's set in New Orleans is lagniappe." -- William Greenway, Ph.D., Author of Everywhere at Once and Fishing at the End of the World. "The need to have sympathy for those whom society has left behind, even at personal sacrifice, is key to the novel." --Ruth Latta, author of The Songcatcher and Me

Fur People

pokkari
When Sunny Lytle is evicted for keeping her fur family of thirteen dogs, eight cats, two ferrets, and two rabbits in her apartment in Kentucky, she packs them into a converted school bus and returns to her hometown, DeLeon Springs, Florida. Her dream is to create a no-kill animal rescue, but survival soon takes top priority. Camping in the woods no longer lives up to the memories of her teen years, and the brutal demands of nature and the threatening intervention of Rita, a well-meaning veterinarian, create an ongoing struggle. Buck, a quirky homeless man, becomes her brave ally. To honor their memories, all animal names used in the novel are of deceased fur friends beloved by their families. True anecdotes of animal-human interaction enliven the scenes.

Star Gate Publishing

Felindra, the Whisperer, and her companions have escaped from slavery in the kingdom of Basrind. They must now find a way to return to their homeland, Albasiny, but it is almost hallway around the world. Unable to find a suitable passage from a nearby port, they are forced to try a port on the north coast of the continent, but it is a long journey, filled with hazards. Winter is coming and, once they leave the southeastern desert, much of their journey is through mountainous terrain. Their friend, Tirzah Lin, a powerful wizard and, like them, a former slave, offers to lead them to his homeland, Eleria, and thence to a northern port of the continent. The journey would have been enjoyable-the ever-changing landscape, the different peoples and cultures, fascinating animals, but even their magic powers can't prevent them from running into dangerous situations, and life-threatening incidents.

The Way Out

The Way Out

Vicki Jarrett

Structo Press
2021
nidottu
A girl on a paper round gets more than she bargained for. A couple feels the strain when the money runs out. Life plays out in the call centre, the bingo hall and at the bus stop. Vicki Jarretts debut collection -- reissued here with the bonus story Up Dog Down Dog -- is a deftly observed insight into the lives of people just trying to get by. Jarrett, whose first novel, Nothing is Heavy, was shortlisted for Scottish First Book of the Year, is drawn to the absurdity of everyday life. The characters in The Way Out dream of escape from jobs, relationships and disappointments, yet these darker tones are finely balanced by a natural lightness of touch. These stories are at once heart-breaking, tender, devastatingly honest and brimming with black comedy.
