Magic in the Time of Corona - Novella


Book Description

Novella Molly is in trouble. On the eve of her college graduation, she must pack her bags and run away, after upsetting the vindictive witches of May's Coven. Homeless and hiding her identity, she ends up in Edinburgh at a time of Corona.She sleeps in the park and walks the streets by day, while seeking a new coven that can protect her. Terrible nightmares haunt her, reminding her of what she saw back in May's Coven and the fate that awaits her if she is found. In the midst of the danger, she meets Ryan, a young Scottish journalist. His down to earth style and unassuming confidence are everything she's been looking for, and their time together gives her strength and hope. But Ryan falls sick. Will their love survive when Coronavirus strikes? --Why I wrote this book: "I wanted to write a book that would help me deal with what I was feeling... I too was hit by the pandemic, and I paid a very high price for it. I wrote a few times a week, exploring what magic would have added to my experience of Edinburgh. For example, the duck pond that Ryan mentions is a place that my husband and I loved to visit before lockdown, and I missed it. And the supermarket where Molly and Ryan meet is the same one where we'd get bread to feed the ducks and swans. I also used to love going to Arthur's Seat, the park where Molly spent her homeless nights. But it was now on the other side of town and I couldn't risk the bus ride to get to it. So, in my writing I went to these places. I went there as Molly, a young and brave witch."

The Reservoir: A Novella


Book Description

New paperback edition of The Reservoir from author, actor, and musician David Duchovny includes a bonus, brand-new short story, "The Scare Owl" The Reservoir follows an unexceptional man in an exceptional time. We see our present-day pandemic world and New York City through the eyes of a former Wall Street veteran, Ridley, as he looks back upon his life in his enforced quarantine solitude, wondering what it all means and who he really is. Sitting and brooding night after night, gazing out his huge picture window high above the Central Park Reservoir, Ridley spots a flashing light in an apartment across the park as if a lonely quarantined person is signaling him in Morse code. His determination to find out who this mystery woman is leads him on an epic quest that will ultimately tempt him with either delusional madness or the fulfillment of his own mythic fate. Is he a dying man going mad or an everyman metamorphosing into a hero? Or both? We accompany Ridley as he leaves the safety of his apartment window to save the Fifth Avenue femme fatale and descends into a dangerous, increasingly surreal world of global conspiracies, madness, and sickness of this viral time. As Ridley's actions grow more and more uncharacteristic, he realizes the key to all the mysteries of now, and even all of history, seem to lie deep beneath the freezing waters of the reservoir. The Reservoir is a twisted rom-com for our distanced time, when the merest touch could kill and conspiracy theories propagate like viruses—a contemporary union of Death in Venice, Rear Window, and The Plague. The paperback edition includes a bonus, brand-new short story, "The Scare Owl"!

Murder Among Friends


Book Description

How did two teenagers brutally murder an innocent child...and why? And how did their brilliant lawyer save them from the death penalty in 1920s Chicago? Written by a prolific master of narrative nonfiction, this is a compulsively readable true-crime story based on an event dubbed the "crime of the century." In 1924, eighteen-year-old college students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb made a decision: they would commit the perfect crime by kidnapping and murdering a child they both knew. But they made one crucial error: as they were disposing of the body of young Bobby Franks, whom they had bludgeoned to death, Nathan's eyeglasses fell from his jacket pocket. Multi-award-winning author Candace Fleming depicts every twist and turn of this harrowing case--how two wealthy, brilliant young men planned and committed what became known as the crime of the century, how they were caught, why they confessed, and how the renowned criminal defense attorney Clarence Darrow enabled them to avoid the death penalty. Following on the success of such books as The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindbergh and The Family Romanov, this acclaimed nonfiction writer brings to heart-stopping life one of the most notorious crimes in our country's history.
