John Duffy's WHERE WHEN IT RAINS came out 1 year ago. Readers have said wonderful things about it, including that it is the "literature of now." If you haven't read it yet, grab a copy in our shop or wherever books are sold.

We're going to be annoying for a minute because we just released a book. The book is called Dry The Rain. It looks like this (See photo). It's literary fiction. It's about a traumatized girl trying to tell the story of her abduction from her fractured perspective. It's excellent.
