Matt’s in awe of his wife.

My Last Brother

How far away will you run from the ghosts of your past?

Rule No. 1: Rent’s due on the first of every month.

Rule No. 2: No loud noises or partying.

Rule No. 3 and the most important one: Never, ever go to the west side of the house.

Those are the only three rules that Rohit has set for his newly acquired tenant, Darsh. Fiercely protective of his privacy, Rohit would have never gotten a tenant if not for his financial situation. His life is in tatters, he’s become a shell of a man and after losing his entire family in a car crash, he’s still learning how to function. Now, Rohit spends his days tormented and alone in the bleak mansion. When Darsh moves into the dreary house, he begins to notice that the cheap rent was too good to be true. On top of that, Rohit’s rules might be alluding to much darker secrets. As Darsh begins to uncover the web of half-truths and lies, he starts giving into the small town’s rumours and gossip. Now he has a choice–get out safe and alive or…let curiosity kill the cat.

Carrying On

Nadia has to start over. But will characters from her past—and the dead body at the beach house—let her?

From accomplished author Jonita Davis comes a witty and vivid murder mystery, Carrying On. A perfect match for fans of the Stephanie Plum novels and Dial A for Aunties (winner of the Comedy Women In Print prize 2021), this book packs a punch!

Nadia sits, tied to a chair, watching curiously as three so-called “gangsters” fret about a ferret. The only thing she can think about at the moment is her life before all of this. At what point did it all go wrong?

Well, to understand that, we have to take a trip that started a few weeks and 600 miles back.

Before the darned pink Caddy showed up.

Before the seriously sexy paramedic rescued her.

Before a respected local politician was accused of a heinous crime.

We have to start on the day when Nadia went about her business, thinking that she had life all put together.

She did, until it broke.

“Jonita’s witty and comedic Carrying On is also an exciting and thrilling mystery that I couldn’t put down. The story will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.” — Danny Strong (Emmy Award winning Writer, Actor, Director, Producer)

“Nadia’s humor and voice are striking, and practically alive on the page. From the very first word, you’re rooting for her every step of the way.” — Alicia Sparrow (Acquisitions Editor, Chicago Review Press, Lawrence Hill Books)

Turtle A

Boy meets girl. Girl rips to shreds boy’s idea of the Universe.

Binge read Neil Gaiman and Matt Haig till you had an existential crisis? From debut author Ellie Martin-McKinsey comes an equally thought-provoking philosophical fiction book, Turtle A.

Turtle A chews on Strawberry B, which causes a string to pull the platform up, releasing Coin C to…you know what? I don’t think I am going to tell you much more than that…

Here’s the thing though: one event leads to another until you have a chain of events completing a set goal; at least that’s how The Girl believes The Universe works. Following The Universe’s instructions to set in motion a series of events, The Girl believes that to be her purpose…until she finds Nico, who staunchly believes that The Universe’s grand cosmic plans are a load of horseshit.

Which one of them is right? The Girl, who has no identity or place in the world, or Nico, who has worked so hard on his sense of self that somewhere along the way he lost his purpose. How will these two come together to resolve the mysteries of The Universe?

When the Universe calls, will you answer?

“Martin-McKinsey’s creation is thoughtfully crafted, each image and detail pours forth, giving the reader a full visceral experience.” — PC Rehm (Actor, Intimacy Choreographer, Director)

“Turtle A asks timeless questions about destiny versus personal choice through absurd, yet likeable, characters. I couldn’t put it down!” — Katy Pyle (Artistic Director, Choreographer)

The Séance That Never Dies

A grieving mother. A séance that went wrong.

Binged all of Shirley Jackson’s books and the Netflix sensation The Haunting of Hill House? Looking for your next supernatural obsession? Look no further!

Debut author M.Q. Nguyen pens an eerie and emotional tale of a mother and daughter, bound beyond life and death.

When Maggie steals a shard of bone from her daughter Carrie’s urn during the ash-scattering ceremony, she is unaware what forces she is allowing into her new home.

Strange little happenings around the house leave Maggie hopeful that her daughter is back, but little does she know this comes at a price. Along with her daughter’s gentle spirit, she senses a malevolent one—one that is out to get her! If she brings in an exorcist, they will most likely purge the house of all ghosts, and Maggie cannot bear to lose Carrie so soon, all over again.

As the hauntings grow more violent, Maggie has to face the fact that she has a choice to make—it’s her life or Carrie.

When the good forces intermingle with the evil, what will a desperate Maggie feel compelled to do to bring her daughter back? What would you?

Eternally Single, Rosa Álvarez

Eternally Single, Rosa Álvarez brings to you all the beloved tropes of the hottest romance novels: The Spanish Love Deception, The Kiss Quotient, It Happened One Summer and more!

Debut author Neerja Pawar has infused her novel with all the love, banter and men written by women she wishes to see in the real world…

Rosa Álvarez leads two lives.

One is deceptively normal. A respectable physiotherapist living in Los Angeles: the city of fish tacos and famous bigwigs. She works hard at her job, loves living the single life, and has a trip home to Mexico at the very top of her priority list.

The other is her mother’s worst nightmare.

For one, the first is a lie. She does love her job, but its uniqueness would put any good chick flick to shame. She hasn’t been on a date in five years, at least, not any good ones. And she will do anything to avoid a trip to her sleepy hometown.

But when a notorious man from her past shows up in LA, Rosa’s secret life starts unravelling. There’s also the matter of the really annoying actor (who just so happens to be annoyingly good-looking) she keeps bumping into whom she cannot seem to shake off.

As her lies pile up, will Rosa be able to keep her two worlds separate? Or will her mother’s flying chancla find her first?
