"A heartfelt story with well-developed characters. Deeply moving, Tomorrow's Shining Dream is beloved addition to a much-loved series." -Melissa Jagears, Carol-award-winning author of Engaging the Competition

In 1880s Texas, a spirited rancher's daughter enlists her childhood friend-and the town sheriff-to help her find a husband, forcing them both to confront old wounds, family expectations, and a love neither of them planned.

She needs to learn how to flirt. He needs to forget she exists. Then she asks him for help finding a husband... What could possibly go wrong?

Charlotte Westin has always been more comfortable in a saddle than a ballroom. That wouldn't be a problem, except her father owns the largest ranch in Texas-and he insists she marry a wealthy city-slicker worthy of a cattle baron's daughter. There might be someone out there who'd love her for who she is instead of her money, but she's been fooled by a sweet talker before, and her family is still suffering because of it.

With an old friend-turned-enemy returning to town and cattle rustlers running roughshod over the county, Sheriff Daniel Harding knows the last thing he should be thinking about is a woman... especially the one woman he'll never be able to marry. Then Charlotte Westin asks for his help, and Daniel can't refuse. Until he finds out exactly what she wants...

When Charlotte comes to Daniel with a plan to find herself a husband, Daniel is forced to face his feelings for her-as well as some past mistakes of his own. But as the rustlers grow more dangerous, Charlotte's father takes drastic steps to engage her to a man she doesn't love. And Charlotte and Daniel soon find themselves caught between the burdens from their pasts and others' expectations. Will they let their past choices ruin their dreams? Or will Charlotte and Daniel embrace God's forgiveness and forge a happy future for themselves?

From jagged mountains and green river valleys, to cattle ranches and vivid sunsets, Tomorrow's Shining Dream offers a meaningful story about simpler times, sincere faith, and unfailing love.

A wild, beguiling novel about isolation, technology, and raising the dead by the co-editor of Queer Little Nightmares

The dead want to speak to you. But are you ready to hear their words? Super Castle Fun Park explores a group of people tending wistfully to their precarious lives. Dario is an aimless pessimist staying at a themed hotel who is tasked with the care of his aunt at the end of her life. Jeremy is Dario's anxious boyfriend who is trapped in his home, plagued by disturbing visions. Chelsea is an ornery medium who spends her free time on her phone trolling a group of misfits in an online game. Each of them is at the precipice of change, and the people they are interconnected to, including the dead, will be there when it happens.

Moving seamlessly between quiet melancholy, wry humor, and the supernatural, Super Castle Fun Park is a novel that defies expectations: a tragicomic, very human story about isolation, ghosts, technology, and our deep, abiding need for connection.

This book is about what it means to make a choice. As mothers, how do we carry life and death in our bodies and survive with our hearts intact?

The Heart Folds Early is a story of transformation through tragedy, and an examination of the way in which great loss can make us simultaneously fearful and intrepid. Emerging from a childhood that included both devastating sexual abuse and the sustaining joy of being deeply (if imperfectly) loved, Jill Christman's sights were set on building and protecting her own happy family--until her fiancé was killed in a car accident.

Christman folds the mournful recklessness of the young widow she was against the backdrop of her later marriage and new motherhood, including the choice to end a half-term pregnancy when a routine ultrasound revealed her baby boy had just half a heart. Courageous, clear-eyed, tender, and unexpectedly funny, Christman's book reflects on her life and asks: What happens when we're afraid the worst thing will happen and then, sometimes, it does? What does it mean to make and live with a heartrending choice? How do we carry life and death in our bodies and survive with our hearts intact?

Tommy

I should hate Rowan Hughes. He was a bully when we were kids, and now I find out he's messed around with my girlfriend. But how can I hate the campus soccer star when he's everything I've always wanted to be?

With my reputation on the line, I can't let Rowan get away with humiliating me in front of people I know-people we both go to school with.

When he swears he didn't know Annalese was my girlfriend, I actually believe him. When he says I'm good enough to play beside him, I want to believe that too. But when he insists he's not gay, all I want is to prove him wrong.

Rowan

I made one dumb decision at a party, and now Tommy Mathison thinks I'm into his girl. He couldn't be more wrong, but it's not because I'm gay. It's because I'm weak. Now I've got a beefed-up babyface's knuckle prints bruising the side of my face, and I can't get him out of my head.

Tommy isn't weak, and he may just be the missing piece my team needs to win a championship before I go pro. I don't know why he quit soccer after high school, but getting him back on the field is easy. Keeping him close without losing control? That's the real challenge.

SWEAT is a high-spice hurt/comfort sports romance that deals with heavy themes related to identity, mental health, grief, and coping with past trauma. This book is intended for readers age 18 and up.

The end of everyone was just the beginning... Minetaro Mochizuki's classic 90s head-trip disaster manga is now in print!

AGAINST ALL ODDS THEY ESCAPE THE ABYSS, ONLY TO FIND EVEN GREATER DARKNESS...

Teru and Ako finally escape the tunnel, but the mystery of whatever caused their horrible train crash only deepens when they find nothing but ruins, abandoned buildings, and unending gloom above ground. Soon, however, they see suspiciously human-like shadows slinking about and chase after them in a last-ditch effort to find someone--anyone--else alive.

But even friendly faces conceal their own darkness, and sometimes the people we implicitly trust can turn out to be the most dangerous of all.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Acclaimed author Minetaro Mochizuki first broke into the world of manga with his short story Tadatada Honobono Heart (A Simply Lovely Heart), which in 1984 won the Chiba Tetsuya Award for newcomers, a distinguished prize named for the preeminent author of Ashita no Joe: Fighting for Tomorrow. Two of Mochizuki's works, Samehada Otoko to Momojiri Onna (Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl) and Dragon Head have been adapted into live-action films, and his series Ochanoma (The Living Room) was adapted into a live-action drama.

Dragon Head earned him the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize--one of the manga industry's most coveted awards established in honor of the tremendously influential author of Astro Boy and Buddha--as well as the prestigious Kodansha Manga Award.
