Apples: A Novel Feature

Apples, an unassuming debut novel plucked from the imagination of a remarkable new twenty-one-year-old talent, and published to rave reviews in London, is a surprising, affecting, ingeniously crafted little coming-of age novel that has critics calling Richard Milward the voice of the MySpace generation.

As a distraction from sleazy male admirers, spiteful classmates, and her mother’s progressing cancer, Eve’s adolescent eyes are opened to a multicolored life of fumbling one-night stands, drug-fuelled clubs, endless varieties of candy-flavored cheap booze, and banal consumerist choices. She barely has time to notice Adam. Adam, however, notices Eve. While contending with sexual frustration, an asshole father, and increasingly compulsive behavior, is Adam too busy furtively reading porn in his bedroom to make his move on Eve?

A paean to the scattershot difficulties of growing up, the complications of friendship, and the consequences of hormones in overdrive, Apples is a deliciously pitch-perfect debut.

EyeLeash: A Blog Novel Feature

Jade Ashton is a sassy virgin. In her private blog, she vents about "fitting in" a world where superficiality reigns supreme.

Suddenly all logic flies out the window when she meets Novan: the former geek, who's morphed into a delicious songwriter-musician. They decide to be "friends-with-benefits." But it's Novan, with his poems and riddling passages on his own blog--which *isn't private*--that backs out.

EyeLeash captures self-discovery in the 2000s, and showcases the colorful, intricate drama in two youths' relentless search for themselves--and what's really in their hearts.

GENRE: Alternative YA / Contemporary Fiction / New Media / Popular Culture / 65,000 words

REVIEWS:

"The conversation [in EyeLeash] struck me as totally authentic--the form [of the novel] is very contemporary and is integral to the story. This is how young people experience sex. It's how they experience love. The novel captures what they do, how they interact and how they feel...a mature mix." --Joseph Grinton, independent reviewer, July 18, 2009

"I'm going to be honest. When I first heard of a 'blog fiction' novel, I immediately thought it would be another IM fluffy rom-com, like TTYL by Lauren Myracle. But, once I read the description, I was intrigued...[Ms. Scott captures] perfectly the John Hughes-like angst every teenager goes through like any real teenager would--through the internet." --Danielle, book blogger, Aug 11, 2009

EXCERPT:

[novan]: bassists are very good with their fingers
[novan]: and some of us sing backup vocals, so that means we're good with our mouths too...
¤Jade¤: awesome *that goes for your last sentence too ;)*
[novan]: haha :P
¤Jade¤: oh my i'm looking at some pix of sid vicious
¤Jade¤: he's SO bangable
[novan]: ROFL. it's too bad a preppy punk poseur of our day compared herself to sid in a SellOut Magazine interview.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Jess's literary work has appeared in a diverse range of publications such as Word Riot, ITCH Magazine, and The Battered Suitcase. EyeLeash, her debut novel, was inspired by a conspiracy of real life events. Her website is jesscscott.com

Kiss the Sky: A Novel Feature

From nationally acclaimed political commentator and multimedia personality Farai Chideya comes an intense and darkly funny debut novel about a woman who learns what you stand to gain—and lose—if you follow your dreams.

Sophie Maria Clare Lee is no stranger to reinvention. A book-smart black girl from blue-collar Baltimore, she remade herself into a Harvard hipster, and finally into an indie rock musician touring America with her mesmerizing classmate (and now ex-husband) Ari Klein.

Now, ten years after graduation, a one-night musical reunion with Ari spurs Sophie to snatch back the mic. She lands a record deal—with the help of new manager and paramour Leo Masters—but quickly discovers that her celebrity status brings new risks for her sense of self and even her safety. As she and Ari play music together again, a complicated love triangle begins. With a Greek chorus of advice from her two best girlfriends, Sophie tries to figure out how she relates to these two men, the music business, her loving but demanding extended family, and her penchant for alcohol and melancholy. As the band tours the world, will Sophie’s faith, family, and friendships crumble under the weight of her dogged fight for fame?

Truth Catcher: A Novel of Suspense Feature

A forensic psychologist uses her unique condition to solve the cold case of a missing girl.

Forensic psychologist Breeze Copens has a gift. She not only hears the truth, she also sees it, through the rare psychological condition synethesia. So she knows when Daryl Collins—a born-again but remorseless con jailed in Seattle for armed robbery—is lying. What she doesn't know is the identity of a little girl in a blue dress with yellow daisies who appears suddenly in her line of vision during her interview with Daryl. And Daryl isn't telling.

A heart stopping thriller, its twists unexpected, its suspense mounting as the steely Breeze attempts to make hard evidence of her intuition, Truth Catcher sets the lovely, red-haired forensic expert on an increasingly treacherous course. Matching wits with devious and deviant criminal minds, Breeze tracks her quarry fearlessly, only to discover, chillingly, in Edgar nominee Anna Salter's compelling fifth novel, that she's the prey.

Broken: A Novel (P.S.) Feature

Until that fateful afternoon, Skunk Cunningham had been a normal little girl, playing on the curb in front of her house. Rick Buck­ley had been a normal geeky teen­ager, hosing off his brand-new car. Bob Oswald had been a normal sociopathic single father of five slutty daughters, charging furiously down the side­walk. Then Bob was beating Rick to a bloody pulp, right there in the Buckleys' driveway, and life on Drummond Square was never the same again.

Inspired by Harper Lee's classic To Kill a Mockingbird, Clay's brilliantly observed and darkly funny novel follows the sudden unraveling of a sub­urban community after a single act of thoughtless cruelty.

Resurrection Men: An Inspector Rebus Novel Feature

Inspector John Rebus has messed up badly this time, so badly that he's been sent to a kind of reform school for damaged cops. While there among the last-chancers known as "resurrection men," he joins a covert mission to gain evidence of a drug heist orchestrated by three of his classmates. But the group has been assigned an unsolved murder that may have resulted from Rebus's own mistake. Now Rebus can't determine if he's been set up for a fall or if his disgraced classmates are as ruthless as he suspects.

When Detective Sergeant Siobhan Clarke discovers that her investigation of an art dealer's murder is tied to Rebus's inquiry, the two-protÈgÈ and mentor-join forces. Soon they find themselves in the midst of an even bigger scandal than they had imagined-a plot with conspirators in every corner of Scotland and deadly implications about their colleagues.

With the brilliant eye for character and place that earned him the name "the Dickens of Edinburgh," Ian Rankin delivers a page-turning novel of intricate suspense.

The Rock and The Kangaroos: A Novel Feature

From THE ROCK AND THE KANGAROOS:The remainder of the afternoon, the glory days at Baker College lay heavy on my heart--they were good times, growing up times, triumphant times, and times tinged with sadness. The day The Rock and I left Ferguson in August 1959 for our freshman year at Baker College came to my mind as if it had happened yesterday. As far as I am concerned, all those days at Baker happened yesterday, because they are part of me like the marrow in my bone. Who I am today, started the moment we left Ferguson The best District 9 basketball game ever played was tied 70 to 70 with 10 seconds left on the clock. Kirby called time out to prepare for the final shot of the game. When they brought the ball in, they quickly set a screen for their best shooter and he took a 23-foot jumper with six seconds on the clock. As soon as he turned the ball loose, I sprinted toward our basket, and as I looked back, I saw Suitcase come down with the rebound, flip it to Rock on the outlet, and The Rock hit me with a perfect strike as I went in the air and slam dunked the Kangaroos to Kansas City.
