  Left impoverished upon the death of her aunt, Emma Watson has no option but to be reunited with her estranged father and siblings. Initially delighted with her new life—including the fashionable society balls to which she now has access—Emma soon realizes that her family harbors many ill feelings, not least those springing from the sisters' hopes—and disappointments—in snaring a husband. So when the eligible and suitably rich Tom Musgrove begins to transfer his affections from her sister Margaret to Emma, the result can only be further sibling rivalry and unrest. A delightful, exquisitely drawn portrait of family life, The Watsons is Jane Austen at her storytelling best. Author of the masterpieces Pride and Prejudice and Emma, Jane Austen (1775–1817) is one of the most beloved novelists of all time.

  The expert touch of master storytelling—entirely different from anything you have ever tried! 
    
  From A. J. Payler, master of modern fiction behind The Killing Song, Bank Error in Your Favor, and Terror Next Door comes Stop All Interference—seven stories of struggle against overwhelming odds and unstoppable fear, people pushed beyond betrayal and forgiveness, of the world we live in and what people will let themselves do just to survive in it. 
  Featuring: 
  "Sometimes, People Just Have Things They Have to Do": Everyone—everyone said that getting the Artery Boys back together was impossible… and once, high-powered music manager Alec Rodenbaugh might even have agreed. But nothing in this world is truly impossible for someone who wants it badly enough. And even if what seemed like the perfect cover might instead turn out to be the perfect crime… well, sometimes, people just have things they have to do. 
  "Default Admin Credentials": It seemed like the perfect crime… that should have been his first warning. Nothing could go wrong, or that was how it seemed… but in the end, he couldn't honestly blame anyone but himself for not seeing it coming 
  "The Rumble of Heat Lightning Above the Deep Midwestern Woods": A mysterious figure stalks the murky backwoods of the Midwest on an unrelenting mission for revenge, with nothing but a Bowie knife to protect him against the monsters that haunt the forest. And even if he's able to find what he needs… it's already too late. 
  Also featuring "Sonata of Fear", "Dictated, Never Read" (as seen in Twenty-two Twenty-eight), "An Ideal for Living" and "Telemarketing in Reverse", available here and nowhere else.

  SaltWater

  SaltWater is a book of short fiction inspired by the sea, by award-winning fiction writer Lane Ashfeldt. The diverse stories gathered here include tales that unfold now or in the past, along rural or urban coasts, and are set in a range of countries from Ireland to as far away as New Zealand. Some of them are fast-paced while others beat to gentler rhythms - but what they share in common, besides their link with the sea, is that they are original new narratives vibrantly brought to life. Like the sea itself, SaltWater is by turns dark and foreboding, at other times life affirming and hopeful. A powerful, arresting collection from a voice we can expect to hear more from in the future.
