Right Guy, Wrong Time: A #MeToo Love Story - Now Available for Pre-Sale

1/25/2021

Louise MacGregor's New Adult novel, Right Guy, Wrong Time: A #MeToo Love Story is now available for pre-sale. Receive 20% off the list price if you order before the official February 23, 2021 launch date.

When the perfect guy turns up at the worst possible time, Edie has to figure out what romance and sex mean to her in the aftermath of rape. This offbeat feminist romance moves beyond “girl meets guy,” dealing empathetically with sexual dysfunction, the ubiquity of rape culture, and what recovery can look like in the #MeToo era. Although it tackles a difficult subject, Right Guy, Wrong Time does so in a way that empowers the reader. The protagonist of this New Adult novel is a relatable character who in many ways provides a good role model for others.

"...skillfully portrays the reality of assault from a woman’s perspective. [S]ome readers...may find solace in seeing this topic addressed in a romance novel."-- Library Journal

"...the best portrayal of the aftermath of a rape that I have ever read in a novel."
--Steff Pasciuti, Reader Fox Blog

Forthcoming in 2021 - Speculative Poetry by Bryant O'Hara

9/3/2020

We're pleased to announce a new poetry volume, coming in 2021! The Ghettobirds by Bryant O'Hara is a collection of speculative poetry that celebrates the ability of humanity to adapt to, surpass, and possibly transcend its environment and its origins.

Author Bryant O’Hara draws on Afrofuturist traditions and a love of both the natural and the artificial world. He uses rhythm and cadence to compress thought into images of just how strange our experiences can become as we learn to shape—and be shaped by—both worlds.

Ambushing the Void Now Available for Pre-Order

4/28/2020

We're pleased to present the cover reveal for James McAdams' short story collection from Frayed Edge Press, Ambushing the Void.

"Ambushing the Void is, like every great book, tender and merciless in its explorations of the human arrangement. The stories here are about love and addiction, which might as well be the same thing in most cases—compulsions that make us suffer and thereby feel more alive. McAdams writes from inside those compulsions, never flinching at the ruin they engender. Even as his characters lie to themselves, he forces us to face the truth. I tore through these tales and didn’t want to look back at them, but I did. You will, too.”
Steve Almond, author of God Bless America & Other Stories

With an official launch date of May 19, 2020, this title is currently available at special pre-order pricing of 20% off list price.
