Esquire Ball, Stories from the Great Black Swamp
With a nod to Borges, Kafka, and Daphne du Maurier, Esquire Ball, Stories from the Great Black Swamp is a Midwestern gothic collection of thirteen linked stories in which a young female attorney discovers what it takes to succeed. In this debut collection, set primarily in 1980s Northwest Ohio, ambitious men marry frog wives; a mother-daughter duo trap souls in farmhouse windows; a teenager drowns in a sea of corn; an associate breaks into a client's house to steal a token of remembrance; and a PhD candidate reveals the secrets of the universe while having a threesome with her boyfriend and a tree. Through the lens of magical feminism, and braiding in fairytales and mythology, Esquire Ball examines the gray side of ethics, the tyranny of ambition, and the collateral damage left in its wake.
Live Loud & Suffer in Silence
Take your torch and brace yourself, it might get dark when you dive deep! These texts are not about the sunny side of life. Rather, they deal with the scenes that are staged in the shadows, that don't fit into tiny polished squares to be presented on the virtual pin board of one's life. These are the stories that rarely are the first ones you tell someone on a second date, the ones that you try to hide, the ones that rarely see the sunlight, the ones that aren't easy to narrate, the ones that yet and still are part of life. This book aims at shifting the untold stories from the shadows into the light. Because they are worth it. Because they need to be accepted as part of life. Because they deserve to be told. "This author is no doubt an astute observer of human experiences, exploring deeply the turmoil that lingers on in the confines of the heart, desperate to come out, often surrendering to silence." - Reader Views Note: a certain percentage of your purchase will be donated to local mental health institutions.

For the love of animals.To try to guess the animal, or find the animal it is to you.To go inside yourself and the human- and animal-condition.To step outside yourself and, hopefully, see everything a little bit clearer.
A Collection of Small Endings
Not all stories go out with fireworks. Some just slip out the back door when no one's looking. In this intimate trio of tales, endings come in small, strange packages-sometimes wrapped in fog, sometimes in feathers, sometimes in silence. In Carolina, a woman on the edge of memory drives toward something she can't quite name. In Casablanca Z, the familiar fog of wartime romance is pierced by something far less romantic-and far more undead. And in Wings Over Staria, a girl shipwrecked on a mysterious island finds her way through grief and into the sky, building a new life one wingbeat at a time. These aren't stories of heroes. They're stories of endings. Small ones. The kind that linger.
