Willem collects and sells “biofuel/fertilizer,” and he’s well over knee-deep in inventory. When Murven, his out-of-work best buddy, volunteers to help him with his daily collection, they discover Willem is stockpiling more than he bargained for as an “entre-manure.” Once the sheriff gets involved, Willem’s past and Murven’s general reputation slingshot them both to the top of the suspect list. With a little help, they escape custody and fight to clear their names of murder. As the news spreads, every redneck in the county and beyond — family, friend or foe — wants a piece of Willem and Murven’s 15 minutes of infamy.

Bug by Shawn Reilly  

About Bug by Shawn Reilly:

I stood in the clearing in the heart of the woods where the stars looked down upon the night. Head tilted back toward the darkened sky, eyes closed, I listened. The woods bordered my house—all one-hundred and thirty-something acres. Every little sound, every gurgle, rustle, bustle, buzz, hiss, peep, screech, hoot, cry, creak, crack or croak, I knew well. Harvest came every third Friday of the month. On that night, regardless of the weather, I carried the leather pouch into the woods to collect my mother’s specimens.

I had done this for as long as I could remember.

In the life of Bug Martin there are three things that are for certain. One, the third Friday of each month, also known as harvest night, she is forced to go into the woods alone to collect her mother’s shopping list of weirdness. Two, her mother’s less than sound mental state. And finally, the fact that Bug feels like an outsider both at home and at school.
In her somewhat problematic, repetitive, lonely existence Bug has very little knowledge of her heritage…actually her memories in general are vague. Bug’s world seems to revolve around marking yet another day off her calendar and carrying on with her daily routine—the one true thing that she’s still in control of.

However, just when Bug begins to question the circumstances that surround each harvest night, she is confronted with a blast from the past. Her old nemesis, Tobias Keogh, the boy who outted her mom by calling her a witch in front of their sixth grade class, has returned home. His reappearance reveals two realities: one, that his memories don’t mesh with hers and two, that he knows far too much about her.

In the process of questioning things and trying to come to terms with Tobias’s homecoming, Bug’s eyes are opened not only to new possibilities but to a whole new world…one that she never even knew she was a part of.

Halfway to Nowhere by Elena Aitken & Steena Holmes  

About Halfway to Nowhere by Elena Aitken & Steena Holmes:

By NY Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Steena Holmes and Elena Aitken, comes their latest story sure to tug at the heartstrings of those who understand the depth of a mother’s love.

Nikki Landon walked away from her small town, Halfway, Montana, ten years ago, with no intentions of setting foot there again. But, when her mother dies unexpectedly, Nikki has no choice but to return, and this time with the child she was trying to hide—ten year old, Ryan.

Becky Jennings is living her happily-ever-after. She’s married to the man of her dreams and even though that means being the wife of a Christmas tree farmer, she’s happy. There’s only one thing missing from her fairy-tale life: a child to hold in her arms. After countless miscarriages, she’s struggling to accept that might be one dream that will never come true.

As teenagers, Nikki would have done anything to protect her best friend, Becky from heartache, which is why she left. But ten years later, there’s nowhere to hide in a small town where everyone can see the truth of the secret she can no longer keep.

Could Nikki’s son be the child Becky has always longed for? And if he is, can the already fragile bond between the two friends, withstand the heartache?

Author Bio:
Elena – Like a lot of my readers, I’m a busy mom. It often feels like life is pulling us in a million different directions, which is why I love to write romance! There’s nothing better than knowing you have an escape waiting for you at the end of a long day in the form of a good book. I’m lucky enough to live in the shadow of the Canadian Rocky Mountains in the foothills of Alberta, where I can write the stories I love. Whenever I get the chance, I escape into those amazing mountains and I can usually be found sitting with my feet in the lake, working on my next book. As well as sweet contemporary romance novels, I also like to write women’s fiction and my collection of stand alone novels are all part of the Escape Collection. I’m always trying something new, so stay tuned to see what’s next! I LOVE to hear from my readers! Please sign up for my newsletter at www.elenaaitken.com

Steena – Now a USA Today Bestseller! Growing up as a small town Canadian girl, there wasn’t much to do but ride your bike, hang out with friends on the beach and daydream. I always wanted to write but never dreamed it was something I could do as a career. I love to travel and fell in love with the sheep covered hillside, old castles and romantic history of Scotland and England. I dream about waking up in Tuscany and touring small town shops in the south of France with my husband, of placing my toes in the ocean and experiencing history first hand. As a mother with three daughters, I’m learning that teaching them to pursue their dreams is a lasting legacy. I love to wake up to the Rocky Mountains, will forever enjoy the taste of coffee and chocolate and can’t imagine the day when a story doesn’t unfold in my heart. Living a life with passion and pursuing dreams is a life well lived. www.steenaholmes.com
