Book Description
A security guard, a mercenary, a lawyer, a thief, and a reanimated mummy walk up to a food truck… Elizabeth “Eliza” Cunningham has always known what she wants, whether tha’s a medal in an Olympics qualifier (Bronze!), acceptance to an anthropology program at an elite university (Oxford!), or her many sexual conquests (except her childhood best friend Reese Eldin, who was, admittedly, a drunken mistake). But when her parents are killed in a car crash, Eliza’s aspirations die along with them, and she flees as far away as the insurance money can get her: Cairo, Egypt. There, she runs a food truck called Shawarma Warrior King. She’s a good cook and scores an exclusive contract at a dig site (unfortunately, managed by Reese). But trouble has a way of following Eliza. An accident at the dig site awakens a disgraced pharaoh called Milfonnos the Blighted One, whose delusions of grandeur have not faded in the last five thousand years. To stop him, Eliza must enlist the help of Jack Manning, a hunky security guard; Yong-Jin Hak, a mercenary; Rafi Sabbagh, a lawyer and her downstairs neighbor; and Teo Carranza, a belly-dancing thief. The group embark on a treasure hunt and heist to stop the pharaoh’s violent attack on the city. As tensions rise, Eliza finds that she has feelings for all the men—including Milfonnos. But someone in the group isn’t happy with the harem, and his motives aren’t as transparent as they seem. This story contains verbal abuse, explicit violence and gore, graphic sexual content, strong language, and more. Know the acts, events, and characters are purely fiction.

Hurry Please I Want to Know
Author: Paul Griner
Publisher: Sarabande Books
ISBN: 1941411010
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
An otherworldly short story collection that shines “a glaring light on the complexities of human personality and family relationships” (Kirkus Reviews). “Paul Griner is a daredevil storyteller. . . . Anyone who cares about the short story—or just loves good writing—should make a beeline for this remarkable collection.” —Tom Perotta, author of The Leftovers The stories in Hurry Please I Want to Know invite urgent curiosity as Paul Griner spins between quotidian worlds infused with the foreign and the familiar. A man brings his mother back from the dead, only to find her most irritating quirk magnified. A low-ranking soldier is forced to milk a cow within enemy range. A cartoonist’s daughter waits each morning to see how her father’s mood dictates how he will draw her face. Grieving siblings wait to inherit one of their father’s physical features after his death . . . Griner’s endings shift between the shocking and quiet. The result is a meditation on capturing the intangible, and the human fascination with realms that are not our own. Hurry Please I Want to Know gives us the sensation of falling into someone else’s world and an immediate future spent sorting out its thrilling peculiarities. “Griner approaches everyday tragedies by building elaborate machines and shaky structures in the hope of creating a facsimile of life that might somehow become real . . . A pleasure.” —The New York Times “Griner overlays tales of family, artistry, and parent-child relationships with elements of the surreal, in order to create, in the words of one character, ‘an undercurrent of mournfulness’.” —Publishers Weekly “The writing is careful, precise, shocking—stylistically brilliant.” —Bobbie Ann Mason, author of The Girl in the Blue Beret

She needs to know what secrets Rosie has been keeping, and how she ended up in a hospital bed – but Toni has a secret of her own… The Pact Thirty years ago, Toni and her sister Bridget made each other a promise: never to speak of their childhood; to protect each other without asking for help from others, no matter what… But in order to save Rosie, Toni may have to break her lifelong promise to her sister… and open doors to her past she hoped would remain closed forever.
