Book Description
A summertime story only Elin Hilderbrand can tell: a family in upheaval after a cancelled wedding fill an island summer with heartache, laughter, and surprises. Birdie Cousins has thrown herself into the details of her daughter Chess's lavish wedding, from the floating dance floor in her Connecticut back yard to the color of the cocktail napkins. Like any mother of a bride-to-be, she is weathering the storms of excitement and chaos, tears and joy. But Birdie, a woman who prides herself on preparing for every possibility, could never have predicted the late-night phone call from Chess, abruptly announcing that she's cancelled her engagement. It's only the first hint of what will be a summer of upheavals and revelations. Before the dust has even begun to settle, far worse news arrives, sending Chess into a tailspin of despair. Reluctantly taking a break from the first new romance she's embarked on since the recent end of her 30-year marriage, Birdie circles the wagons and enlists the help of her younger daughter Tate and her own sister India. Soon all four are headed for beautiful, rustic Tuckernuck Island, off the coast of Nantucket, where their family has summered for generations. No phones, no television, no grocery store - a place without distractions where they can escape their troubles. But throw sisters, daughters, ex-lovers, and long-kept secrets onto a remote island, and what might sound like a peaceful getaway becomes much more. Before summer has ended, dramatic truths are uncovered, old loves are rekindled, and new loves make themselves known.

Book Description
Life has become "Zombified." The air itself carries death or worse. A few hardy, starving souls band together to try to make sense of Life's new rulebook while holding on to what little "humanity" they have left. Husk: A Tale of Human Hunger is a book that examines Life's incomprehensible, insatiable and cannibalistic need to consume life. Set in the oddest zombie apocalypse imaginable, it follows the paths of several starving characters, all precariously balanced between lack and plenty, in their never ending search for more "food." After the reader is finished with this story, they may have to ask themselves an uncomfortable question: "Am I alive, dead . . . or neither?" Husk: A Tale of Human Hunger is the first book in a trilogy. The second book will take the story in a whole new direction, resolving many of the conflicts left open in Husk. Expect the second book sometime in the summer...if the world survives! Husk: A Tale of Human Hunger deals with mature subject matter, has strong language and is intended for a mature audience. The main theme of the novel is the overriding emptiness in all people (for food, stuff, power, love, you name it) which is never questioned and can seemingly never be filled. The trilogy hopes to expose the alternative. Like an unexpected olive pit on unsuspecting martini-teeth, Husk is intended to unsettle, both with its subject matter and style. The author hopes you enjoy the zombie apocalypse and disease he has constructed. He also hopes you appreciate the pre-existing human condition that puts anything the zombies could hope to accomplish to shame. www.huskbook.com Facebook/huskatale #huskbook
