Book Description
Life for an African Painted Wolf is a bitter struggle on the indifferent savanna of southern Africa. Aalwyn is the leader and matriarch of her pack. With a new litter of pups, she must fight for survival against threats from predators, starvation, and the ever present danger of human poachers. Every day is a desperate hunt, a defense against claw and fang, and an opportunity to teach her young how to endure in a world with no room for the wild. Pups are in danger from the time of their birth, and they earn no name until they pass the many tests that nature has in store. These trials are arbitrary and cruel, and none are ready for the menace of scavengers, venomous snakes, and the terrors of night. The fickle bushveld demands blood, and is not particular about the source. The rest of the pack must provide for these vulnerable lives, battle cunning hyenas, evade a malevolent lion that stalks their den, and discover the intentions of a mysterious dark wolf from the north that shadows their pack. From the great rivers of Botswana to the thirstlands of Zimbabwe and the paradise of Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park, the painted wolf pack embarks on a trek to find a home. Their harrowing journey is set against the vast panorama of the vanishing African wild. Wait a Season For Their Names is an exploration of the dramas of the natural world, inspired by the adventure novels of Richard Adams and Jack London. All proceeds of the sale of this book will go to wildlife conservation organizations that protect the African Wild Dog.

Recent college grad Alex Conner is thrilled to have landed a job as the Hughes County coroner/medical examiner in Pierre, South Dakota. But when her first day on the job ends with a missing corpse, Alex starts to wonder if she would have been better off collecting unemployment... When the cops made some cryptic comments about being careful with the body they brought in, Alex just thought the boys in blue were messing with her. That is, until something freaky happens that no amount of med school could have prepared her for. By the time Alex gets herself together, the body has disappeared and the other residents of the morgue start talking her ear off. After working up the courage to report the missing body, Alex is transferred to the mysterious Precinct 13 where she discovers that her new co-workers—including a cute technomage named Jack—are paranormals just like her.

Book Description
Debut author and Vanity Fair film critic Richard Lawson makes your heart stop and time stand still in his extraordinary and life-affirming novel that's perfect for fans of If I Stay and We All Looked Up. In the hours after a bridge collapse rocks their city, a group of Boston teenagers meet in the waiting room of Massachusetts General Hospital: Siblings Jason and Alexa have already experienced enough grief for a lifetime, so in this moment of confusion and despair, Alexa hopes that she can look to her brother for support. But a secret Jason has been keeping from his sister threatens to tear the siblings apart...right when they need each other most. Scott is waiting to hear about his girlfriend, Aimee, who was on a bus with her theater group when the bridge went down. Their relationship has been rocky, but Scott knows that if he can just see Aimee one more time, if she can just make it through this ordeal and he can tell her he loves her, everything will be all right. And then there's Skyler, whose sister Kate—the sister who is more like a mother, the sister who is basically Skyler's everything—was crossing the bridge when it collapsed. As the minutes tick by without a word from the hospital staff, Skyler is left to wonder how she can possibly move through life without the one person who makes her feel strong when she's at her weakest. In his riveting, achingly beautiful debut, Richard Lawson guides readers through an emotional and life-changing night as these teens are forced to face the reality of their pasts...and the prospect of very different futures.

Book Description
An “oddball fairy tale” (The New York Times)—shortlisted for one of France’s highest literary prizes—a dark, funny, and wholly charming novel about a young boy and his eccentric family, who grapple with the realities of mental illness in unique and whimsical ways. A young boy lives with his madcap parents, Louise and George, and an exotic bird in a Parisian apartment, where the unopened mail rises in a tower by the door and his parents dance each night to Nina Simone’s mellifluous classic “Mister Bojangles.” As his mother, mesmerizing and unpredictable, descends deeper into her own mind, it is up to the boy and his father to keep her safe—and, when that fails, happy. Fleeing Paris for a country home in Spain, they come to understand that some of the most radiant people bear the heaviest burdens. Told from the perspective of a young boy who idolizes his parents—and from George’s journals, detailing his epic love story with his wife—Waiting for Bojangles is a “lighthearted and yet sorrowful tale” (San Francisco Chronicle) that will stay with you long after the final page.
