Book Description
In 1982, Derek McFadden, born prematurely at just a bit over four pounds, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Initially, shock and grief paralyzed his family; and then eventually, acceptance came. Derek survived those first precarious months. There to guide him through these uncertain times were many family members. But in particular, his grandmother, Shirley, and grandfather, Richard "Papa Dick" Kenbok, were the cornerstones of love and nurturing. Always there to lift him up. To hold him. To stand at his side. Through the years, Papa Dick and Derek became souls united, oftentimes fused in hard love as Papa refused to let Derek become a victim of his affliction. "Stand on up and do it," were Papa's continued words of encouragement, never allowing him to use his CP as a crutch. Derek flourished. Attending public school and graduating. Writing his first novel: On Ashlyn's Bridge. Finding employment at a national radio network as well as producing his own online radio program. And most importantly, growing into a sensitive, loving young man with an enormous heart. In 1997, Papa Dick was diagnosed with lung cancer. With the love of his family and the guidance of God, he survived. But in 2002, the cancer has returned, now homesteading his liver. In tribute to Papa Dick, and to mirror the love and encouragement that has been his gift to our family, Derek dedicates this book of prose. "Get well Papa. We love you."

Book Description
"What results is a charming tale that allows every reader to smile knowingly. A sturdy, well-crafted, and vibrant fantasy." - Kirkus The execution is for the most part charming and clever, with lively dialogue, easy pacing, and fleshed-out protagonists... Edmonds's novel evokes the magic of portal fantasies while grounding it with emotionally resonant relationships." -- Booklife On the battlefield of dreams, the strongest weapons are imagination--and love. Ashlyn Revere is a bright, determined and resourceful college graduate trying to get a job in publishing. When Ashlyn and her sister Penny are left comatose after an automobile accident, they find themselves in Summervale, a beautiful and perilous realm straight from the pages of fantasy novels--which is ruled by a mysterious Dark Lord. When Ashlyn discovers that Penny is being held captive, she enlists the help of a talking black rabbit and a scarlet knight to save her sister. She learns that Penny is deep within her own fantasy of Regency romance--and that she sees being in a coma as a way to escape from her daily struggles with cystic fibrosis. Ashlyn tries to rescue her anyway, but a fire-breathing dragon and a real-world seizure complicate her plans. As Penny recovers from her injuries and leaves Summervale, Ashlyn is rescued by a servant of the Dark Lord who promises to show her just how precarious her own medical situation is. In the real world, Ashlyn's medical condition has worsened, forcing her doctors to consider risky surgery. Ashlyn rejects an offer from the Dark Lord to remain in Summervale forever, and chooses to raise an army of knights to fight for her freedom and independence. Penny must face a choice of her own. As Ashlyn hovers between life and death, Penny learns that Ashlyn would be a good match to provide the donor set of lungs that Penny needs to free her from the constraints of cystic fibrosis. As doctors battle to save Ashlyn's life, she leads her forces against the Dark Lord in a desperate conflict in the streets of an imaginary Manhattan--while Penny must find the answer to her own destiny in a dying circle of firelight. Can the sisters rescue themselves--and each other? A CIRCLE OF FIRELIGHT blends postmodern fantasy and real-world emotional conflict in a daring tale that will delight adult and young adult readers alike.

Book Description
Passion engulfs all in these wildly imaginative stories filled with “a textured beauty” (Aimee Bender). Two lovers accidentally create a love potion while making a batch of Jell-O. An apartment is filled with water as an act of gravity-defying devotion to an acrobat. At turns blissful, absurd, sexy, and devastating, Marisa Matarazzo’s stories don’t just push the boundaries of love—they show how very boundless it is. These interconnected shorts take love to a new level—another world, where a sex fever can sweep a town and where sex acts are performed tied to the raised mast of a sailboat. Falling into love, swimming, and drowning in it, the characters often exist in places where land and water collide and morph. A girl without hands is rescued from the sea by an oil-rig worker. A boy transplants a fish into the body of a menacing neighbor. A woman on the rebound has an unexpected encounter with an otherworldly water engineer. Fusing magical realism and fantasy with the heart of the here and now, Matarazzo has established a singular style. As she shifts effortlessly among startling plotlines and peculiar characters, she celebrates the fluid sorcery of love—in its ardor, its ugliness, all of its uncanny and magnificent manifestations, proclaiming love the most wondrous magic of all.
