List price: $27.95 Available now, Requiem For Locusts, the dynamite book by first time novelist Wendy Parciak http://www.RequiemForLocusts.com I think my head is so full it might burst and the people here could fly around like frantic locusts for their whole lives ... I think something is going to change soon, something must change, but whether this is good or bad, I do not know. In an incredible tour de force, Wendy Parciak drops you into the experience of a young woman's disordered mind and how her odd behavior sends shock waves throughout the seemingly placid neighborhood, forcing the larger-than-life characters to creep out of their alienated shells, as they confront the mirrors of their own selves when reflected in the madness of another. Requiem For Locusts is a story of transformation that will make you both grin and weep. _________________________________________________________________ Look for Requiem For Locusts and The Unraveling Thread in your local book store or on line.

Divorced Harriet McWhinnie returns home from her high finance job to discover that the newest Agency person has fled the house, leaving Harriet's young son in the care of her demented (and naked) mother, her teenage adolescent twins (one psychotic, one not) screaming at each other, and a dog that's bonkers. Desperate, she hires Agatha, a middle-aged Native American woman, with a mysterious past and a commanding presence. Such are the tangled threads Cogan weaves in The Unraveling Thread, illustrating both the family ties that bind and the family binds that tie us all to Home.
