Coming June 2008, The Unraveling
Thread, an exciting new novel by
award-winning author, Priscilla Cogan.
Where is Mary Poppins when you really need her?
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.
Coming November 2008, Requiem For Locusts,
a dynamite novel by first time novelist, Wendy Parciak.
"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 them in your local book store or on line. Both books will feature
for the first time in fiction the genetic disorder Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome
(Deletion of chromosome 22q11), a common but little known
condition.
