Nobody's Psychic
In Nobody's Psychic, Dani Lamorte sets out to define his sense of self and the world in a discordant collection of memories both vivid and surreal. Raised in a church driven by apocalyptic paranoia and homophobic fear, Lamorte had an upbringing marked by a unique tension between wanting to remain invisible and needing to be observed. These competing desires pushed him toward performance, drag, and gardening, each a reflection of the struggle to find and maintain an image. With every encounter, whether in religion, gender roles, or the natural world—from a prophetess predicting destruction to the kaleidoscope of a drag queen's sequins—Lamorte delves into what it means to have an image ins...

Postmarked for Peril
As the new postmaster of Claryce Falls, Maya Ridgeway expected friendly neighbors, local gossip, and morning mountain walks with her dog, Clover—not a dead body in the woods, cryptic threats, and poachers stirring up trouble in the Appalachian-style forest setting. To make matters worse, the retired postmaster, Burt, won’t stop showing up with advice, Maya’s dragged into the town’s litter war, and the too-handsome forest ranger keeps turning up at the worst possible moments. When a friend starts receiving threats demanding she leave town, Maya reluctantly teams up with Burt to investigate the small-town secrets. Armed with terrible disguises, a getaway minivan, and an unfortunate amo...
