I Can See Heaven
by Susan E. Briggs www.icanseeheaven.com
"It is the summer of 1997 and the comet Hale-Bopp is on its way. Soon it will pass over the Ohio farm where Henry Hobson lives with his wife, Elizabeth, daughter, Sara, and their three farm hands: the lovesick Jason, the nomadic Matthew, and the introspective Noah, who is obsessed with tracking the comet's progress across the nighttime sky. But coinciding with the comet's approach is the arrival of Delilah, a wanderer with a troubled past, driven to find her estranged son. And as this disturbing presence collides with the Hobson family, their personal histories, as well as their relationship to a larger universe and a tradition of human experience are revealed. Part love story, part road trip, and part dream, I Can See Heaven leads the reader into a world ruled by desire, obsession, and the ever-constant search for home."

Big Brown Bag
by Mark D'Anna www.markdanna.com
The stories in Big Brown Bag offer not just a world, but worlds. They are a little humorous, a little surreal, sometimes painful, but always hopeful. Here are 12 stories peopled by small boys who can't keep their arms and legs on; old men obsessed with dead celebrities; young men obsessed with themselves; war veterans deeply in love with ghosts; old ladies mildly in love with anonymous waiters; a pregnant woman who unexpectedly finds herself un-pregnant; and, of course, Santa Claus.
