Marrying Missy by Sarah Elle Emm

Marrying Missy in Paperback
Also available on Kindle and Nook

MARRYING MISSY is the first novel by the very talented Sarah Elle Emm.

Tate Sullivan is in a fix: her best friend, Missy Martin, is getting married.

With constant criticism from Missy Martin, Buckhead heiress and bride-to-be; stress from her intense nursing job; and a short-temper on the rise from her high powered, attorney husband, Georgia-native, Tate Sullivan is engaged in the ultimate balancing act.

Tate has to cope with sleep-deprived night shifts, her closet nicotine habit, her husband's apparent workaholism, her mother's meddlesome behavior, and her ongoing attempt to educate Missy about not making borderline racist remarks about everyone who doesn’t have money or look like her.

When a collision with a runaway Golden Retriever lands Tate in the arms of the newcomer to Atlanta, Dr. Jackson Greenfield, Tate begins to think her mother has concocted the ultimate scheme. Wedding planning has never been so nerve-racking…or dangerous.

Marrying Missy reveals the complexity of those who are merely planning a wedding, preparing for a marriage, and those who aren't sure what their marriage is—or has become.

Sarah Elle Emm captures the world of wedding planning for a particular Georgia princess, but sublimely reveals all that is so often forgotten in that process–love and marriage.

LOST SOULS - A COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES

To order left click on the cover image:

LOST SOULS by John William McMullen is an eclectic collection of short stories, literary excursions as diverse as the author’s novels and longer works.

Ranging from the antics of three men at their tenth year high school reunion; righteous church-goers; investigations conducted by Homeland Security; a tragic dinner in the home of a dysfunctional family; a young man’s temptation with smoking and theft; prejudice and homelessness; a memorable graduation ceremony; the bizarre offer from a stranger; a woman attempting to come to grips with middle-age; and a man lost in the future, LOST SOULS offers a unique look at life in the heartland.

In LOST SOULS, full of satire and folly, McMullen sees what we rarely want to see: life without love or grace. These are not necessarily tales of morality, but if one is stricken with the realization that certain characters have no conscience, then congratulate yourself because your conscience is not quite dead yet. But be prepared: some of these stories are delightfully dark.

McMullen’s writing attempts to see all things through the prism of grace, which is far more merciful than human judgment. His view of American life in the United States takes on political expediency, unbridled capitalism, sexual promiscuity, loneliness in the midst of overwhelming social networking, love and marriage, adults who have never negotiated a path out of adolescence, and draws out narcissism, neuroses, fear, religious fervor and just plain human stupidity with an impish grin. These stories illuminate, if not entertain, by revealing the sublimely ridiculous or the ridiculously sublime.

ODD NUMBERS by Mary Grace Bernardin

ODD NUMBERS

Is it possible to find love in the heart of the Midwest between a strip mall and a cornfield? This is the quest of three friends who meet in the 1980s at the Camelot Apartments, located amidst the suburban sprawl of the southern Indiana town of Lamasco. Frank, who moves from the East coast to Lamasco to start a market research firm, is a well-bred, charming, polished Ivy Leaguer with a penchant for classical music.

Vicky, the noisy downstairs neighbor who is constantly trying to drown out Frank's classical music with rock and roll, is a tough-talking, whisky-guzzling, Harley-riding lady bartender from western Kentucky with a reckless spirit and a haunted past. Between Frank and Vicky is Allison, an image-conscious, self-improvement junkie who gives up a promising marketing career in Chicago to return to her hometown of Lamasco at the urging of her high school sweetheart and fiancé, with whom she has long since fallen out of love.

An unlikely friendship forms between Allison and Vicky as they discover that underneath their very different veneers, they have many similarities, one of those being a secret passion for their neighbor, Frank. ODD NUMBERS spans twenty-plus years and ultimately culminates with the startling collision that reconnects this odd love triangle.

"Touching, clever, and at times delightfully off the wall, Odd Numbers is a gulp of fresh air for those of us weary from forcing ourselves to start the next chapter of a book promised to be a page-turner. "The best storytellers know that characters are everything, and Bernardin's characters Vicky, Allison, and Frank, are like us-flawed but hopeful.

"Bernardin's prose reminds me of Willa Cather, her descriptions elegant but not blustery or garish. Those among us who esteem a well-crafted sentence have a new wordsmith to add to our list of favorite writers. Odd Numbers is a finely crafted story of the human heart." - Mike Whicker, author of the bestseller, Invitation to Valhalla and Blood of the Reich (Walküre Press)
