"If twenty-five years can discover the internet, the cell phone,
this thing called the iPod, can twenty-five years discover the
secret of a girl murdered, abandoned, by the side of the road?"
That is the haunting premise of "Bury This," an impressionistic
literary thriller about the murder of a young girl in small-town
Michigan in 1979. Beth Krause was by all intents a good little girl
- member of the church choir, beloved daughter of doting parents,
friend to the downtrodden. But dig a little deeper into any small
town, and conflicts and jealousies begin to appear. And somewhere
is that heady mix lies the answer to what really happened to Beth
Krause.
Her unsolved murder becomes the stuff of town legend, and
twenty-five years later the case is re-ignited when a group of film
students start making a documentary on Beth's fateful life. The
town has never fully healed over the loss of Beth, and the new
investigation calls into light several key characters: her father,
a WWII vet; her mother, once the toast of Manhattan; her best
friend, abandoned by her mother and left to fend for herself
against an abusive father; and the detective, just a rookie when
the case broke, haunted by his inability to bring Beth's murderer
to justice. All of these passions will collide once the identity of
Beth's murderer is revealed, proving once again that some secrets
can never stay buried.
From the bestselling author of Anatomy of a
Misfit comes a subversive and feminist take on Sleeping
Beauty, sure to appeal to fans
of Damsel and To Kill a Kingdom. The dark
and deadly world of Heartless meets the empowering
twist of Cruel Beauty in this thrilling, unpredictable,
multigenre retelling of one of the most beloved fairy tales: where
instead of falling asleep to await her prince, this sleeping beauty
finally wakes up. Bitsy is no one’s ideal princess. She’s heard
it all: that it’s a shame she’s so plain, so lacking in grace.
That the best thing for her to do is simply wait (and wait some
more) and hope some prince will grant her a happy ending. Then
Bitsy pricks her finger on a spindle and falls
down, down, down. Into a world where cutthroats and con
artists are more common than curtsies. Where no one ages and
everyone is beautiful. Where an inscrutable evil rests at its core.
A land where Bitsy’s fate and her future are solely in her own
hands—and neither are what she expects.

This fall, the film festival circuit will be introduced to the
indomitable Luli McMullen in Hick, the new film made from the
acclaimed novel by Andrea Portes, who also adapted the screenplay.
The film--directed by Derick Martini--stars Chloe Grace Moretz,
Blake Lively and Eddie Redmayne and features Rory Culkin, Anson
Mount, Juliette Lewis and Alec Baldwin in supporting roles. Hick is
the story of Luli (Moretz), a bright kid from a hick town who's had
enough and strikes out on her own with some "borrowed" cash, a .45
and her wits. On the road, Luli is taken under the wing of a
glamorous young grifter named Glenda (Lively), who has experienced
worlds barely imaginable to Luli. As the two make their way across
the American landscape, they encounter a captivating and dangerous
young man named Eddie Kreezer (Redmayne), a disturbing criminal
subculture, and some hard truths about what it means to be a young
woman on the run, grasping at a future. Hick the movie is produced
by Lighthouse Entertainment and Taylor Lane Productions, with Stone
River Productions serving as executive producer. Though its
first-person narrating voice is fast-paced, powerful and
unquestionably authentic, Hick is a debut novel. Beyond this voice,
what makes the book so extraordinary is that, although all of the
worst things imaginable do befall this 13-year-old girl, she is
never defeated by them. Luli always fights back; she always
resurfaces. Set as a coming-of-age novel, Hick tracks the real
perils that modern teenagers so often face. And it does so with
bright wit, energy, and an indomitable spirit. This is a book that
will grab the reader from the first page and not let go. And it is
written by a woman who is becoming a cultural force in the hippest
parts of Los Angeles.
Nothing is as it seems in this chilling, twisting tale by
bestselling author Andrea Portes, perfect for fans of Madeleine
Roux and Danielle Vega. Rife with dark humor and chilling twists,
This Is Not a Ghost Story is American Horror Story meets There's
Someone Inside Your House. It will have readers flipping back to
the very first page after the shocking finale. I am not welcome.
Somehow I know that. Something doesn't want me here. Daffodil
Franklin has plans for a quiet summer before her freshman year at
college, and luckily, she's found the job that can give her just
that: housesitting a mansion for a wealthy couple. But as the
summer progresses and shadows lengthen, Daffodil comes to realize
the house is more than it appears. The spacious home seems to close
in on her, and as she takes the long road into town, she feels eyes
on her the entire way, and something tugging her back. What
Daffodil doesn't yet realize is that her job comes with a steep
price. The house has a long-ago grudge it needs to settle . . . and
Daffodil is the key to settling it.
We Were Liars meets Looking for Alaska in a uniquely funny and
heartbreaking teen novel about a passionate-yet-doomed friendship,
set against a backdrop of wealth and glamour. Willa Parker, 646th
and least-popular resident of What Cheer, Iowa, is headed east to
start a new life. Did she choose this life? No, because that would
be too easy-and nothing in Willa's life is easy. It's her famous
genius mother's idea to send her to ultra-expensive,
ultra-exclusive Pembroke Prep, and Willa has no intention of
fitting in. But when she meets peculiar, glittering Remy Taft, the
richest, most mysterious girl on campus, she starts to see a
foothold in this foreign world-a place where she could maybe,
possibly, sort of fit in. When Willa looks at Remy, she sees a girl
who has everything. But for Remy, having everything comes at a
price. And as she spirals out of control, Willa can feel Remy
spinning right out of her grasp. Andrea Portes, author of Anatomy
of a Misfit, spins a similarly incandescent, heartfelt story that
explores the meaning of friendship, new beginnings, and the
precarious joy and devastating pain of finding home in a place-a
person-with wings.
