SOUVENIR by Therese Fowler Random House ISBN: 0345499689, $22 Pub date: Feb. 12, 2008  “In this powerful fiction debut, Therese Fowler combines the emotional resonance of Nicholas Sparks with the intense, true-to-life richness of Jodi Picoult to create a stunning and dramatic novel all her own.
Meg Powell and Carson McKay grew were raised side by side on their families’ farms, bonded by a love that only deepened. Everyone in their small rural community in northern Florida thought that Meg and Carson would always be together. But at twenty-one, Meg was presented with a marriage proposal she could not refuse, forever changing the course of her life.
Seventeen years later, Meg’s marriage has become routine, and she spends her time juggling the demands of her medical practice, the needs of her widowed father, and the whims of her rebellious teenage daughter, Savannah, who is confronting her burgeoning sexuality in a dangerous manner, and pushing her mother away just when she needs her most. Then, after a long absence, Carson returns home to prepare for his wedding to a younger woman. As Carson struggles to determine where his heart and future lie, Meg makes a shocking discovery that will upset the balance of everyone around her.
Unfolding with warmth and passion, Therese Fowler’s vibrant and moving debut illuminates the possibility of second chances, the naïve choices of youth, the tensions within families, and the wondrous designs of fate. A searing yet redemptive novel, Souvenir is an unforgettable tale about the transforming power of love.”

 A Broom of One's Own: Words on Writing, Housecleaning, and Life by Nancy Peacock nonfiction ISBN 978-0-06-135787-9 $13.95 Harper Perennial
For the twice-published novelist, reading an article about herself in the National Enquirer - under the headline "Here's One for the Books: Cleaning Lady is Acclaimed Author"- was more than a shock. It was an inspiration. In A Broom of One's Own, Nancy Peacock, whose first novel was selected by the New York Times as a Notable Book of the Year, explores with warmth, wit, and candor what it means to be a writer. An encouragement to all hard-working artists, no matter how they make their living, Peacock's book provides valuable insights and advice on motivation, craft, and criticism while offering hilarious anecdotes about the houses she cleans. |

Angels, Thieves, and Winemakers by Joseph Mills Release Date: April 2008
ISBN: 978-0-9793049-9-6
Publisher: Press 53
Paperback, approx. 98 pages, $12.00
 Angels, Thieves, and Winemakers collects over fifty poems about wine from Joseph Mills, the author of Somewhere During the Spin Cycle and co-author of A Guide to North Carolina’s Wineries. The poems range from humorous observations about the industry to meditations on aging. In accessible yet evocative language, Mills suggests our relationship with wine can be seen as a metaphor for our lives and relationships with one another. “Joe Mills takes the chestnut of wine as a provider of truth and gives us something wonderfully original. These poems are smart without being stuffy, humorous but never coy, and full of startlingly sharp details that took my breath away. Mills' observations about love, intimacy, and the smallest details of domestic life make this collection full of nuance, longing, and, yes, truth. “ ~ Lindsey Crittenden, author of The Water Will Hold You: A Skeptic Learns to Pray |
