You Can't Meet Jesus Wearing Sneakers
and other stories from Morgan Grove

by Kevin Watson
Cover Art by Bonnie Beattie
Publisher: Press 53

Kevin Watson's collection of eight short stories all take place in Morgan Grove, a small Ozark town built from bits and pieces of the many towns the author visited while fishing and canoeing the rivers and streams of the Missouri Ozarks. The people, too, are fictitious, but their problems are real. So is the spirit that moves them to visit an introvert's monument, to protect a secret pond, to serve a bad breakfast, and to try and write a kind obituary for the town grouch. A visit to Morgan Grove is like visiting the heart of America.

Soul Riders

Author: Brian Coyle
Publisher: SterlingHouse Publisher, Inc.
Publication Date: 10/1/2007

Chase is a quiet, unassuming guy. His scheming uncles, Edward and Doyle, are not. Obsessed with the notion of achieving immortality and bringing their dead father from the grave, the two uncles discover a formula that enables them to "ride" other peoples’ souls back and forth between Heaven and Hell. Soon drifters start turning up dead and large sums of money go missing. But when Edward and Doyle’s plans backfire, Chase isn’t prepared for what happens next.

The ancient world collides with modern times and, in the resulting chaos, Chase finds the key to the soul riders. Can he use it to free his lover from impending death? If he wants to see her alive again, he’ll have to destroy not one but two immortals.
