Bastard daughter of a second-born duke, Emilia Lancaster has spent her life as the royal family's dirty little secret. Shunned from both the palace and the public eye, for twenty years she's lived as a commoner... despite the regal blood running through her veins. But when the entire royal family is killed in a deadly attack, the line of succession swiftly changes course. With her ailing father appointed king and no legitimate heirs in sight, Emilia is pulled from the shadows and thrust into a destiny she never wanted. If this were a fairy tale, the palace would be paradise. In reality, with a father she barely knows on the throne, a deadly assassin still on the loose, and enemies around every gilded corridor corner - the callous, captivating Lord Carter Thorne chief among them - it feels more like a prison to Emilia.

Poetry. "Geoffrey Dyer's impressive first book is filled with beautiful contradictions, its lines turning over into lush, angelic underworlds...Be careful when you read this book. It's like being twice as awake"--Elizabeth Willis. "Welcome to the 'valley of the near yonder hell, an Out West sort of place,' where you will find 'Golgotha embellished in cement' and the 'mascara of Andromeda.' When you are here, 'pay attention to the words collaborating inside [y]our skull.' Geoffrey Dyer certainly does"--John Yau. "His tanks grow roses..."--Anselm Berrigan.
Locked In - locked in where? Cell, house, relationship, physical locks, mental locks, the field for this theme was wide open and the Thirteen authors who responded took advantage of that. Their stories range far and wide, from demons to humans and everywhere else. Avoid this if you're claustrophobic, being shut in anywhere can be bad, being locked in is worse... on the other hand, it's a good read... none of it is real, is it... enjoy!

Simplicity By: Lucas Lamoreaux The world was changing. War, pestilence, genocide, all of these atrocities had become an accepted part of life, something to be watched with forced pity before turning to a reality show or sporting event. The death of others became something to fill the awkward silences on blind dates, next to the weather and what a certain pop artist was doing or what drugs they were on. The people of the States were numb to the rest of the world, safe in their routine of varied but similar existence. Yet, the past few months had invaded that safe and secure womb of media driven consumerism. Odd events had been happening all over the planet. Stories of human beings doing extraordinary things all over the world crept in hushed tones over the internet, changing the usual talk of conspiracies and atrocities the bloggers wrote about daily. Most had laughed this off as fantasy and troubled themselves more with the mundane. Last night changed everything… Simplicity: Book One is the first installment of a two-part story filled with a multitude of characters; some good, some evil, and some who are just hungry, spanning over a lifetime of change and adventure. Simplicity is a story of hope, where love will overcome the atrocities of hate. From superheroes on the rooftops, to a blasted world filled with disease and the undead, Simplicity is a work of fiction, prose-poetry, and a look at how great power can change even the most steadfast.
