  • A Rainbow Together

    by Danny Davies
    The socially turbulent summer of 1964 triggers a cyclone of upheaval. For both the nation and Davey Dodd, a sheltered 17 year old from Kentucky. At the onset, he remains blissfully unaware of the radical changes about to come. He takes a job across the river at a large Cincinnati hotel, which at first only serves to intensify his feelings of unworthiness and self-doubt. The coarse masculinity of most of his peers intimidates him, but at the same time he wishes he could be more like those guys wh... more

  • When We Were Invincible

    by Jonathan Harnisch

When We Were Invincible details the experiences of Georgie Gust at the fictional St. Michael's Academy, a prestigious East Coast boarding school.

  • When Water Was Everywhere

The American Henry Scott encounters this fertile landscape in When Water Was Everywhere. Arriving in the Mexican pueblo of Los Angeles in 1842, he meets Don Rodrigo Tilman (based on the historical John Temple).

Along the way, Sir Basil Throckmorton, a well-known villain and alchemist, kidnaps Antonia, scheming to use her to pave his way to the English throne.
