Passionella Davenport has been unwilling to risk her heart since her husband Fletcher, an off-Broadway director, confessed his preference for men.

But there’s a problem. Jeff’s ex-wife Julie is Passionella’s new next-door neighbor and new best friend. And one thing is becoming...
                     
The Power Flux: A Novel, by Ben Scott Craig
A thought-provoking mix of dystopian, political, and metaphysical themes in a fast-paced adventure about the collapse of the fossil fuel era.

"Dystopian novels all too frequently take predictable paths, but the special pleasure of this story lies in its attention to building believable worlds, protagonists, goals, and bigger pictures.

It's a powerful cocktail of emotion and action, and is highly recommended for fans of dystopian fiction looking for something more vivid, political, ...
                     
Graffiti, by Joanie Pariera
