Sweet Child Of Mine


Billy London - 2013
    As a widowed father to a daughter he doesn't recognise, he really has no time for his mother's interference with his love life. She and her church friend can stop handing out photos of him to the single ladies of the congregation and let him try to be the paternal and maternal figure his daughter so desperately needs. Abigail Yeboah ignores most of what happens in her mother's church. She's focused on her budding business and she's certainly not interested in playing Evil Queen to Liam McNamara's brat. But when Abigail catches his daughter in an act of vandalism, she finally understands it's not only the child who needs her, but the man.

An Arrangement of Love


Kenya Wright - 2013

The Doomsday Papers


JanJan Untamed - 2017
    No one knows who coughed, or where, but it changed everything. That cough did what Vladimir Putin and Bin Laden couldn’t do. It nearly exterminated the human population and toppled the invincible United States Government. It ruined me. Before the sickness, I was a meek, subservient woman. I was quiet and useful to my family, but I ate more than anyone else and I got the most thrashings. I was the unfortunate Dare girl. The fat one. That was before. The long journey, killing people and burning bodies, it all changed me. If only my family could see me now. They can't see me. They're dead. Dead and burned in the south field. Father used too much gasoline and the fire spread out of control. It burned acres of thirsty grapevines and almost took the barn. He cried over the grapes but not the two wives and fourteen children we cremated. Thinking about the dead makes me sad. Thinking about the food that I took for granted makes me sadder. Our ways kept us alive. Behind our walls, men can have six wives and father twenty children. The walls are high enough to keep strangers out and keep our secrets in. They were not high enough to keep out the sickness or wide enough to keep out death when it came to collect. The outsiders called us crazy. Uneducated. A cult. They all died. We didn’t just survive, we thrived. It was during this dark and tragic time that the most unusual thing happened. I found love in the most unexpected place. Me, the unfortunate one.
