But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. The way she undresses ... I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine.

It's the gig of a lifetime for this ghostwriter, except there's a catch: the client, a closeted A-list actor finally ready to come out in his memoir, is an actual ghost. Adam Gallagher has knocked on thousands of doors. An ex-Mormon and almost-famous memoirist, he is used to sharing his life story with strangers. But this day, this house, is different. For it belongs to none other than Roland Rogers: Hollywood Hunk, and soon to be author. Roland has a story to tell, a decades-old secret to spill, and he's decided that Adam is just the guy to help him do it. Except there's a problem. Roland Rogers is dead. Not in the metaphysical realm--if he focuses, he can summon enough energy to communicate via the kitchen speaker--but certainly in the physical, and he needs Adam to pen his story before his body is found frozen beneath the avalanche of snow that squashed it. That means one month, a hundred thousand words, no breaks. Ghostwriting is hard enough, let alone when you're dealing with a real ghost, and so it isn't long before Roland's idea of what his book should be clashes with Adam's vision for what it could be.But the clock is ticking, the ice melting. And as more truths are told, both men soon discover that this experience is less of a coming out, and more of a coming home . . . The sophomore novel from the beloved author of Patricia Wants to Cuddle, Roland Rogers Isn't Dead Yet is a witty and electric new rom-com for fans of Ashley Poston and Casey McQuiston.

He embroils her in his investigation of the disappearance of "town princess" Paige Vandersteen and how it connects to the deaths by suicide of their two best friends from childhood, as well as other seemingly unexplainable moments from Isa's life.

"In Truth Is the Arrow, Mercy Is the Bow, Steve Almond employs the radical empathy he displayed as co-host (with Cheryl Strayed) of the podcast Dear Sugars to explore the joys and trials of storytelling, and to explode the myths that hold us back from writing our deepest and truest work. The book includes chapters on plot, character, and chronology, but travels far beyond the earnest intentions of most craft books. It includes essays on humor, sex, writer's block, and the dividends of failure, as well as prompts to generate new work and a rollicking Frequently Asked Questions section. You'll never think about writing the same way again."--Back cover.

What follows is a race to New Year's Eve, as Molly and Demarcus plan a ésance to reunite with their lost moms in front of a live audience at the World's Fair."--

"Ocean Yoon has never felt very Korean, even if she is descended from a long line of haenyeo, Jeju Island's beloved female divers. She doesn't like soju, constantly misses cultural references, and despite her love of the game, people still say that she doesn't play Hwatu like a Korean. Ocean's also persona non grata at the Alliance, Korea's solar system-dominating space agency, since a mission went awry and she earned a reputation for being a little too quick with her gun. When her best friend, Teo, second son of the Anand Tech empire, is framed for murdering his family, Ocean and her misfit crewmates are pushed to the forefront of a high-stakes ideological conflict. But dodging bullets and winning space chases may be the easiest part of what comes next"--

At the same time, they cheer for the freedom that comes with getting older-goodbye, cramps! hello hard-won wisdom!-as they celebrate the fabulousness of women of a certain age.
