WINNER OF THE 2015 IPPY AWARD FOR BEST MULTI-CULTURAL FICTION FROM INDEPENDENT BOOK PUBLISHERSSHIVA is the Hindu god of life and death, of destruction and rebirth. He is terrifying and he is benevolent. He has three eyes through which he can view the past, the present, and the future. The third eye looks inward. If he were to open it, the searing heat would scorch all of creation. One autumn night Shiva slips into the bedroom of 32-year old Anjali Mehta, and triggers an erotic and dangerous dissembling of her marriage and her life. Anjali is a seeker in a world of material overdose, and her fantastical affair with the divine blue skin lover raises questions about her identity that force her to take control of her life and confront her deepest self. Set in New York City, My Blue Skin Lover is one woman's headlong journey into spiritual transformation.

What if a band of women tired of violence as a means of change went underground to dream, vision, paint and recreate the world as every mother and grandmother wishes it to be? A celebration of imagination and creativity, Cronation is a send up of humans, both men and women, trying to do the right thing in what feels like the terminal swoon of civilization. When Eve, a mid-level corporate executive, is swept out of her business life by Cronation operatives, the shift of eras throttles into high gear. Clad in bunny slippers and a crocheted blanket, Eve plays a key role in ushering out the patriarchal era. Meanwhile Yang, the mangy coyote-esque embodiment of all things male, is helped off stage by Harvey, the only regular guy in the underground Cronation movement. Working as agents of the Central Intelligence, Aurelia Astarte Marx and her band of loving but firm Crones know that everyone and every thing contains a spark of the Divine Source. Their mission is to support the birth pangs as expanded consciousness dawns on the planet, while the Crones envision how everything from guns to government can be reimagined for the new era of sacred partnership and creative community. Will the Crones succeed in stabilizing this seminal clash of cultures? Can they neutralize a renegade from within their own ranks who wants to fight violence with violence? Read Cronation and find out! Pat B. Allen is a writer, artist, wife, mother, grandmother and citizen dedicated to learning what it means to be a Crone in the world today. She has authored two previous books, Art is a way of knowing (1995) and Art is a spiritual path (2005), both published by Shambhala Publications. Cronation is a fictional reimagining of how Pat's work to bring the Open Studio Process into being came into the world. Much of Pat's previous work that has led her to this moment is housed at www.patballen.com.

Can't Forget The Motor City...: New Poems by Joseph Nicks

In three comic novellas, three unlikely hero-narrators insist their respective ways into revisionist stories --- imagined or real --- of rescue, resistance and ironic retribution. Darkly funny and politically urgent, their clumsy, self-conscious if sincere attempts answer our absurdly sadistic recent civic despair with complex if almost, if not quite imaginable, empathy.

Kathleen Larronde Hellwitz was born in Hollywood Hospital and would have gone straight to her dressing room, but her mother wouldn't let her because she was determined to be famous herself. Kathleen grew up in Studio City in the '40s and '50s where every other house was occupied by somebody connected to the industry­­­­­--an actor, writer, set designer or musician. Throughout her school years, she was always figuring out ways to get herself on stage. She was also a teacher in Watts in the '60s and a Sunkist grower in the small town of Ojai where she moved with her second husband in the '70s. While Kathleen didn't become famous, she became such an avid supporter of local theater and young people who dreamed of becoming famous themselves that people began to call her "the Front Row Lady." And then at the ripe old age of 75, Kathleen finally got her chance at fame when she started writing and performing monologues at Kim Maxwell's Studio in Ojai, California. This memoir grew out of those monologues.
