On April 29, 1959, Ford Motor Company's 50 millionth car rolled off the assembly line. It was a Galaxie 500 4-door sedan. That car traveled coast to coast, taking part in transcontinental races, promotional appearances and was eventually donated to the Henry Ford Museum. Four years later, Ford built its 60 millionth car. A 1963 Galaxie 500 XL Sport Roof, Rangoon red, 390 cubic inch engine, 4-speed transmission. There was no fanfare, no VIPs. No one even noticed. Except for the people in Scream If You Wanna Go Faster. Heroes and villains, girlfriends and wives (ex and otherwise), a B-52 tailgunner, a preacher's daughter and an existentialist possum are just a few of our fellow travelers in these tales from the road. We'll do battle with flat tires, 8-tracks and bra clasps in the back seat. We'll race against the clock, travel through time, break down, bust a few knuckles and burn some rubber. She's got a fresh coat of twang and a full tank of lust. Wanna go for a ride?

Growing up in a sleepy village untouched by distant wars and political conflicts, it was easy for Thia, Mina and Kiara to forget such horrors existed in the Five Corners. That is until the dead child is found; a child that bears the same strange birthmark that all three sisters possess. A Mark their mother had always told them was unique to the girls. Kiara's suspicions grow as their Inn is soon overrun with outsiders from all walks of life. Strangers, soldiers and Elders who all seem to know more about what is happening than the girls do. After Mina barely survives an attack in the forest, the sisters are faced with a shattering secret their mother has kept from them for years. As danger closes in around them, the sisters are forced from their home and must put their trust in the hands of strangers. With more questions than answers, Kiara finds herself separated from everyone she loves and reliant on an Outlander who has spent too much time in army. She doesn't trust Caedmon but she needs him if she has any hope of being reunited with her sisters and learning what the Mark might mean.

Five Corners: The Marked Ones

Shaw, Cathi

Fantasy

What if we had friends in very high places? What if we've always had them? Eons ago, starfaring Osirians genetically seeded a mammal on this planet. Later, they created great civilizations among the humans who evolved from it. One was Atlantis. Now, it is 1245 BCE. A third mission comes to monitor Atlantis. Unknown to the Osirians, the great island sank into the sea millennia before. Commanders Pirda and Sekhet must learn what happened. They find clues in the writings of a High Priestess at a now abandoned Atlantean outpost in Egypt. The writings were hidden thousands of years before in an entry-less chamber under a huge carved lion with the head of a man. Three massive pyramids also lie on this lonely plateau, strangely in the exact configuration of Osirian home stars. To learn the fate of the Atlanteans, the commanders must untangle the chamber writings and a tantalizing web of myths and temple symbols. This is the story of their extraordinary mission to the spectacular Egypt of Rameses II - How it came to be critical to our own near future, and the high price paid by Pirda and Sekhet, to whom it fell to safeguard the welfare of a star-descended people light years from their home and thousands of years later than their time.

Amber Lanier Nagle has always been interested in keepsakes-a glass bluebird, a pocket knife, a dime-store locket, a faded fishing lure, a dented cake pan, a model train car, and so many others. "Why do you keep this?" she asks. "Where did it come from?" And then she listens as the stores and memories pour out. Project Keepsake is Nagle's crusade to collect and publish the stories that transform simple, everyday objects into priceless keepsakes. Told in first-person by both seasoned and aspiring writers, each story in the anthology is unique, yet each reveals common threads that connect us all and celebrate the glorious human experience.

For all his wicked genius and evil intentions, the villainous Basil Blizzard lacks the "insane" aspect of being a Mad Scientist. Nothing infuriates him more than the fact all of his marbles are completely in order, unlike the Blizzards before him. He believes insanity will make him great like his ancestors. Sounds like a crazy person to me, doesn't it? Well he's not and he knows it. Therein lies his dilemma. On the other end, the brilliant and excruciatingly nice scientist, Dill DeMorrow, has created Nutmeg, a little girl who he raises as his daughter. She is adorable. She is equally brilliant. She is made of cake. And what Dill doesn't know is that Basil has recently become aware of the power granted to anyone who makes a birthday wish from a candle planted in Meg's small, spongy, cake hand. Blizzard will stop at nothing to obtain her and through the use of a menacing, reptile-like camera, Nutmeg will be forced out on a dangerous and wacky journey unlike she could ever imagine.

Would you choose to entwine your fate with a hero of the past, even if it meant altering the future? The murder of an ancient king spurs Sarah Matthews to travel back in time, putting her life in jeopardy as she races against the clock to solve a thousand-year-old mystery and pick up the pieces of her star-crossed romance. Her return to Serimone reveals that the kingdom is in upheaval under the new regime, and unable to right the empire alone, Sarah seeks out the help of Will, the town's blacksmith and secret vigilante. But her hopes of rekindling their fairy tale romance are dashed when a discovery about his past severs their fragile relationship. Confused and alone, Sarah throws herself into her mission at the castle, though the fearsome solitude of the stonework prison causes her to seek out an unlikely ally. Damien Lisandro is a dashing Spaniard who brightens her dull world with his kindness and disarming charm. But as Sarah draws closer to him and to the faceless killer in their midst, she realizes that the severed threads of time and the mystery surrounding Serimone Castle are unraveling rapidly, weaving new tapestries of devastation. When a counterfeit Shadow tragically claims the life of someone Sarah cares for, and with Damien running from a dark past and secrets of his own, she wonders whom she can trust. Knowing the murders are connected, Sarah scrambles to uncover the identity of the impostor on her own. But as more lives are lost in her personal crusade, she questions how far she is willing to go to bring the guilty party to justice. Sarah is forced into harm's way countless times as she races to solve the puzzle before it is too late and Serimone becomes nothing more than a faded memory of the past. . . And before Sarah herself becomes a permanent fixture in history.
