Sidewalk Dance

From the author of Glass Bottle Season comes a gritty new coming-of-age novel that examines what happens when one man's desperate journey to become a New York Writer leaves him more "tortured" than "artist." &nbsp; Sidewalk Dance&nbsp;is a portrait of the artist as a deluded self-saboteur. Haunted by his&nbsp;brother's tragic death in the War in Afghanistan and unable to process this trauma,&nbsp;Fisher shuns his elitist pedigree by abruptly quitting Yale Law School, changing his&nbsp;name to Fish, and moving to New York City. Once there, he sets about reinventing&nbsp;himself as a doomed playwright. Unfortunately for Fish, he is more of an idealist&nbsp;than a talent; a dreamer more than a doer. His delusions of grandeur quickly lead&nbsp;him into an abyss of self-doubt, addiction, identity crisis, and isolation. The pregnancy of his would-be muse, Madame Meticulous, the debaucherous&nbsp;tendencies of his alter ego, Partiboy, and the impending destruction of the Hell's&nbsp;Kitchen art gallery where he works combine to complicate Fish's pursuit of literary&nbsp;legacy. His central delusion is that by cloaking himself in the trappings and lifestyle of the tortured artist (hurling his iPhone off the Brooklyn Bridge, smoking&nbsp;hand-rolled cigarettes, growing out his hair, drunkenly clobbering a typewriter late&nbsp;at night), he will somehow become one. As paternity, unemployment, creative&nbsp;sterility, and romantic abandonment loom, Fish clings to a misguided hope that the&nbsp;staging of his play will make all well again.

Diabhal: Diabhal Book 1 (Diabhal, 1)

Kaufman, Kathleen

Diabhal (Devil) is the story of cults, exorcisms and the devil in 1980’s era Los Angeles. Ceit Robertson, age ten, is the next Matrarc to the Society, a cultish, matriarchal group living in an inconspicuous cul-de-sac in Venice Beach. When Ceit’s mother is attacked by spirits from the old world, a failed exorcism results in Ceit’s exile into the foster care system in Los Angeles. She eventually lands in the infamous MacLaren Hall, a very real and historically auspicious center for disturbed and abandoned children in El Monte, CA. Diabhal is the sympathetic story of the devil in Los Angeles. The exploration of the true nature of evil and how intention colors what our definition of wickedness truly is. Ceit grows into a force of nature, as she contains the potential and mythology of the darkest degree, but discovers that perhaps the devil is not what we should truly fear.

Sinder: Diabhal Book 2 (Diabhal, 2)

Sinder weaves together the parallel stories of Ceit, grown to adulthood and having taken her rightful place as Matrarc of the Society, and her great-grandmother, Ainsley Robertson in 1924 Ireland, and the inception of the community that would come to inhabit Sinder Avenue. In 1996, Venice Beach, Ceit struggles with the confines of superstition and tradition that have defined the Society since its start. As her younger brother, Alan, turns eighteen, Ceit enacts a plan to end the Society for good. And in doing so, releasing Alan from what she sees increasingly as a toxic and antiquated way of life as well as freeing herself from her mortal ties to the human realm. In 1924, Ainsley Robertson lives in a secluded community outside of Cork, led by her father, an abusive and cruel ceannaire. Ainsley's story opens with her expecting a baby in a world where being an unwed mother is a criminal act. Ainsley grows to realize her own gifts and connection to the world of the fae as she navigates a world dominated by dogma and oppression. As the sparks of what will become the Society grow to a flame, Ainsley becomes the Matrarc of her people, leading them to a new world, and a new tradition.
