From the ashes of the Old World, M.O.T.H.E.R. rose to power. The government agency, Maiden Objectives Through Holy Effective Righteousness, brought with them the creation of the Six Daughters. Genetically engineered from the greatest female figures in all of human history, the Daughters were designed to be perfect soldiers. Through their powers of persuasion, combat, empathy, technology, biology, and invulnerability, they would be humanity's saviors - the ones who would reshape the world in M.O.T.H.E.R.'s image...until the day they broke free. The hardest lesson everyone must learn is that M.O.T.H.E.R. always knows best.

Putting Out: Essays on Otherness is a debut collection of essays that showcase, in eloquent prose, the ebb and flow of discovering yourself. Samantha Mann moves deftly between the roles of participant and observer as she illustrates the difficulty of finding love with others and with herself.

Dear Reader, what you see before you is a portrait of a state often misunderstood and never fully appreciated for the wonder that it is. Our stories come from the tip of High Point in Sussex County to the shores that run along the beaches of Cape May. Settle into your diner booth and brace yourself for a love letter to a state infamous for its people and places.
As a publisher based out of Central New Jersey, Read Furiously collects an eclectic and talented group of writers and artists to reveal a different side to the state which gave us Bruce Spingsteen, Bon Jovi, Coca-Cola, Bubble Wrap, Band-Aids, and air conditioners (just to name a few).
Each story is a heartfelt reminder of why, even though it is the fifth smallest state in the country, it's the eleventh most populated.
