Breaking and Entering is a debut collection of thirteen short stories about relatively ordinary people who experience beauty and tragedy in their lives when they least expect it. Each story in the collection explores a facet of what happens when the barriers or bonds between people break down. These breakdowns can be caused by a chance encounter, a long forgotten choice or a simple mistake. Breaking and Entering is also the title of the first story in the collection. It is about a man who has just helped his beloved terminally ill wife die, when an odd pair of burglars break into his house and give him a reason to live. Fallout Shelter, another story in the collection, was initially published in Short Story America's inaugural anthology, available at www.shortstoryamerica.com. "I write to understand how people become who they are. It is only though fiction that we can look directly at the universal truths that bind us without being blinded." Laura Semonche Jones

Saving Sadie and Sasha is a funny, suspenseful and emotionally powerful look at what it takes to work and volunteer in the animal rescue world. In these pages you'll find the absorbing story of Sadie and Sasha's complicated journey from abandoned dogs to beloved pets. It wasn't easy, and the outcome was never certain. Part memoir, part how-to, and part call to action, Saving Sadie and Sasha is both eye opening and joy filled. Jones weaves her personal path to becoming a foster parent with a broader examination of how the best animal rescue organizations operate, and she spikes her narrative with plenty of humor. The story of Sadie and Sasha proves that damaged dogs can recover and heal, and in the process, heal us. They won't be perfect, but then again, neither are we. What Others Have to Say: "Laura Jones tells an inspiring story of relentless hope, unconditional love, and how dogs and people find their home. It's a story that made me laugh, cry, and cheer. A great book!" Lynne Cox, best-selling author of the memoirs Swimming to Antarctica and Grayson. "If you love dogs and good writing, you have to read this book." Pam Wahl, Publisher of Virginia Maryland Dog Magazine. "Totally enjoyed the book." Susanne Kogut, Executive Director of the PetCo Foundation

"The best photograph of my sister is the one on the milk carton." So begins Missing, one of the stories in this elegant debut collection. Themes of family, home, memory and disconnectedness dance with a quiet power through these 42 short-short stories about people playing the cards life has dealt them the best they can. The author's rhythmic and economical writing reinforces the journeys - both literal and figurative, sometimes painful and sometimes freeing - that her characters face. Flash fiction at its finest, Foust's stories are magnets that can pull emotions and reactions out of you that you may not have even known were there. "Like most artists, Foust is self-created-she dropped her first name because it didn't suit her. And such deletion, or erasure, is at the core of her art. If it's true that the devil is in the details, then Foust is the most devilish of writers; this is a sinfully good collection of stories. - Robin Lippincott, author of In the Meantime "Foust's first lines are simply wonderful. They draw you in and hold you for a spell, promising so much that you are stunned when these short-shorts actually deliver. Her engaging multidimensional characters resonate amongst themselves like family members at an unwanted reunion. From naturalistic to surreal, Foust's stories offer vision, insight, and keen descriptive moments that reward the reader upon repeated readings." - Cathryn Hankla, author of Fortune-Teller Miracle Fish

Sins of Omission

Blue Territory is a poetic immersion into the life and art of Joan Mitchell, the great American abstract expressionist painter. A contemporary of Jackson Pollock and Willem De Kooning, she is not as well known as her male counterparts because she was a woman and also because she spent most of her working life in France. Still, in 2013, Bloomsburg Business listed Mitchell as the bestselling female artist of all time. When asked to talk about her paintings, Joan Mitchell often responded, “If I could say it in words, I’d write a book.” Here is her book. At once unique and universal, Blue Territory is at its core an exploration of love and life, and what it means to love - and live - what you do. Meticulously researched and lyrically written, it will appeal to anyone interested in passionate engagement with the world. The book eschews images so as to allow the words to form them, thereby freeing the reader to imagine the paintings, much as Mitchell would have to do before picking up her brush.
