The Last Snowfall
Standing Tall #2
by Kathleen Gilles Seidel
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Pub Date: 5/21/2019


After racking up serious injuries, world-famous snowboarder Nate Forrest

returns to the West Virginia coal town that has been his family’s

home for generations. The transition’s a challenge, but there’s

nothing more beautiful than snow. Except maybe Dr. Lacey Berryville.

How can Nate resist this tender-hearted vet who adores every living

creature and isn’t the least bit fazed by his celebrity?
Just what Lacey doesn’t

need is for this larger-than-life, adventurous Olympic medalist to

melt her caution away during the season’s last snowfall. She’s

spent her girlhood moving from place to place, and soon she’ll be

leaving again. So, what’s she supposed to do about the avalanche of

feelings Nate is unleashing in her? Can she leave West Virginia’s

tree-covered mountains behind—with Nate giving her the best reason

of all to stay?

The Fourth Summer
Standing Tall #1



THE ENDLESS SEASON

Freelance graphic artist Caitlin McGraw is living the hipster life in San

Francisco when a jury summons brings her home to North Carolina. But

doing her civic duty wasn’t supposed to include a reunion with Seth

Street, the celebrity Olympic medalist—and Caitlin’s teenage

love. She fell hard for Seth at thirteen, only to lose him when he

left in the middle of that third summer . . . when everything changed

between them.

You never forget your first love, and a decade of fame and fortune as the

face of professional snowboarding hasn’t dimmed Seth’s memory of

seemingly endless, perfect summers. Now, sequestered with Caitlin on

a high-profile case, could Seth have a chance to rekindle those

feelings of the past? Amid family conflicts and hard-hitting

revelations in and out of the courtroom, Seth and Caitlin face some

tough hurdles. With so much at stake, can they trust in what they’ve

reawakened in each other and turn this season of change into a

lifetime of love?

Annabel Lee:
The Story of a Woman, Written By Herself
by Christopher Conlon
Genre: Historical Gothic


Everybody knows Edgar Allan Poe’s “Annabel Lee”—but who was she really?

In this haunting and evocative novel, Christopher Conlon (“one of

the preeminent names in contemporary literary horror”—Booklist)

imagines a life for one of literature’s most renowned characters.

Hers is a chronicle even more thrilling, doom-haunted, and tragic

than Poe himself could have conceived, for here Annabel Lee tells her

own story in her own words…for the first time.




Add to Goodreads
Amazon * Google * Smashwords






Christopher Conlon (b. 1962) is best known as the editor of the Bram Stoker

Award-winning anthology “He Is Legend” (Gauntlet/Tor), a

tribute to author Richard Matheson which was reprinted by the Science

Fiction Book Club and in multiple foreign translations. His novel

“Savaging the Dark” was included in Booklist’s “Top

Ten: Horror” for 2015 (starred review) and acclaimed by Paste

Magazine both as one of the 21 Best Horror Books of the 21st Century

and as one of the 50 Best Horror Novels of All Time. Two of his

earlier novels, “Midnight on Mourn Street” and “A

Matrix of Angels,” were finalists for the Stoker Award, and he

has written numerous collections of stories and poems along with two

full-length stage plays. A former Peace Corps Volunteer, Conlon holds

an M.A. in American Literature from the University of Maryland and

lives in the Washington, DC area.
