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.

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.
