  We had so many incredible submissions last month, it was hard to pick one. So for July we have decided on a collection of stories from authors T.D. Trask and Dale Elster, set in the fictional town of Rock Creek, NY.  
A town in the middle of nowhere, on the way to nowhere. A town ruled by quiet, country boredom, nestled between rolling hills and dense forests. Bordered by vast stretches of farmland. A quaint community of friendly faces, charming landscapes, picket fences. An idyllic rural existence. Maybe it is. 

But the locals have another name for their town: Deadsville.

  Another month and another great round of titles! Here is April’s choice: Hannahwhere by John McIlveen. This constantly surprising novel has some very dark moments, but John McIlveen's clean, clear prose carries you through them and back into the light of the good, decent people who fuel this story with their desperate efforts to do the right thing.
In a suburb on Boston's North Shore, a catatonic little girl is found behind a dumpster. She is a mystery. As Social Worker Debbie Gillan pieces together the puzzle of the child's identity, she discovers the child had disappeared two years earlier along with a twin sister. She also discovers HANNAHWHERE, an alternate world that is both a haven and a prison.... Life altering trauma becomes the key to unraveling the truth about the children, about Hannahwhere...and about Debbie herself. Truths that could either save them or destroy them all.

  We saw so many great titles come through this month, it was difficult to choose a number one - but here it is: Don't Forget To Breathe by Cathrina Constantine. Bone chilling horror and heart pounding romance come together to make an enthralling read.
Don't Forget to Breathe encompasses so much: heartbreak, mean girls, the bad boy, the good boy, murder and mystery. It tells the story of 16 year old Leocadia, who arrives home to find her mom’s bloody body. Unaware that the killer still lingers, she is grabbed from behind and then everything fades to black.  A year later Leo’s dreams are getting worse—she’s starting to remember. More bodies are discovered that seem to be linked to her mom’s homicide. Will Leo let her memories threaten her into a relapse or, will she fight to find her mother’s killer – only to become his next victim?
