New Fiction

How to seduce a ghost by Hope McIntyre.

Making it up by Penelope Lively.

In this piece of new fiction, Penelope Lively takes moments from her own life and asks 'what if' some outcomes had been otherwise. What if her family's flight from Egypt in 1942 had taken a different route? What would her life have been like if she had become pregnant when she was eighteen? If she had married someone else? If she had become an archaeologist? If she had lived her life in America?

My heart may be broken, but my hair still looks great by Dixie Cash.

Debbie Sue Overstreet and Edwina Perkins-Martin have never encountered a problem that couldn't be fixed with a strong margarita, a whole lot of hairspray, and an ear for gossip. They've learned that you'll only find a straying spouse -- or solve a crime -- by keeping your senses alert. After all, every red-blooded Texas woman knows ears are more than just a place to hang your diamond earrings!
