Seth Johnson

Seth Johnson's debut story collection comprises twelve linked tales set in Kentucky against the backdrop of the disintegration of a young marriage amidst thwarted expectations and contrasted by illustrations of the unconditional love freely given by dogs. A man on the run hides out at a boarding house owned by a paraplegic woman whose uncle's dog gives birth with an ease that impresses the observers of this ordinary event. A young man confesses his extramarital affairs to his mother. A housewife attends the funeral of a young woman whom she never knew. In precise, evocative prose, The Things We Do for Women explores the perpetual desire for love and the obstacles to obtaining it.

The Things We Do for Women

Jordan Weisman

It's science-fair time! In a room filled with volcanoes and lab-grown rock candy, Lucas' old-fashioned Fortune Teller is a big hit. Everyone is lining up to find out what the machine can tell them about themselves. But the fun almost comes to an end when the Lab Rats discover that someone has tapped into the data stream and is collecting very personal information. Now Lucas and his friends must dive into the nanosphere, find the source of the trouble and stop the hi-jackers. Will they be able to defeat the enemy nanovor swarm and get back in time for the end of the fair?
