Love, Grief, and Comfort During the Time of COVID-19

ALONE TOGETHER: Love, Grief, and Comfort During the Time of COVID-19 is a collection of essays, poems, and interviews to serve as a lifeline for negotiating how to connect and thrive during this stressful time of isolation as well as a historical perspective that will remain relevant for years to come. Jennifer Haupt, editor and curator of this anthology, and Central Avenue Publishing, as well as all contributing authors, are donating net profits to The Book Industry Charitable Foundation, a nonprofit organization that coordinates charitable programs to strengthen the bookselling community. In response to the pandemic, Ms. Haupt rallied more than 90 authors to contribute their work to ALONE TOGETHER, free of charge, to support struggling independent booksellers forced to close their doors. The roster of diverse voices includes Kwame Alexander, Jenna Blum, Andre Dubus III, Jamie Ford, Nikki Giovanni, Pam Houston, Jean Kwok, Major Jackson, Caroline Leavitt, Ada Limón, Dani Shapiro, David Sheff, Garth Stein, Luis Alberto Urrea, Steve Yarbrough, and Lidia Yuknavitch. ALONE TOGETHER is divided into five sections: Love, Grief, Comfort, Grace, and Possibilities. The overarching theme is how this age of isolation and uncertainty is changing us as individuals and a society.

Ava Ruth Campbell, a small-town California girl, has just arrived in New York City to attend NYU. It's a dream come true-a deferred dream, but one she's worked hard to achieve. She is starting a new life, trying to forget a trauma that left her hospitalized and contemplating suicide... But when she encounters Grant Wilder in a coffee shop her first week in NYC, the trajectory of her life will change forever. Grant is older, impossibly handsome, and ridiculously wealthy. And he quickly falls in love with the quirky and beautiful Ava. Despite her hesitation to jump into a new relationship, Ava is powerless to resist Grant's sweet nature and easy charm. A real-life fairy tale? Not quite. While Ava is reluctant to share all the details of her past, Grant's keeping an even bigger secret-one that has the power to destroy even the most picture-perfect love affair.

A secret princess and her hitman-turned-bodyguard... what could possibly go wrong?

NINA 

Becoming the queen of a country is not part of Nina’s otherwise perfect ten-year plan. 

She may have graduated at the top of her linguistics program, but everything quickly unravels after that--and her cheating boyfriend is only the start. When the spontaneous family trip to Maldana turns out to be not so spontaneous after all, Nina’s father reveals that her long-deceased mother was actually the queen, and the court wants her to ascend the throne. 

Yes, her. A hardheaded people-pleaser with an unhealthy obsession with french fries. 

She’s given the summer to decide if she wants to be the queen, to live her Roman Holiday fantasy and explore this quaint island and all its beauty—including her surly bodyguard whose empty eyes she’s determined to fill. 

WESLEY 

Wesley’s worth in organized crime was defined by how many lives he took. Haunted by the good man he once was, he narrowly escapes his life of death and darkness. 

He’s determined to rebuild his life and accepts his first ethical job in years: protect a secret princess whose sole mission is to irritate him. No matter how much he tries to keep his head down, Nina—the most stubborn genius he’s ever met—finds a way to lift his chin and show him that life has more joy and light than he thought. 

But when his mistakes come looking for revenge, Wesley must find a way to control his darkness without letting it poison his light.

Runaway Love

Kate Charles

An addictive read from one of my very favorite writers.--DEBORAH CROMBIE, New York Times bestselling author The Reverend Callie Anson should have learned her lesson by now: revisiting the past is seldom a good idea. But she succumbs to peer pressure and attends a reunion at her theological college in Cambridge, where she is forced to confront painful memories--and the presence of her clueless ex, Adam. Margaret Phillips, the Principal of the college, has a chance for happiness but before she can grasp it she has to deal with her own ghosts--as well as corrosive, intrusive gossip. Both Margaret and Callie learn something about themselves, and about forgiveness, from wise retired priest John Kingsley. Meanwhile, in London, police officers Neville Stewart and Mark Lombardi are involved with the stabbing of a teenager. Was the victim--gifted, popular schoolboy Sebastian Frost--all he seemed to be, or was there something in his life that led inevitably to his death? The police find themselves in the queasy world of cyber-bullying, where nothing may be as it seems. While they're apart, Callie and Mark's relationship is on hold, and his Italian family continues to be an issue. Will Mark realize, before it's too late, that while his family will always be important to him, he is entitled to something for himself?

A Novel

A sweet and spicy holiday romance between a spirited artist who returns to her small town for Christmas and her older brother's best friend, a serious architect who pushes all her buttons--but whom she can't seem to stay away from. Now with exclusive bonus content! Lena's plans are simple. Surprise her family for Christmas, don't tell them she lost her job, and most importantly, spend the week relaxing with the people she cares about. But when she arrives in Juniper, she discovers she's not the only unexpected guest this year. Her older brother's best friend, Gavin, is back after disappearing three years ago without a word. He has the kind of charm Lena has always been drawn to. But she knows he's also the kind of temptation she needs to stay far away from. Gavin has built his architecture career out of planning strategies for dealing with the unexpected--but he didn't have a strategy for the possibility of seeing Lena again. Though he's been dreaming of her since the day he left, he can't risk giving in to his feelings when they could upend the only family and home he has ever known. New plan: try to be friends again. Just friends. But as the pieces fall into place about why Gavin left, staying friends is the last thing on his mind...and on Lena's. All the plans they've made might end up completely wrecked. And for once, maybe they want it that way.

War of the Elements: Book One

They said it would be a great war to end all wars. To create peace between the Elemental Empires: Fire, Water and Earth. As one war ended, another started. The gods came back with a vengeance because peace was never meant to be an option. Now, the lands of Zephryine are cracking, the ocean is a living plague, and crops have become nothing more than skeletons. To Althea Viteri, the destruction of the realm is the only way to set her family free from the clutches of Audor, the Empire of Fire. Her family has nowhere to run. Not with the bands marking their wrists as the chattel of the Empire. But she harbors a secret written on her skin - a power that she's successfully hidden for twenty-three years, until one day it unleashes itself, catching the eye of King Cyrus. Taken prisoner in the palace and with the constant threat that the people she loves will be slaughtered, her only option is to escape. Yet the longer she's a prisoner the more she realizes there may be more to her untamed power than she initially thought. Something that makes her a danger not only to herself, but to the world.
