"Coil Quake Rift deals, in an ambitious and imaginative way, with not only space, time, and memory, but also with the yearning we all have to love and be loved. Nathan Elias is a damn fine storyteller."- Donald Ray Pollock, author of The Devil All the Time and The Heavenly Table "In Coil Quake Rift, four characters connected by a history of love, betrayal, and loss, come together and fall apart in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake that opens a portal in space and time. With clear, confident prose, Nathan Elias sets these characters on a poignant and emotional metaphysical journey that forces them to grapple with regret and possibility; the destination is extraordinarily satisfying. Coil Quake Rift is a gift for anyone who has ever asked: what if?"- Tiffany Quay Tyson, author of The Past is Never and Three Rivers "Coil Quake Rift is a cinematic, contemplative, reality-bending page-turner deepened by its vivid Los Angeles setting and its intriguing questions about multiple universes and the afterlife."- Andromeda Romano-Lax, author of Annie and the Wolves When Margot learns she is carrying her husband Knox's child, she questions if she can bear another loss after a failed pregnancy divided her and Jason. Knox celebrates the news-despite the sorrow and guilt still lingering after his astrophysicist ex, Tiffany, died one year ago- until an earthquake jostles their Hollywood apartment and strips them of power. Moments later, when a small fissure opens in Venice Beach, Jason discovers an abandoned little girl outside his home. As authorities prove unable to help them, Jason determines that the already-fraught city and child are both worse off than he initially imagined. And Tiffany? After the sting of Knox's betrayal, she programmed the RIFT-a byproduct of her particle collider-to activate after her suicide. Thus, a ground-opening black hole is created, into which Margot, Knox, and Jason must descend. In multiple hall-of-mirror-like alternate universes, they are confronted with a choice: Accept the true pain of losing someone you love, or live a lie wherein the loved one was never lost?

Jasmine Wills doesn't know it, but every moment of her heretofore humdrum life is being televised on a reality TV show called Diet Extreme. And America is mesmerized. Wait till she finds out! Preston Price, the improbable impresario, is a man bent at a 45-degree angle. Or is he? Nothing is as it seems in this propulsive and slightly terrifying novel. Lee Rozelle has staked claim on a wild new territory of obsession, loss, betrayal, and unspeakable secrets. There is a surprise on every page in this breathtaking comic romp. Enjoy the ride, but hold onto your hat-the road's a little bumpy up ahead.- JOHN DUFRESNE, author of I Don't Like Where This Is Going Ballad of Jasmine Wills is a fast, furious ride and I loved every twist. Jasmine is the antihero the world needs right now-smart, resourceful, and full-bodied. A totally dark and enjoyable read.- DANA SCHWARTZ, author of Early Birds A zany twist on the Southern Gothic, Ballad of Jasmine Wills is a wild and heartfelt tale of abduction and revenge, body shaming and media fame. Lee Rozelle's debut novel is the story of overweight banker Jasmine and her kidnapper, the enigmatic reality TV mastermind Preston Price. Trapped inside an egg-shaped studio in the secluded backwoods, Jasmine is tortured with haute cuisine, brainwashed with self-help videos, and badgered with cardio exercise routines for her growing mass of livestream fans. Filled with flashbacks of adolescent nuttiness and ennui in the 1980s, Ballad of Jasmine Wills goes bizarro to explore links between reality TV and the real, intervention and exploitation.

The age of man has come to an end. The world is in ruins. Dwellers-ancient cowled monstrosities born of an unknowable dark power-hunt the remnants of civilization across the Mist-shrouded wastelands. Through this nightmarish landscape, Donovan Maltrese, last of the ancient Order of Swordsmen, pursues the Cleric, who through his unholy power has condemned Donovan to spiral slowly into inevitable madness. His home decimated, the rest of the Order slain, and his sanity slipping day by day, Donovan and the young girl Jana Hunter, herself a victim of the Cleric's dark magic, must travel to the end of the world in order to confront their sworn enemy and discover a cure for their affliction-if one exists at all. But little do they know that the secrets awaiting them there will determine not only their fate, but the fate of all mankind. "Forged with prose as bright and polished and sharp as a broadsword's blade and fused with characters who shine like gemstones, The Swordsman is a masterfully wrought fantasy." - Matthew C. Lucas (author of The Mountain)
