A woman. A stalker. And a retired cop who doesn’t know what to do.

Since he retired, former Chicago Police Department detective Larry Klinger has gradually discovered a deep well of unprocessed grief for his late son who died at the age of six. Now 66 years old, Klinger finally realizes that he needs help to deal with a trauma that occurred nearly 40 years earlier. He joins a group of men who, like him, are struggling to deal with the death of a child.

When a murder occurs, Klinger himself becomes a suspect. What unfolds is a story of love and loss woven into a murder mystery and an examination of a key question faced by countless men today: What is a father's core duty in our complex modern world?

Christopher Guerin’s new book of stories, Loverless Love, is now available.

"In seventeen absorbing stories, Christopher Guerin explores American s*xual mores over the past 50 years. The title novella is a vivid character study of a woman who sleeps next to but not with men. Satire, s*x and s*xual fantasy, and ironies abound—from campus genius to high mountain meadows, from s*xy performance art to the dangerous s*xuality of an ultra-intense workplace."

The Reading by Barbara Monier is now on sale!

"An unexpected—and unrecognized—visitor attends veteran writer Esmé’s reading and brings events of forty years past squarely into her present. Struggling with writer’s block and uncertain about a future with her romantic partner, Esmé undertakes a journey through her own history. Esmé revisits a particular year she had written off as the worst of her life as well as her whirlwind early marriage. In the process, Esmé ultimately overcomes the wounded hesitancy that has characterized her life and rediscovers her former courage and openness to risk."

“A brilliant piece of work.… Ken Zurski’s great gift as a storyteller is that he presents as a chronicler of personal histories that have been muted by the veil time. Once the reader is drawn in, however, we are surrounded by the flesh and blood of his subjects, their plots and passions, their loves and losses, the very fire of their lives which leads us to a renewed but once again shocking realization that some very significant parts of everything we consider to be our unique reality has been forged by all that came before. Much of our ‘here’ stands on the foundation built by those who well preceded us and our ‘now’ is more fleeting and borrowed than we might comfortably wish to comprehend within the daily practice of our lives.… What’s fascinating about Ken’s journey is that he’s managed to merge his instinct for journalistic inquiry with the desire to tell campfire stories that have never before been told.… I didn’t want this book to end.… The irony of Unremembered is that you won’t soon forget it.” —Bill Thill, producer, director, writer & industry podcaster
