Nagler's Secret; To light

Driving in circles. Past the houses he knew. The train station, dark and hollow, the train yard grumbling, empty cars, lighted chariots. The darkness of the ghetto. Broken frames, leaning walls, cries sucked into the air, neither joy nor pain.  Bulldoze it, crush it, grind it to dust.  Burn it. Nagler shook his head. Wouldn’t matter. It’s all about memory. Broken streets, shattered lives.…

IP Welcomes Mia Kerick and The Weekend Bucket List

Interlude Press is proud to welcome award-winning author Mia Kerick to its Duet Books for LGBTQ-YA fiction.

On April 19th, Duet will publish THE WEEKEND BUCKET LIST, her story of expectations, love and friendship:

High school seniors Cady LaBrie and Cooper Murphy have yet to set one toe out of line—they’ve never stayed out all night or snuck into a movie, never gotten drunk or gone skinny-dipping. But they have each other, forty-eight hours before graduation, and a Weekend Bucket List.

There’s a lot riding on this one weekend, especially since Cady and Cooper have yet to admit, much less resolve, their confounding feelings for one another—feelings that prove even more difficult to discern when genial high school dropout Eli Stanley joins their epic adventure. But as the trio ticks through their bucket list, the questions they face shift toward something new: Must friendship play second fiddle to romance? Or can it be the ultimate prize?

Look for the cover reveal for The Weekend Bucket List next week on @LGBTQreads.

A recipient of a @forewordreviews‘ INDIES Award for The Red Sheet (Harmony Ink, 2014), she has also received Rainbow Book Awards,  a Reader Views’ Book by Book Publicity Literary Award, the Jack Eadon Award for Best Book in Contemporary Drama,  and a Royal Dragonfly Award for her collection of both adult and young adult LGBTQ fiction.

Welcome, Mia!

The Uncontrolled: Hiding Can't Save You From Robotic Smiles by Zachary Astrowsky Genre: YA Cyberpunk SciFi

Tracking Devices, Mind Control, and Visions of the Future

An action-packed adventure set against the loss of free will that comes from a mind control serum.

The robotic way people smile is John's first inclination that things are not quite as they seem in Amber City. At the age of fourteen, everyone is "vaccinated" with a biological implant that makes people controllable. John is supposed to get his shot the very next day, until he and his parents find out about the mind-controlling chip requiring his family to devise a plan to put a stop to this once and for all, but things don't go exactly as planned.
