Where the Ironweed Blooms by C.M. Turner

From the time Jeremiah Sims moves to Romley, rumors of Selena Highland poisoning her husband are such a part of the town’s fabric, they’ve been accepted as truth. The beautiful young mistress of Highland House is scorned and reviled by the old Romley stock – a close knit society steeped in prejudice and resentment.

One look and Jeremiah knows the town is wrong. He sees a young woman tormented by demons and consumed by a past that won’t set her free. It’s all in her eyes as she sits by the fire listening to the children spin their tales. The children also know she’s innocent of the gossip that surrounds her – and even when sinister incidents begin plaguing the property their loyalty never waivers.

This chance meeting will eventually lead Jeremiah to uncover a spiraling path of deceit, secrets and ultimately murder, as he begins to unravel the mysteries of the past to make a shocking discovery. Before it’s over, he will be forced to make a choice between what he knows is right, or saving the woman he loves.

What Survives of Usby Kathy Miner

B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree and Winner of the National Indie Excellence Award
Naomi sees her first corpse in a Colorado Springs grocery store, but it won’t be her last. With devastating speed, a plague sweeps first the city, then the state, then the world, leaving less than 1% of the population to go on. Naomi, a gentle and sheltered housewife, finds herself fighting for survival in a world populated by desperate people, where might-makes-right, and mercy and compassion are in short supply. Fellow survivors Jack, a youth minister from Woodland Park; Grace, a 17-year-old high school student from Limon; and Naomi’s daughter Piper, a student at the University of Northern Colorado, all find themselves searching for a safe path forward…because it’s not just the world that has changed.

The plague that decimates the human race also pushes mankind into evolutionary change. Those who survive are different, profoundly so, in ways they are just beginning to comprehend. As Naomi struggles to protect and reunite what’s left of her family, she must also learn to understand and accept the changes in herself. In this strange new world, her survival, and the survival of those she loves, depends on it.
