Ndima Ndima
by Tsitsi Mapepa
From the red soil of her garden in Southgate 1, a crowded suburb of Harare, Nyeredzi watches the world. She knows not to venture beyond the grasses that fence them off from the bush, where the city's violent criminals and young lovers claim the night. But on this red soil, she is sovereign. It is here where she learns how to kill snakes, how to fight off a man, and how to take what she is due. It is here where Nyeredzi and her three older sisters are raised, and where they will each find a different destiny.
Decades prior, a young woman abandons a position of great power to seek justice in the second Chimurenga War, only to return to find her world in shambles. So Zuva Mutongi sets off to build a world of her own, raising four daughters--Nyeredzi, Hannah, Abigail, and Ruth--and defending them from the evils beyond their small Harare home. But when a letter from her long-estranged brother calls her back to a past life, Zuva must reconcile with her duty and heal the broken community she left behind.
Tsitsi Mapepa's vibrant debut is the history of a new Zimbabwe, with resilient women and men who raised a nation from its ashes. It is the chronicle of an L-shaped house, long awaited and much beloved, and the guests, welcome and unwelcome, who cross its threshold. It is the coming-of-age of four sisters, who will discover the secrets of womanhood on the volatile streets of Harare. But above all, it is a love song to one woman--a soldier, healer, chief, and mother--whose fierce devotion to her people is a testament to the bonds of blood that bind us all.

by Nick Bantock
Little is known of the fascinating manuscript that Nick Bantock has come to possess.

In these stories-each consisting of precisely 100 words-strange creatures slip through alleyways, and eerie streets swallow people whole. Taken altogether, they may constitute a puzzle that no one has been able to solve thus far. Could there even be one missing story?

On the Way to the End of the World
by Adrianne Harun
In 1963, an eclectic group of characters embark on President Kennedy's ambitious walking challenge.
As the Cuban Missile Crisis eases, President Kennedy is casting around for a demonstration of American prowess when one of his Cabinet unearths an old mandate that US Marines be fit enough to walk fifty miles in twenty hours. Perfect! Kennedy decides to throw down the gauntlet to "today's Marines," but before he knows it, he's sparked a wild fad. The entire country has answered the call, it seems, and for a few crazed winter weeks, masses of Americans will embark on their own arduous Big Walks--the "JFK 50-Milers."
Yet in tiny Humtown--an isolated mill town in the Pacific Northwest--not everyone who shows up for a hastily organized Big Walk is motivated by patriotism. Not Helen Hubka, an inveterate gossip; not the suicidal Caroline, who months earlier lost her beloved husband during the Storm of the Century. Not ex-soldier/fisherman Jaspar Goode, nor the unknown man in their midst, a collared priest who seems to shift identities at will. Certainly not Avis, a battered teenager running from her terrifying brother . . . with a stolen town treasure. And when the walkers stumble upon the abandoned car of a missing young mother, they rekindle a mystery that soon reverberates among them, exposing hidden truths, talents, and alliances.

Nadine's country is one where single mothers and children born out of wedlock are considered pariahs, outside the protection of the law. Why would a journalist disclose the child's name? And why was she sent this clipping? Nadine embarks on a search that takes her into a Casablanca she barely knew existed, into her own family's history and her country's past, in which her family is entwined.
A vivid, kaleidoscopic portrait of a Casablanca household.

But this Tuesday's different. An argument with the girlfriend, a little unintentional vehicular homicide of an unsuspecting cyclist, and the next thing you know, Lee's life's upended like a bushel of rotten peaches. Well, mostly upended. Because when you're a fine upstanding citizen, and your victim is a quail-human ne'er-do-well who won't be missed by society, who's to say what's right, really?

Before I'm gone
by Heidi McLaughlin
"Palmer Sinclair has never needed anyone's help. A successful loan officer, she's all work and no play. But when splitting headaches and blurred vision begin to affect her job, she begrudgingly sees a doctor and receives a diagnosis that leaves her shaken to her core and with little time left. Facing an uncertain future, Palmer makes a bucket list, determined to do the things she'd only dreamed of before she goes. Kent Wagner has dedicated his life to helping others. An army medic turned paramedic, he's a regular at Palmer's bank who makes his monthly car loan payments in person just to see her radiant smile. After responding to not one but two 911 calls involving Palmer, he learns about her bucket list. Touched by her circumstances-and needing a distraction from his own-Kent offers to take Palmer to the places on her list. Neither is prepared for the emotional journey ahead...or how little time they have left together, but the friendship they find in that brief time might be the most lasting legacy of all"

The cliff house
by Christopher Brookmyre
"Jen Dunne is forty-two and getting married for the second time, but that doesn't mean she can't go all out for her bachelorette weekend. She's booked three days of super-exclusive luxury accommodation on a remote Scottish island for herself and six other women. There's Jen's tennis coach and a fellow tennis-playing fashionista; a famous pop star and that pop star's estranged ex-bandmate; plus Jen's future sister-in-law and the sister of her first husband. The helicopter won't be back for seventy-hours and they have the island all to themselves-or so they think. As the cocktails flow, old grudges begin to emerge and tempers to fray. Then one of the women goes missing. The others receive a threatening message urging one of them to confess a terrible secret. But whose secret is it? Each woman has a darkness in her past she's reluctant to admit. But they'll all have to come clean if they want to make it off the island alive"

And how fast could he get back to the city? After all, it couldn't be that difficult to convince one elderly couple to take the money to retire. He didn't count on getting sucked into life on the lake. Sure, the people might be...eccentric, and Rosie might seem like a pain in the backside, but there is something alluring about the place. And with the holidays nearing, and the deadline looming, Rosie and Everett are about to discover the magic of a Christmas at Corgi Cove"

Generation ship
by Michael Mammay
"In 2108, Colony Ship Voyager departed Earth for the planet of Promissa with 18,000 of the world's best and brightest on board. 250 years and 27 light years later, an arrival is imminent. But all is not well. The probes that they've sent ahead to gather the data needed to establish any kind of settlement aren't responding, and the information they have received has presented more questions than answers. It's a time when the entire crew should be coming together to solve the problem, but science officer Sheila Jackson can't get people to listen. With the finish line in sight, a group of crewmembers want an end to the draconian rules that their fore bearers put in place generations before. However, security force officer Mark Rector and his department have different plans. As alliances form and fall, Governor Jared Pantel sees only one way to bring Voyager's citizens together and secure his own power: a full-scale colonization effort. Yet, he may have underestimated the passion of those working for the other side... Meanwhile, a harsh alien planet awaits that might have its own ideas about being colonized. A battle for control brews, and victory for one group could mean death for them all"

A season for love
by Ally Sinclair
"When Emma Love's mother retires, it's time for her take the reins of the family dating agency and build on its success. And she has a fresh new idea: to host a Jane Austen-style Regency Season of glamourous events where potential partners can actually take the time to get to know each other in person, with no apps in between. Emma has no intention of becoming romantically involved herself, of course--she's a matchmaker on the hunt for the perfect partner for ladies like Tiffanie (still in love with her childhood sweetheart), Jayne (recently divorced and secretive), and wild child Lydia (more interested in hook-ups than finding Mr Darcy). But as the Season unfolds, there is one fly in Emma's ointment: the irritating Mr. Knight, with his casual attitude and gentle cynicism. Why is she allowing him to ruffle her calm, ordered life, and why can't she stop thinking about him? She's far too sensible to take a chance on love...isn't she?"
