Lastly, on December 1st, we’ll be releasing Imperfect Solitude by Tom Mahony, a cross between a coming-of-age story and an eco-thriller set in Northern California.

For those of you anxiously awaiting the next installment in the Administration series, fear not, it will be appearing but has been delayed slightly due to events in the author’s family. In fact, I don’t want to jinx it, but it looks like there will be a Book 8 as well (I have read the first 100 pages or so and it’s a pot boiler!).

We hope you enjoy these great fall releases!

Meanwhile, William Walsh is Writer in Residence for the month of July at Necessary Fiction.

Alonso Santina leads a comfortable life in the suburbs of New Jersey with a budding construction business, a new house, and a wife with a baby on the way. When he receives a letter from an attorney in Spain informing him of the death of a long-lost relative, little does he know that what begins as a simple trip to Cádiz with his cousin Sal to claim his inheritance will turn into an adventure spanning two continents, pursued by lawyers and thieves, all spurred on by the discovery of a five-hundred-year-old journal.

Toreth shifted against the wall, trying to get comfortable. Between bruises and handcuffs, he didn’t have much success.

The systems were failing. Something had gone badly wrong, and had continued to go wrong for so long that he’d been forced unwillingly to conclude that it had to have hit more than I&I.

Revolution has come to the Administration, as the citizens rise up against government and corporate oppression. With old and new enemies all around them, what will the new future hold for despised para-investigator Val Toreth, and corporate highflier Keir Warrick? And how long will that future last?

What happens to us after we die? Does the soul live on? Is there a soul at all, or are we just electrical impulses walking upright? Poets and dreamers, prophets and madmen have failed to answer these questions. Maybe the only person who knows the answer is he who ushers us to our final resting place.

Adam is the gravedigger, a shadowy figure with a mysterious past, a reclusive landscaper who has given up the gardens of the living to tend to the dead. He lives a quiet and orderly existence until tragic echoes of the past invade his sanctuary and ancient ghosts threaten his sanity. Do the dead live on? Can decades-old heartbreak be overcome? This eerie and thrilling debut novel by Ilan Herman will leave you guessing until the very end…and beyond.

We are pleased to announce that The Gravedigger is now available through the Casperian Books website and booksellers everywhere. The first chapter can be read online here.
