Walking with Elephants by Karen S. Bell

Suze Hall is at a crossroads. Her nemesis at work, Wanda, has and now will be her boss. Her husband, Bob, is leaving her and the three kids for a six-month sabbatical down under. To top it off, her best friend, Marcia, is missing in action—playing footsie with some new boyfriend!  Adding to this disaster stew, David, the gorgeous hunk who broke her young-girl's heart has coincidentally popped back into her life and has something she desperately needs to keep her job.
Walking with Elephants, a lighthearted slice-of-life story, brings to the table the serious work/family issues facing women today. It explores the modern dichotomy of a workplace that is filled with homemakers who still must cook, clean, carpool on nights and weekends, shop for prom dresses, and "create" the holidays—such as Suze. But it also is filled with women who have the  same drive as men, have no family responsibilities, and will do what ever it takes to get ahead. 
So step into the shoes of Suze Hall and commiserate over workplace politics, titillate your sexual fantasies, ride the wave of a working mother, and fall-down laughing.

Devil’s Fire by Marjorie Kaye


On Christmas Eve 2004 in a small Ohio town, John Arnold, a retired U.S. Senator dines on what will be the last meal of his life—this life anyway. His first life, the one lived as Bernard Baker, began in Victorian London in 1884 and ended on Christmas Eve in a 1965 prison fire. People think that Bernard Baker died that night. They’re wrong. What happened was much worse than the horrific fire that claimed the lives of hundreds of inmates, trapped in cells that refused to open. From the swirling darkness of another world, an old man summoned the Devil’s Fire. While demons fed, Bernard Baker received his reward—everything John Arnold, his young cellmate possessed—John’s youth, his likeness and his talents—everything but John’s ability to love. It’s 2004 and time for another reward. Time for Devil’s Fire again.

Awful, Ohio by Jeff Neal

"Every morning the sun rises, waking Awful, Ohio, overlooking all of its residents, guiding them towards another productive and profitable working day. The economy is strong and the money is abundant, all of which are offered to whomever produces and profits the most product. The masses rejoice daily over the informed opportunity, with the exception of Troy Slushy.  Troy Slushy wakes every morning to the intrusion of the sun abruptly charging into his home, removing him from his enchanting dreams. The sun exposes his collection of worthless possessions, his depressed wife seeking salvation, his withering home struggling for support, and the life-decimating job that is undesirably forced upon him daily. 

This is Troy Slushy’s existence in Awful, Ohio, and because of the exposure to this monotonous misery, Troy’s enemy is the sun.  Heavily sedated by a dream-enriched epiphany, Troy removes his concerns for the demands and priorities of Awful, Ohio, replacing them with the objective of permanently removing the sun from his existence. He gathers his wife and begins a quest to save them both from their sun-exposed lives of suffering in Awful, Ohio, concocting plans and blueprints of various sun-destroying methods. Unfortunately for Troy, this proves to be easier said than done. But luckily, Troy discovers that perseverance is much more eminent in accomplishing a goal than feasibility, as he is able to assemble a massive scheme to achieve perpetual darkness, but not without affecting Awful, Ohio and all of its production, profits, and population."
