A collection of serious and not so serious short stories from the coast of Maine. Some of these stories are intended to amuse, and some may touch a chord and bring a tear. But they are all intended to help pass some leisure time, perhaps while waiting for the kids to get home from school, or the even the winter to pass into spring. No guarantee is given concerning the political correctness of any of these stories, but when reading one should remember that some people actually enjoy satire. And for those who do not, the author humbly submits that perhaps those who can't laugh at history may be worrying about the wrong things.

Must Love Coffee. That was the first requirement coffee shop owner, Finn Allen, insisted upon in his ad for a new barista. He wasn’t expecting his valedictorian, coffee-hating nemesis, Samantha Whitman, to answer the ad, or for her to look smoking after all these years. It was too bad she was married because that’s a line Finn, a recovering playboy, wouldn’t cross. Things get muddy, however, when Sam turns to him for comfort during a crisis. Can Finn keep his emotions in check or will he screw things up yet again?

Moments of Surrender, a labor of love for 22 years, is Tanya's first published poetry collection. Her published essays have appeared in Christian Women Today and The Love Express Newspaper. It is Tanya's desire to win souls for Christ, and to see men and women set free by the power of God.

Star-crossed lovers were a joke. Love stories like that were a fantasy put out there by romance novels. Naya Adams used to be a romantic, but that was before her toxic relationship with her boyfriend, Seth, began. Now, she understood love wasn’t something to long for. It was something to survive. At least, that’s what she believed until the day she walked into her first college acting class and laid eyes on Etash. While she swore she’d never met him before, there was something familiar about him, a force that seemed to pull her closer. She was drawn to him like a magnet. What was odd, was that he seemed to be reacting the same way toward her. When Naya is cast as Juliet to his Romeo, the sparks are undeniable. Palpable. Their connection was stronger than either of them could fathom. Deeper than soul mates and more intense than simple attraction. Theirs was a bond forged through the centuries. They were Twin Flames...two halves of the same soul. Now that they had found each other again, nothing could keep them apart. Except maybe Naya’s possessive boyfriend, Seth, who doesn't like to share. Will Naya and Etash find their happily ever after, or will Seth make sure they meet the same fate as their ill-fated characters? Get Pulled in...

Some believe that true love never dies. Instead, their love is simply, reborn. What if, on the same night that three souls died, three new souls came screaming into the world? Tobias, Jada, and Hawk. Two of those souls remain in their tiny town and become the best of buddies, while the third is moved around by a father running from his past; a past forgotten only when drunk. What remains of her soul is broken. When Jada moves into that tiny town, two flames will join together, while the third burns with rage. Will their Twin Flames burn bright? Or will their flame be smothered? Get Pulled Back into a love story that has been reborn.

Historian, visual artist and poet rolled into one, Mihku Paul tells lively stories of Maliseet heroes throughout the millennia; vividly maps a territory encompassing old canoe routes and aunties' work tables; and sings in every register from the mythic to the modern. This beautiful chapbook lights up the Native presence that has always permeated Maine and the Maritimes. Paul joins the ranks of other important Wabanaki poets--Alice Azure, Carol Bachofner, Joseph Bruchac, Carol Dana, and Cheryl Savageau--dedicated to preserving and updating their literary traditions. - Siobhan Senier, University of New Hampshire
