Juanita Brown Tobin lives in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. Irene Cosmo, editor of Pangloss Papers, says, Tobin is "a square-rigged sailing ship that goes right into the wind. Honest as a two-by-four over the head, she has worked at Dorothea Dix mental hospital, which left her with few illusions. That does not mean she is without beliefs. In herself, her writing, in God, and in someone called Simon with a love that passes all understanding." Tobin writes a weekly column for The Blowing Rocket, Blowing Rock's newspaper.
In this searing and inspiring memoir, a runner, now 13 years sober, confronts his past in a bib number and pair of running shoes, completing seven marathons in a year's time
Ransom Street is Claire Millikin's third collection of poetry with 2Leaf Press. The poems in this volume meditate on the idea of ransom to explore legacies of violence in the southeastern United States, ultimately seeking moments of reckoning for these unsettled histories. A fee paid to release a prisoner, ransom can, Millikin shows us, initiate a sacrificial act that drives people apart, but also, when paid, can bring the homeless home. The poems in Ransom Street move through the question of release elliptically, exploring these abstract implications of ransom through a fictional street in a southeastern American town. The presence of inherited violence, cultural and familial, haunt the terrain of Ransom Street, as the poems move through a geography of ghosts, always seeking "ransom," the sacrificial act that returns the self to wholeness.

Seduce and Destroy Blake Corbin is seventeen, bored, psychotic, and too pretty for his own good. Not satisfied with high school girls, Blake devises a new project for himself. He'll destroy his boss Apple Shannon, a cheerful thirty-something who owns The Kitchen where he works after school. First, he'll seduce her. Then, he'll blackmail her, claiming she molested a minor. Finally, he'll take everything from her: her business, her self-respect, and her reputation. The best part is she'll blame herself, so it's not just brute force destruction. It's eloquent and complex. There's layers to the whole thing. Welcome to Liar's Island... a stand-alone series of interconnected domestic thrillers set in the picture-perfect community of Liars Island. Here, nothing is quite as it seems. On this island, families and friendships are more than meets the eye... secrets, deceptions, and jealousies threaten to ruin everything these influential people have built. But it isn't only the rich that live here... and power comes in all shapes and sizes. Everyone here is a liar... just how far would you go to get what you want?
