A CLOSER LOOK AT MARCH’S
JANE AND DAN AT THE END OF THE WORLD
By Colleen Oakley
A couple’s anniversary dinner turns into a hostage situation, testing their marriage.
THE BOOK
After nineteen years of marriage, Jane is ready to ask her husband, Dan, for a divorce during their anniversary dinner at the upscale La Fin du Monde. She feels unneeded by her teenagers, her stalled writing career is a failure, and she suspects Dan is cheating. But their night takes a wild turn when an underground climate activist group storms the restaurant. To Jane’s shock, their chaotic actions are eerily similar to the plot of her failed novel — one she’s pretty sure Dan never read. Now, Jane and Dan must work together to survive the hostage situation. With everything on the line, they must confront their marriage and the possibility of a new beginning. If they can survive this, maybe they can survive anything — even each other.

COVET THE CHAOS
By Caleb Shawn Sully
Inspired by real, extraordinary events …
THE BOOK
Haunted by the battlefield, a soldier escapes to Ukraine with the Peace Corps, chasing redemption in the shadows of war. But the idyllic village he hoped would heal him is far from simple — its quiet streets hum with post-Soviet tension, and his own demons refuse to stay buried.
Caught between the enigmatic Katya and the volatile Sgt. Ramsey, he discovers that redemption isn’t about running from the past — it’s about facing it head-on. As cultures collide and secrets unravel, he’s forced to reckon with the weight of suffering and the fragile hope for meaning in a chaotic world.
This is not just a story of survival — it’s a visceral, heart-wrenching journey toward truth, connection, and the unyielding spirit of humans.
THE AUTHOR
