    This modernist tale of the rarely depicted Los Angeles art scene explores themes of violence and redemption. Setting its stage in the diverse boroughs of pre-millennial L.A. and climaxing in the feverish streets of Paris, this work is a kaleidoscope of violent mood and memory, a meditation on art and artists, and an existential, atmospheric, and sometimes brutal parable on the complex nature of love. Writer NONA CHILDE is in love with artists. They are the very embodiment of all her romantic notions. So when she meets DANIEL CROSS, a gifted painter who is teetering on the brink of Heathcliffian torment (an intoxicating contrivance in Nona's mind), she is presented with the opportunity to finally complete the arc of a long-coveted torch song life. What she isn't prepared for is a real playing out of the scourge of an artist's soul; one far darker than any she could conjure with a pen. The relationship that ensues between the brooding Englishman artist and the passionate young American authoress thrusts them headlong into a kaleidoscope of violent mood and memory, of euphoric, self-indulgent, torrential love. They begin to tear apart as irascibly as they are brought together, but not before involving one ARTHUR HUGHES DUFRESNE, a local poet with a devastating past who succeeds in complicating the tangle, in this tale that asks the question: What can be forgiven?

    WINNER OF THE NORTH STREET BOOK PRIZE 2018 IN LITERARY FICTION. While fully engaged in the pursuit of her career as a novelist, Angela Carole Brown has actually spent the past two decades making her living as a musician. So it is only fitting that her first literary release is a tale of music. Described as "a Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance for musicians," TRADING FOURS spins a single day in the life of four people who must each face a crossroads in their lives. TRISTAN BAYLOR, SETH ROBB, CHLOE BAPTISTE and NICK BRANDT are struggling Los Angeles musicians, doing the "casual" circuit (weddings, bar mitzvahs, et al), and who are, on the day in question, faced with a plight to which each must seek a resolve. These are imperfect people. They have their hubris and their vanities, their pains, fears, and pettiness. They are haunted by failed loves, failing relationships and addictions. TRADING FOURS is an exploration into a special world that most do not know exists after the champagne is popped, the cake is cut, and the bouquet is thrown. By the end of the business day, these musicians' lives will have intersected in ways much like the intersection of a musical trading fours that builds to a dramatic cadence.

    A lesson in brevity. Tiny starbursts. In ALEATORY ON THE RADIO, award-winning novelist Angela Carole Brown uses the exacting 100-word story form, variously known as flash fiction, postcard fiction, microfiction, drabbles, short-shorts, and bite-sized fiction, to create miniatures that manage to turn their own worlds inside out. And they do it in the span of what essentially amounts to a paragraph, where each word is scrutinized, and secrets are wrenched from the spaces between. They illustrate the ironic and sometimes cruel nature of perspective, and that we never truly know the whole story. Weaving through the vista of artists, loners, lovers, losers, dreamers, those lost, those found, this collection of microstories explores a world as baffling as it is beautiful.
