It takes aliens (or an Emily Jane) to help us see our society for the bizarre, sugary, microplastic-poisoned dream it is. Edgar Cantero. From the author of On Earth as It Is on Television and Here Beside the Rising Tide... Many full moons ago, a young American boy with ambition in his belly and the moon in his veins followed his destiny west, determined to carve a path to success no matter the carnage. Two centuries later, a city is captivated by the strange and savage murder of a young woman. Her roommate, Natasha, no longer able to afford their apartment alone - and hounded by both rumours of wolves and a pop-star''s angry fan-swarm - has resorted to living in her car. There''s nothing left for her... except vengeance. Across town, Shane LaSalle is about to see his wildest dreams come true. He already has a gorgeous apartment and a high paying job in venture capital. Now the partners of Barrington Equity have invited him to board the company''s private jet for an exclusive retreat. But with partnership finally in his reach, Shane realizes he''s losing his taste for just how ruthless and all - consuming the firm is. Epic and electric, American Werewolves brings readers from the wilds of the New World to the opulent board rooms and golf courses of the twenty-first century, where devouring the weak is an American birth right as old as the country itself.

The USA Today bestselling author of On Earth as It Is on Television returns with an earnest, humorous novel on the pressures of adult life, the magic of childhood, and what swims in between. As a lonely ten-year-old resident of Pearl Island, Jenni Farrow befriends Timmy Caruso and together they enjoy a glorious summer of swimming, fireworks, and carnival rides. (Not to mention rescuing a strange sea creature from a tidepool). Then, one late summer day, Timmy disappears. Thirty years later, Jenni - now Jenn Lanaro, bestselling author of the Philipia Bay action-romance series - is desperate to escape the fatigue of her career and her soon-to-be-ex-husband. With her Pokemon-obsessed children in tow, Jenn rents a summer house on Pearl Island. But shortly after she arrives, a boy emerges from the nighttime sea. His name, he says, is Timmy Caruso. He''s ten years old. And he''s on a mission to save the world. In the days that follow, Jenn grapples with work deadlines, her own spirited children, the mysterious boy-from-the-sea, and her burgeoning interest in a very sexy contractor. But when alarming events unfold along the coast shark attacks, tidal waves, a proliferation of sugar-addicted sea creatures, and a terror out in the deeper water - she wonders if just maybe the young boy knows what he''s doing after all?
