Prick: Confessions of a Tattoo Artist by Ashley Little: “The book is narrated by twenty-one year old Anthony ‘Ant’ Young, an artist, an asshole, and an anti-hero. After fleeing a violent home life in Calgary, Ant moves to Victoria, BC, where he earns his tattooing apprenticeship under Hank the Tank, a founding member of the powerful Lucifer’s Choice motorcycle gang. Under Hank’s guidance, Ant learns the craft and business of tattoo, but he is also exposed to a vicious and frightening criminal underworld.” (September 2011)
The Common Garden by Martha Moffett: “A young couple find a summer rental on a charming block of brownstones in Manhattan. In the back court, the fences have been taken down and the long, narrow patches of green have been turned into a community garden. Robin and Paul don’t notice at first that now every back door opens into every other back door. And it takes them much longer to realize that the block association is not a civic but a sexual organization.” (November 2011)
Filles and Females by Bev Pettersen: “Becky Rivers yearns for a loving family and carves out a home as companion-nurse to an aging Texas matriarch with more opinions than horses. Bruised by years of neglectful foster care, she avoids the limelight but is forced to team up with charismatic horse trainer, Dino Anders, in order to salvage her employer’s venerable race stable. Soon she is caught between a murderer and a ruthless saboteur…and her only ally is a man she isn’t sure she can trust.” (December 2011)
