Satellites Out of Orbit by Chris Wind

About Satellites Out of Orbit by Chris Wind:

This work of feminist fiction has five parts:

I. Epistles: epistles written by Eve, Cain’s wife, Noah’s wife, Delilah, the Queen of Sheba, Mary, and others – as if they were feminist

II. Myths: the myths within the myths revealed – what might Pandora, Circe, Penelope, Eurydice, Persephone, the Gorgons, and others have thought and done if they had not been the creations of a chauvinist patriarchy?

III. Letters: letters that might have been written by Lady Godiva, Milton’s daughter, Rubens’ model, Mozart’s mother, Freud’s wife, Plato’s students, and others – assuming a feminist consciousness

IV. Soliloquies: soliloquies delivered by Juliet, Ophelia, Lady MacBeth, Kate, Desdemona, Regan, Miranda, and others – protesting the role given to them by Shakespeare

V. Fairy Tales: the classic fairy tales retold – what would have happened if Gretel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and others had been strong and critical girls and women living today?

An extensive 50-page Appendix includes synopses of the original stories for readers who may be unfamiliar with the characters, as well as references to the material read by wind prior to and during the preparation of her re-visions (in her Note to the Reader, wind indicates that the work is “fiction catalyzed by fact”).

Satellites is at once a genre-busting collection of elegant and provocative prose and poetry, a solid work of research in women’s studies, a valuable resource for high school English teachers seeking new material for their Shakespeare and Mythology units, and a goldmine for actresses wanting fresh audition pieces.

Stained Glass Jaws

About Stained Glass Jaws:

Tye Gallagher is a man on the road to fame and fortune. Born in the ghetto, he’s found a path to success through boxing. Blessed with an iron chin and rib-breaking body shot, he’s put up an undefeated record, and managed to fight the reigning champion to a draw. He’s preparing himself for his reign as heavyweight champ, and few think anything can stop him.

But fate is fickle, and Gallagher’s first loss sends the man careening into a downward spiral. Stripped of the illusions of fame, Tye finds himself facing a failing marriage, shifty management, unforgiving media, and an inner rage that has dogged him for most of his life. Lacking the security of a stable upbringing, he finds himself in a battle he’s completely unprepared for. The only friend he has left is, strangely enough, his former rival. Gallagher not only has to try to rescue his crumbling career, but decide what of type of person he wants to be after all the ego and bluster have been ripped away. And without any real examples to fall back on, it is the fight of Tye’s life to see if he can become anything more than just another also-ran…

Big Flame and Little Buck

About Big Flame and Little Buck:

What do you do when someone you love is diagnosed with a debilitating mental illness? You can ask Emeline Bates, whose favorite aunt was taken from her home in France in the 1890’s. Or Clemens Bates, her son, whose brother Truman was sent to the Vermont Asylum for the Insane in 1932.

Truman Bates was heading for a career in the Vermont granite industry until he began to hear, feel, and see things that no one else could. He was eventually treated for a newly labeled illness: schizophrenia. Decades later, his nephew Pat Bates was a typical senior of the Class of 1984. It was then that Pat’s unlikely best friend, Dante Zuckerman, began to seriously worry that the depression Pat fell into that year would lead him to a life like Uncle Tru’s.

While there is no one way for a family to navigate their way through the complexities of mental illness, how they do so is greatly influenced by both the time and place in which it occurs. Equally significant are the friends and community who provide the support needed for a transition to a new normal.

The Beasts That Create Us: The Misfit Diaries

About The Beasts That Create Us: The Misfit Diaries:

The Beasts That Create Us is the first of three thrilling coming-of-age contemporary western crime novels about the profoundly savage life of Iriki, a wild-at-heart mixed-race lesbian girl who is crippled by polio.

Iriki “Ranger” Medina, the illegitimate daughter of an illegal immigrant, is raised on her gun-thug father’s ranch in crime-rife Texas during the tumultuous gangster-driven decades of the 1960s and 70s. Her larger-than-life father, Tarahumara witch grandmother, and her free-thinking mother raise Iriki as if she were a boy on the remote Texas hill country homestead. Her life is defined and redefined by shocking cycles of victory, defeat, and redemption — all related and all mysterious.

Will she survive the extremes of emotion and physicality? Will she survive the fires forging her into the woman of strength, beauty, and legend she strives to be? Or will she die a hopelessly scarred denizen sacrificed to the flames of failure kindled by the people, places, and events of her life? Only the whispering spirits of the wild world she lives in know.

If you love discovering secrets of hidden Americana, contemporary western thrillers, strong-willed women, gangland criminality, and the two Netflix hits Godless and Longmire, you will fall in love with The Beasts That Create Us, the first novel in the Misfit Diaries.
