All I Can Take of You
This exuberant fiction debut of fourteen linked short stories and a novella portrays the comic and sometimes wrenching expedition of a young woman during a life of unexpected outcomes. By turns mercilessly satirical and achingly tender, the book yanks the reader into Brynn Wittman’s antic adventures and their consequences, mostly told from her own unsparing, even self-lacerating perspective.
The Remnant
Young newlywed Dar Beaumont is trapped in a box of her own making that keeps growing tighter, smaller and scarier. On the surface, her life in the mid-1970s is blossoming. She adores her handsome husband Roc, who has just won his dream job of assistant district attorney in San Marcos, a town that resembles Santa Cruz on the beautiful California central coast.

The August, 2014 issue edited by Christopher T Garry features 140 pages of never before seen stories from eight new authors, creating narratives that are variously dark, cynical, inspiring, violent and longing. Black Denim Lit is a monthly journal of fiction available on the web and eReaders.
A Season of Turbulence

The other woman, Kitty, has just gotten out of prison and is fleeing to Alaska to escape her abusive boyfriend, Duke.
Author Linda Boroff expertly braids well-developed plot, vivid setting, and exceptional lyricism by using utterly raw prose to echo the raw landscape.
Murder in Fashion, written by Linda Boroff and directed by Ben Waller, is a straightforward, well-paced, resourcefully made account of handsome but crazed Andrew Cunanan’s 1997 serial killing spree that culminated with his fatal shooting of Gianni Versace in Miami Beach.

…Terrific writing, very strong; quietly powerful story, at once direct and complex; beautifully achieved and thoroughly satisfying.
