ADELAIDE BOOKS is proud to offer the latest work by David W. Berner Things Behind the Sun hitting stores everywhere on March 31st, 2020.

Martin Gregory believes he has one last shot at emotionally connecting with the son he adopted seventeen years ago from the only woman he ever loved. A long road trip could be the answer. But the boy has other ideas as the two of them navigate the past and contemplate the future during a summer journey through the American West. The trip uncovers long-held secrets—both Martin's and his son's—and becomes an exploration of whether the deep emotions that brought them together in the first place are more important than what could tear them apart. Things Behind the Sun is an inspired coming-of-age story about the powerful, complicated yet enduring bond between fathers and sons.

"Beautifully and patiently rendered, Things Behind the Sun is a meditative and empathic exploration of fate, family, and finding one's way. David W. Berner has created a vast emotional landscape as vibrant and expansive as its Pacific Northwest backdrop." — Claire Lombardo, author of the New York Times bestselling novel, The Most Fun We Ever Had

David W. Berner is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster, author, and associate professor at Columbia College Chicago.

ADELAIDE BOOKS is proud to offer the latest work by M. Conway Dorsey Lower Reaches of the River hitting stores everywhere on April 14th, 2020.

Dorsey spins a tale of exploration out of a vision of reality in which emptiness stands at the center. Like the story’s characters, the reader is called upon to undertake a re-creation of self and to acknowledge natural magic found in our daily experience.

The language of birds, scarecrows come to life, and encrypted maps on the roadside are among the imaginative visions that Adley Reynaud fabricates and filters through the warped lens of his inventive mind.

He is high functioning, yet mentally afflicted young man, with a narrow band of extraordinary savant-like perceptive abilities. Adley renders the southern tidal marshland through the prism of his mind into an array of colorful visions embroidered with his refracted enhancements.

M. Conway Dorsey is originally from South Louisiana, a place of lowlands, sugarcane, big lakes, oil fields, and voodoo. He holds a degree in Arts and Sciences from Louisiana State University where he also attended Law School. Over the years, inspired by the transformative power of literature, he has published several short works of fiction in literary journals. His long abiding passion for poetry and fiction resulted in the novel Lower Reaches of the River.

The sector is holding up better than many experts predicted. 

Several media outlets, such as publications Orange County Reviewer and Curbed, recently reported that demand for both housing and mortgages has grown by 9% in California over the last two weeks, despite the virus-hit economy and quarantine.  Another positive sign is that more houses are also being put up for sale in the state. 

While there’s still plenty of reason to be pessimistic about the real estate market,  this growth is an encouraging sign for both US and international investors; it may suggest that as soon as services in the sector return to normal after quarantine is lifted, the market could recover sooner than expected.
