A leather jacket rests by Lake Michigan like a black colt sits, a lump in the grass, waiting for a mare that never returns. Nicole Zehner is a young poet who has already learned that small observations and different experiences can often lead to big conclusions and the same understanding. In her first compilation of poetry divided into five parts, Nicole shares reflections that invite others to step into creative lyrical stories that ponder the connections between the cosmic and commonplace as well as the complex emotions resulting from change. Through poems that reflect on diverse topics and themes like a dark winter’s night, Catholic school, the pursuit of beauty, and an eclipse during the month of the sun, Nicole invites others to enter a world that brilliantly intertwines the everyday with the grandness of the universe. The Last Day of April shares a poignant volume of poems as a young woman contemplates life, love, and the world around her.

The collapse of The Flow, the interstellar pathway between the planets of the Interdependency, has accelerated. Entire star systems—and billions of people—are becoming cut off from the rest of human civilization. This collapse was foretold through scientific prediction . . . and yet, even as the evidence is obvious and insurmountable, many still try to rationalize, delay and profit from, these final days of one of the greatest empires humanity has ever known. Emperox Grayland II has finally wrested control of her empire from those who oppose her and who deny the reality of this collapse. But “control” is a slippery thing, and even as Grayland strives to save as many of her people form impoverished isolation, the forces opposing her rule will make a final, desperate push to topple her from her throne and power, by any means necessary. Grayland and her thinning list of allies must use every tool at their disposal to save themselves, and all of humanity. And yet it may not be enough. Will Grayland become the savior of her civilization . . . or the last emperox to wear the crown? The Interdependency Series 1. The Collapsing Empire 2. The Consuming Fire 3.
