The city is Neopolitan, a conflicted collection of in-your-face sensibilities just on the cusp of hipster discovery, and the year is 1998. Erin Patricia Pierce has just turned twenty-one and has decided she wants to achieve three things: 1) move out of her mother's house before they kill each other; 2) quit her job at Flaming Jackass pizza parlor (and land one at the infamous Acid Pit club) before 'Ed the Head' fires her; and 3) date that cute guy with the hazelnut cream eyes. Alex James has created over one hundred freaks, victims, geeks, villains, super-freaks, allies, and super-super-freaks to help and hinder Erin on her increasingly obsessive quests. You will cheer for Erin as she fights her most dreaded enemy-herself-and jeer the hormone- and drug-fueled decisions that lead her on a gleefully destructive spiral down many rabbit holes.

Miss Mary, Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black…" We've all heard the clapping game song sung by children all over the world. But who exactly was Mary Mack and what are those silver buttons? Taking historical fiction to an all new level, Alexander G.J. takes you back in time to New York City in the early 19th century, to the world of Mary Elizabeth White, an eccentric, British-born, socialite who rubbed elbows with some of the most powerful families in the world. She was also a suffragette, opera singer, pianist, formidable fencer, and is rumored to have lived in a lighthouse on Fifth Avenue. When the RMS Lusitania is sunk by the Germans, it sets into motion a series of magical events connecting Mary's fate to the oncoming war, as well as a tragic accident at a circus in 1897 involving elephants and a little American girl, whose own world gets turned upside down. What is Mary's connection to the American girl and is she part of her father's tragic past?
