SHADOW DANCE - NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!
"With crisp, gimlet-eyed storytelling, Martin Ott's Shadow Dance dramatizes compellingly the tough truth that, whether you're enlisted in Afghanistan, home in Louisiana, or trying to do right in Los Angeles, war never ends."
-- Mark Wish, author of Watch Me Go, founding editor of Coolest American Stories
DREAM STATE - NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK!
“Dream State is a story of survival, blending Lord of the Flies with Yellowjackets, and adding a dash of Fantasy Island just for fun. Loyalties will be tested, horrors seen, and not everyone will make it to the end. A powerful, gripping story that will make you think twice about that next island retreat.”
-- Richard Thomas, author of Spontaneous Human Combustion
