Where do the Clouds go? - 🇷🇴
by Serge Ioan Celebidachi & James Oliver
"'Dan is a carefree young man with everything going for him, but a bicycle ride with his brother and friends, one warm summer’s afternoon, ends in tragedy as a serious accident leaves him in a coma.
With Dan stranded between life and death, in the intensive care unit of a Bucharest hospital, his subconscious alter ego is transported into a parallel reality, where he faces a titanic physical and psychological battle to find his way back."

Thank You, Amelia Earhart - 🇺🇸
by Al Mertens
"Health issues are finally forcing Myrtle out of her house. In her nineties, she's foul-mouthed and bigoted to everyone, including Season, her latest fresh-out-of-school caregiver. Has Myrtle finally met her match? The truths the two women learn from each other leave both forever changed. "Thank You, Amelia Earhart" is, at times, a somewhat brutal meditation on all sortsa stuff: ageism, racism, health care, soul-crunching regret... But it's also about: pursuing dreams, a twisting lifetime relationship between lovers, and Evening in Paris perfume.
And, sprinkled on top...lotsa Girl Power!"
