Locomotives in Winter is being discontinued and replaced with an improved version of the novel titled Love Underneath. Although the opening chapters of Love Underneath will sound familiar to those who previously read Locomotives in Winter, this is not the same book. Hartwell has used the opening chapters of Locomotives as a base, but the opening section has been expanded, with a new character added. The second part of the book has some events in common with Locomotives but contains an enormous amount of new material and a very different ending, one which we think readers will like. In short, Hartwell has completely rewritten Locomotives, improved it immensely, and considers Love Underneath the definitive version of the novel. Locomotives in Winter is being deleted from our catalogue. Love Underneath is being made available in paperback, e-book, and audiobook formats. We hope you enjoy.Hartwell also has completely rewritten his novel Nathan’s Story to make it a stand-alone work not connected with Atom Heart John Beloved. The new work is titled Space and is available both as a single volume bearing that name and also as part of Hartwell’s collection of shorter fiction, Four Walls and a Passion. As with Love Underneath, the new book is much better than the old. Thus, Nathan’s Story also is being removed from our catalogue.

Luke Hartwell

By turns funny, romantic, erotic, and sad, this evocative novel brilliantly recreates the landscape of late adolescence, when friendships seem eternal and loves reincarnate. Set in Arkansas but first published in Amsterdam under the title Clicking Beat on the Brink of Nada, Cody quickly won praise from reviewers and readers across Europe and North America. The book is so beautiful, brave, and ahead of its time that it even caught the attention of William S. Burroughs. Cody remains remarkably current and continues to be unique in coming of age literature.

What Daniel Did With His Life follows Arkansas country boy Ben Goodman through childhood and adolescence, focusing primarily on the period when he crosses paths with the book’s other protagonists, Pennsylvania-raised brothers Ethan and Daniel Henry. Each boy has a compelling story, and when the stories are set side-by-side then merged, the result is both heartwarming and hopeful. The book is both a coming of age novel and a love story told in fine, understated Southern tradition, reminiscent of Eudora Welty and Flannery O’Connor.

Rainbow Award winner Atom Heart John Beloved chronicles the lives of two boys who become friends at age thirteen. The story is told by eighteen-year-old John, who quietly whispers to his best friend one night in bed, "Do me." This novel is a breathtaking love story and an intense coming of age story that resembles no other book. John's narrative voice is one of the most unique in gay literature. Atom Heart John Beloved is literate, intimate, erotic, and delightful, delivering unexpected moments of grace. 
"This novel is good . . . disturbingly good." - Elisa Rolle, Elisa Reviews 
"A refreshing novel that makes one feel alive again." - Rainbow Awards 
"A brilliant, funny and disturbingly honest look at teen sexuality, sensibilities, and fantasies." - The Wilde Writers Collective
