Clarity Trout is an agoraphobic girl with a dream. Despite cowering in her apartment, Clarity yearns to be a journalist for a major news outlet. (Her bland refrigerator blog just isn't cutting it) But after a misunderstanding during her application process with Verisimilitude Media, Clarity accidentally causes the world to end. Chaos ensues when Clarity and her eclectic neighbors are all confined indefinitely to their apartments, while an invisible cataclysm brews outside. Otto's Cat Cafe is shut down, music is banned, random items are confiscated, a lion roams the streets, parents must make Armageddon fun, and pistachios are issued randomly as a kind of warped caste system. All the while, an eccentric internet influencer exploits the apocalyptic mess, a doomsday prophet shrieks warnings from his balcony and a professor of moral philosophy is shaking his head in bewilderment. Can a vainglorious prime minister and his gaggle of inept politicians save mankind from itself? And is it bad that Clarity is oddly relieved that she may never have to leave her apartment again?

Allison is also a Shakespearean dramaturge and Marlovian academic. About the Book Wispy is a little fairy with a big secret. Embarrassed that her brand of magic is different than that of any other fairy, she hides her magic in a glass jar for fear of being made fun of. But when a magnificent unicorn appears with some wise and loving advice, Wispy learns that by setting her magic free, she has the power to spread light and laughter in a way that is uniquely hers.

The solution? She moves to a remote cottage on a forgotten lake. With her husband, Hunter travelling months at a time for work, Lydia can finally focus on her writing with literally no distractions. Her only neighbor is a freaky recluse across the lake with seemingly no desire to interact with Lydia. (Except when he skulks around and stares at her, but what else would you expect from a freaky recluse?) But can Lydia endure the tedious isolation without resorting to conversations with chipmunks? Luckily, a beguiling guy named Granger moves into the vacant cottage next door, and with their shared interest in random literary quotes, this could be the friendship Lydia has been craving. The only problem is, Granger is a little too irresistible, and Lydia is a little too married.
