L, A Lunatic Love Life. A romp through a strange parallel universe--and a surprising romance.
In L, A Lunatic Love Life, first-time author Stephen Leon White has created a foreign landscape with its own set of rules that nevertheless seem as familiar as the streets we live on. A young man of twenty-one distracted by daydreams of love, Oliver Sandwich suddenly finds himself in a pickle as he tries to jam a "ladder" down his neighborhood mailbox instead of the "letter" his mother asked him to mail. Falling in atop a mountain of dead letters, Oliver loses his bearings as he encounters a place he never dreamed of--Letterland, a loony world where letters live full lives before being called upon to take their places in the words we write; a world where "L"s transform themselves to look like '50s and '60s movie and television characters who seem oddly real--yet are hopelessly behind the times.

Jasmine in my Hand. A rags-to-riches tale: from Danish street urchin to LA princess.
In Jasmine In My Hand, first-time author Mus White captures the world of Pia, a young Danish girl who whirls through time like a space traveler, alternating between an impoverished childhood in Copenhagen and what becomes a privileged married life in Los Angeles. Bringing a bold and original voice to her novel, White suspends the reader between rage and a state of grace. One moment Pia is an expectant granny, looking in terror toward old age. The next, she is the child tiptoeing past the "dragon father." Then she is a twelve-year old minigolf champ; a young, depressed mother in Sweden; a middle-aged matron driving a Jaguar; and, in the end, the "queen of the light switches," her metaphor for being in command of her own life.
