AUTHOR EVENT: J. Christopher McNeal Book Launch - Tshepo's Purgatory
Tshepo’s Purgatory author J. Christopher McNeal will be reading and signing his new novel at Pocket Dimension Bookshoppe.
RSVP now to reserve a book!
Roddy Allistair is an attorney in the year 2091, defending Luther Spalding, a terrorist leader from the American South whose organization opposes a technology that extracts human memories and implants them into the minds of others.
The criminal justice system embraces the technology as an alternative to incarceration. The Catholic Church hails it as a tool of empathy and reconciliation. But the Independent Consortium, headquartered in the fortress megacity of Little Rock, Arkansas, population five million, opposes the devices for one simple reason: they work. If even hardened criminals can be made to suffer what they have done to others, the supply of them will dry up, and the world may no longer need men like Spalding.
As a true believer in the Consortium, Allistair plunges deeper into his client's defense and finds himself pulled in two directions: toward the charismatic Cardinal Archbishop Kitso Tshepo, who supports the technology, and toward the allure of advancing within the glamorous and violent world of the terrorists who oppose it.
Set in a vibrant and immersive future America, Tshepo's Purgatory is Southern speculative fiction about friendship, vulnerability, and masculinity.

Central Arkansas Sci-fi Book Club
It’s Halloween season and I wanted to read something positively shocking so we’re doing YOU WEREN’T MEANT TO BE HUMAN by @ajwhiteauthor ! It’s a little bit much for some of our crew so check out Duo’s Duo-ver, the book club after the book club. So after we talk the first book, we’ll be hanging with Duo as they drink progressively more wine and talk about SALVAGED by Madeleine Roux!
Both books should be a treat but if you’re not up for horrific excess, stop by a little later on for something different. Action starts at 6 p.m. and Duo starts at 8.
This is a good time to remind you all that synopses and content warnings are posted on our Group Discord and you can discuss any past or future book club selection there.

Temperance doesn't know why her village has suddenly turned against her, only that it has something to do with the malevolent new pastor. Though they have nothing in common, these two must band together on a magical quest to defeat the evil that threatens Jenny's lake and Temperance's family, as well as the very soul of Britain.
