Escape Routes
by
Marsh Rose
Genre:
Historical Women’s Fiction
It’s
1985 and psychotherapist Lauren Olive, a pampered Baby Boomer in the
California wine country, has never owned a bank account, lived
without a man, or seen the dark side of life. But after she loses her
job, and then the love of her life abandons her for his hairdresser,
she’s forced to move to a decrepit bungalow in the backwoods and
accept work as a drug counselor in a rural jail.
At
her new job, the inmates view her wide-eyed naivete with hilarity and
her hardened coworkers resent her middle-class roots. Worse, the
bungalow seems poised to collapse around her. If Lauren is going to
survive financially, avoid going back to live with her parents, and
regain normality, she’ll need to leave her little-girl ways behind.
But success doesn’t come without struggle. Surrounded by her crusty
landlord, the jail’s seasoned deputies, skeptical inmates and a new
love interest, Lauren must confront challenges she never could have
imagined in her comfortable city life.
Escape
Routes is a tale of maturity under duress. It speaks to the emerging
audience of readers who want stories of growth and accomplishment by
strong women in compelling situations. Although it is a work of
fiction, it offers a glimpse into rural American criminal justice
during the 1980s, a time when addiction treatment for inmates was in
its formative years. Its narrative captures genuine lifestyles,
concerns, speech, and behavior without demonizing, demeaning, or
glamorizing the characters on either side of the bars.

Lies and Love in Alaska
by
Marsh Rose
Genre:
Women’s Fiction, Romance
To stop the meddling of her
matchmaker friends, divorcee Annalee fakes an affair with an Alaskan
bush pilot whose profile she has seen in a magazine about bachelors
in that rugged environment. The plan backfires when he appears in her
small California town and lures her to his remote cabin with stories
about the magnetic pull of the Last Frontier and the promise of
lasting love.
In
ways she never imagined, she finds herself falling for both the pilot
and Alaska in spite of the bears, blizzards, peculiar neighbors,
pyromaniac ex-girlfriend, stack of love letters hidden in a pantry
and evident truth to what they say about single men in Alaska: the
odds are good, but the goods are odd. Before Annalee can sever her
ties in California and move north, a shocking telephone call from an
unknown woman rocks her world and catapults her into a whole new way
of life.
