"Recovering Ruthless" by Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara

We are happy to announce that copies of "Recovering Ruthless," the latest novel in the BryonySeries "Ruthless" trilogy by Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara, will be available for purchase on Calkins Day.

Calkins Day 2025 will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 13 at The Book Market in Crest Hill.

If you are unfamiliar with Calkins Day (you shouldn't be) or if you need a refresher on this holiday, be sure you read this post, which will also familiarize you with Ed's other books and the books in which he appears as himself as a character.

Below is the synopsis for "Recovering Ruthless." If you're looking for an outrageous trilogy of literary nonsense (think Lewis Carroll for adults) that is also quite a bit of "heart" among its pages, the Ruthless series is for you.

Happy Saturday!

If you knew your future, would it help at all?

If you are a dyslexic vampire trying to recover your sanity or a hypnotized imp trying to recover humanity, then maybe not. Maybe clinging to ruthlessness is all that can be done.

Because time in Munsonville never really works the way it should.

Sheriff Matt and his deputy Marsha are reunited after more than a decade of mystical calendar misunderstanding. It will take all they have to maintain order.

What of the book on the Sheriff’ Matt’s desk? Although the novel was rewritten at some time in the future, the story will happen in the next two months.

What of the new girl – ten-year-old Beth – and her shoplifting ways?

And what will it take for an alcoholic to quit drinking, a compulsive gambler to quit betting, a vampire to quit biting, a farm to reemerge, a leprechaun to stay married, and an ancient order to reestablish?

This is the story of a ruthless recovery.
