Along a coastline, nestled between two protective mountains, there lies a simple, yet extraordinary town whose residents believe that wishes can come true-provided the wish isn't too big to fit into such a small place.
A weary widower is to the key to the town's strange magic, and he is left alone to do his mysterious, yet crucial work of holding the town together.
When Alexandria inherits a bookstore in The Town Where All Things Are Possible, she must decide whether she will simply accept the oddities of her new home, or if she will look deeper into the town's ancient intrigue and the one person who might have the answers to what is actually possible.

About the Author
Martin and Weinke debuted with 2008's "the dominant hand," which The Tulsa World predicted to be the "cult classic of our generation."
Despite rumors that the team were splitting up after only one book, the pair have committed to three books in three years starting with 2010's "Edward and the Island."
The dark comedy set in heaven follows the struggles of a group of children trying to adapt to an Island created as an experiment for a new universe.
When I asked Charles Martin what his goals as a writer were, he simply replied "To help define an entire age of literature." I informed him that, with the modern world's growing literacy rates, the chances of doing that were, quite possibly, a billion to one. He gave me that infuriating grin of his and replied, "I like those odds."
As a person, Charles is likeable in small doses, funny in his own way, and surprisingly reliable. As a writer, he is flawed, but ambitious. I do my best to smooth out his rough patches, ground his more eccentric ideas, bring practicality where there is only conceptual fog, and remind him that he is no longer writing for his own gratification, but for the readers willing to consume our increasingly odd projects.
And I feel justified in allowing for a touch of pride in the results.
It is my humble opinion that our novels are worth your attention and what follows is an earnest attempt to match you with the ideal starting point for our work.
When we lost a close friend to a senseless accident, "the dominant hand" (2008) arose organically from our collective grief. If you like the stained beauty of college town rock clubs, and are fascinated by end-of-the-world cults, this book should enter your collection.
"Edward and the Island" (2010) was a concerted effort to get at the root of both our own failed relationships with Christianity. If you dig the mythic fantasy of C.S. Lewis, but can also stomach the image of God as a cold and detached jerk, by all means secure your copy today.
"Deviants" (2012) was a concerted effort to get at the roots of others successful/unsuccessful attempts at non-monogamy. If sex comedies about complex and, at times, twisted relationship dynamics are your thing, then who am I to judge?
"Pets" (2013?) emerged when Charles decided he was suddenly interested in making money. We intended to write a novel in the spirit of a Syfy Channel movie of the week, but instead we stumbled into a high-minded apocalypse book-again. Does still have loads of exotic and entertaining deaths at the hands of various members of the animal kingdom.
The Wonderboy Serials (2011-12) grew out of our love of dime novels as well as a curiosity of the potential of the eBook market. It's a dark superhero story that is actually a series of character sketches, none of which are the actual superhero. If you like reading a novel in 60 page increments and don't fin...

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
