All I See Is Red
Preorder
Dutch Kanin sees photos before they happen, making him a renowned photographer in the news business. Some say Dutch is psychic. Some say he’s lucky. But Dutch has a simpler explanation for his ability to be in the right place at the right time. People are predictable. And he thrives on that predictability. He hunts it. He even provokes it. And then he nearly gets someone killed for it.
After that the awards, accolades, and prestige become too much, and seeking redemption, Dutch retires to a small-town newspaper...only to stumble upon the biggest story of his career: Philip Thorn.
Philip is every reason Dutch abandoned mainstream media. He’s twelve feet tall, on the lam, has a connection with a mysterious piece of town history, and is the culprit behind a string of robberies that has the town on fire with speculation. In other words, Philip Thorn is big news. And nobody knows he exists but Dutch. Now Dutch must choose. Return to his old ways and expose Philip or keep the discovery a secret and help the giant make his great escape from the town that’s hunting him. Both, however, may end in calamity.
And at the center of it all is the elusive Iris Redgrave, whose obscurity overshadows even the giant’s and whose secrets lure Dutch into a startling turn.
Complete with a classic love story and a set of ego-driven antagonists, All I See Is Red is a thrilling encounter with the world of developing news stories and the perils that exist when people try to run from their pasts.

All the Ordinary Pictures and Other Stories
Available Now
Have you ever seen what happens to a house plant left out in the wintery cold? It suffers what I can only imagine is an agonizing, belittling death. First the leaves slacken then wither while all the stems shrivel. Then the plant browns, sags completely, before turning utterly black like a plague corpse. That’s what I felt like when I understood my father shot the photo of the girl on the cover of Gentlemen Club, shot all the photos of all the girls in those magazines sitting above my head all those years. I didn’t even have to look at the rest to know that much. The years, angles, and numbers added up. My father was a pornographer.
In this blending of light and dark genres, Scott Rhuin assembles a breakout collection of fiction that courses through the lives of subtle yet indelible characters meeting extraordinary circumstances, like teenager Sam Lewiston who, in the title story "All the Ordinary Pictures," mistakenly discovers her father's true profession is that of an erotic photographer and not the local photojournalist she always admired. The discovery sends Sam into a tailspin of distrust and heartache that lasts a decade before she meets a color-blind artist who shows her just how bright trust can be.
With striking plots and daring imagination, All the Ordinary Pictures and Other Stories brings readers into the tangled hearts and tested relationships of broken people trying for new beginnings...and sometimes failing. They are stories of ordinary people navigating the extraordinary.
