    Only the stronghold of BlackAcre remains. Conceived by the robber-barons of the 21st century, this opulent city-state is the last bastion of stability in a world ablaze with chaos and strife. Hull, an elite warrior from the city's neo-Spartan military class, has devoted his life to defending the borders of his homeland. And now that one of his comrades has gone missing during a clandestine mission into hostile territory, Hull himself must venture out beyond the wall... into the brutal and lawless frontier known as the Hinterlands. But when the mission goes violently off the rails, Hull is left with more questions than answers: What went wrong? Who is really in charge? And is there anyone - anywhere - he can trust? -The key to creating a great story about the future isn't in making it seem possible, but probable.

    Dear Julia, is the story of how he got there. Boyd's vivid memory of the past and shaky comprehension of the present give clues to the events that lead him to the edge: his childhood, his parents, and a particular trip to Tucson, Arizona where everything began to go terribly awry. Brian Biggs tells the tale with deft wit and a sharp eye, leaving crumbs both verbal and visual along the reader's path to the climactic end. Also available is the Dear Julia, short film directed by Alistair Banks Griffin.

    The story was rescued from an old floppy disc and first published in 2008, in a special, 10th anniversary edition of Crossroad Blues. To Atkins' surprise, that edition earned an Edgar Award nomination for the forgotten Nick Travers tale. The story shows Nick at his best: in New Orleans, at JoJo's Blues Bar, helping an old friend, challenging the powerful, and getting in way over his head.

    Daredevil and those closest to him are forced to face the bitter sting of heartbreak in all its forms as new relationships blossom, old loves fade away, and tragedy takes its toll amid a globe-spanning super-hero epic stretching from the swamps of New Jersey to the shores of Venice.

    I never miss a meal."-Dan Piraro, cartoonist of Bizarro We've all been forced to endure jobs we don't like. We get up, go to work, go to bed, and do it again. No one knows these pains better than Doug Savage, whose dream of being a cartoonist was eclipsed by his ho- hum office job. That is, until he started doodling chicken cartoons on Post-its and turned them into one of the Internet's most popular cartoon blogs. "Savage Chickens" is a collection of cartoons starring Doug's beloved chickens and their officemates that will get a laugh out of even the most jaded number-crunching colleague. Doug blends cynicism, optimism, and interactive activities to create a portable pep talk for the overworked and underappreciated that will keep you sane-and amused- during the morning bus ride, the meeting-filled Monday, the tenth load of laundry, the bathroom break, or the red-eye to the coast.Watch a Video
