It's been a long hot season filled with many ups and downs. Everyone has worked so hard to get to this point-the final game. But ugh. It's 90 degrees, no shade and no breeze. It's going to be a miserable day...or is it?

This full-color graphic novel asks the question: When does revolution become revenge?

Reeling from the collateral brutality of imperialism, Prince Dakkar, an enlightened intellectual Indian revolutionary leader, is driven from insurgency to a lifetime of uncompromising vengeance as Captain Nemo.

A familiar story, the undersea expression of Captain Nemo's vengeance has been told many times and spawned new, sometimes fanciful, chapters of what comes after Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea.

But . . .
Getting at how and why Prince Dakkar became Captain Nemo requires descending into a dark psychodrama that unfolds across the turbulent landscape of Southern Asia, caught in the rampant colonial expansion of the Victorian Age.

Enter the world of Rage Runs Deep, a timeless allegory about the undesirable but all too predictable consequences of imperialism, which fuels the dark seduction of vengeance justified as revolution.

The Dumpster Doll Series continues with Adolescence--a story of a teenage foster kid's struggle and triumph, her pitfalls and resilience.

Michelle and her brothers are fresh out of foster care when they're reunited with their father in southern Ohio. Michelle has dreams of mending fractures in her family and moving past the trauma of the previous twelve years. But leaving the stability and guidance of a loving foster family, she discovers her single father is plagued with PTSD and not equipped to handle raising her and her brothers.

As Michelle begins to navigate adolescence without guidance, regular teenage problems compound into more serious roadblocks, and she ends up back in the foster care system. Just as she gets on her feet, determined to break the cycle, she ages out of the foster care system, and discovers it's once again up to her to secure her future.

Each challenge threatens to dim that future, but a spirit of resilience and a gritty perseverance keep her going-through poverty, assaults, homelessness, complicated family dynamics, juvenile detention, and the hardest decision she'll make in her life.

"Expertly co-written by Michelle Moone, you'll be effortlessly drawn into May's world. Can't wait for #3!" - 5-Star Amazon Reviewer

The Morning Glory Airport has been in the works for a number of years. One fine summer day, Nancy Corbett became entranced with a huge outcropping of morning glories, blossoming in a number of hues while they draped themselves over six sections of chain link fence.

She invited her friends to her backyard-and with this book, that includes YOU-to observe the birds that flew into the foliage. It was almost as if they were busy travelers entering an "airport" of colorful flowers, each with a variety of intentions, but mainly to move on to the numerous bird feeders in the enclosure.

Enjoy the poems that resulted from her observations.

As to the Other Flights of Fancy, the retired English teacher wanted to include other works for your entertainment and amusement...because not all of her writings are "for the birds."

"This is a delightful book and I enjoyed every page if it. I felt like I was in that garden, experiencing what the author was writing about!" -5-Star Amazon Review
