Of Bitter Souls


Book Description

A mysterious New Orleans Pastor named Secord chooses four flawed individuals and adorns them with powers that, to their delight or disgust, are directly related to their character flaws. A brutal cop has great strength. A prostitute can control minds. A gambler can turn back time. A drug addict can shape-shift. It begs the question, what should we do with the gifts we are given? Under the guidance of Pastor Secord, the four flawed heroes will be set loose on the vampires, ghosts, zombies and other supernatural threats that are so prevalent in New Orleans' legends. They will be a force for good...that is if they don't destroy themselves with their own powers first. Mixing New Orleans mythology and architecture with superheroes and theology, the Of Bitter Souls trade paperback collects the first six issues of the critically acclaimed series.

The Slayer


Book Description

The Slayer #1 The Slayer is a contractor (mercenary) tired of military politics, tired of watching wrongs not being corrected. He accepts a contract from a retired commanding officer from his old regiment as a favor and a respectable sum of nontaxable funds. That is the beginning of a new career. Now a seasoned contractor, a new challenge arises. This contract takes him and a small select team into the African continent in search of kidnapped children, kidnapped for sale to the highest bidder for whatever purpose they chose. Their time is limited. The kidnappers must be stopped before they reach their destination and the children are sold and dispersed throughout the world. If that happens, the mission is futile. With a small select team, the impossible is attempted. The Slayer #2 Select senior businessmen are disappearing from around the world, and their families are being approached for exorbitant ransoms by a terrorist cell to fund their onslaught of the civilized world. A contract accepted by the Slayer: at all costs, seek, extract, and destroy. The right man for the right job, the Slayer.

Special Deluxe


Book Description

Quirky and wonderfully candid, Neil Young's second book of reminiscences is as compelling as his first book. He returns with more unforgettable stories about his six decades in the music business - but this is not your average rock biography. He centres this work on one of his life's passions, cars, using the framework of all the cars he's ever owned to construct a narrative of his life and career, exploring and demonstrating how memories are attached to objects. Young also expresses regret for the environmental impact of his past cars, and now passionately advocates the use of clean energy. 'Special Deluxe' is a mix of memoir and environmental politics by one of the most gifted and influential artists of our time.
