![]() Whether the art is writing, drawing and painting, or defining environments for theatre productions as a technical and artistic director, Jason lives for the ability to create. In this quest to find his father, Cavan will break those silences and more.Īuthor/Illustrator Jason Robert LeClair spends most hours of each day making art. Cavan must now fight the world that wishes to keep his Father's journal silent. Anstruther’s lost journal made Darwin’s Origin of the Species seem like Genesis chapter one. This controversial scientific find contained in Dr. Anstruther, Cavan’s father and a preeminent doctor of fairy science, discovered a truth the world left buried. ![]() For Cavan Anstruther, learning why his father disappeared ten years ago in 1908 after inadvertently beginning the Great War was an opportunity he’d rather have missed. In LeClair's Broken Silences, it is a rare opportunity for a young man turning eighteen to learn first hand the reasons behind his father’s mistakes. ![]() The month-long art exhibit featured several pieces of artwork created by LeClair as well as several prominent New England artists within the steampunk genre. Following the reading, LeClair will be signing books for attendees on Friday July 27 from 6 to 9 pm at Stage Right Studio.

![]() It’s a story that resonated with many people, one of them being Kristen Finlay, who is now bringing The Penelopiad to Walterdale Theatre. The original story of The Odyssey is shifted, re-imagined and amplified to focus on the realities of class, gender and power. It’s a story that focuses on the life and times of Penelope, the wife of Odysseus. This is what Margaret Atwood did with her novella and the adapted play, The Penelopiad. Those same notes are going to ring out, except louder and maybe a bit differently. It’s like if you took an old gong, something that’s been ringing loud and true for centuries, and hooked it up to a stack of high-decibel speakers. ![]() ![]() ![]() If something resonated with people thousands of years ago, what are the odds you could expand on it, tweak it a bit, and shift perspectives to bring out a fresh, compelling narrative? I’d say the chances are solid - it’s something I love to see writers do. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In A Snake Falls to Earth, she draws on traditional Lipan Apache storytelling structure to weave another unforgettable tale of monsters, magic, and family.It is not to be missed.", But a catastrophic event on Earth, and a strange sickness that befalls Oli's best friend, will drive their worlds together in ways they haven't been in centuries.And some will kill to keep them apart.Darcie Little Badger introduced herself to the world with Elatsoe.

Fingers crossed a prequel focusing on Saint will come out someday in the future. While I would love to live in this world forever, I feel very happy with how things were left off. With regards to the ending, it was very fulfilling and satisfying. The character development in this book is AMAZING (the morally grey characters in the story are some of my favorites). I loved how the crew of the Marigold is able to find a family in each other. I think Fable is one of my favorite young adult heroines of all time. ![]() Additionally, she is being used as a pawn in a rival's scheme for power. After the cliffhanger ending of Fable, our protagonist finds herself once again, separated from the ones she loves. Namesake’s story pulled at my heartstrings and is a tale focused on family, friendship, love, acceptance, and hope. Namesake is the second book to Adrienne Young's Fable series a YA-Seafaring Fantasy story. For fans of Saint, don’t despair, Saint still makes an appearance in this book (yay!). While the first book focuses on Fable’s relationship with her father, Namesake focuses on Fable’s relationship with her mother. The narrator, Emma Lysy did a fantastic job bringing the different characters to life in the audiobook version. Adrienne Young’s sequel to smash hit Fable picks up right where the last book left off, with Fable in a bit of a pickle and in need of rescuing as she is taken captive on the Luna. Namesake is one of my most anticipated reads this year, and it didn’t disappoint. Swashbuckling adventure with romance and family ![]() ![]() ![]() Now look at it!

So I started with a close-up on the sign and juxtaposed the ominous narration of the pirate comic with the news vendor saying, “We oughta nuke Russia and let God sort it out.” Something spooky was happening in the way these elements sparked off each other. More than 30 years after it was first published, Moore and Gibbons' masterpiece continues to inspire and entertain readers around the world. Exceptional graphic artwork brings to life the story of the Watchmen as they race against time to find a. I remember looking at the black shapes of the radiation symbol on the sign and thinking you could construe a black ship. But the opening sequence of issue 3 is where Watchmenreally clicked. We were contracted for 12! The solution was to alternate issues of plot with “origin story” issues about the characters….

Beautifully illustrated with charcoal drawings by Nebraska artist Aaron Franco, this 240-page hardcover book includes 15 selected works by noted Nebraska naturalist and philosopher Loren C. ![]() ![]() The plot features an unlikely cast of characters, including a marine biologist, a grocer, a restaurateur, and a group of local vagabonds. The plot takes place on a grungy street with "the gathered and scattered, tin and iron and rust and splintered wood, chipped pavement and weedy lots, junk heaps, sardine canneries of corrugated iron, honky tonks, restaurants and whore houses, and little crowded groceries, and laboratories and flophouses." The actual street in Monterey has since been renamed "Cannery Row" in honor of this iconic novel. Cannery Row is a Depression-era novel set in Monterey, California. ![]() An excellent copy with only some minor fading to spine, else fine. ![]() ![]() ![]() New York: The Viking Press, 1945 First edition, advance issue in the publisher's blue wrappers. ![]() |
