Good books don’t get fed to the LYONS — or do they? This is the question Little Book asks after he is abandoned on the donation cart in a bookstore by his author, Page Tuner.

Thrust into this strange new world where all the characters within come to life at the close of business each day, danger lurks in every aisle when Little Book finds himself without a shelf space to call his own. With Space-Arranges (the space-keepers of the bookstore) on patrol, and just twelve hours until the bookstore reopens, he’ll have to work fast to prove he can rival the best the bookstore has to offer or risk being fed to the Lyons (an industrial-sized paper shredder). Can this kid from the wrong side of the stacks persevere?

Shortlisted for Outdoor Book of the Year by The Great Outdoors magazine.

Born wanderer Keith Foskett had thousands of miles of thru-hiking experience when he set out on his toughest challenge yet: a mammoth 2,640-mile trek from Mexico to Canada. Over six relentless months on America’s Pacific Crest Trail, he faced the arid heat of California’s deserts, the volcanic peaks of Oregon, and the remote wilderness of Washington’s forests.

As phobias of bears, snakes, and wild camping crept in, and the worst winter in years bore down, could Foskett push through the fear to rediscover his freedom and complete a journey that would change his life forever?

It’s a dirty galaxy and someone has to clean it.
Avoiding the wealthy inhabitants on the upper levels of Station Kelly Kornienko is bot-programmer Triana’s number one rule. Well, number two, right after “eat all the chocolate.”

But when one of her cleaning bots finds a dead body, all the rules go out the airlock. A highly connected security agent interrupts her routine with stories of missing bodies, and Triana can’t ignore him; it’s cooperate or find a new job. A girl has to pay the rent, even on a crappy studio compartment.

Working with a shiny detective beats a shuttle dirt-side, so Triana lends her programming skills to Agent O’Neill’s investigation. Together, they find more victims and evidence of a major cover-up.

It will take all Triana’s technical talents, most of O’Neill’s connections, and some really excellent croissants to stop the murders, save her job, and ultimately, her life.
