Here's a free preview--the first 53 pages of my original e-novel .tabs { display: none; } dispatch seven, "Tarn-Pit" by Drew Kalbach, is a fiction of patricide and romance. Here is the first paragraph: Jean put her bra back on. The clock radio announced, “Twenty minutes of classic rock coming up next after these messages and a word from our sponsors. Have you ever felt alone, like nobody is there?” Jean took her toothbrush from the medicine cabinet and scrubbed her teeth. Outside a police siren blared dull, sharp, then dull again, and Jean spit foamy paste into the sink. She grinned large and looked at her teeth up close. She licked across the surface.

The Xeric grant winning book "Jazz: Cool Birth" is a murder mystery in a 1957 jazz bar, with art and type inspired by '50s album cover design. The result is like nothing you've ever seen in a comic book before, a rich melange of bebop for your glims, a righteous groove without notes, dig? Put on some Monk, Miles or Coltrane and enjoy. Full page graphics and integrated '50s style type from Beatty. "This is a major cool comic title...which absolutely captures the flavor of jazz clubs in the late '50s. It's unlike any other comic out there. A fantastic blend of art and text...It really puts the graphic in graphic novel. The most different comic twist I've read this year." -- Paul Bishop, Bish's Beat 2. The vampire "hero" of "Seductions" is caught in a maddening cycle. He wakes 10 years after each feeding. The world changes around him and only two things remain: his desire to feed and a yearning for a long lost love. Not your mother's romance story! The book features impressive pencils by "Oz," "Dark Oz" and "Land of Oz" illustrator Bill Bryan and computer-over-pencils coloring by Beatty. "Shot from artist Bill Bryan's compelling pencils and enhanced by Beatty's colors, Seductions draws the reader into the vampire's hunt for 'life' and love. One feels his pain even as one loathes his manipulative manner. Complete unto itself, this comic book is another satisfying done-in-one presentation. Seductions earns four Tonys." -- Tony's Tips! by Tony Isabella, Comic Buyers Guide #1644 3. In "Adam Among the Gods," the lead character is an ugly, deformed creature surrounded by a race of beautiful, immortal humans. Adam was an early mistake by geneticists before they perfected the process that lead to a perfect world. Then things fall apart. Clean, streamlined art and inking from "Saint Germaine" artist James Lyle in a comic-within-a-comic format from Beatty. "From the get-go, Beatty gives us characters with whom we can sympathize...He also provides an engaging story at a crisp, but not rushed pace, with a satisfying conclusion...all in one issue...Adam Among The Gods is worth seeking out." -- Mark Allen, Suspended Animation, 4 Color Commentary.com http://www.aazurn.com 14p preview of Rebirth by Corbin Dailey Maria, a young woman who so far has lived a simple life, is about to have her whole world turned around.
