Cover Design Interior Page Design		Fierce & Unequal Combat by K. Gordon Green When aptly named Toronto urologist Dr. Henry Spiggott embarks on a quixotic quest—to hunt down that most elusive and fabled denizen of Canada’s north, the mythical creature known as a moose—the result is a Shakespearean romp through forest and swamp. Fans of Green’s previous offbeat humour (The Raven & I) will not be disappointed here: Spiggott and his band of quirky companions negotiate their unfamiliar environment with a mixture of dignity and ineptitude that transforms this epic tale into a classical comedy of errors.

Cover Design Interior Page Design		Calling by Joe Samuel Starnes Evoking images of a fire-and-brimstone preacher ranting and raving his own personal message of salvation and a deep-voiced deejay spinning country music and reading the local news of fish fries, car wrecks and church bake sales, Calling digs beneath the surface of the Southern Baptist Church, commercial radio and small-town manhood. Seated next to each other by happenstance on a bus headed out of Las Vegas, fallen Southern Baptist preacher and radio evangelist from Georgia, Ezekiel Blizzard Jr., and a down-and-out country music deejay from Louisiana, Timber Goodman, wouldn’t appear to be compatible. Yet as their ride through the desert progresses and their hardscrabble stories of childhood, drinking, drug-use, gambling, radio, religion, sex and violence in what Flannery O’Connor called the “Christ-haunted South” unfold, they discover they are on a mutual quest for redemption. Just as the Greyhound bus winds through the desert, this captivating tale takes readers on a journey into the deepest recesses of the human soul.
