LOVE AND Romance: Deal Me In is the perfect gift book for Valentine's Day and other special occasions. Popular, Austin, Texas poet Alyce Guynn and legendary lead guitarist, turned illustrator, Jesse Taylor are partners in this collection of poetic love stories. The full deck of fifty-two poems are powerful, joyous, evocative, funny, mystical, sensuous (and occasionally bawdy). These poems are robust celebrations of LOVE in all its forms. "Deal Me In is full of risky, funny, heartbreaking laments that are never sentimental, always honest, and devoid of self-pity. Alyce Guynn writes, 'I am unwilling to walk out before the final act.' Like a card player with a hard-earned reputation, she plays each hand for what it's worth. These are not poems about winning or losing. They are about 'conveying us closer to the self we are seeking.'" Hayan Charara, author of The Alchemist's Diary and The Sadness of Others. "With words that are as steeped in wisdom as they are wonderfully strung together, Alyce Guynn makes her mark in Texas' literati. Call them naïve or folk art, Jesse Taylor's illustrations give Guynn's Deal Me In a memorable, hard black edge." Margaret Moser, Austin Chronicle. "Earthy, electrically visceral and unfailingly honest, Alyce Guynn's sharp observations hit you like a song you didn't know you needed to hear until the moment it starts playing on the radio." Patrick Beach, Austin American Statesman, author of A Good Forest for Dying "This books rocks like a 45rpm on a sixties jukebox and whispers love songs in the same breath. Alyce Guynn, a Texas girl who became a writer and never forgot how awesome 'Party Doll' by Buddy Knox was. I love her and you will too. Jesse Taylor virtually re-invents the meaning of music and harmony every time he places his fingers on the strings. The past few years have seen him turn his attention to drawing, drawing which is as colourful, dynamic and shape shifting as his music. These illustrations are the perfect complement to Alyce's poetry." Terry Clarke, writer/musician, recordings include Call Up A Hurricane, Lucky, Sound of the Moon, Green Voodoo, and Rhythm Oil.

This book is a history of multiple generations of a Texas family who demonstrate endurance, strength, and faith in God as they experience life's challenges and celebrations. There is particular emphasis on life in West Texas during the latter 19th and early 20th centuries, and the experience of German women settlers in Central Texas during that same time period. The author is the touchstone of seven generations. She has known one of her great-grandmothers and has herself seven great-grandchildren. Her life is a testament to the fact that no matter how difficult the situation, the outcome is always positive when "His Angels Are In Charge."

Catching the Dream is a comprehensive evaluation of every aspect of children's dreaming with an in-depth analysis of each. It explains why dreaming is important to children's physical and emotional well-being, is thoroughly researched and uses actual dreams to illustrate each topic. The information in this book teaches parents how to determine what kind of dream the child has experienced, what the dream possibly means, what could have caused the dream, and how to integrate the dream into the child's daily life. It also teaches parents what can affect children's dream contents, how children can have happy dreams, when dreams have a needed message about children's well-being (physical or emotional), and how dreams can reveal children's imaginal skills, ego development, and psychosocial stage. There are chapters on nightmares and night terrors: what causes them, what they mean, what to do if the child is experiencing them, and how to work with them. The book includes a chapter on sleep: what it is, why it is important to dreaming, sleep disorders, and how to have a good night's sleep. Although the title indicates that this work is oriented towards children's dreams, there is a great deal of information within it that applies to adult dreaming as well. Author Janet S. Gould holds a B.S. in Behavioral Science from Our Lady of Holy Cross College and an M.A. in Transpersonal Studies from Atlantic University with extensive training in dreamwork. For over a decade, she has taught classes on working with dreams and has led numerous dream support groups. She spends her time writing and conducting private dream counseling sessions. She is a member of the Association for the Study of Dreams, the Association for Research and Enlightenment, and the National Sleep Foundation.

Little Boy is the first book in the series Saga of a Comanche Warrior. In this series, Max Oliver has accomplished what few authors can, and that is the ability to immerse the reader within a culture that is completely foreign and allow the reader to feel at home. This series tells the story of a young Comanche who, being the smaller and weaker twin at birth, is able to use both his physical and mental acumen to achieve greatness. His adventures take him throughout 1800's Comancheria and into the Apache and Mexican lands as well. His few encounters with Europeans are rarely pleasant for either party. Oliver demonstrates that living off the land is both dangerous and exciting and takes great wisdom to be successful. Max Oliver was raised in Comanche Country. His grandmother was of the Comanche Tribe. He grew up in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, reading and learning from the Native Americans living in those areas. Max says that there is always an inner part of him that loves the ways of the People. He is an avid reader of any work about the Native Americans. His writing is influenced by many conversations with, books about, and first-hand accounts of the ways of living and warring among those who lived on the land before they were forced onto reservations by the European newcomers.
