Out Now!

ALLAKAZZAM!

Wickedly humorous Daniel Abelman is our guide on a magical mystery tour of African and Jewish culture, apartheid, the holocaust, telepathy, police corruption, rigged boxing, exploding dogs and orthodontics ... while a lovable psychic conman tries to peddle a miraculously discovered manuscript to gullible publishers with $$$ in their eyes.

The astute reader navigates a labyrinth of highways and cul-de-sacs from the African bush to Jerusalem, via Germany, solving riddle after riddle (never sure if he, too, is falling under the trickster's hypnotic spell), until he ultimately finds himself as though waking from a memorable dream.

Abelman writes with an enchanted pen. He shatters the rules of the novelist's art by creating new and more ingenious ones of his own, pulling rabbits from hats where other authors don't even have hats.

ALLAKAZZAM! is accompanied by three of Abelman's haunting short stories.

The novel and its accompanying short tales are exquisitely illustrated by artist Catherine Edmunds.

Silent Actor by J. Michael Wahlgren

Out Now!

This collection of poems by J. Michael Wahlgren invites the reader to follow an ongoing process of both discovery and reflection for the poet.

With a wry, quiet humor and compelling vision, Wahlgren’s search for grace and understanding throughout life is wrought with passion, yet his poems remain quietly elegant and straightforward as he discusses sex, heartbreak, marriage and other human experiences.

Small pleasures can be found in every poem, from Wahlgren’s stimulating language to his thoughtful revelations, the collection depicting the delicate moments of everyday life in a fresh and exquisite manner.

J. Michael Wahlgren's vivid perception, along with the insightful wit in these textured pieces, make Silent Actor a collection to come back to often. Cheryl Snell

... every moment is filled with a tremendous, almost claustrophobic, potential for meaning. John Moore-Williams
