Haunting yet full of humor and self-effacing wisdom, Notes After Midnight is a story of the invisible binding thread connecting each of us to one another—the thread that helps us find our way along even the most difficult of paths.
Red Shoes Living offers a higher standard by which you can live, work and thrive. In a world that is increasingly noisy and negative, the Red Shoes philosophy has become a symbol for making a positive impact. Lonnie Mayne shares his expertise on standing out in the way you live, the way you interact with people and the way you can make a difference - whether in business or your personal life. Red Shoes Living is a way of life. It creates meaning and suggests that simply by acknowledging another person's humanity and listening to his or her story, you bridge the gulfs that tend to separate us. There is nothing else like it. Once you embrace Red Shoes Living, you will never turn back.
Designing the cover and interior of this life-changing book was a total pleasure, as was working with Lonnie Mayne, who truly lives what he preaches in the book.
Owen Egerton's The Book of Harold is as profound and deeply respectful a novel as it is irreverent in its wild, often hilarious take on a modern messianic movement in suburbia.
Throughout history, humans have sought creation stories to define our identity and affirm our connections with the universe, diverse life forms, and one another. Over the last two centuries, science has delivered a bold new creation story full of immense time and space, extraordinary objects, and powerful natural forces.

It was tricky working on a cover where I was explicitly told not to show any part of a woman, and still suggest sexuality and love. This simple solution was both beautiful and suggestive, and using a type that felt appropriate to match made this covers one of my favorites.

This incredibly moving memoir by Victoria Slaughter about being abducted by her father was an INCREDIBLE read and a very moving story. Four young children caught between love and hate—hostages to the cruelty of revenge. A deceitful American father and a naïve decision by a Filipino mother transformed their lives forever.
Available later this year, Have You Seen These Children uses pictures from Slaughter’s childhood, overlayed with images evoking the journey of her family.
Since its emergence in the late twentieth century, climate fiction—or cli-fi—has concerned itself as much with economic injustice and popular revolt as with rising seas and soaring temperatures. Indeed, with its insistent focus on redressing social disparities, cli-fi might reasonably be classified as a form of protest literature. As environmental crises escalate and inequality intensifies, literary writers and scholars alike have increasingly scrutinized the dual exploitations of the earth’s ecosystems and the socioeconomically disadvantaged. Available from the University of Virginia Press.
