A Native American pilot is resurrected by a cosmic guardian to battle an invader, but it would take far more than super strength and cosmic armor to defend humanity against annihilation. This is a tale of justice, existence, and fall of empire. _____________________________________________ Haunted by the death of his father during a protest on tribal land, Native American pilot Mitch masks himself behind a clownish jokester façade. But when a disastrous flight leads him to Eqyrus, a cosmic guardian, Mitch is unwillingly drafted as the Blue Champion, humanity's last line of defense against an interdimensional invasion. At the forefront of this threat is Quyto, a shape-shifting entity bent on unleashing the Zin—cosmic beings intent on eradicating humanity. To stop them, Mitch must join forces with three unlikely allies: Bobby, a mute Brazilian zookeeper turned Orange Champion; Parka, the Red Champion who insists on hiding her true identity; and Farhan, a disillusioned Jordanian royal who bears the armor of the Green Champion. As Quyto spreads chaos and manipulates nations through countless disguises, Mitch is forced to confront his deepest fears—his fractured sense of justice, an unrequited love, and the very purpose of his existence. With the enemy closing in and sinister plots unfolding at every turn, can the Champions overcome their inner demons and unite to save humanity? Or will Quyto’s dark scheme condemn Earth to annihilation?

Literary Nonfiction. Poet David Biespiel cracks open the creative process and invites readers to take a fresh look at the mysterious pathways of the imagination. "Failure is the engine of creativity," writes Biespiel, as he candidly tracks his own developent as a writer and challenges traditional assumptions about writing that can stifle creativity. The liberating message: Working past the brink of failure--being free to try and discard and try again--is what allows the creative process to playfully flourish, keeping the spirit open to unexpected discoveries. Both beginning and experienced writers--as well as artists, musicians, dancers, and anyone else on a creative path, will benefit from this elegant, surprising, and fresh perspective based on methods developed exclusively at the Attic, the unique literary studio Biespiel founded in Portland, Oregon in 1999. EVERY WRITER HAS A THOUSAND FACES will revolutionize the way readers look at their own creative process.
