Judd the popular 17-year-old jock has it all figured out. He's the star of his school, the top of the heap...but then the world starts changing around him and won't stop. Without explanation, everyone turns into purple furries...then gas-blasting puffballs...then neurotic lizards. Every time Judd falls asleep, he wakes up in a new and crazier world--a world of godlike super-teens, teenage serial killers, duck people, nudists, monsters, and more. It's like a twisted video game without rhyme or reason. The rules never stop changing, and the only thing he can depend on is his talking pinky finger with a major attitude. Together, he and Pinkerton (the finger prefers the name "Killdigit!") fight through the parade of crazy realities, seeking a way to get back to normal. But what if normal just isn't an option anymore? Don't miss this wild fantasy by the award-winning author of My Favorite Band Does Not Exist, which won the Forward National Literature Award and was named a Top Ten First Novel for Youth by Booklist. Reviews "Robert Jeschonek is the literary love child of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman. His fiction is cutting edge, original, and pulsing with dark and fantastical life." – Adrian Phoenix, critically acclaimed author of The Maker's Song series and Black Dust Mambo "Robert Jeschonek is a towering talent." – Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author "Jeschonek ́s stories are delightfully insane, a pleasure to read..." – Fabio Fernandes, Fantasy Book Critic

Does your life seem to be without hope and direction? Does your butter land with the butter side down? Then you need the comprehensive and compassionate advice of Uncle TM. Often times it is assumed that the common man is consumed with all the major problems of the world but in reality the problems that we have are fairly common and when they are examined, quite humorous. Likewise, it seems that we can make a problem out of just about anything. Consequently, the solution should be equal to the magnitude of the problem. Since Uncle TM believes that it is far better to give than to receive coupled with the fact that he rarely accepts the advice that he receives, Uncle TM views this work as his gift to the common man. Uncle TM's Advice to the Forlorn and Desperate is a compilation of spoof advice columns and blogs TM Sharp has authored. While you may think you recognize some of the individuals portrayed, no actual person living or assumed dead is the subject of this book.

In the mid-nineteenth century the indigenous Potter Valley Pomo resided in large sedentary villages in Potter Valley, California, and travelled seasonally throughout an extensive territory in what are now Mendocino and Lake Counties. Beginning in 1890 what would become nearly a half century of ethnographic research among members of this community, homeopathic doctor and amateur anthropologist John W. Hudson witnessed the aftermath of their dislocation and dispersal from the valley following the arrival of non-indigenous settlers. Although never published, his fieldnotes contained an unparalleled dataset on plant use by a single local indigenous community in California. In this richly illustrated monograph the author presents and interprets this historical ethnobotanical information in order to provide new insights into Potter Valley Pomo society and its relationship to the Northern California landscape.
