Crossing A Threshold
by Ian Garrioch
Image making itself, can become a tool for learning similar to the reading of a book. The acquisition of the basic skills required for the paint/draw process are outlined as they aid the artist/reader in building awareness. Image search and process unite to philosophically change one’s point of view about life. In Crossing A Threshold, artist Ian Garrioch unpacks visual language, this other mode of knowing. Through a gathering of his paintings and text, he charts a journey through the visual alphabet, including colour, shape, and value. Decades of thought about life, art, history, the environment and political trends solidify into points of view—all this and more is explored through over seventy images of the artist’s work accompanying the text. Crossing A Threshold will be of interest to anyone that is curious about journeys in general. It is a personal journey with pictures about the trip. A travelogue. Young artists may find that it helps them solidify their journey no matter which path they eventually choose. For those that just like art, it is another point of view in that genre. Art is not just an object, but rather it is a highway searched for new places to see and know.

They Don't Make Studebakers Anymore
A Fictional Memoir by David Becker
I was born on the hood of a Studebaker . . . So begins the story of Boy, coming of age in a small town in the 1960s. From trying to understand the Cold War, to first kisses, and the moon landing, Boy struggles to make sense of his world. The unexpected disappearance of his father raises a multitude of questions: Was he really born in outer space? What exactly does one do when The Bomb lands in your backyard? And what precisely is supposed to happen on the front porch after your first slow dance with a girl? With his exceptional memory and keen observation skills, he chronicles the indignities of summer camp, drama club, driving lessons, and the prom—often with hilarious results—all while trying to assert some independence, and supporting his mother through her struggles to keep the family going. But as childhood makes way for adolescence and mystery gives way to mastery, Boy finds his newfound certainty turned upside down when he makes an unexpected discovery, and a forest-green car that looks an awful lot like the long-lost Studebaker turns everything on its head.

Once Upon a Tree, There was a Change
by Marcia M. Holm
In the heart of the meadow, there are whispers of change. The animals, bees, and butterflies know it. But the leaves in the birch tree aren’t quite sure yet what’s happening. As they turn from vibrant green to golden yellow, the wind calls them to let go and discover a world beyond their branches. Most of the leaves joyfully embrace the journey, floating high above hills, streams, and animals before settling under a blanket of winter snow. But one little leaf, afraid of the unknown, clings tightly to its twig, growing colder and lonelier with each passing day. Winter turns to spring, and the little leaf must make a choice: continue to hold on . . . or let go and embrace a new adventure. Lyrical, poignant, and beautifully illustrated, Once Upon a Tree, There Was a Change is a tender tale of courage, new beginnings, and the wonder of nature’s cycles.

Unknown Secrets
by K.J. Herridge
In the dark trunk of a moving car, Sam awakes. She doesn’t know how she got there, where she’s being taken, or who she even is. The only thing she knows is she has to get away. With a superhuman strength that surprises her, she overpowers her captors and escapes into the nearby woods, taking refuge in a lean-to under cover of night. When morning dawns, she finds she’s no longer alone—a rancher has discovered her, and she’s trespassing on his property. With nowhere else to turn, she follows him back to his farmhouse, where she’s welcomed by his right-hand man, Mack, and his housekeeper, Miss Claire. As Staz and his crew work to help Sam uncover her identity, she begins to understand that she wields powers no human being, let alone a teenage girl, should have. Then they uncover links to GNT, a shady, billion-dollar bioengineering company. All the while, Sam grows closer to the handsome, mysterious Staz, who may be hiding secrets of his own. But the more Sam learns, the more the truth eludes her.

Peepers Peeping
Little People’s Poetry by Betty Nadine Thomas
Peepers Peeping has been an absolute labor of love and bringing all these little creatures to life has been an amazing experience. Written for a time when life in our world is filled with negativity and difficulty. It is an attempt at bringing some moments of joy into our lives that is desperately needed. Even though it is written for children, Adults should find it uplifting also. It is my hope that those who read Peepers Peeping find time to smile, re-experience some happy childhood memories or create new joyful moments. Maybe Peepers Peeping will inspire you to create your own little creatures and write stories about them to share with others. Many of us forget how to play, to dance, and to enjoy the simple pleasures that surround us every day. Life can be magical if you discover or re-discover those beautiful joyful moment that are in your lives. Sometimes all you have to do is open your hearts.
