Reviews & Acclaim for MOTHER CHRISTMAS: Volume 1 The Muse

Mother Christmas, by writer Valya Dudycz Lupescu and artist Vic Terra, reimagines the story of St. Nicholas, putting it into the context of his times and introducing the conflict between the pagan religions of the land and the Christians who arrived with conquest, of land as well as souls, on their minds. The lead character is a muse named Amara who is assigned to guide a woman named Flavia, the sister of Nicholas. The story has a complex mythology that is beautifully laid out in panels filled with telling details and bright colors. Although this is just the first volume, this slim, 104-page graphic novel packs in a lot of story. The book will be released on November 1. ~Brigid Alverson, “Gift Guide: Small Press Graphic Novels,” ICv2

Reviews & Acclaim for GEEK PARENTING: 

Finds deep and unexpected truths in sources ranging from Game of Thrones to The Chronicles of Narnia. The authors argue, for example, that pseudo-parent Jiminy Cricket failed Pinocchio by not telling him why it was important to be good. And if Obi-Wan had been a better listener, maybe young Anakin wouldn’t have turned out so evil. ~Keith Blanchard, “Must Read Books for Geek,” THE WALL STREET JOURNAL 

Loaded with parenting tips from across the galaxies, Geek Parenting provides solid parenting lessons using pop culture touchstones like Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, Star Trek, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, X-Men, Wonder Woman, Thor, Loki, and Odin, and so many more. There are amazing comics, TV, and movie references in here, all with the same thing in common: the advice is solid and heartfelt. ~Rosemary K, “Celebrate Geek Parenting!”ON WEDNESDAYS WE WEAR CAPES
