What the Lizard Said is the first in a series of illustrated poetry books that chronicle the adventures of Wise Dog and his younger friend, Jimmi, two dogs on a quest to learn important lessons about the world we live in. Every poem presents a different animal with different wisdom to impart to Wise Dog and Jimmi on their journey toward a greater understanding of life's challenges and opportunities. The Wise Dog and Jimmi books are designed for children and adults to read together, to encourage them to share their thoughts and feelings about the poems' central message: the variety, unity, and sanctity of all life, and our responsibility to care for the Earth's creatures. The author began writing What the Lizard Said as a reading tutor at a learning clinic, to help children increase their reading and comprehension skills and to expand their vocabularies, all through the rhythms of poetry. New words are introduced within rhyming stanzas, and Wise Dog and Jimmi and the poetic animals they meet gently guide young readers through more complex sentences and grammar. Wise Dog and Jimmi invite you to join them on their future adventures and to meet all the new animals waiting to help them. For ages 6 and up

ANGELS AWAKE follows the Rhodes Family for a day in late August of 1984, as small farmers in the San Joaquin Valley of California face financial ruin from rain and recession, approaching perhaps their last fall harvest - after a blazing summer of foreclosures, anniversaries, presidential campaigns, conventions in San Francisco and Dallas, the Olympics in L.A. and America and the Soviet Union locked in a Cold War. Delmus and Kyla Rhodes and their daughter, Kate, and mysterious visitor Dolly Mable, face together the most fateful hours of their lives when inner and outer storms piling high for years threaten and culminate in final fear and truth during the short hours of Delmus Rhodes' annual Harvest Party.

'Other Worlds, ' by Nels Hanson and Rees Nielsen, explores alternate possible realms, inside and beyond us, whose passing gravity we sometimes sense, the weight of an alluring ghost land or paradise with the sudden pull of a missing planet.

Sleeping Child Lake follows two crucial weeks in the life of 32-year-old Bill Ryder, who since a divorce has been wandering as a day laborer in a diminishing West. When his boat nets a tropical fish off the Oregon coast, a chain of meaningful coincidences starts to unfold -- leading Ryder to western Montana and finally to nearly fathomless Sleeping Child Lake, sacred to American Indians who await a suffering redeemer who will begin the salvation of the Earth. With trepidation and hope, Ryder follows the turquoise lake's strengthening call and will meet Emma Little Bear and Charles Two Hats as he endures the end of an old life and the beginning of a new and richer one.

'Original Echo' - by Nels Hanson and illustrated by Rees Nielsen -considers "first things," those words and sounds whose echoes can still be heard, the real and legendary voices of history and nature that shaped our world and remain as living if often unremembered guides. Hanson has received numerous awards for his writing, and Nielsen's painting, poetry and fiction have been widely published in literary magazines.

The Toy and Other Stories presents 25 short and longer "takes" on reality - some true, some partly true, others wholly fictional - which describe past and present events, and possible futures that may be unwinding in new or recurring directions. Several stories investigate the "underside" of history, examining alternative explanations for accepted fact, while others explore more private worlds as characters confront uncharted and mysterious situations that disobey our normal expectations of the real. Perhaps things are not as we were told and led to believe, and our lives are far stranger and improbable than we'd like to imagine.
