Subjective Line Weight
"SubjLW is an ongoing project featuring women from all over the country sharing stories we're not often supposed to tell: fears and failures about our bodies, the shame of weight gain or weight loss, societal expectations of beauty standards, eating disorders, extreme (and expensive) lengths we go to in order to feel beautiful on the outside while neglecting the inside"--Author website, viewed June 28, 2019.

Shanghai Red #4
Red goes underground as the press gangs she's been killing off are striking back, sending her through a city beneath the city of Portland one full of gangs, drugs, crime, and secrets. As Red fights to stay alive in the dark and tightens her net around her final target, the waves sheÕs been making come crashing back on Liverpool Liz, her sister, and anyone close to her.
Shanghai Red #2
After being abducted and spending three hard years trapped at sea, Red has finally returned to the city of Portland. As she tracks down whatÕs left of her family and her old life, Red begins a bloody campaign of vengeance against the runners and crimps who put her on that boat. One body at a time.
Shanghai Red #1
Red is one of hundreds shanghaied out of Portland in the late 1800s. Drugged, kidnapped, and sold to a ship's captain, she wakes up on a boat headed out to sea for years, unable to escape or even reveal who she truly is. Now she's coming back in a boat covered in blood to find her family and track down the men responsible for stealing her life out from under her. Eisner-nominated writer CHRISTOPHER SEBELA (High Crimes, Heartthrob, We(l)come Back), JOSHUA HIXSON (The Black Woods) and HASSAN OTSMANE-ELHAOU (Felix and Macabber) bring you a tale of revenge, family, and identity that stretches from the deck of a ship outside Shanghai all the way to the bleak streets and secret tunnels of Portland, Oregon.
The How Well? Anthology
The How Well? Anthology is a compilation of illustrated short stories centered around ideas of community and mutual caretaking as antidotes to the corporately-driven, dominant notion of "Wellness" prevalent in the Western world today. Bringing together diverse perspectives from notable graphic narrative artists, and community members in the editors' home city of Pittsburgh, the book is the outcome of a three-year project finding stories which represent alternatives to the insistence of neoliberalism that human well-being is earned solely through power and privilege.
Shanghai Red #5 (Of 5)
The higher-ups in Portland, alerted to her bloody path of revenge, begin to tighten their net around Red, who's got one last name to cross off her list. As she struggles to decide who she really is and the cops come down hard on her friends she'll have to fight her way through bureaucracy, the tunnels, and her sister to get to the man who put her on that boat three years ago. Revenge is never simple, but Red and Jack are about to find out just how big and complicated it can get.
An Evil Streak
‘The sense of power made my head swim long before I tasted the champagne.’ Gemma Kyle is her uncle’s only source of delight. She is everything that he is not: beautiful and affectionate, innocent and carefree. From childhood, she has turned to him for advice. And in return he has led her astray... Gemma’s life is secure and outwardly happy. Her husband is a successful doctor. She has two children, an au pair, and no need to work. But she is bored, and when Alexander, her uncle, meets David, an out-of-work actor, he decides that Gemma must meet him too. What could be more delicious than to corrupt her? As Alexander and Gemma delve deeper into a dangerous game, things threaten to unravel completely... Disturbing and unputdownable, An Evil Streak is a masterly story of love, sex, and the lies we tell each other – and ourselves. Praise for An Evil Streak ‘I was quite unable to put it down – a marvellous tour de force.’ Margaret Drabble ‘Its readability has an uncommon hold, and the narrative brings unexpected bends, dips and heights... The book itself glows with inner balance. Buy it.’ The Times
Shanghai Red
XIXe siècle, Portland, Oregon. Red n'a jamais eu peur de travailler dur. Depuis l'enfance, elle endosse les responsabilités et l'apparence d'un homme pour subvenir aux besoins de sa famille. Mais le plus cruel restait à venir : droguée et kidnappée, elle est enrôlée de force sur un navire en partance pour Shanghai, comme tant d'autres à cette époque. Des années de servitude en mer qui se soldent par une rébellion sanglante, et le désir implacable de se venger de ceux qui l'ont arrachée à sa famille. De retour à Portland, Red n'a qu'une obsession : retrouver les siens et traquer les hommes qui l'ont vendue. Des bas-fonds de la ville et ses souterrains secrets à la corruption d...
