Uncle
In the most comprehensive biographical study of John Purdue (c. 1802-1876) to date, Purdue's great-great-grandniece describes her travels to the diverse places where Purdue had lived in order to learn about the mysterious relative known in her family as Uncle. Using fresh, unpublished source materials-including Purdue's personal correspondence, business ledgers, and the family oral histories-the author examines Purdue's beginning among illiterate, immigrant, Pennsylvania mountain-hollow folks. Uncle challenges a commonly held belief that Purdue was a cold-hearted business mogul. Instead the author shows Purdue as a human being and as a generous family man with a visionary nature.

Animalheads
Animalheads by Son M. and Sam Curtis is a slam-dunk of an action thriller graphic novel! Brought to print for the first time by Dark Horse in collaboration with Tapas, the revolutionary digital comics platform. When four best friends enter adulthood with no job prospects and the insatiable pressures of family hanging over them, they get creative—the more dangerous the gig, the richer the reward. What starts off as a part-time venture scaring people quickly spirals out of control, pulling them headfirst into a waking nightmare when they unknowingly cross a violent crime syndicate. Now, their survival is on a knife’s edge as they become the newest outfit in the criminal underworld.
The Storyteller
The Storyteller is a sweet and lovely tale about Curtis and Penny Hansin who, over the years, due to the many responsibilities which they now have, as well as trying to keep up with the daunting challenges that come with family life, have forgotten the importance of not only remembering the events of the past but also passing on those ancestral stories to the next generation. That is, until ten-year-old little Samuel reminds them. And so, after being taught by his great-grandmother Abigail from the moment he could speak, Sam makes use of his strong determined will, which he inherited from her. And with the heart of an explorer and the soul of a storyteller, he is determined to prove to his parents just how important it is to keep the conversation going. So sit back and watch how the past makes its way into the present while on its way toward the future. Streaking across timelines and long-ago memories like a comet. Carrying within its tail the many colorful souls whose dreams were once realized and whose lives were lived and who, by the gift of storytelling, will never be forgotten.

Alligator Blood
Daniel Tzvetkoff was just another Brisbane teenager working for peanuts at Pizza Hut and spending much of his spare time glued to his computer. When he worked out a new method of payment processing, the online poker companies came running to him for help so they could grow their businesses. Soon he was living the American dream, raking in $3 million a week and revelling in a jet-set lifestyle of fast cars, luxury yachts and VIP nightclubs. His epic rollercoaster ride mirrored the extraordinary world of online poker, where hot-shot college students won millions from the confines of their dorms, and fortunes were won and lost. However, Tzvetkoff's move to the bright lights of Las Vegas would soon see him facing the abyss. Owing millions to the poker companies, and with the FBI hot on his trail, the boy wonder needed to pull an ace from his sleeve to keep from busting out. And when he did, it resulted in a day that sent shockwaves through the world of online poker - and saw him take the blame.
