Publisher Description

Charlie Sweetwater returns to his hometown to visit his brother but arrives to find he is a no-show: The Coast Guard has discovered Johnny’s shrimp boat drifting abandoned in the Gulf. Is it “death by misadventure” as the authorities presume, or something more sinister? Meanwhile, Fulton Harbor, where Charlie’s family have docked their shrimp boats for generations, has changed—and not for the better. Hard-working Vietnamese fishermen are under the thumb of Col. Nguyen Ngoc Bao, a ruthless exiled gangster who aims to recreate his criminal enterprise in a New World setting. Confronting Bao and his thugs are Charlie and a mismatched group of good guys (and gals): a fast-and-loose Cajun hustler, a salty cast of “Third Coast” barroom regulars, a handful of courageous Vietnamese émigrés, a menacing ex-convict, and a misplaced Texas Ranger who discovers a slice of the Lone Star State that the cowboy movies of his boyhood never prepared him for. Along the way Charlie finds himself falling for his brother’s girlfriend, whose zealous desire to see justice served tests his own limits for loyalty and commitment. Unlikely heroes arise from improbable circumstances, and the denizens of the small seaside community find their fortunes and fates ebbing and flowing like the tidal flux of the ocean itself.

Presents the award-winning trilogy of graphic novels set in an imaginary version of the author's hometown, and reveals the problems and issues the families within the community face.

This was no longer her world against the Queen. It was the Queen’s world against her. The Queen wants to destroy the life force of earth and has just killed the last being who can stop her. Or so she thinks . . . The last powerful mage in the world, Princess Aura, is the sole witness to the Queen’s plot. And she knows how to stop it. The problem? She can’t do it alone. Aura must summon someone she hoped never to see again. Saint George—her lover who left her five years ago for another woman. And another. And another . . . Despite his chorus line of adulteries, George invokes the help of a colorful cast including Titania, Frankenstein’s Monster, William Wordsworth, and Pan. Aura and George, together with these unlikely saviors, must outsmart both the baddies and one another. Can they work together long enough to defeat the Queen and save the world? Told collectively by a troupe of digital artists, Slice of Life employs every medium possible—prose, pictures, poetry, illustrations, audio scenes, music—to provide an immersive and exciting experience.

Life! The biggest roller coaster ride one goes through. Everything, everyone that comes across during this ride must contribute something to it. May it be your daily routine, may it be your daily habit, may it be your passion, may it be your habits, may it be your pet, may it be a person, your bae, your sibling, or your someone special. They are as much precious as oxygen is. Someone might have hurt you, but in return, someone would have loved you too. If something has let you down, then there must be something that has lightened you. Just a morning walk can change your mood for the entire day; a cute fight with your sibling can even make you smile. Just a ping at the end of the day from your special one can bring a smile to your face, just a touch from your parents can heal your entire pain, just a call from your bae can resolve all your issues, just a fairytale dream is enough to make you motivated. The only thing the author has tried to convey to her valuable and lovely readers is that ‘Accept life as it is, then only you can get the best out of it. Just keep on loving it.’
