Lost Cantos of the Ouroboros Caves is Now Available! - December 2012
Lost Cantos of the Ouroboros Caves by Maggie Schein is now available!
From the back cover:
A collection of fables in the literary tradition of Italo Calvino (if he were a Taoist seeker), Lost Cantos of the Ouroboros Caves brings together medicine men, monks, immortals, witches, seekers, souls in various stages of their cycles in and out of lived-life, and the occasional talking animal, all searching for the meaning of it all and each other.
Here, the well, the prairie, the mountains (the Ouroboros mountains, of course), the pond over which a swan swims continuously as she keeps vigil for the newly dead, each fable is a meditation on love, death, growth, pain, identity, self, spirit, and the natural world, as seen from the perspectives of the primal, the celestial, or the spiritual.
In one, a handbook for immortals who must learn to die again--
In another, a seeker learns that in order to pass on what she has learned in one life to the next, she must let it drop from her soul as gems and hope that who she becomes next finds them--
In another, a young woman learns of love through a monk who tells her how the earth’s path between the sun and the moon is what enables each to express its love for the other--though it also means that they can never touch--
Fragile and beautifully strong, the Lost Cantos are tales and mythology for anyone seeking stories for a larger life.

Brass Jack: Little Lost Princeling is Now Available! - December 2012
Brass Jack: Little Lost Princeling, Book One of the Brass Jack Cycle by Robert Seutter is now available!
From the back cover:
The Hero of the Rift is dead.
And he’d like to stay that way.
Brass Jack Solomon, retired spy and provocateur, has worked hard to be forgotten, since the alternative is to be very dead and remembered everywhere. But when a young Imperial Psi-Lord decides he should throw a revolution in the name of true love, Jack finds himself shepherding the naïve and enthusiastic youth into hiding, before the Empire of Man can come calling and put an end to the young lord’s plans.
However, Lady Destiny and the Empire have plans of their own for Jack.
Deep in the grip of a twenty-year war with the Organi and desperate to win, the Empire has set its sights on Lem-Bob, a low-tech backwater of a world, and on the young lord Jack’s trying so hard to hide. Except no plan survives first contact with the enemy, and before he knows it, the Empire gives Jack a choice: fight for the Empire... or die.
Now Jack will have to leave his retirement and get back in the Game—even if it means leaving everyone he cares about behind.

The Incidental Tarot is Now Available! - November 2012
The Incidental Tarot - The Companion to the Cards by Holly DeFount is now available!
It is with great joy and excitement that Hunt Press announces the publication of the companion book to the Incidental Tarot, just in time for the holidays.
From the Back Cover:
In 2011, Holly DeFount gave herself an enormous challenge in response to a floundering slump in her art career: make one piece of original art every day.
Every. Day.
Choosing the Artist Trading Card format (ACEO: Artist Cards, Editions and Originals), since it seemed to be a manageable size to produce on a daily basis, she shared the process on her blog, where it quickly became clear to her readers that she was creating an inevitable, incidental, Tarot deck.
When Holly realized (with her readers's help) the evolving nature of the challenge and allowed it to move forward into an oeuvre de Tarot, she delved deep into her years of esoteric study and knowledge to distill it into a tapestry of archetypal images. Simple in composition, but rich in feeling, the cards became a perfect mirror for modern life as seen through an ancient form of divination.
But without a primer, the deck lay incomplete and Holly tackled the next challenge that presented: write a guide for those who had not lived and breathed the cards as she had in their creation.
With descriptions of both the card meanings and the artistic process behind each card, Holly writes about the world event influences on the deck, her deep knowledge of Tarot, and the profound and amazing journey of a year of artistic growth that drove the Incidental Tarot's creation and the inspirations that guided her to conquer such an amazing and profound challenge.

Alice Assassin is Now Available! - August 2012
And have a pile of good news! Alice Assassin (in both novel and photography book form) by Angela N. Hunt is now available!
From the back cover of the novel:
In a cottage in Maryland, an assassin is coming home. In a yard outside a large white house, a little girl is following a white rabbit down a hole and into a land of wonder and mirrors. And in the halls of the intelligence community, plans for a coup are being laid.
Unrelated incidents? Or events chained to each other in ways that no one can foresee?
Alice Vexin, Marine Recon sniper and spy, just thought she was coming home for good, her duty to her country coming to an end. Instead it’s time for one last trip down the rabbit hole to save a little girl and the future of a world that no one believes is Real, before events there, start something truly awful here...

From the back cover of the photography book:
January 27th, 2006, the first Rabbit Hole Day was held. A day to honor Lewis Carroll by asking what it would be like to live one day down the rabbit hole. What I found was a grown up Alice... and a sniper rifle. For six years, I took leaps down the rabbit hole and another piece of my Alice’s world revealed itself in fragments of story. Until one day, words weren’t enough.
These are the photographs that Alice and her friends inspired, brought to life by the inestimable talents of six amazing people over the course of two years and multiple locations. Because of them, short stories became a novel and a world of its own.
I kept my technique as simple as possible, letting these characters and places out into this side of the mirror, discovered in the turn of a phrase, the curve of a lens.
So here, be welcome, to Alice Assassin.

The Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter is Now Available! - July 2012
The Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter, the new memoir by Angela N. Hunt, is now available!
From the back cover:
I am the Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter.
In the so-called Real World, my father, Hugh Marvin Hyatt, was a high energy physicist, specializing in Electrostatic and Electro-overstress Events, up to and including Electromagnetic Pulse Events.
He played with lightning. For fun. And on top of all of that, he was just my Dad.
December 7th, 2002, around 10 in the evening, my father died.
For years, I resisted writing about him, tired of constantly living in his shadow. Until the day my eldest daughter turned five and she asked me about rainbows and I began to give her the exact same lecture about the property of light that my father gave me.
Yes, this is about my father. But it's also about finding your way when the pole star that always drew you home is no more.

Running with the Moon is Now Available! - November 2012
Running with the Moon: a Woman, a Dog, and 24 Weeks of Nights to the Los Angeles Marathon by Angela N. Hunt is now available!
From the back cover:
Right before her 41st birthday, Angela N. Hunt began blogging about training for her first marathon. To her shock, it got a lot of responses and comments. But none more important than one from a friend, sent in email:
I have a request.
Write a book about your training and running a marathon. Even a short book. Throw in ruminations about your mother insulting you about it, and about missing your father. Tell us about your girls, and publishing, and what it is to be a working mom with daughters in a world where women are still treated as second class citizens. Tie together running and writing and sci-fi and life in the way only you can.
Title it “Run Like A Girl: blah blah blah” with the blah blahs being whatever you feel is right. Or whatever title works best.
I would read the Hell out of that. I would hand a copy to Winter when she’s old enough and tell her she can do anything.
This is that book.
Because Angela realized it was not just Winter that needed to hear about her nights of training, a dog at her side, the moon in her sky.
It was her own daughters. It was and is anyone’s daughter who needs to hear: don’t listen to the naysayers. Don’t believe that you are constrained by the limits others try to lay on you. Put on your running shoes. Stretch out your bones. Find a companion.
And run.

Daughter of My Heart: Cela's Letters Home by L.T. Bentley is now available!
From the back cover:
To every season there is a purpose.
Every life that touches us, for a moment, for a lifetime, happens for a reason. What we take from those moments is ours to grow from and flourish, or reject and fail to thrive. No matter how much time a person spends in your life, they have something to teach you. Whether you understand the lesson or not, if you let them touch your life, they can alter you forever.
I have had that blessing come to me. Cela was my foster daughter, an indomitable soul, a survivor, and through journals and letters, I was permitted to truly meet her and know her, not just the face that the world sees. That contact changed me forever and took me on a transformative journey through the world and through her soul's evolution. This is her story and mine because she chose to bring me along for the ride.
