ZIGGY ZIG ZAGS THE LIGHT AND DARK FANTASTIC, VOLUME 1- Ron Baxley, Jr.
This 5-STAR REVIEW graphic novel follows the adventures of Ron's real-life Corgi companion, Ziggy, in a new hardback adventure to be available to the public on June 21, with art by Vincent Myrand, and lettering and lay-out by Ali Tavakoly. Within this graphic novel Ziggy the Corgi, who has been a steed for the elves, goes on his own quests to rescue various characters from different fantasy worlds, including Neverland and Oz among others, and does his best to evade the Dark Elf and his minions during his mission!
The following is the 5-STAR REVIEW from Readers Favorite LLC's John Magnus: "Ziggy Zig-Zags The Light and Dark Fantastic introduces a new canine hero of truly epic proportions, and Iâll never look at Corgis in quite the same way again. Baxleyâs admiration for the breed, after he adopted his rescued Pembroke Corgi, shines out on every panel of this enthralling two-story graphic novel. Vincent Myrandâs marvelous illustrations really capture the dogâs facial expressions as he considers his challenges and gets past all manner of obstructions and dangers. I loved revisiting Neverland, and a quick trip to Oz was a rare treat indeed. Baxleyâs stories are well plotted and exciting, and Myrandâs line and wash illustrations are superb. Each drawing is a visual feast and works so well with the story line. I had the grandest time reading this book, which offers the daring reader fantasy, evil elves, helpful monkeys and even an arch villain or two. Ziggy Zig-Zags The Light and Dark Fantastic is most highly recommended."

RAWHEAD- Jon Bebbington
Editing of the manuscript is complete, and weâre well into production for professional review. "RAWHEAD", by Jon Bebbington of Lady's Island in Beaufort, SC, is an historically-accurate fiction based upon the lives of Jon's ancestor, a tenant dairy farmer in England, and his older children who have a nationwide reputation for making award-winning Cheshire cheese. The story follows the older sons who give up farm life to volunteer for military service and are caught up in the awful trench battle against the Germans in WW1. The story is an emotional peek into the relationship between commoner and gentre, tempered by shared experiences of war and recovery. Look for the finshed work this summer!
