Winner of the Oklahoma Book Award and the Deems Taylor ASCAP Award for Best Folk, Pop, or Jazz Biography "A beautiful job…In exploring the nuances of Guthrie's work, Cray's exacting style is pitch-perfect." —Los Angeles Times Book Review A patriot and a political radical, Woody Guthrie captured the spirit of his times in his enduring songs. He was marked by the FBI as a subversive. He lived in fear of the fatal fires that stalked his family and of the mental illness that snared his mother. At forty-two, he was cruelly silenced by Huntington’s disease. Ed Cray, the first biographer to be granted access to the Woody Guthrie Archive, has created a haunting portrait of an American who profoundly influenced Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and American popular music itself.

THE INVASION IS OVER. THEY ARE ALREADY AMONGST US. Benjamin Carter Mason died last night. Maybe he threw himself off a bridge into Los Angeles Harbor, or maybe he burned to death in a house fire in San Pedro; it doesn’t really matter. Today, Mason’s starting a new life. He’s back in boot camp, training for the only war left that matters a damn. For years, their spies have been coming to Earth, learning our weaknesses. Our governments knew, but they did nothing—the prospect was too awful, the costs too high—and now, the horrifying and utterly inhuman Cray are laying waste to our cities. The human race is a heartbeat away from extinction. That is, unless Mason, and the other men and women of Task Force OMBRA, can do anything about it. This is a time for heroes. For killers. For Grunts.

Earl Warren is rightly remembered not only as one of the great chief justices of the Supreme Court, but as one of the most influential Americans of the twentieth century. Warren Court decisions such as Brown v. Board of Education, Miranda, and Baker v. Carr have given us such famous phrases as "separate is not equal, " "read him his rights, " and "one-man-one-vote" - and have vastly expanded civil rights and personal liberties. A generation later the Warren Court's decisions still define American freedoms. Ed Cray recounts this truly American story in the finest and most comprehensive biography of Earl Warren. He has interviewed nearly all of the Chief's law clerks, four of his children, and more than one hundred others, many of whom recall for the first time their years with Warren. He has read thousands of personal letters and official documents deposited in ten libraries across the country, weaving them into a tale of political intrigue, judicial politics, family reminiscences, and a loving marriage.

Cray and crew are back for another adventure. Their friend Seal Gray loves to spin his beach ball, but when his ball spins out of control he has to make a quick decision on what he should do. "It can be difficult to confess when you know you've done something wrong, but this is a perfect story to open conversations about honesty and learning from mistakes. Young audiences will develop empathy as they see different points of view and how actions have consequences. With endearing characters, sublime illustrations, and fun rhyming text, it's hard not to enjoy Cray and friends. Beach Ball Blunder is great for primary teachers, guidance counselors, or parents!" -Sam Richardson; K Teacher; @littlecubliteracy "G Pa has created yet another perfectly crafted story, and Erica has again expertly brought that story to life with her stunning illustrations. In Beach Ball Blunder, G Pa communicates a powerful and important message in terms that young children can easily wrap their minds around. Erica's illustrations are intricate, clever, and expertly communicate the nuanced emotions that G Pa's characters are expressing throughout the story. This book should be in every elementary classroom and on every child's bookshelf, and I consider it a valuable addition to ours." -Nicole Filippone; Author

Brent Barker takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride. He grounds the story with a gut twisting plot, then as he slowly builds, you reach the top where time stands still, he plummets the reader in a hair- raising emotional free fall. You will not soon forget the life and story of Cray, a young man's journey from a prison in Illinois to the Texas Hill Country in the 1800s.
