The call of the wild clashes with a fondness for snacking and sleeping late"oand a large dose of Murphy ]s Law"oin this collection of nostalgic, humorous hunting and fishing stories.

From an outsider perspective learning about a sometimes misunderstood cultural pastime, a beautifully written and contrarian narrative about what it means to hunt in America today. When Lily Raff McCaulou traded in an indie film production career in New York for a reporting job in central Oregon, she never imagined that she'd find herself picking up a gun and learning to hunt. She'd been raised as a gun-fearing environmentalist and an animal lover, and though a meat-eater, she'd always abided by the principle that harming animals is wrong. But Raff McCaulou's perspective shifted when she began spending weekends fly-fishing and weekdays interviewing hunters for her articles, realizing that many of them were more thoughtful about animals and the environment than she was. So she embarked upon the project of learning to hunt from square one. From attending a Hunter Safety course designed for children to field dressing an elk and serving it for dinner, she explores the sport of hunting and all it entails, and tackles the big questions surrounding one of the most misunderstood American practices and pastimes. Not just a personal memoir, this book also explores the role of the hunter in the twenty-first century, the tension (at times artificial) between hunters and environmentalists, and new models of sustainable and ethical food procurement.

It is a rare cartoonist who can introduce new characters into a successful strip without upsetting readers. But since Wiley introduced Lucy, the lovable Pygmy-Clydesdale-with-an-attitude as the companion to Danae, Non Sequitur's cynical anti-heroine, fans have been clamoring for more of the pair. Now readers can enjoy the adventures of Lucy and Danae in the Non Sequitur collection dedicated to their exploits, Lucy and Danae: Something Silly This Way Comes. Lucy's lovable equine goofiness tempers Danae's overdeveloped cynicism as Danae struggles with school, her father, and her sunny little sister, Kate. World-weary beyond her years, Danae sports a skull-in-heart T-shirt and perpetual scowl, while Lucy embodies unbridled optimism with her horsey grin. From their first meeting at summer camp, to Danae's "sneaky yet noble" plot to train Lucy as a guide horse for the blind (they do exist!), to an unplanned expedition to Santa's Workshop (in Maine, not the North Pole), Danae and Lucy turn the cliche of a sentimental girl and her horse upside down and inside out. With Lucy and Danae, Wiley Miller has found a winning combination that readers can't resist.

The soon to be released surrealism book called ULTRA MURDER deals with the CIA program called MK Ultra where the Company tried to create a truth serum using LSD as the main chemical component. In 1973 the director of the CIA, Richard Helms, ordered the files from MK Ultra to be destroyed. My book picks up from that point and mixes pharmacology and politics to create a world where young James gets involved in a test program to find a new mental illness drug and, only too late, finds out it is an Extra Sensory Perception drug that is hoped will give great advantage to spies in the shadowy world of espionage. James tries the drug and garners a dynamic and potent response. The rest is cops and robbers as James tries to get this new tool to the people most helpful to the cause of freedom and fairness. This great drug happening that so helps out James is what others have been waiting centuries to happen. Two stealth operatives have been calling out over the sands of time to bring humanity to a crucial tipping point and the friends of James find themselves petitioned to join a greater collective of like minded individuals. When viewed from the perspective of mirth it is Psychedelia at Area 51 flying UFOs to Columbia. The real heavy questions of existential purpose in life get discussed in a general and relaxed fashion. Humor is involved. A dark humor is there. Enjoy if at all possible.

Guy Grieve's life was going nowhere - trapped in a job he hated, commuting 2,000 miles a month and up to his neck in debt. But he dreamed of escaping it all to live alone in one of the wildest, most remote places on earth - Alaska. And just when he'd given up hope, the dream came true. Suddenly Guy was thrown into one of the harshest environments in the world, miles from the nearest human being and armed with only the most basic equipment. And he soon found - whether building a log cabin from scratch, hunting, ice fishing or of course dodging bears in the buff - that life in the wilderness was anything but easy... Part Ray Mears, part Bill Bryson, CALL OF THE WILD is the gripping story of how a mild-mannered commuter struggled with the elements - and himself - and eventually learned the ways of the wild.
