  The Lighthouse Cat: A Tale of Light, Courage, and the Sea 
   In a quiet lighthouse perched on a storm-tossed cliff, where the waves crash and the winds whisper forgotten stories, lives a small but fearless feline named Nixie. Guardian of the lantern and silent watcher of the tides, Nixie isn’t just any cat—she holds a secret as old as the sea itself. 
  When a fierce tempest threatens to swallow a nearby village and the lighthouse keeper goes missing, it’s up to Nixie to brave the storm. Guided by instinct, memory, and the flickering flame of the beacon above, she embarks on a heart-pounding journey across treacherous rocks, haunted shores, and crashing waves. 
  Blending the charm of classic animal tales with the lyrical beauty of maritime folklore, The Lighthouse Cat is a timeless story of courage in the face of darkness, the enduring power of light, and the mysterious bond between the sea and those who call it home. 
  Perfect for readers young and old, this is a tale that will warm hearts, stir imaginations, and remind us all that even the smallest among us can shine the brightest light.

  Quantum Criminals - Ramblers...

  Steely Dan's songs are exercises in fictional world-building. No one else in the classic-rock canon has conjured a more vivid cast of rogues and heroes, creeps and schmucks, lovers and dreamers and cold-blooded operators—or imbued their characters with so much humanity. 
   
   
   
  Pulling from history, lived experience, pulp fiction, the lore of the counterculture, and their own darkly comic imaginations, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker summoned protagonists who seemed like fully formed people with complicated pasts, scars they don't talk about, delusions and desires and memories they can't shake. Every name is a locked-room mystery, beguiling listeners and earning the band an exceptionally passionate and growing cult fandom. 
   
   
   
  Quantum Criminals presents the world of Steely Dan as it has never been seen, much less heard. Artist Joan LeMay has crafted lively, color-saturated images of her favorite characters from the Daniverse to accompany writer Alex Pappademas's explorations of the famous and obscure songs that inspired each painting, in short essays full of cultural context, wild speculation, inspired dot-connecting, and the occasional conspiracy theory. All of it is refracted through the perspectives of the characters, making for a musical companion unlike any other. Quantum Criminals is a singular celebration of Steely Dan's musical cosmos.
