Sinossi

The Die-Hard Dog  
Lance, a Border Collie, spends a few miserable weeks inside his owners’ house before he is thrown outside and chained, without food, water or shelter. For ten years he is kept alive by a neighbor, but remains trapped on hostile territory, tortured by people and attacked by animals. Then he and the author accidentally cross paths. 
When his owners threaten to get rid of him “permanently,” the author and his wife pull off a last-minute rescue and move to another town. End of story? No, just the beginning.  Lance shows his gratitude by launching a reign of terror against his rescuers and anyone else he can get his teeth on. Experts and non-experts declare him a lost cause. His owners face an agonizing dilemma: Do we destroy the dog we rescued? 
While waiting for his fate to be decided, Lance furnishes loads of comic relief. He makes every car ride a life-threatening yet rollicking (though not to the state trooper) adventure; his Houdini-like disappearing acts defy explanation; he fouls up a drug bust; and he challenges  a swan to a swimming contest — guess who wins? When Lance isn’t menacing, he’s entertaining. 
Fasten your seat belt and take the same crazy, emotional rollercoaster ride his rescuers took. Be warned! Lance will get into your heart and under your skin (not literally, of course!).

    Discover twenty-two “bad-girl” goddesses from cultures around the world in this other-worldly guide by the author of Tender Murderers and Wild Irish Roses. 
     
    Eternally Bad is a wickedly fun, irreverent tribute to mythological “bad girl” goddesses from around the world. Trina Robbins, award-winning feminist cartoonist, takes off the gloves and tells the tales of twenty not-so-sweet, totally immoderate, and utterly enjoyable goddesses. The earliest proponents of sexual equality, they slip mickeys into drinks, have catfights with their sisters, get even when they get dumped, fight, kill, and generally have a great time. You’ll read about Osmotar, the Finnish witch who created beer, Freya—the original Snow White—who slept with dwarfs to get a famous diamond necklace, Jezebel, Kali, and others. Thoroughly delightful, Eternally Bad shows us how women with the ultimate attitude can have fun. Plus, there’s even a test to help you discover your own inner bitch goddess! 
     
    Praise for Eternally Bad 
     
    “Robbins reveals a genuine love and respect for the kickass Goddesses and mythologies she writes about and the tales that she retells. A great introduction to a wonderful subject.” —Neil Gaiman, New York Times–bestselling author of American Gods 
     
    “Robbins shows us the soap opera lives of bitch Goddesses who’d sooner turn you into a wild boar than bless your drum circle.” —Michelle Tea, author of Valencia, Against Memoir, and Without a Net 
     
    “If you enjoy Goddess humor, Trina Robbins is your writer! She rocks the old mythology while teaching it. Eternally Bad is consistently excellent!” —Zsuzsanna Budapest, author of Summoning the Fates and Grandmother Moon

    "I'm sitting on the floor in my mother's house, surrounded by stuff."So begins Jennifer Howard's Clutter, an expansive assessment of our relationship to the things that share and shape our lives. Sparked by the painful two-year process of cleaning out her mother's house in the wake of a devastating physical and emotional collapse, Howard sets her own personal struggle with clutter against a meticulously researched history of just how the developed world came to drown in material goods. With sharp prose and an eye for telling detail, she connects the dots between the Industrial Revolution, the Sears & Roebuck catalog, and the Container Store, and shines unsparing light on clutter's darker connections to environmental devastation and hoarding disorder. In a confounding age when Amazon can deliver anything at the click of a mouse and decluttering guru Marie Kondo can become a reality TV star, Howard's bracing analysis has never been more timely.
