The Longquist Adventures: Western Odyssey

In a great blending of fantasy, adventure, and mythology, The Longquist Adventures sets the stage for a new young hero in modern literature. Written for elementary students as young as third grade, this novel will be loved by those at the middle school and high school level, as well as anyone familiar with Greek mythology.

Based upon the epic Greek tale of The Odyssey, yet set in the American Wild West, The Longquist Adventures: Western Odyssey chronicles the journey of a young boy and his guide through a perilous world of dangerous encounters and fantastic creatures. It is a world of gun fights at high noon, stampedes on the great plains, stagecoach robbery, and an ultimate showdown with a ruthless, powerful gangster aboard a turn-of-the-century paddlewheel in the San Francisco Bay. Can the time-traveling boy and the law-abiding Marshal restore order to the chaos of the American West gone truly wild?

YEAR OF THE DOGMAN
	Part mystery, part science fiction, Year of the Dogman is an imaginative, compelling, and adrenaline-pumping adventure. Author Frank Holes, Jr. takes no prisoners in creating a diabolical creature that leaves the forest to prey on the hapless hamlet of Twin Lakes in Northern Michigan . When night falls, the nocturnal beast, Dogman, scares the living daylights out of anyone he happens upon as he searches for a timeless treasure stolen from a Native American tribe. In the midst of the chaos, a young teacher is forced to put two and two together no matter how high the cost to rid the village of the treacherous man-beast who thrives on destruction and terror.	"The creature was not a wild dog, nor a wolf or coyote, and truly not a werewolf, at least not in terms that Hollywood always set on such creatures of myth. Its emergence had nothing to do with the full moon. Like any other nocturnal predator, it hid during the day and was active at night. It did not fear crucifixes, garlic, wolfs bane, or any other of the infamous remedies made famous in the movies. It could not be killed by silver bullets, or regular bullets for that matter. It was a supernatural combination of an otherworldly specter and a wild, ravenous creature. Though it had the appearance of a gigantic, wild canine, it had many human-like characteristics too. Its paws were more like hands, and it could stand up on its hind legs. And probably the worst of all, its muzzle had the unnatural ability to make many of the same facial expressions as humans could make."
It is the seventh year of the decade, and the Dogman has come to the little northern Michigan town of Twin Lakes....
