Alexis and Ralph the Dragon...The # 1 Children's Book.
of 2009 ...From first time Published Author....Barney Kowalski
This NEWLY released children's book is an adorable story of a baby dragon left on a human couple's doorstep.Raised as a little boy ,Ralph doesn't know he's a Dragon until he meets other children.Befriended by a little girl "Alexis" ,they discover Acceptance ,and learn to celebrate their differences and how much they have in common.

As the traditional beginning of the holiday shopping season is upon us, I’d like to bring you and your customers up to date on what’s new from award-winning author Jeff Mariotte:

I made national and world news over the past few months with my comic book biography “PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL: BARACK OBAMA,” a bestseller in the comic world (and in flip-book form, with John McCain on the other side, available to bookstores, ISBN: 978-160010341-4).

Penguin/Jove released supernatural thriller RIVER RUNS RED (ISBN: 978-0-515-14477-2). David Morrell says it’s “a fascinating blend of espionage and the occult, with jaw-dropping plot twists and one of the best action sequences I’ve read in a long time.
” Trashotron. com says “Mariotte keeps you entertained and gives your gray cells something to chew on while they're helping you manufacture monsters in your mind's big-screen, surround-sound theater.”

Pocket Star just put out SPIDER-MAN: REQUIEM (ISBN: 978-1-4165-1078-9), a new novel featuring the world’s favorite webslinger.

A couple of graphic novels on the horizon: January brings ZOMBIE COP from Image Comics/Shadowline (ISBN: 978-1-60706-023-9), which includes both a 96-page comic story and a prose back-up novella set in the same zombie-fied city. The comic story has fully painted art by Szymon Kudranski.

In February last winter’s hit horror/Western miniseries GRAVESLINGER will be released in graphic novel form from IDW Publishing (ISBN: 978-1-60010-364-3).

And in May, Penguin will release COLD BLACK HEARTS, the follow-up to MISSING WHITE GIRL and RIVER RUNS RED.

Happy Holidays!
