![]() ![]() Much has changed since autumn when Kelley Winslow learned she was a Faerie princess, fell in love with Sonny Flannery, and saved the mortal realm from the ravages of the Wild Hunt. Now, Kelley must come to terms with her heritage-and her growing feelings for Sonny-if she wants to save not only herself, but also the human world that she holds dear. Sonny warns Kelley that she is no mere mortal, and that she is being hunted by powerful forces from the Faerie realm. ![]() ![]() But when she meets the handsome Sonny Flannery, Kelley has to face the shocking truth that the wold of Faeries is all too real-and that she is an unwitting part of it. Seventeen-year-old actress Kelley Winslow thinks that playing the role of the fairy queen Titania in a production of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream could be her luck break-if she can pull it off. ![]() ![]() An equivalent book for me has been Nelson Algren's book Nonconformity, which likewise has had such an impact on my life and no one else seems to care about. Détection is a book that really changed Claire's life, and then she went out in the world and found out that no one gives a shit, and that is a heartbreaking place to be-a religion with no members. But to me-I could cry just thinking about that book. This guy has the plates that printed Post Office, one of the most beautiful books in English. So, in part, that's what Détection is about: the fact that we writers put so much into our books, and we hope they will change readers lives, and sometimes they do-but then twenty years later they're at a flea market and you can't give them away. ![]() He has a whole garage full of this stuff and no one wants it. I asked if he'd tried ebay, other book dealers (this guy was not a book guy, just a very cool and smart flea market guy), everything I could imagine. So he was selling the blocks that had printed Paul Bowles and Wanda Coleman and John Fante and Charles Bukowski, and no one wanted them. His friend worked for the printer and, long story short, saved them all from the trash. So I look and it turns out this guy has stacks and stacks of unused paper book covers (paper wrappers) from Black Sparrow Press, plus a bunch of printing blocks. And something from Black Sparrow Press, which I'm sure you and your readers will know, caught my eye at one of the booths. ![]() ![]() Well, I'm going to answer that with a story: yesterday I went to the Rose Bowl flea market here in LA. ![]() ![]() Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery and due to various reasons, the delivery may take longer than the original estimated timeframe.

Less usual, for the genre as a whole, is the vividness with which he limns his heroine's intense, if fairly ordinary, inner life. Ware's style is a model of compression in both word and picture. I can't wait to experience it again." -Steve Almond, The New Republic His work is brutal in the way all great art is. It's Ware's ruthless and tender pursuit of undisguised emotion.
