"Phoebe is a remarkably real little girl, as bright and imaginative as Bill Watterson's "Calvin," as touchingly vulnerable as Charles Schulz's "Charlie Brown." And if these strike you as big names to conjure with, I'll go further and state for the record that in my opinion "Heavenly Nostrils "is nothing less than the best comic strip to come along since "Calvin and Hobbes. "Simpson is that good, and that original." --Peter S. Beagle, author of "The Last Unicorn," from the Introduction A boy and his dog . . . a girl and her . . . unicorn? It all started when Phoebe skipped a rock across a pond and accidentally hit a unicorn in the face. Improbably, this led to Phoebe being granted one wish, and she used it to make the unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, her obligational best friend. But can a vain mythical beast and a nine-year-old daydreamer really forge a connection? Indeed they can, and that's how "Phoebe and Her Unicorn" unfolds. This beautifully drawn strip follows the unlikely friendship between a somewhat awkward girl and the unicorn who gradually shows her just how special she really is. Through hilarious adventures where Phoebe gets to bask in Marigold's "awesomeness," the friends also come to acknowledge that they had been lonely before they met and truly appreciate the bond they now share.

When B. Comfort's The Cashmere Kid appeared in 1993, Publishers Weekly wrote, "Vermont goat-herding may not sound like material for a gripping mystery, but in Comfort's hands it achieves that dimension." Now readers who missed the earlier adventures of Tish McWhinny can enjoy the very first, also set in the pristine, picture-perfect village of Lofton. The tranquility of this southern Vermont haven is disturbed, however, when Tish's newest neighbor arrives and proves to be an entire cult. Calling itself The Ring of Right, its intent and purposes are anything by apparent. Tish first senses that something is odd when a young reporter arrives to write an article on the "Ringers" and promptly disappears. Then, walking in the woods, Tish tumbles into what on examination seems to be an ancient Druid cave. By the time the inevitable murder takes place and Tish herself looks like the suspect, the little town has been transformed into a hotbed of intrigue.

One of the best-loved books in the Bible holds a mystery. While working in Corinth, the Apostle Paul penned his letter to the Romans. Paul chose a woman named Phoebe to hand-carry his letter to the church in Rome. In Romans, Chapter 16, Phoebe's name is at the head of a long list of noble workers Paul praises for their service. "I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a deacon in the church in Cenchrea. Welcome her in the Lord as one who is worthy of honor among God's people. Help her in whatever she needs, for she has been helpful to many, and especially to me." Romans 16:1-2, NLT] Who is Phoebe? Why did Paul choose this woman to deliver his precious letter? And why would Phoebe volunteer to make a nearly 1000-mile, sometimes harrowing, always dangerous, journey from her home in Cenchrae, Greece to Rome? In this first book in the Phoebe's Journeys series, Of Passion And Pride, Phoebe is a teenager living near Corinth, Greece in the small shipping village of Cenchrae, a few miles south of the bustling city of Corinth. When her father dies unexpectedly, Phoebe finds herself at the center of a power struggle. Although she is only sixteen-years-old, headstrong Phoebe is determined to protect her father's legacy and retain ownership of her family's lucrative Greek shipping agency, regardless of the roadblocks she encounters. Evil jealousies, long-held resentments, and the mor s of Roman society conspire against her. Even Phoebe's lifelong friends and family have their doubts and shake her resolve. Phoebe begins to question what she can believe and who she can trust. Meanwhile, just north of Phoebe's hometown of Cenchrae, the Apostle Paul is working in Corinth with fellow tentmakers, Priscilla and Aquila. Paul is struggling to make ends meet and fund his next mission. When their paths cross, an unlikely partnership is formed between Paul and Phoebe. This is a richly imagined backstory of the woman Paul chose to be his emissary and carry and present his letter to the Christian church in Rome. Of Passion And Pride brings texture and nuance to first-century life in the Roman Empire. Corinth is no longer just an ancient city on a musty map. You'll experience the cosmopolitan excitement and the debauchery of the Agora marketplace. You'll meet soldiers, servants, and gladiators who all have important roles in Phoebe's world. You'll enter the hushed halls of Proconsul Gallio's villa and hear him debate the Apostle Paul, using techniques taught to him by his father, philosopher Seneca the Great. Suddenly, life at all levels of society from the mariners to the merchants, from the synagogue leaders to the Corinthian girls' is real. Phoebe's Journey, Part One, Of Passion And Pride, is sure to capture your imagination and enhance your understanding of the life and culture in New Testament times.

I cannot wait to read Part Two and I will definitely be reading this again " "I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a deacon in the church in Cenchrea.

Was she a member of the Jewish Mafia or was she just another groupie idolizing musical stars? Was she having fantasies of the glamour and glitz of the jazz scene or was she living the harsh realities of it? Phoebe's Fantasy attempts to answer these probing questions. Phoebe's Fantasy depicts the deep ties among Jews, blacks, and jazz in the 20th and 21st centuries through the lens of the life and struggles of Phoebe Jacobs. The daughter of a Jewish mafioso, she used her connections to organized crime to further the careers of jazz innovators. For more than seven decades, Phoebe was a publicist, recording contractor, lobbyist, philanthropist, and overall "fixer" for dozens of clients. They included Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Duke Ellington, Peggy Lee, Eubie Blake, Benny Goodman, Sy Oliver, Della Reese, Dave Brubeck, and Wynton Marsalis--some of the principal creators of jazz. Jazz, America's only true art form, has survived in great part because of support from foreign countries, including Japan, France, Israel, Germany, and Australia. Today, jazz is at a crossroads. More than a half century ago, Phoebe and the aforementioned countries began a mission to rescue jazz. Will the death of Phoebe Jacobs signal the end of this great music?
