Release Day: That Other Dashwood Girl

DID YOU MISS IT? The Release Day for That Other Dashwood Girl

We are excited for the release of The Other Dashwood Girl by A.R, Farina!

Sometimes, you must be totally lost to finally find yourself.

Maggie Dashwood thought her whole life was laid out for her. Her well-to-do father had a plan that she and her two older sisters would follow to ensure the family’s success. When tragedy strikes, everything she knows about the world changes, and her life is turned upside down.

Now, she, her mother and her two sisters must leave behind everything they’ve ever known while relying on the charity of others to begin again. Stranded in a new place with relative strangers, the Dashwoods try to stay a family while they work through their grief and find out if life can go on.

Will the family survive in-tact? Will Maggie discover her true self? This modern-day retelling of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility is full of heart, tears, and ultimately, triumph.

Release Day: Comics Lit Vol. 1

We are excited for the release of Comic Lit Vol 1 by Alyson Shelton, Eric Lee, Kelly Gaines, Seth Singleton, AA McCartney, Heath Fodor, A.R. Farina, Tonya Todd, and Anthony D. Holt Jr.!

Comic books are high art.

They—and their graphic novel counterparts—harken back to classic literature and artworks. Through a series of essays, the authors will illustrate that modern pop culture characters are direct descendants of classic works of literature and their visual depiction is inspired by the works of master artists.

Join us as we peel back layers to discover gothic influences, representations of badass females, uses of the mask, and the new look of Rappaccini’s Daughter as well as discuss teaching comics in college, Black identity and power, mythological and religious tie-ins, and many more correlations hidden within the pages of action-packed heroes and villains. The essayists in this collection are, first and foremost, comic book fans with extensive backgrounds in art, film, education, literature, and writing.

Comics Lit Vol. 1 contains essays by Alyson Shelton, Eric Lee, Kelly Gaines, Seth Singleton, AA McCartney, Heath Fodor, A.R. Farina, Tonya Todd, and Anthony D. Holt Jr. Foreword by Bryan Edward Hill.

4 Horsemen is so excited to bring you this Jane Austen retelling. 

Sometimes you have to leave home to find where you really belong.

Junior Price wanted desperately to get out of her small town and the demands of her big family. Upon winning a scholarship to an elite private college thousands of miles away, she packed her bags and went to find her place in the world. She soon discovers that she may not be ready to be out on her own.

Mansfield College is full of the rich and the wealthy who play by a whole different set of rules than Junior understands. She tries her best to fit in and follow her heart only to discover that her small-town southern charm doesn’t work on everyone.
