Item Description

Unbridled Books, a premier publisher of works of rich literary quality that appeal to a broad audience, has compiled a collection of the following SIGNED novels:

MOHR: A NOVEL by Frederick Reuss is about a man and wife whose life together is marked irreparably by a deeply troubled and world-testing era.

SONG OF THE CROW by Layne Maheu - Recalling both the magical imagination of Richard Adams’s Watership Down and the spiritual richness of Anita Diamant’s The Red Tent, Song of the Crow is a soaring debut.

THE UNNATURAL HISTORY OF CYPRESS PARISH by Elise Blackwell  This a beautifully turned novel of love and natural history, married to the shadowy politics of Louisiana, a novel about what manhood means now and what it meant in the south in the 1920s.

HICK by Andrea Portes (CA author) - Set as a coming-of-age novel, Hick tracks the real perils that modern teenagers so often face. And it does so with bright wit, energy, and an indomitable spirit.  This is a book that will grab the reader from the first page and not let go.  And it is written by a woman who is becoming a cultural force in the hippest parts of Los Angeles.

LOST SON by M. Allen Cunningham (former CA author) - Spanning western Europe from 1875 to 1917 and presenting a gothic historical Paris that subverts our old assumptions regarding the City of Light, M. Allen Cunningham’s new novel brings a brooding atmosphere and human complexity to an intimate and imaginative portrait of one of the most uniquely sensitive artists of his time, a poet whose odd childhood and difficult early life will both fascinate and perhaps help explain his determination to stay true to his artistic vision at almost any cost.

BREATH AND BONES by Susann Cokal (former CA author) - Following Mirabilis, her highly acclaimed debut, Susann Cokal blends pre-Raphaelite painting, American brothels, Utahan polygamists, a bit of cross-dressing, a dynamite-wielding labor movement, one California millionaire, and the invention of electrical stimulation (as treatment for consumption) into a comic novel that gallops across the American west.
