  • The Awfuls

    Katy Jamison

    Paperback (Independently published, Aug. 29, 2019)
    Mr. Awful and Mrs. Awful live in a warn-out, scuffed up, tattered Giant’s boot house in the woods on Chicken Dinner Road. They decided to have some kids so they’d be able to make them do all the cooking, cleaning, and unpleasantness, while they could do whatever they wished. Thus Ezekiel, Nanette, Gideon, Mildred, Lester, Imogen, Rufus, Agnes, Horace and Wren were born. But with the last name of Awful, it should be no surprise that they were awful too! All in their own unique way of course; which made things quite exciting, odd and irritating! Ezekiel is a trickster. Nanette is always up for making a bet. Gideon is the biggest liar. Mildred wants to live in outer space, so she tries to convert household appliances into rocket ships. Lester is a horrid pest; annoying is what he does best. Imogen has a penchant for asking “why” to E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. Rufus is the artist of the family; drawing and painting on everything he’s not supposed to. Agnes is a big tattletale. Horace eats everything that’s not edible; including parts of the house. And Wren is a stage-5 clinger extraordinaire. When you have ten awful kids in one boot house, chaos and shenanigans ensue and somehow a llama ends up on the roof!

  • In Between Days

    Anne Jamison

    eBook (, Sept. 11, 2019)
    Chicago suburbs, 1985. The high school. The mall. The blood-stained Mercedes. Misogyny. Homophobia. Class warfare. Cocaine. (And the first semester isn't even over yet.)The Jocks with their pastel Izods. The Barbies. The loser Burnouts.High school in the 1980s had rules. Barbies and Jocks can mix. Barbie cheerleaders steer clear of the losers. Punks want to burn it all down. Samantha Ward doesn't love the rules, but she plays to win. So when a snarky Burnout goes after her in a face-off, of course she fights back. Of course she fights mean. She may not get his sex joke, but she knows he made one. About her. In front of the entire cafeteria. And what's worse, she feels a tingle when she looks at bad-boy Jason. How could she know her mean girl put-down would launch a war? Or that the school she knew hid a darker world she'd never even dreamed of? In Between Days is a pitch-perfect story of first love, friendship, and enemies; of loyalty, betrayal, and the power of secrets. This darkly funny, suspenseful tale is perfect for fans of The Outsiders and The Breakfast Club."THIS WAS a bittersweet tumble into eighties high school nostalgia, with all the angst, sexual tension and emotional confusion involved with first love, and so well done it was a non-stop read to the end... (Oh, and one of the best first kisses I have EVER read...)," says one reviewer.

  • Always Share Your Iceberg: A Penguin's Guide to Life

    Jamison Odone

    (Tilbury House Publishers, May 2, 2017)
    Always Share Your Iceberg: Big Words from Small Penguins is a perfect gift for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, a graduation day―or any day! It was Virginia Woolf who said, “You cannot find peace by avoiding life,” and it was Confucius who said “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day,” but who can remember such things? You’d remember if a penguin said them, and now they do. Always Share Your Iceberg pairs 52 wise, witty, profound quotes from history’s great writers, thinkers, and dreamers with penguin cartoons that bring the words to life in a new and engaging way. J.D. Salinger said, “She wasn’t doing a thing that I could see, except standing there, leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together.” And when the “she” in the illustration is a penguin,a great quote becomes unforgettable.
