A how-to guide enabling you to plant the rain by creating water-harvesting earthworks or rain gardens.

Masticans, an ancient bacterial intelligence, unaccountably seek to exterminate humankind. Persistently, for a billion years, Mastix has extinguished hordes of planetary systems where dwell bilateral lifeforms. But Mastix endures subtle opposition. The Enigmat dogs Mastican omnicides. A lone Mastican renegade stalls Earth's demolition, after it recognizes Enigmat affection for the Ravenhill clan. That Vancouver Island indigenous family worships Enigmat as Raven, their Great Spirit. Mastix blunders, suffering catastrophic self-injury. So, a door creaks open for survival. Will the Ravenhills embrace a radical defense to Mastican bilateral genocide? Will any humans survive Mastican malevolence? From within the warm co-mentation of RavenPod, the Ravenhills share the tale of their coastal people, their Trickster god, Daniel's happy bigamy and its end, and their turncoat alien friend, Odal.

Inconsequent Nonsense is raw Americana. We are, one and all, embedded in North American ways of living. We think and act as our forebearers' preferred, for good or ill. We add to their mix our own benighted preferences. America emerges. Sometimes we pause in our hurtle to inspect the neighborhood. This little tome is one such stock-taking. Like all such works, the result trends toward the local and personal. This book convenes a spectrum of snippets: newspaper articles, city council talks, remembrances, selections from the author's works, obituaries, theological ruminations, elegies, advice, and photos. These stories dissolve into the torrent that is America at its several precipices: overpopulation, climate change, cruelty, machine intelligence. At root, the author sings a hymn to some dogs who loved him. He thanks a few of the people who lent support or interest to existence. Deep in this detritus of words, one savors the loam in which an American life rooted. From that soil sprouted a shape of life--perhaps a life, if one tallies its joys and pains, not so very different from your own.

Justicia is the Roman incarnation of humanity's sense of preferable outcomes. Her countenance, in marble or bronze, graces many courthouses. The demi-god is, however, horribly troubled. In this little book, Justicia lays aside her scales, blindfold, and sword. She speaks with ten psychoanalysts, mysteriously appointed. Justicia explores her distress, and receives the diverse prescriptions of her analysts. Each of Justicia's psychoanalytical sessions is followed by a summary of that analyst's core work. Justicia joins the conversation so many attorneys avoid.
