The home country of Amar is up against its greatest threat. Enemy Iri soldiers have invaded and among them are the enhanced descendants of Amar’s runaway civil war criminals from decades ago. How will Amar’s already flimsy government handle the incursion?
Will a young Taurean be able to protect his family?
And what fate lies before young Dewayne. He’s broken a serious law. Some of the people believe he should be dealt the max punishment, which is imprisonment with the other uncontrollable E.I.s. Whether young or old, there’s only one prison in the entire country of Amar to hold them all. The penitentiary in Cainesville is the permanent home for enhanced lawbreakers until their will to be a legend is subdued and broken.

Join Hub City Bookshop in welcoming John Lane for his latest book Gullies of My People: An Excavation of Family and Landscape! Buy your book on Eventbrite for 10% off and to be sure you snag a copy!
About the Book
While scouting sites for geology field trips, poet and naturalist John Lane encountered deep gullies created between the Civil War and the 1930s contributed to by his mother’s tenant farming family and their rural neighbors in Piedmont South Carolina. This brush with the poor farming practices of the past leads Lane into an exploration of his own family’s complicated history and of the larger environmental forces that have shaped the region where he chooses to live. With his sister as guide, Lane descends into the gully of his own childhood to uncover memories of a loving but alcoholic mother and a suicidal father.
Back and forth, the narrative progresses from depictions of the land—particularly the overgrown and neglected places that hold stories and mysteries of the region—to Lane’s ever-deepening search.He wonders how he, a college professor and husband settled into middle-class life, has emerged from the chaos of his family’s past. Along the way, we meet heroic Depression-era geologists, fascinating colleagues, and troubled ancestors. Lane’s extraordinary ability to weave personal history together with explorations of the natural world will remind readers of the works of Loren Eiseley and Terry Tempest Williams.

Dive into the explosive, raw, and vulnerable story of a man’s search for sanity amid his increasing dependence on DXM (dextromethorphan), the active ingredient in Robitussin and other cough suppressant medications. In Volume One, you’ll enter the underbelly of York, PA as the narrator navigates the streets and his new normal.
Halfway through 2007, Ryan Gray started to come to grips with his reality: the point where an addict senses his own futility, his own demise, but remains powerless to his own craving for a drug. As things get worse and he sees his own doomed fate, it opens the door to full and complete morbidity–Hell on earth.
Before this point, Ryan begins his life on the street like many others. He was introduced to the lifestyle by a native of York and knows which drugs can be bought from whom. As he freely shares his wealth of knowledge with Ryan, the men become like brothers–always found side by side.
Still, Ryan was staring down the barrel of a loaded gun and knew it. Will he come to terms?
Twilight in York: Volume One encompasses a narrative about immense suffering of a variety known only to the addict, the junky, or the dope fiend. It is raw, real, and relatable.
About the Author:
Ryan Gray attended the University of North Carolina Asheville (UNCA) to study literature and graduated in 2016. He is currently pursuing a career in behavioral health as a peer support specialist.
He is self-supporting (financially and otherwise) despite severe schizophrenia, depression, ADHD, and anxiety. Ryan has been unusually close to his family ever since he got clean 15 years ago. He credits his recovery to the encouragement of many people along the way, including nurses, social workers, counselors, and doctors, sponsors, and fellow AA members.
Refund Policy:
- You may request a full refund prior to the ticket cutoff.
