The Silverville Swindle
What happens when a town's local resident spots a UFO? Silverville sees nothing but dollar signs. First an amusement park and museum and then a celestial motif for the whole town. Con artists and embezzlers, tourists and kooks all get caught up in the frenzy, some hoping to make a quick buck, others seeking a spiritual message from beyond the stars. Ride along on this irreverent adventure that reveals Colorado mountain culture at its most outrageous, where nothing is sacred and everyone shares in the madness of money, murder and mayhem. A novel by Kym O'Connell-Todd and Mark Todd. Published by Ghost Road Press.

Tamped, But Loose Enough to Breathe
Not nearly as awed by -- but still respectfull of -- traditions of rural heritage, the poet writes more irreverently of both New and Old West. This collection includes poems and song-like stories, written in both free verse and form, of real life and legends, including a cycle of poems about his infamous relative, John Wesley Hardin, but told through the voices of the outlaw's victims. By Mark Todd. Published by Ghost Road Press.

Wire Song
"I'm sorry you didn't get to grow up in the country," the poet's mother told him as a child. Later, he learned what she meant. This collection of poetry celebrates living in the New West, chronicling in verse the rite of passage the (then) thirtysomething poet experienced as he struggled to become part of an agrarian community tied closely to the Earth and the natural world. By Mark Todd. Published by Conundrum Press.
