Scrappy young Jimmy is a pro wrestler in the making, and he’s up for taking on anyone and anything. From his own family, his schoolwork, wild animals and pirates, he’s challenging the world one small fight at a time, but can his hopes and dreams take him all the way to stellar success? Or will his fists finally get him into too much trouble?

Debut creator Lara Kaminoff's graphic novel about the human spirit is funny and touching, with anti-hero Jimmy wrestling his way into your heart and changing your outlook on the fighting spirit within all of us.

Lara Kaminoff is a cartoonist and book-slinger living in Seattle with her beloved and their cat, Creeper. She’s inspired by an endless parade of podcasts, the magical world of fungi, brilliant friends, climbable trees, and danceable floors. Right now she’s probably talking too fast, thinking too hard or trying to fix something that ain’t broke.

Faithful Penelope waits for her husband’s return as she weaves a shroud that foretells her doom, Scylla once a beautiful nymph turned monster prowls the seas hungry for flesh, while the witch Circe falls for a man who will leave her.

Valentine Carter’s fierce verse novel debut gives voice to the mostly forgotten and maligned female characters of Homer’s epic The Odyssey.

It is a celebratory ode to those who survive within and outside of gender norms and questions how those without a voice find freedom within the world of men.

Valentine Carter grew up in a small village, escaped to the capital and now lives by the sea. They recently completed an MA in creative writing at Birkbeck, University of London, where they are now studying for a PhD. Valentine has short fiction published by The Fiction Pool, Bandit Fiction, In Yer Ear and The Mechanics’ Institute Review: Issue 15 and Issue 16, and poetry published by Perverse and Visual Verse.
