SUMMARY:John Briscoe: The Lost Poems of Cangjie
DESCRIPTION:John Briscoe’s The Lost Poems of Cangjie\, published by RiskPress\, are translations of recently discovered poems of the Chinese historical figure Cangjie\, storied inventor of the Chinese system of writing during the reign of The Yellow Emperor\, Huangdi\, in the 27th century BCE\, approximately 4700 years ago. \n(Some scholars do not believe there was a Yellow Emperor\, just as they once believed there was no Xia dynasty. Evidence unearthed in the city of Yanshi in 1959\, however\, proved the existence of the Xia\, which ruled after the time of the Yellow Emperor from approximately 2100 to 1800 BCE. The discoveries of Cangjie’s poems may prove the existence of the Yellow Emperor.) \nJohn Briscoe’s Crush: Wine and California from the Padres to Paris was one of four finalists for the 2016 California Historical Society Book Award\, and will be published by the University of Nevada Press this fall. His essay The Judgment of Paris\, lavishly praised by California Poet Laureate Dana Gioia\, ran in Catamaran Literary Reader last year and is a nominee for both the Pushcart and Best American Essay awards. He has practiced law in San Francisco for 45 years\, tried and argued cases in the United States Supreme Court and the Permanent Court of International Arbitration in The Hague\, was Special Adviser to the United Nations for the environmental aftermath of the Gulf War\, and is a Distinguished Fellow at the University of California\, Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Gabe Hudson
DESCRIPTION:Gabe Hudson discusses his new novel\, Gork\, The Teenage Dragon. \nGork isn’t like the other dragons at WarWings Military Academy. He has a gigantic heart\, two-inch horns\, and an occasional problem with fainting. His nickname is Weak Sauce and his Will to Power ranking is Snacklicious—the lowest in his class. But he is determined not to let any of this hold him back as he embarks on the most important mission of his life: tonight\, on the eve of his high school graduation\, he must ask a female dragon to be his queen. If she says yes\, they’ll go off to conquer a foreign planet together. If she says no\, Gork becomes a slave.\nVying with Jocks\, Nerds\, Mutants\, and Multi-Dimensioners to find his mate\, Gork encounters an unforgettable cast of friends and foes\, including Dr. Terrible\, the mad scientist; Fribby\, a robot dragon obsessed with death; and Metheldra\, a healer specializing in acupuncture with swords. But finally it is Gork’s biggest perceived weakness\, his huge heart\, that will guide him through his epic quest and help him reach his ultimate destination: planet Earth.\nA love story\, a fantasy\, and a coming-of-age story\, Gork the Teenage Dragon is a wildly comic\, beautifully imagined\, and deeply heartfelt debut novel that shows us just how human a dragon can be
