Carl Hileman’s fine art photography exhibits have drawn enthusiastic viewers from around the country, mostly because his views of man’s second-best friend are quirky, loving, and unique. In Cows: A Rumination, sixty of his photos are collected for the first time in book form. Using infrared, black-and-white film, his works give a glow to the cows that highlight their natural dignity and power. Words of bovine wisdom from a herd of notables — all of them, like their subjects, outstanding in their fields — pay homage to the cow in song, poetry, and humor. Contemporary contributor

Laughter and hope make the best defense against stress. Here, Lori Borgman takes on life’s daily pressures with her trademark homespun humor. There’s plenty here to make a woman’s eyelids twitch: anxiety about love handles; teaching a kid to drive a stick shift; the hormonal roller coaster ; and the challenge of being married to a guy who claims women live longer than men because man years are tougher on the body. All Stressed Up and No Place To Go offers up an arsenal of tension-busting laughs, plus an uplifting message about friendship, family, and faith.

Holy Tango of Literature is a unique and captivating collection mimicking the great writers of literary history. This devilishly witty book has a twist: Each writer’s name is rearranged as a title, creating the subject for a parody rendered in the author’s style.
