Product Description
December 1994 brings the first CIA field assignment for Daisy Parker, ex-stripper, con artist, and borderline lunatic. It is an apparently simple job: carry a package cross-country and allow it to be stolen by the Colombian drug dealer who is after it. But Daisy is not content to be a passive courier. While ceaselessly fighting with her partner, she pinpoints the Colombian and the CIA team following them, makes contact with both, nudges events towards action, and causes random chaos until she discovers the true contents of the package she carries. Then, furious at being played for a patsy, she really gets active. If agents of the CIA were all hapless bunglers (and maybe they are), you might expect their operations to turn out something like "Decoys" (and maybe they do, more often than we know). ... Read more

Product Description
Starting with her mother's birth amid wartime paternity scandals, nothing in Daisy Parker's conception or execution is normal, so maybe Daisy never stands a chance of being normal herself. Of course, she never particularly tries Strong-willed, terrified of everything, bold, adventurous, demanding, neurotic, insane - it depends on who you talk to. As Daisy grows, the small Ohio town of Carlton grows along with her, but not fast enough for the perpetually dissatisfied child. Grief comes from her exuberantly sexual mother, her earthy, immigrant father, and Loudon Wheeler, the richest man in town, who may or may not be her grandfather."Daisy Parker" follows Daisy through three decades of adventures as a child, teenager, con artist, and virgin stripper. It takes her from infancy to adulthood, from marriage to betrayal, from Ohio to California. And finally it takes her on a long road trip that leads back home again, where she seeks the answers to long-held secrets and discovers . . . maybe . . . her destiny. ... Read more

A Laugh riot that really Hits Home
This book was hysterical.I had no idea this book existed, but just took the chance while I was doing a search through Amazon.com.Boy was I surprised.I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good,amusing read through a series of short stories that you'll remember longafter you are done.It's like Armistead Maupin's Tales from the City, without all the sex.

terrible
much hyped, very little substance.do yourself a favor and pass it by.I'm sad that I wasted time reading anything by this author.

FUNNY!
This book is so funny, that's the main thing I thought of it. And it's so easy to read, it has a real conversational prose style, like the conversations we all have in our heads about the things that baffle us andthe things we obsess about. It's good to know someone else (Campbell)thinks about that stuff too and can write about it so well that we can allrelate to it.

I hope another volume of Campbell's stories is on its way!
Scott Campbell's story collection is diverse, that's for sure!There's lots of laughs, and lots of sex and memorable characters. I especially enjoyed reading "Ice Ice Baby" and "Whaat you see is whatyou see" and "Patience is a doctor".I guess those are thekind of freaky, wierd ones, but I thought they were great.And I'm dying toknow more about the character of Lulu, she is so well-rounded andinteresting. I hope another volume is on it's way, and hooray for thereturn of the short story! Scott Campbell is right up there with all theothers publishing great short fiction these days. ... Read more

Affirming God's Love for us
A fast read at first glance, but has layers inside. Would love to see a discussion group guide to go along with the book. Great format with easy to understand topics. Something we can all read over and over. Thanks for a wonderful reminder of how I can absorb more of God's Love!

Clear, Practical Information
Scott asked me this question several months ago - "Are you a christian?", to which I easily replied, "No, but I am a very good person".I read Scott's book shortly thereafter and felt comfortable with the clear messages that are given.The cool piece for me is that this book transcends labels and can directly impact anyone who is open to learning about themselves and creating a better life.The book is easy to read and yet profoundly deep!

Great read!
This book is truly a breath of fresh air! I read this book all the way through the first time and each chapter really struck a cord.I decided to re-read one chapter each night before I go to bed to try and apply that lesson to my life the next day.I thank the author for this gift of reminding me how to be a more loving and caring person to everyone I come in contact with each day of my life.

I plan to give this book as a Christmas gift to young and old.Thank you Scott Campbell for bringing me back to center!

Scott Campbell's written words really hit Home for me...
Scott Campbell's book is eye-opening and easy to read with each Chapter pulling me in closer to read more! I found his book very moving and sincere...with great reflections that I can relate to on a daily basis. Scott's Ten Testaments helps enlighten and empower my Christian faith and my perspective and outlook on my life.
His words will lift you up, make you reflect inward and inspire you to live each day to it's fullest and to share these lessons with everyone!You will want multiple copies to refer back to and to share with others!
Thanks for your book.

This book has reminded me why Jesus is awesome!
Scott has written not just a book but a field guide to review on a daily basis. It has helped me remind myself on why I am here and what my purpose for living is. I read this book in one day. I only do this with books that are enthralling enough I cannot put down.

Read this book not just once but daily. It will give you perspective and change the way you approach your life on a daily basis.

A MUST-HAVE EDITION !
There's little original praise that couldbe heaped uponthis iconic work by Stephen King."The Shining" firmly established King as the literary master of contemporary horror, and has sold gazillion copies in both paperback and hardcover.The film by Stanley Kubrick starring a possessedJack Nicholson added another dimension to the terrifying story of the Torrance family, the very troubled father who is hired as winter caretaker for the Overlook Hotel, his patient wife, and remarkably gifted son.

One more star in the crown of "The Shining" appears with an unparalleled reading by actor/director/producer Campbell Scott.Son of two acclaimed actors, George C. Scott and Colleen Dewhurst, the younger Scott lost no time in making it clear that his was a unique talent.. Beginning in 1990 with "The Kennedys of Massachusetts" he has delivered praiseworthy performances in numerous films including "The Love Letter," "Hamlet," and "Roger Dodger," for which he received the best actor award from the National Board of Review. He also co-directed the highly acclaimed film "Big Night."

Scott brings all of this talent to an intense, thoroughly satisfying performance of "The Shining."He never "chews the scenery" or indulges in over dramatization which a lesser actor might be tempted to do considering the theme,but Scott simply terrifies the listener with his chilling reading, making the supernaturalplausible and the demonic possible.

This audio edition of "The Shining" is a must-have for all King fans and horror buffs - don't miss it!

Initiated by Grickle creator Graham Annable, he knew that the humorous talents of this gang could find a larger audience through comics. Hickee is the vehicle that ties all their Sunday afternoon sessions together -- stories that emerge from doodles or from musings about life -- resulting in a raw comic book. No censoring, no test audience, and no laugh track. Made to entertain themselves, Hickee will undoubtedly draw you into their world and provide lots of laughs along the way. One of the most exciting new anthologies today! ... Read more

From "that" age of comics
Having fond memories of the Gen 13 series from back in the day, I decided to pick up this trade for my collection.

Age, unfortunately, has left it's mark on this series, and having never read the entire miniseries back in the day, I realize how little story is told in the five issues collected. The artwork is fantastic, though in spots it's sloppy, but the quirky-fun characters I came to love in the regular series haven't been figured out at this point, and come off very generic. In fact, generic is a term that could probably be applied to this beginning to a series that ultimately gains a lot of depth.

Unless you're terribly nostalgic for the 90s or just have a special place in your heart for Gen 13, you might look elsewhere for a compelling narrative.

The beginnings of Gen 13 started here!
Gen 13 Collected Edition reprints the entire 5 issue mini-series hit of 1994 (written/co-created by Brandon Choi, Jim Lee, and J. Scott Campbell; with wonderful art by Campbell and inker Alex Garner) that was originally published by Image Comics, when Wildstorm Productions founder, superstar writer/artist Jim Lee was still at Image Comics (in 1998, Lee would leave Image Comics and sell his Wildstorm Productions to DC Comics, due to his career as a publisher having mostly precluded art jobs, which he desired to return to his roots as an illustrator, while being free of his time running the business aspects of publishing). Anyways, Gen 13 makes for a fun, great read, which I really enjoyed. This was the first teenage superhero team in the Wildstorm Universe, and there are just some funny moments between characters, plus some great action scenes going on. A definite must read for any comic book reader in my opinion. This was one of the better books being published from Image Comics at that time (and from Wildstorm Productions). This Gen 13 mini-series would spin-off an ongoing monthly series afterward, which ran at 7 years from 1995-2002 at 77 issues (and countless more spin-offs in various mini-series and specials). Another (short-lived) second series ran from 2002-2004, at a total of 17 issues (issues #0-16). In 2006, Wildstorm is trying another run at a regular Gen 13 series revival.

Enter the Next Generation
Released at a time when new Image titles were literally a dime a dozen, Gen-13 quickly jumped ahead of the pack to become one of the hottest comics around.

Gen-13 (originally titled Gen-X before Marvel's lawyers stepped in) was the first teen hero title in creator Jim Lee's Wildstorm Universe. All Wildstorm titles tie in to the saga of Team 7, an elite military unit who were unwittingly given super powers by government orders. The men of Team 7 were known as Gen-12, and Gen-13 features their offspring.

Like their fathers, the stars of Gen-13 (Fairchild, Freefall, Burnout, Rainmaker, and Grunge) all had their powers activated by a secret government agency. This trade paperback details the team's origins and their escape from government control. Gen-13 isn't too far removed from the early Lee/Kirby X-Men story - 5 teenagers with powers they never asked for, fighting for their lives under the guidance of an older mentor. In this case, the role of Professor Xavier is played by former Team 7 commander Jack Lynch, who I always thought was one of the more interesting Wildstorm characters.

The story may be pretty basic, but the characters are interesting and the dialogue is fresh (at least it was in 1993). The real highlight is the artwork, which was provided by newcomer (and future superstar) J. Scott Campbell. Campbell's dynamic style was bold and exciting, and he could draw stunning female characters like no one else.

Gen-13 became a massive hit for Wildstorm, and it all starts here. This trade paperback collects the entire 5-issue Gen-13 limited series, plus some sketchbook material by Campbell and Lee. ... Read more
