Amateur witch and sleuth Mimi Knotley is eager to see what kind of advice they have for her business… and how she can make sense of all the auras she’s been seeing.

Rumors of secret affairs and arguments with customers begin to fly, leaving Mimi and Police Chief Robert the puzzling task of finding – and catching – their elusive killer. And all the while, Mimi’s ability to see auras is growing stronger and stronger. It seems that between magic and murder, there’ll be no rest for Mimi Knotley and her trusty dog Baxter…

From author Ronald Wimberly, creator of the viral comic Lighten Up, comes a soaring graphic biography that casts new light on the first African-American fighter pilot. On the eve of World War I, Eugene Bullard was a refugee of the Jim Crow South who was determined to find a place where a Black man would be treated as a fellow human being. His search took him from rural Georgia to the streets of Paris, from the vaudeville stage to the boxing ring, and finally, from the muddy trenches to the open skies. In 1914, Bullard joined the fight to defend France—and made history as the world’s first African American fighter pilot. In this candid but sensitive portrait of Bullard, author Ronald Wimberly balances the personal and the historical to interrogate concepts of cynicism, idealism, fear, glory, and the pervasiveness of anti-Black racism.

From Alaska to the tip of the Baja California peninsula, Pacific Coast fly fishers enjoy a wealth of angling opportunities that have inspired their own selections of new and traditional fly patterns. For the first time in the sport’s history, Scott Sadil offers a lineup of proven patterns to take advantage of the region’s unsurpassed reach of flyrod prey: trout, salmon, steelhead, and both the inshore and bluewater species along the east and west coasts of the Baja peninsula. Pacific Coast Flies & Fly Fishing champions the fly patterns and fly-fishing adventure unique to these waters. This book includes over 60 fly patterns, instructions for tying each pattern, and an image of the completed fly. An introductory essay for each fly describes the development of the fly, the fishing situations in which it’s typically used, the angling problems it might solve, plus the fly’s historical antecedents. The patterns are divided between flies used for trout, flies used for salmon and steelhead, and flies tied specifically for saltwater species. To date there has never been a single book that embraces the wealth of flies and fly-fishing adventure available to Pacific Coast anglers. Over the past three decades, author Scott Sadil has written more than any other writer about the full range of the Pacific Coast's angling opportunities. His well-known work stands at the center of the Pacific Coast fly fishing community, one of the largest in the world today.
