Rusty's Birthday Fundraiser for Cross Plains Public Library

I remember the Bookmobile, which got me through summers when the school library was not open. I remember the trips downtown with Nana, which always included the library. I remember fondly the little library in Jonesboro where I was allowed to help shelve books in return for unlimited check-out privileges. And for the past 33 years I've been a friend and fan of the wonderful folks at the Cross Plains, Texas, Public Library. Far more than a repository of REH materials, they have fantastic programs for children, and resources and classes for the local community. For a town its size, Cross Plains has an amazing library and dedicated and industrious staff and volunteers to keep it thriving. I hope you'll give a thought to helping them continue to thrive with a donation, small or large. Every little bit helps. Thanks!

CONAN 
Coming September 12!

Know, O Prince, that between the time that saw the sinking of Atlantis and the glittering cities ... there was an unsuspected Age, during which resplendent realms spread across the globe. But the most illustrious of the kingdoms of this world was Aquilonia, whose supremacy was undisputed in the dreaming West. It was in this country that came Conan, the Cimmerian - black hair, dark eyes, sword in hand, a thief, a looter, a killer, with fits of melancholy just as disproportionate as his joys - to tread his sandals thrones constellated with jewels of the Earth.

Conan is one of the most famous fictional characters in the world. Robert E. Howard created it in 1932 and with him, heroic fantasy .

This hero, as well as the evocative power of his author's writing, has had and still has a major influence on the Western imagination.

For the first time, here is the complete Conan Adventures in one volume, an exceptional edition with limited edition and beautifully enriched with 251 illustrations including 21 full color pages by:

Conan le Cimmérien - Au-delà de la rivière noire 
Coming September 9!

Screenwriter: Mathieu Gabella
Designer and Colorist: Anthony Jean

The Pictish country is a dark jungle where the border between civilization and barbarism is thin. One thing only symbolizes it: the black river, which no white man is supposed to have crossed and come back alive. None, except Conan. It is at the heart of this green hell that the Cimmerian meets Balthus, a young peasant volunteer whom he rescues in extremis from the claws of fierce Pictish warriors. Together, they will try to lend a hand to the settlers who settled here on these hostile lands in the last bastion of civilization. With a dozen men, they will have to find the powerful wizard Zogar Sag before he succeeds in uniting the clans and engage his bloody invasion ...

The authors of The Unicorn revive Beyond the Black River , reputed as one of the best stories of Conan. A survivalist and warrior narrative carried away by the relentless pace of Mathieu Gabella's script and the strength of Anthony Jean's stroke.
