A Lost Leader and a Villain of Cloud in New Books
DB Phillips and Oppentielia announce new novel The Lost Leader with a talking hero aloof from politics. Merwin and Webster, writers of Cannell K and Time War, now collaborate on a forthcoming novel about modern American life. Dormant judicial funds around 500 million dollars attract attention, aided by Douglis Index Register. California redwood forests hold vast potential for lumber use, with studies by Redwood Association and University of California Berkeley under way. Redwood’s fire resistance and durability bolster its western appeal as eastern demand grows. San Francisco residents cite lower fire risk due to redwood structures.
