  • Circles, Lines, and Squiggles
    W. Nikola-Lisa / WNikola-Lisa
    Hovering somewhere between a Galilean dialogue and a Seinfeld episode, W. Nikola-Lisa converses with two associates-Castor and Pollux-about the curious world of astrology. However, reader beware: this is not a user’s manual, nor is it a logical argument for or against astrology. It’s more a tongue-in-cheek, behind-the scenes look at the fascinating world of this ancient, though...

  • This We Pray | Sea of People
    W. Nikola-Lisa / WNikola-Lisa
    The times demand a response. Some people prefer prayer and contemplation. Others prefer action. Both are acts of civil disobedience in their own right, just at opposite ends of the spectrum. Over the years I’ve come to believe that both are indispensable, that they are two sides of the same coin, distinct but inseparable. Prayer can be a powerful tool, but it is slow in its eff...

    W. Nikola-Lisa / WNikola-Lisa

But first, what is an x word? In math, “x” stands for a missing quantity, as in the equation 2(x) = 4, where x equals 2. A...

  • Folk Stories
    W. Nikola-Lisa / WNikola-Lisa
    Author and storyteller W. Nikola-Lisa presents three original folk stories in this handsome volume. While the first two stories ("The Girl and the Troll" and "Two Bags of Gold") offer traditional elements of a folk story—magic, daring, wonder, and amazement—the last story ("The Young Boy and the Old Man") is a meditation on the development of writing and the art of bookmaking. ...

  • Dragonfly
    W. Nikola-Lisa / WNikola-Lisa
    W. Nikola-Lisa explores new terrain—his childhood experiences growing up in south Texas during the early 1960s.  Unlike his previous books, this is not a book for young children as the author explores the darker elements growing up in a harsh environment.  Although the work feels like a memoir, it reads like a novel with the author’s spare, unrelenting narrative a perfect accom...
