Book 9 - Why Do We Lie?
Do you tell lies? I bet you do. Do you lie a little? Or do you lie a lot? Are they small white lies, or a whale of a tale?
-
Do you ever feel guilty for saying something not true? Lose sleep over it? Well you are not alone.
This attempt at an honest and straight forward zine is about a subject that greatly affects all of us. Yet is not discussed in children’s literature very often.

Book 8 - Marcus Aurelius
Considered one of the ‘Good’ emperors of Rome. He was also a Stoic philosopher who left behind some really thoughtful words.
-
I wanted to write a new book with a positive male perspective. But I figured out it was already written – over 2000 years ago!
This adaptation of Book One of Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations is what his words say to me. It is an unofficial Mike-a-Zine™ interpretation and definitely not a translation!

Book 7 - Anxiety Assembly
Anxiety Assembly is the name of the garage band I would have started back in the ‘90s – If I had been cool enough to be in a band.
-
Mel started a band in the early 90’s. A garage band that practiced in her basement. The groups music was unapologetically Lo-Fi, they recorded everything on cassette tape.
In retrospect not a great idea.
An assembly of anxieties, real and imagined.

Book 6 - What Is A Word?
There is more to a word than how to spell it. A zine for young readers on the existential nature of words.
-
There are things in life so fundamental that it’s easy to take them for granted.
Growing up I remember a lot of talk about how to use words. And nowadays there is a lot of talk about what words not to use.
But there seems less talk about the nature of words and how they shape and define our reality. This book simply talks about what words are.

Book 4- The Wanna Bee
Are you really great at drawing and want to learn how to get even better? Then this book is not for you!

Book 3- The Cave
There is a secret place hidden in the deepest, darkest depths of a family home. A place children, or little coyotes, should not go.
-
Boys don’t seem to make art as much as they used too. Which is a shame, finding art really saved me. It gave me purpose, and something to do. Which kept me out of trouble!
Seeing my dad work on creative projects in his “man cave” was what inspired me to do art. This book is about rediscovering positive masculine traditions that can inspire boys today.
