Hard Nose, a story by Hayes Brown.

About the book: "In life, the defining moments and turning points often arrive without warning.  Not for the faint of heart, Hayes Brown's new book, Hard Nose, is the story of a teenager forced to face one of those moments head on."  Cover design and author illustration by Andre R. Carley.  The December 2009 first printing consists of a signed, limited edition of 26 lettered and 100 numbered copies.  Available in softcover. 

Booga, a novel by Hayes Brown.

About the book: "Booga is a hilarious novel about a man who decides to quit his job, break his wedding engagement, drive across the country, compete in boomerang tournaments, and kill himself.  Along the way, Boo Rasmuson is joined by a beautiful blonde hitchhiker, a green-glowing freelance journalist, and a mannequin who comes to life.  This small group becomes the core of a new cultural phenomenon dubbed--'Booga,' which grows as it follows Boo on his quest to become a world-class boomerangist.  Booga is a postmodern fable about life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and ultimately about humanity's destiny to recreate itself."  Available in hardcover and softcover.

24 Epigraphs from Booga, a broadside by Hayes Brown.

This broadside, containing the chapter epigraphs from Booga, was designed by Andre R.

Carhood: A Southern Memoir by Hayes Brown.

About the book: "Carhood is a must-read for anyone who has ever been in a car.  This original coming-of-age story told through the author's memories of his family's cars is both humorous and moving.  The power in this small book is how it prompts readers to imagine their own carhoods and begin telling funny and meaningful stories to their friends and familes."  Cover design and chapter illustrations by Andre R. Carley.  Available in softcover.
