A Tale of Two Tigers
Two plush tigers - Tigg and Grr - are granted the power to ascend beyond being simple toys, but are separated when a man purchases one of them for his young son Jesse. Their lives as sentient toys become vastly different: Tigg becomes the favorite companion of his human boy while Grr leads a life of contemplation and music. The adventures that they have define their path to become the heroes that they were destined to become, using their great power to help children in need of a miracle.

This charming, complex tale is the brainchild of philanthropist and author L. Steven Seiden. The Mercenary Muse is honored to be a part of this charitable work, helping to raise funds for children's rescue programs.

An anthology of inner work poetry.
by Ibrahim El Far
When his life crumbled into tragedy and loss, Ibrahim El Far voiced his hard-gained wisdom through poetry. In this rhythmic meditation of word, Ibrahim reflects on the choices he made and the lessons he learned. His hard-earned wisdom is now a gift he wishes to pass to his first-born (and only) child: his son, Khalil.
This book of poetry is now a collaborative artwork, filled cover-to-cover with hand-painted, full-page illustrations. It tells the story of his journey in metaphor, using the myths of ancient Sumer, the legend of Gilgamesh, the legacy of his tribal ancestors, and the unfolding story of his family in modern day.
