| As written and painted by Twingley, this beautifully illustrated semi-autobiographical novel--set in a small town nestled in the badlands of North Dakota--paints a loving portrait of oddball characters, outcasts, and the oft-ignored. |

Annotation:
Jonathan Twingley's self-illustrated debut novel, BADLANDS SALOON, tracks the evolution of Oliver Clay. Now that he's escaped the jaws of New York art-school, Ollie spends most of his days ambling around the wide open spaces of North Dakota--always with his brushes, paints, and sketchpad--and inevitably ends up back at the Badlands Saloon at the end of the day. Populated by colorful regulars, this bar becomes his home away from home during a summer that seems to mundane to be all that important, but ends up changing his life forever.
