For more information, visit: www.jollybiscuit.com."I hope people feel a different perspective on life after reading my book," says Howell. "I inject a lot of philosophy and satire into my work. I consider myself an absurdist, which is basically a nihilist with a goofy mustache. My concoctions offer a made-up world so people can be happy and feel free to debate the ideas put forth in my work. I love to engage the reader with humor."

"I've always been creating and making art," says Howell. "In elementary school, I doodled in class and did not take notes. Schoolmates weighed in on how I should develop the characters and storylines. I love consuming and sharing stories, and to express myself in a very visual medium is great for getting certain ideas across."

Howell was discovered by his employer, Pencilmation, an online cartoon channel after it saw his popular Jolly Biscuit comic drawings. He now has storyboards for cartoons geared to children ages 6-12.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

In the late sixties, the world is experiencing a counter-revolution, rebelling against the devastating war in Vietnam and cultural norms.

During these days of rage, the Soviets and U.S. seek to end the nuclear arms race. The Nixon administration promises to support a free trade agreement as a bargaining chip while ignoring Soviet human and religious abuses.

In New York City, a young criminal attorney enters the fray after his shotgun wedding to the Rebbe's daughter. His father-in-law is a world-renowned clandestine leader seeking religious freedom for millions of Soviet citizens. The White House prosecutes the Rebbe as their scapegoat, so the U.S. Soviet trade agreement passes Congress.

The Nixon administration will use every legal tool orchestrated by an unscrupulous U.S. prosecuting attorney to imprison the Rebbe and destroy the credibility of his movement. Millions of lives rest on the outcome of the trial. The world watches, waiting for a courtroom verdict, as two young lovers and an old Rebbe battle two world superpowers.
