About this book
In Bracken Ford, an escaped ostrich, a runaway dog, and a hissing gas regulator leave a teenager missing — and a town with a story that grows more certain every year.
Ten years later, Eli is asked to make that story the centerpiece of a public trail. The project could genuinely help the town. Its most useful fundraising story is also wrong.
No Further Claims is a deadpan small-town novel about civic paperwork, private memories, public myths, and what happens when an absurd local story becomes useful enough that nobody wants to correct it.
Four illustrated narrative sequences use Pictiq, a visual language built from pictographic symbols.
