SUMMARY:Jim Ruland 2026
DESCRIPTION:Image The Book Catapult proudly welcomes our pal Jim Ruland f
 or the release of his new novel\, Mightier Than the Sword on Friday\, No

 et)\, Adrian Van Young (author of the novel Rough Beast)\, Tammy Greenwo
 od (author of the novel Everything Has Happened)\, and Molly McCloy (aut
 hor of the new memoir Nine Grudges: The Spiteful Origins of the Happiest
  Dyke on Earth.) What do a gambler\, a poet\, a punk\, and a writer of w
 esterns have in common? Four college professors embark on a crime spree 
 in Northern Arizona in 1993. They start by robbing an off-campus booksto
 re\, but when things don't go as planned\, the book bandits are drawn in
 to a bigger\, bolder caper involving corrupt university officials\, drug
 -dealing frat boys\, Navajo ex-cons\, and a mysterious golden pen. Steep
 ed in the lore of the West\, Mightier Than the Sword is a twisty\, pulp 
 take on the dirtiest job of them all: working as a part-time professor i
 n a college town. San Diego's Jim Ruland is the author of the novel Make
  It Stop\, Corporate Rock Sucks: The Rise and Fall of SST Records\, co-a
 uthor of Do What You Want with Bad Religion\, and My Damage with Keith M
