Rescue Me
Chelsea Andrews can't decide who's more dangerous; the creep on the Toronto city bus, or the handsome stranger who rescues her. She doesn't hang around to find out. Fate intervenes when out of work actor Matt Malone sublets the apartment next door, and Chelsea discovers the most dangerous thing about her charming new neighbor is the damage he's inflicting on her heart. She's had enough of men like Matt; her father was a philandering charmer who left devastation in his wake. But the more she gets to know Matt, the more she realizes he's not like her father at all.
Success has eluded Matt's acting career. His family is pressuring him to give up acting and work full-time as a chef at the family business, Malone's Irish Pub. Matt likes to cook but acting is his passion. He's nearly thirty now, and meeting Chelsea makes him think of settling down. Should he give up his dreams for love's sake?
Chelsea is starting to believe she can trust Matt with her heart when strange romantic notes begin showing up at the art gallery where she works. Then she's followed home from the bus stop late one night, and her apartment is broken into. All the evidence points to Matt as the culprit. Is he the kind, funny, sincere man she's falling in love with, or some kind of stalker? Will the real Matt Malone please stand up?

Let's Get Serious (Let's Get Funny Fiction)
What should you do when your boyfriend wants to propose live on air? Should you a) confess up front that you're already married before the cameras are in your face and risk losing him, because you never meant to lie but you never mentioned it either. On the other hand, b) try to avoid being alone with him (ever again) so that he will not get the opportunity to ambush you with a surprise engagement ring. Or c) play along with it and accept his offer of marriage and that leaves option d) which stands for divorce, which is what you should have done ages ago seeing as it's been five long years since you've actually seen your husband in the flesh. Speaking about the absent husband, just to complicate matters even further begs the question. Did they have to make a pact to hook up again five years down the line and get back together for good, if neither of them had found happiness with another person by then?
And this is the problem that Faye Allen faces on the programme where she works, while the TV presenter is busy trying to make her own mark on telly so that she can fulfil her ambitions and one day host her own show. Only a scandal like this could sink her career boat that was sailing along quite nicely, until this happened to scupper her dreams. As it is decided, that the best course of action to take in this situation is to head off to Gibraltar to get it all sorted and Faye has a close encounter with a monkey for all her troubles and it would not be for the first time. So read this funny fiction in order to find out how Faye handles having a fiance and a famous husband plus a demanding workload all at once, which ends up crossing the line right over into every single part of her life and completely wrecks havoc all-round as a result.
This is a British comedy romance, short novel that is approximately 51,000 words in length.

Dirty Barry
The first casualty of adultery is ... the tooth!
Nuance... subtlety... subtext?
Nah, wrong author, pal. This is Scotland, not Narnia.
There's a bad guy - you won't like him at all (the clue's in the title) and he gets what's coming to him.
The fun is watching the comedy and misunderstandings that lead up to it... and the cast of characters who inhabit the story.
Meet CULLEN. An offbeat loner with a highly individual sense of right and wrong.
Barry Sullivan is a sordid dentist who resorts to blackmail to keep his string of married women compliant. But now Cullen has toothache - and a very different interpretation of the dental code of practice.
The Tartan Hiaasen strikes again with another tale which roars along - and which will have you roaring along with it.

MY SHIT LIFE SO FAR: 'I don't think anyone can have written an autobiography without at some point thinking "Why would anyone want to know this shit?" I've always read them thinking "I don't want to know where Steve Tyler grew up, just tell me how many groupies he f**ked!"'

The Billionaire Bargain
Sexy Australian billionaire Grant Devlin is ruining my life. He exercises shirtless in his office, is notorious for his lunchtime hook-ups, he even yawns sexily. If I didn't need this job so bad, I'd take his black Amex and tell him where to swipe it.
He doesn't even know I exist, but why would he? He jets off to Paris with supermodels, I spend Friday nights with Netflix and a chunk of Pepperidge Farm frozen cake--waiting for his call. Because every time he crashes his yacht, or blows $500k on a single roulette spin in Monte Carlo, I'm the PR girl who has to clean up his mess.
But this time, it's going to take more than just a fat charity donation. This time, the whole company is on the line. He needs to show investors that he's settling down, and Step #1 is pretending to date a nice, stable girl until people forget about what happened with the Playboy Bunnies backstage at the Oscars.
My plan is perfect, except for one thing:
He picks me.

The Dark Lake (FREE PREVIEW - Prologue and First Five Chapters) (Gemma Woodstock Book 1)
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Helvetica} span.s1 {font-kerning: none} A tight-knit community is shocked by revelations from decades past in this "enthralling" (Associated Press) literary mystery that "will keep you racing toward the end" (Lisa Gardner).
The lead homicide investigator in a rural town, Detective Sergeant Gemma Woodstock is deeply unnerved when a high school classmate is found strangled, her body floating in a lake. And not just any classmate, but Rosalind Ryan, whose beauty and inscrutability exerted a magnetic pull on Smithson High School, first during Rosalind's student years and then again when she returned to teach drama.
As much as Rosalind's life was a mystery to Gemma when they were students together, her death presents even more of a puzzle. What made Rosalind quit her teaching job in Sydney and return to her hometown? Why did she live in a small, run-down apartment when her father was one of the town's richest men? And despite her many admirers, did anyone in the town truly know her?
Rosalind's enigmas frustrate and obsess Gemma, who has her own dangerous secrets--an affair with her colleague and past tragedies that may not stay in the past. Brilliantly rendered, THE DARK LAKE has characters as compelling and mysteries as layered as the best thrillers from Gillian Flynn and Sophie Hannah.

When her father asks her to visit her aunt in Ohio as her last dying wish, Jen is immediately resistant, but reconsiders when her father makes her an offer she can't refuse.

Amidst a country backdrop, Jen discovers feelings and experiences no city girl is prepared for. As the summer unfolds, she finds herself questioning everything.

Sweet romance with a twist!
Jennifer Berkley is a straightforward, ambitious, soon-to-be lawyer in the fast, driven city of New York. She doesn't have the patience or time to deal with people who can't or won't give her what she wants. When her father asks her to visit her aunt in Ohio as her last dying wish, Jen is immediately resistant, but reconsiders when her father makes her an offer she can't refuse.
Jen finds Ohio a much different pace than New York, and is beginning to enjoy country life when she meets Zack LaFaye, a good-looking, helpful man who is adored by her aunt. Each encounter with him leaves Jen flustered and annoyed. The question is glaring: does she have feelings for him, or does she hate him so much that she can't decide?
Amidst a country backdrop, Jen discovers feelings and experiences no city girl is prepared for. As the summer unfolds, she finds herself questioning everything. Using her skill and training as a lawyer, Jen uncovers a trail of deceit she didn't see coming. With a vengeance, she is determined to find out the truth. Someone is lying to her, but who?
Love Finds You is a clean romance novel full of charming intrigue, with twists, turns, love, romance and drama that will leave you breathless as Jen must decipher her feelings, and the truth.

(Not So) Good in a Room (California Dreamers Romantic Comedy Series Book 1)
She's not the kind of girl he can take home to daddy.
(NOT SO) GOOD IN A ROOM, a romantic comedy novella, is a modern reimagining of Cyrano de Bergerac.
Awkward screenwriter Nellie Berg is great with words, as long as she can write them down. She's written over thirty action scripts, but has been unable to sell a single one to Hollywood. Instead of working the room, every time Nellie tries to pitch her scripts to producers she becomes overcome with anxiety and completely blanks out.
When Nellie meets another aspiring screenwriter, Roscoe Rhodes, at Pitchfestapalooza they form an unlikely friendship. Roscoe is everything Nellie is not: outgoing, witty, charming...and good in a room. Roscoe suggests that Nellie hire his cousin, Chris, an unemployed actor to pitch her scripts to producers.
Things get complicated when Nellie falls for Chris and she seeks Roscoe's help to seal the deal. Roscoe realizes he actually has feelings for Nellie. And Hollywood falls in love with the hot the new pretend screenwriter, who has never even read an entire script let alone written one.
WARNING: This book contains foul language, sexual innuendo and a little bit of hanky-panky. Buyer beware.

Summer at the Comfort Food Cafe
The brand new book from bestselling author Debbie Johnson will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you raid the pantry in the middle of the night... The Comfort Food Cafe is perched on a windswept clifftop at what feels like the edge of the world, serving up the most delicious cream teas; beautifully baked breads, and carefully crafted cupcakes. For tourists and locals alike, the ramshackle cafe overlooking the beach is a beacon of laughter, companionship, and security - a place like no other; a place that offers friendship as a daily special, and where a hearty welcome is always on the menu. For widowed mum-of-two Laura Walker, the decision to uproot her teenaged children and make the trek from Manchester to Dorset for the summer isn't one she takes lightly, and it's certainly not winning her any awards from her kids, Nate and Lizzie. Even her own parents think she's gone mad. Product Information:o ISBN: 9780008150259 o Author: Debbie Johnsono Publisher: Harper Impulseo Format: Paperbacko Pages: 347o Dimensions: 20 x 13 x 2.5cm

Only Forty More Years
This intellectually funny, and easy to relate to, fictional work with dramatic undertones is a first-person story that centers around the humorously skeptical recent college graduate, Sean Bronson, as he lands his first "real" job and learns to navigate the treacherous waters of corporate America - beginning to realize that incompetence and underhandedness abound in every corner and that office life can often be anything but professional. The story is set in the headquarters of a multi-billion dollar home furnishing company located in the modern day suburban landscape of Long Island, New York.
The story begins as the sarcastically precocious, yet introspective, Sean is waiting his last table at a depressing, dream-graveyard type of a restaurant and decides that he needs to move out of his parent's house and in order to do that he needs to search for a career. We follow him as he engages himself in his first career oriented interview with the profit-hungry home retail giant known as "Cool Collectibles." We meet a wide cast of characters in the workplace that show Sean that people who have a profession are not always behaviorally professional. We also encounter Karen and Bessie, two love interests of Sean's who each represent, in different ways, the hardships of establishing that highly coveted ideal of a work-life balance. The tone of the book starts off as being humorous but then transitions into a more grave matters such as workplace romances (and failures) as well as employee resignations and tumultuous performance reviews. His dream of moving into a place of his own is also stymied when he quickly realizes that "rookie-pay" does not go very far in New York.
This book artfully infuses comedy and interpersonal drama into the highly relatable "chore" of embarking on a new career.
A must-read for anyone who works in an office, or is planning to, as it will make you feel much better about your life.

A Beginners Guide to Criminality: how to be a successful villain
So you're thinking of converting to a life of crime; contemplating turning your back on society and normality for an alternative vocation; giving serious consideration to saying "t'hell with the laws of the land!" and "I'm going out to take what's not rightfully mine!"?
Who can blame you! In these times of high unemployment, low wages, austerity cuts, increased cost of living and social decay (not to mention a faltering judicial system) why wouldn't you consider a slightly unorthodox profession? After all, the latest games consoles, interactive TV's and new cars don't come cheap - not to mention booze and cigarettes!
Maybe you've tried the conventional Monday to Friday, nine to five existence and decided that lifestyle just isn't for you. Perhaps you've never worked a day in your life and criminality comes naturally to your clan and as such a life of crime is your destiny - upholding the proud family name.
Venturing down the criminal path is not a decision to be taken lightly though; there are many factors you must consider in advance if you want to make the most of your villainous plans. This short guide will provide all you need to know about crossing over to the dark side and setting off on your journey of self-discovery and debauchery as you pillage and plunder your way up the criminal ladder from petty thief, to powerful crime lord.

Buster McGavin’s Wonderful World of Golf: A Book of Revelations
I am a ghost writer.
I died of pneumonia in Bedford, Massachusetts at the age of eighty-eight.
As a young man, I was a phenomenal golfer playing at the highest levels of amateur competition. I had a big, modern swing; but I always cut a traditionalist's figure. My self-effacing, uncomplaining manner, my chesty stride, my clothes, even my tripartite name seemed a thing of the pastoral, perhaps English, past. Tweed, of course, was my preferred fabric. I once showed up on a course in all-tweed, including tweed knickers and a tweed cap. It was the middle of July.
I described the game with an avant-garde style that has since been imitated, but never duplicated.
Subjects I covered as a professional columnist included tennis, writers, politicians, and social figures. I was the ghostwriter of several books, mostly about golf.
I was just crazy about golf; I was a great historian of the game and--if I do say so myself-- a terrific writer. I wrote longhand and in pencil. In Heaven we use only Macs. It took me a long time to learn how to type. So now I dictate.
I was acute on the complexities of the game and on the characters of the players. I was, in spirit, prelapsarian--uninterested in the issues of money, endorsements, or scandal of any kind. If I had a hero in golf, and even in life, it was certainly Bobby Jones, who won thirteen major championships as an amateur between 1923 and 1930 and then went on to help design the ne plus ultra of American golf courses: Augusta National, the site of the Masters. Jones was an educated athlete, a lawyer, a writer, and a reader, and we quickly became friends talking about books and the intricacies of golf. I learned a great deal from Bobby. About three days before Bobby's death, when I knew he was dying, I said to the members of his family: 'If this is all there is to it, it sure is peaceful."
Well, Hell's bells! It's far from peaceful in Heaven! Actually, Heaven is much like Earth: greed, corruption, sexual abuse, humiliation, hypocrisy, scams, and plenty of violence. Except you can do just about anything you want here--within the Heavenly guidelines. I decided to write my own book of golf instruction.
During my coverage of the 1958 Masters, I was searching for an appropriate name for that far corner of the course where the critical action takes place -- some colorful tag like those that Grantland Rice and his contemporaries loved to devise: the Four Horsemen, the Manassa Mauler, the House that Ruth Built, the Georgia Peach, and so on. A lover of jazz, I recalled an old tune entitled "Shouting in the Amen Corner."
Now that I am in Heaven, I have been assured by The Great Greenskeeper that my writing, like the greatest game ever played, will live forever.

They Win. You Lose.: Sex, Violence & Songs from the Shows (The Implosion Saga (Book 1))
They Win. You Lose. By Stan Arnold
Sex, Violence and Songs from the Shows.
They Win. You Lose. is the first book of The Implosion Saga. It's a very funny thriller. Mick and Jim are two incompetent, Soho-based, corporate video producers. They drink too much and don't earn enough.
So when the Mafia come calling, demanding back rent of ?6,000, they have ten minutes to do a runner. All they have is an old Morris Traveller (a Woodie, if you're in the US) and a tank full of petrol.
Their sudden flight takes them to the sex trade in Southsea, out-of-body experiences, horrendous amateur dramatics, Death Metal pubs, foul-mouthed, 80-year-old punk grannies and hit men dressed in pink Mexican outfits.
Under constant threat from enforcers, they get offered a mystery job in Las Vegas. When they arrive, six Reservoir Dogs' lookalikes are waiting for them. They make their escape using the world's most mercenary taxi driver.
During the next 24 hours, they chicken out a freight train, walk six moonlit miles across the desert with cactus-punctured groins, find out what badly manufactured LSD can do to you, avoid Thelma and Louise suicide-a-likes, have sex with Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, make a commitment in front of a Bourbon-fuelled Elvis at Big Derek's Gay Marriage Emporium and blow up a Harley Davidson. The final showdown takes place with the mafia boss in the world's most unspeakably lurid theatrical environment. A very neat twist propels them from sudden death into a totally different way of life.

Risking it All: The Rosewoods - A Short Story
Things are not going well for Brady Fleming, Rosewood equestrian coach and Olympic hopeful. Thanks to a careless fall off his horse, he is now on crutches - out of training and a job. Not to mention he's had to promise Brooklyn he'll back off so they could be just friends, which is the last thing he wants. The worst part is he knows she's into him too; she's as much as admitted it. And that kiss... There is no denying their chemistry after that kiss at the costume dance. But he can't date a student and he balked when she asked him if he was willing to risk it all to be with her. Now that his job and training are on hold, his outlook has changed and he's beginning to realize what really matters and what he wants from his life.
Maybe that girl who showed up on campus and turned his heart inside out is worth risking everything for after all.
Read Risking it All, a short story from Brady's perspective, in preparation for Making Ripples, The Rosewoods book 6.

With pressure from his father and U.S. Senator, Philip enters a chaotic job market, spending months looking for work until he finally lands a job at a local branch for a major bank. Dealing with psychotic customers and impossible sales goals, Philip is eventually fired due to his poor sales performance. But after accidentally uncovering a Ponzi scheme, Philp is rehired and is thrust into the world of corporate finance, getting promoted to work in New York City.
It is there Philip meets the bank's egocentric and charismatic CEO Walter Kalman, who is stopping at nothing to take his bank into a new era of high finance, even if it means setting the world of Wall Street on fire. Getting accustomed to the glitz and glamour of working on Wall Street, Philip feels like he has finally done something with his life. But after the financial crisis unfolds, he realizes not everything is what it seems, and is caught in the middle of Walter Kalman's ambitions and the complexity of dating two women, a naive coffee shop owner and a power hungry investment banker who will do what it takes to move up the corporate ladder.

The Ghostly Ghastlys Book 1: FINDING A HOME (The Ghostly Ghastlys Series)
The Ghastly family are ghosts. They live in the castle above the town. Other ghosts live there too, because it is a haunted castle. Mr and Mrs Ghastly are singers and always busy with rehearsals and performances, so the little Ghastlys often do what they like.
What they like doing is to make the visitors scream. The little Ghastlys are very good at playing tricks, and people love to come and be frightened. But the other castle ghosts are mean and don't like that the little Ghastlys are more popular than them.
When the ghost children play tricks on the other ghosts, the Ghastly family is thrown out of the castle.
Finding a new home isn't easy. There is something wrong with everywhere they go: too shiny, too narrow, too open, too modern, too many people. At last they discover an old museum that hasn't been open for years. It seems ideal, but could other ghosts are already living there? If so, how will they get on with the mischievous little Ghastlys?
This is the first book in a new series called The Ghostly Ghastlys. The next book is called Branwing and Book 3 is Alfonso. Follow the adventures of the little Ghastlys and their friends.

Taking Off
A few years after graduating college, Ty was fed up with "working" and "acting responsibly like every other adult is expected to," and chose instead to quit his job and backpack across Europe and Asia. Taking Off is the mostly true memoir of his trip.
Yes, this may come as a shock, but a twenty-something wrote about his experiences travelling. Kind of like when Ashley from HR sent you the link to her vacation blog. The differences being that this book is longer, has less pictures of Ashley in a bikini, and gives you no real obligation to read it since you'll never bump into Ty in the break room where he'll ask you how you liked it. But regardless of obligation, you can still appreciate this book, as it consists of several humorous, interesting, and worthwhile anecdotes that are way more interesting than anything that self-absorbed narcissist Ashley could ever write.
This book is completely, 100% free. So if you're interested, give it a read. If you like it, tell a friend about how good it was. If you don't like it, lie to an enemy about how good it was. Either way, make sure to flaunt the book's completion to someone. You're literate for God's sake, and the contemptible people with whom you surround yourself need to be made aware of your superiority.

How To Keep Sparkly Emo Vampires Off Your Lawn
Back in the day, we never had a problem with these pesky sparkly vampires. Oh, we would get an occasional deer in the yard, or a squirrel, or even a raccoon, but never vampires. It was a peaceful, quiet little town in the Pacific Northwest called Spoon. We never caused anyone any trouble and they left us well enough alone.
But those days are gone. Now these emo vampires are everywhere. Not to mention those dang waxing werewolves. It's getting to the point where you can't even have a beer in the backyard without some blood sucking freak moping about.

Fifty Shades of Neigh - A parody
They say money is a great aphrodisiac, but are there really enough billions in the world to mitigate the many flaws of a man who wears DON'T FRIENDZONE ME t-shirts and thinks all you have to do to acquire old-school, film noir charm is to pop on a fedora and call all women toots?
Can enough money exist to take the edge off a man like Crispian Neigh, a doughy internet billionaire of uncertain provenance and even less certain weight? Is he doomed to be Forever Alone, or is there a woman in the world who can see the man behind the billions, and forgive his habit of drawing busty dwarf erotica based on World of Warcraft characters?
Step forward Hanna Squeal - literature student and insurance risk, a self-proclaimed intellectual so alarmingly dim that she thinks Camus is a chickpea-based dip flavoured with garlic.
When Hanna stumbles, glissades and finally faceplants in front of him, Crispian Neigh is enraptured by her beauty, her implausible innocence and her shatteringly low self-esteem.
Cue several hundred pages of poorly-written, repetitive 'kinky' sex. Flogging, whipping, fisting, anal intercourse and things that would give even James Joyce cause to pause - none of these things happen in this book. Due to a sheltered girlhood (I'm not kidding - she's never even leaned up against the washing machine on the spin cycle.) Hanna doesn't even know the difference between an orgasm and a sneeze.
Also he's got that thing that hasn't quite cleared up yet.
But when Crispian makes Hanna an offer she can't refuse (Severed horse heads a very real possibility.) she is determined to forge on with the relationship in spite of the objections of her stoner friend Kate, her polyamorous Etsy addict mother and the rude retorts of her spiteful Inner Goddess.
Can Hanna change him? (No) Can she turn him into the kind of boyfriend she's always wanted? (Nope) And can she get over his deepest, darkest, pinkest secret and bring herself to love and tolerate My Little Brony? (Probably not - not if we want to wring a sequel out of this thing.)

Cool as a Cucumber (The Absurd Tales of Mr Griffs Book 2)
When there's a cockroach outbreak in the town of Cornville, only one man is as cool as a cucumber.
Mr Griffs isn't at all fazed by the cockroaches - not when he has a garden full of cucumbers. When news of his alternative remedy gets out, Mr Griffs is faced with an angry mob. Led by Steve Moran, Mr Griffs' arch nemesis, the cucumber thieves will stop at nothing to get what they want. Mr Griffs is forced to put aside his scientific research on wild bush turkeys and must do whatever is necessary to protect his flowerbeds, his garden, his house and his friends. Even if it means teaching Steve a lesson or two and setting the local council straight.
'Yes, the rumours are true. I do have home grown cucumbers and their skins deter cockroaches. They're also quite delicious, if I do say so myself. You can pickle them, put them in salads or even just eat them whole.'

Led by Steve Moran, Mr Griffs' arch nemesis, the cucumber thieves will stop at nothing to get what they want. Mr Griffs is forced to put aside his scientific research on wild bush turkeys and must do whatever is necessary to protect his flowerbeds, his garden, his house and his friends. Even if it means teaching Steve a lesson or two and setting the local council straight.

Mastering the Real Paleo Diet: All You Can Eat Meat, and All You Can Handle Health and Leanness
"Be Perfect. Be Pure. Be Paleo."
Let's face it, modern humans are sick, fat, and pathetic. If only we could go back in time to the Stone Age when men were virile and strong, and women were free of menstrual cramps and birthed babies while carrying wild game on their backs. But wait, maybe we can! In his latest and most accessible book, Mastering the Real Paleo Diet, Dr. Willy Mammoth lays out the foundations for perfect health. It's simple, really. We just need to go back in time!
Evil Grains, Poisonous Dairy, and Deadly Agriculture
So if our ancestors were so healthy, happy, and strong, what the hell happened to us as a species? The answer is that we started eating all the wrong foods. Who cares if we've been eating grains and dairy for thousands of years--we never should have gone down that treacherous path in the first place. Cancer, heart disease, PMS, erectile dysfunction...it's a wonder we have even survived this long eating bread and cow milk. But survive we did, and now there is only one way back to health: Turn back! Be wild! Be free!
If You're Sitting on a Chair at a Computer, Then You Desperately Need This Book
Our Paleolithic ancestors had perfect posture and could have leaped tall buildings in a single bound (you know, if buildings had existed back then), and they didn't have computers, chairs, or cell phones. Obviously, this is why they enjoyed perfect health. After all, the paleo diet is not just a diet--it's a lifestyle. This book will help you to stop being so sick, sad, and sloppy with lifestyle recommendations that will change your life. You'll learn why it's essential to get out of that chair and start squatting today!

SEX, BOTOX AND BLING (ONE Book 1)
Most of us have gone through periods of excitement and trauma in our lives which other people are unaware of. Perhaps they would be shocked if they knew, perhaps not?
This is the story of a group of lady friends of a certain age from a certain county in England who are fighting to hold back the ravages of time, by whatever means they can and for however long they can, each of them still wanting to be loved and needed and, to a certain extent, to show that they still have something to offer. From the outside they appear to have everything - money, family, lovely homes, endless holidays, plenty of free leisure time. But what has it taken for each of them to get there? How many times have they had to compromise along the way? Each of these ladies has at least one secret to share; each of these ladies has a past.
The friends meet up for a birthday lunch and it is in the restaurant that their stories begin to unfold. It is in the restaurant that we discover who they really are and whether we can identify with them or not. Do they inspire compassion, do we like them or are they simply shallow figures of fun? Their stories begin to unfold but there is much more to come .......

The Fault In Our Arse: A The Fault In Our Stars Parody
Connor Stodge is a normal 19 year old American, with abnormal bowel problems and a best friend called Quentin who is a bag full of spare pants and laxatives, who just sort of looks like a Quentin.
Connor's existence is a painful and disgusting one until he meets similarly-afflicted heartthrob September Loose, and his world is flushed with change. Pun intended.
Together the pair travel to the only restaurant in Paris, bother a recluse they have no business contacting, and learn the truth about love, life, spicy food, cucumbers and portion control.
The Fault In Our Arse is a tongue-in-cheek parody of the #1 New York times Bestseller, The Fault In Our Stars.

The secret diary of Barry Surreal
Despite being fictional, Barry Surreal's life has been a series of random non-linear events that may or may not be connected. This diary was found in a metal mop bucket with wheels on outside the School Janitor's cupboard over eight years ago and now for the first time ever, I (Kevin Spangles) can reveal the secrets behind Barry's St. Evander's School Orchestra musician of the year award preparations, the day he managed to get the top off a highlighter pen in a partially-haunted cupboard and the adventure(s) he had in the tunnel under the all-weather pitch (apart from the last two).
All the facts in this book are not facts and any resemblance the characters bear to people alive or living is purely intercontinental. Barry attended St. Evander's between the twentieth and thirtieth centuries and excelled in many subjects including but not limited to dinner time and playtime. His favourite food was Orange (the colour, not the fruit) and his favourite pastime was indolence.
"Hilarious" - The Daily Cardigan
"I laughed for minutes (not at this book)" - St. Evander's School Librarian
"More thrills than a broken roller coaster, more spills than a nervous man carrying a cup full of coffee" - The Thirtean Times

Benjamin Byrde, Traveller Extraordinaire: Round One - Berkshire to Istanbul
In BENJAMIN BYRDE, Traveller Extraordinaire we follow the fate of a peculiar man who decides to relinquish his property, money and clothes, before setting off around the world, relying solely on the kindness and generosity of strangers. While several of his benefactors are indeed very strange, none are more eccentric than Mr Byrde himself, whose tales stretch even the most malleable imagination.
This first volume of unique travel memoirs transports us from leafy Berkshire to sultry Istanbul and gives us a blow-by-blow account of his varying fortunes along the way. Ever the optimist, Benjamin tackles every obstacle with his customary zeal, and the fifty-seven-year-old displays great powers of self-preservation, despite never having worked due to his singular way of seeing the world.
England, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and a bit of Turkey are the countries he visits, and Benjamin's 'Byrde's-eye view' of Europe is like no other ever published in our time.

Mr. Bond was the type of British gentleman who enjoyed the best. Yet now he was not wearing a playboy's smoking jacket. He was trapped in an ornate silk straight jacket. There was no Swedish masseuse or nubile protege to rescue him from his boredom. This was all too real. The dapper hero of the world was imprisoned in a mental hospital being interviewed by his Oriental physician. "Tell me all about your love life," the doctor demanded with dry humor.

What Men Do to Women: A Book of Revelations
I am a ghost writer.
In life, I was a "radical lesbian feminist."
I was one of the leading voices of the feminist and Women's Rights movement of the Twentieth Century. The work that I started is still being carried out today by the millions of feminists I inspired over the years.
I broke new ground by exploring the idea of women finding personal fulfillment outside of their traditional roles. I helped advance the Women's Rights movement. As an icon in the Women's Rights movement, I did more than write about confining gender stereotypes--I became a force for change. I fought for abortion rights. I wanted women to have a greater role in the political process.
In 1999, I left Tammany College after a male student dressed as a woman threatened suit when I denied "her" a place in my class on Feminist Ethics. I had long limited enrollment in my Advanced Women's Studies classes to birthed women only maintaining that the presence of men there would inhibit frank discussion.
You know how I feel about men who attempt to become women without having the experience of growing up and suffering as women all their lives.
You know my credentials: Before obtaining my two doctorates in Sacred Theology and Existential Phenomenology from Olinger University, I received my B.A. with honors in English from Our Lady of the Flowers Seminary, my M.A. in Philosophy from The Papal College of Saints in Rome, and my D.Litt. in Renaissance Literature [in the first column] from Hudson University.
I taught classes at Olinger University from 1977 to 2009 including classes in feminist theology, feminist ethics, and deplorable patriarchy.
In Meditations on Radical Feminism (1988), I showed how men throughout history have used, oppressed, brutalized, vandalized, humiliated, tortured, raped, beaten, castrated, murdered, stoned, mutilated, and beheaded women. I moved beyond my previous thoughts on the history of patriarchy to focus on the actual practices that, in my view, perpetuate patriarchy--which I consider a horrific, disorganized religion.
My Pure Heat: Elemental Sexual Philosophy (1999) introduced and explored an alternative language to explain the processes of exorcism, witchcraft, and ecstasy. I provided definitions as well as chants to be used by women to free themselves from patriarchal oppression. I also explored the labels that patriarchal society places on women to prolong what I see as the male domination of society. You may remember I said that it is the role of women to reject the debilitating labels such as "hag," "witch," "bitch," "bag lady," "whore," "fat," "dumb," and "lunatic." And I described in great detail my conversations with aZazelo, the Moon Goddess.
I define patriarchy as "a society manufactured and controlled by males"--The Fatherland. A society in which every legitimate institution is entirely in the hands of males and a few selected henchwomen. A society that is characterized by oppression, repression, depression, narcissism, cruelty, racism, classism, ageism, speciesism, objectification, sadomasochism, necrophilia, and the rest--a joyless society ruled by the Godfather, the Son, and the Roly Poly Ghost; a society fixated on proliferation, purgation, and perversion--bent on the destruction of all life.
We live in a profoundly anti-female society, a misogynistic "civilization" in which men collectively victimize women, attacking us as personifications of their own paranoid fears, as The Enemy. Within this society it is men who rape, who sap women's energy, who deny women economic and political power.
I hate them.

Mr. Bond and the Rapturous Reward (Scott F Neve's Prequels, Sequels and Parodies Book 8)
Short Story Satire!
A mysterious Dragon Queen had placed a contract on the hide of Mr. Bond. She demanded that he be delivered to her alive. The only stipulation was that the bounty would only be paid to a female.
Suddenly every girl that the infamous spy had ever bedded came out of their closets of solitude. Each nation had lethal vixens with a bone to pick with Dear James. And each Bond girl was overly eager to collect the fortune and fame of bagging the prodigious lover. The bodacious bounty hunters hunted him down like the dog that he was.
Bond grew weary of being the prey of a Women Only safari that covered every continent. All run and no play was making James a dull witted boy. Besides, fleeing from gorgeous women was unnatural for him. Finally he allowed himself to be captured.

Bond grew weary of being the prey of a Women Only safari that covered every continent. All run and no play was making James a dull witted boy. Besides, fleeing from gorgeous women was unnatural for him. Finally he allowed himself to be captured.

Who Is the Community Zionist?: A Book of Revelations
I am a ghost writer.
I died on July 25, 2016, in a hospital in San Diego, California after suffering from a stroke, age 90.
On the eve of my death, ministry partners, fans, and friends urgently asked for prayers on social media, offering a wave of early tributes that spread through end-times prophecy circles and chapters of Concerned Feminists for America (CFA), the 800,000-member public policy organization founded by my wife. Some circulated a statement by my son: "He will not recover from this, he will soon be graduated to Heaven."
And I did graduate to Heaven. But Heaven is not what I expected it to be.
We have gambling casinos here. You always win. We have rigged elections. You always win. There's a Megachurch anybody can join. Donations flow in. For people who like golf, there is a championship golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones. There is never any wait. Gourmet specialties are cooked to your order and served at any time of the day or night. And you never gain weight--no matter how much sugar-sweetened soft drinks, pasta, or fatty deep fried foods you eat. But if you just want to chill out and loaf and listen to music, why, that's all right, too.
In life, I believed with all my heart that the return of Jesus was imminent.
I was a harsh critic of the Community, which I considered a false religion. The Community is more dangerous than no religion because the Community substitutes religion for truth. In the history of the Community, the Boss has been the archpriest of Satan, a deceiver, and an antichrist, who has, like Judas, gone to his own very special reward.
Before I died, I prophesied mass slaughters and the end of the world. In the recent vicious hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and fires, in the widespread violence of state-supported terrorism and terrorism by lone wolfs and nut cases, I find my prophesy coming true. It is The Apocalypse Now! From where I sit here in Heaven, I can tell you that God is behind all of the insanity in your mad, mad, mad, mad world--and She's mad as hell!
Sinners, it is not too late to repent and mend your ways!
The arms sales, the wars, the virulent language, the sexual abuse, the human trafficking, the hypocrisy, the vicious Patriarchy, and the rest MUST END NOW!
You are living in the time of the Community Zionist.
In life, I was a prolific author. I wrote 1,084 books (first in the Guinness Book of Records), both fiction and non-fiction. Of course, I really didn't write them. A KNOW ANGEL, working directly for God, infused with God's Holy Spirit, used me to create God's Books of Revelations.

Newcastle United's Greatest Ever Games
If you've supported Newcastle United long enough you will have experienced every single emotion that it is possible for a human being to feel. You'll know how it feels to win 8-0 despite being bottom of the league and you'll know the delight of winning a game at Highbury, outplaying the opposition in the process. However, you'll also know the desolation of losing 7-3 with a team of 11 supposed internationals, the pain that is seeing Frank Pingel introduced as a second half substitute because he is better than what's already out there and you'll wince at the names of Graeme Fenton and Ronnie Radford which will tap directly into your nervous system and cause at least one, if not all, of your limbs to spasm. You'll have seen goals to grace the Maracana and mistakes to grace You've Been Framed. You'll have seen players from both ends of the spectrum on the same pitch at the same time and wonder how a player like Alan Shearer could have been in a position where he'd been asked to interact in some way with Albert Luque, Des Hamilton and Silvio Maric for the greater good. So come with me now as we take a look at some of the greatest and not-so-great games in this wonderful clubs glittering history."

The Premier League's Worst Ever Players
Did Francis Jeffers ever keep you awake at night? Did you slap yourself in the face each time you witnessed an Eric Djemba-Djemba attack-splitting pass? Did Titus Bramble cause you to eat your match programme in frustration? Then this is the book you've been waiting for. Relive all your least favourite Premier League moments by taking a journey back through the maze of frustration, disillusionment and failure that is the Premier League's worst ever players. Grimace, wince and sob as you take a trip down the derelict end of memory lane, through a history of the Premier League's most inept, incompetent, overpaid and under-talented exponents of the beautiful game. Players who looked terrified whenever the ball came within twenty yards of them, players who would struggle to make the bench for their son's under-7's team and players who surprised you by managing to make it onto the field wearing the correct strip. If you've ever watched a Premier League player and wondered how they managed to turn professional and you didn't, if you were left speechless as they were allowed to continue spreading their misery well into the second half, if they rang Graeme Souness pretending to be George Weah's cousin or if they left you dumbfounded at the fact they'd managed to convince someone to pay them a wage to represent your hopes and dreams, you'll find them all here.

Work Wife Balance
'This is well-written, very funny and I raced through it, occasionally squealing in horror at the antics of Kate's colleagues. It's also a joy to read about a strong woman with a big job and fiery opinions, a nice antidote to the sugary sweet sort of chick lit.' DAILY MAIL. Kate King is furiously flailing to keep afloat. As her team bicker, finger-point and cheat their way through rumours of sackings and site closures, her ill-tempered husband is becoming increasingly embittered and secretive. Kate knows she must address his petulant question: "Surely there's more to life than this?" but all her energies are required to dodge the corporate bullets constantly fired in her direction. Under pressure from an attractive, younger colleague, Kate is also concerned by her sudden invisibility to the opposite sex and the alarming appearance of back fat. Disturbingly, beige knitwear has started to call to her from the shelves of M&S. Growing more and more suspicious of her husband's activities, pressure builds on Kate both at work and at home until her turbulent year reaches its climactic end. Can she continue to balance precariously between work and marriage, or is one end of the scales going to hit the ground with a resounding thud?

Drive, Ride, Repeat: The Mostly True Account of a Cross-Country Car and Bicycle Adventure
This book is wildly funny. I lost track of how many times I laughed out loud. - Kathleen, Amazon Reviewer Author Al Macy is a character and a tightwad with a unique sense of humor. He and his wife squirreled away enough money to retire early, do interesting things, and take unusual trips. As he puts it: "Every day I wake up with nothing to do, and by the end of the day, I've only gotten half of it done." During his working life, Macy was a neuroscientist, computer game programmer, jazz trombonist, chef, CEO, piano player, clam digger, and technical writer. The book is a journal of a car/bicycle/camping trip from California to St. Louis and back, but Macy promises that "if it starts sounding like one of your brother-in-law's boring slide shows, I will stop this book, and we'll turn around and go home. I mean it." Interspersed with the journal chapters, you'll find thought-provoking life tips, stories from the past, and descriptions of Al's wacky inventions. You'll hear poignant anecdotes about what happened when doctors discovered a golf-ball-sized tumor in his wife's brain and how everything they owned burned. But it's not a downer--trust me!

Your plan is to somehow get the most famous actor in the world, to fall in love with your daughter Victory, who we both love dearly, but - and please don't take offence Sir - who you yourself admit is built generously across the aft, and whose face is unlikely to launch the Dartmouth ferry, let alone a thousand ships..." Victory Shackleford is a spinster, or at least well on the way to becoming one. She is thirty two years old, still lives with her father - an eccentric retired Admiral, and the love of her life is a dog.

Unfortunately there's no one in the picturesque yachting town of Dartmouth that Tory is remotely interested in, despite her father's best efforts. But all that is about to change when she discovers that her madcap father has rented out their house as a location shoot for the biggest blockbuster of the year. As cast and crew descend, Tory's humdrum orderly existence is turned completely upside down, especially as the lead actor has just been voted the sexiest man on the planet...

The Future and Why We Should Avoid It: Killer Robots, the Apocalypse and Other Topics of Mild Concern
The future holds many unknowns: advances in medical technology, increased airport security and critical new inventions like sentient, polygraph-enabled, wireless toasters. Luckily, Maclean's columnist Scott Feschuk has written a survival guide -- part how-to manual, part product guide, part apocalypse analysis and part sardonic observation -- to help us navigate these troubled times. Or at least make us laugh while we try. The Future and Why We Should Avoid It envisions the daunting, depressing era we have to look forward to with the best of Feschuk's musings on aging, death, technology, inventions, health and leisure. Combining quizzes, voiceovers and speeches, and employing snark, innuendo, toilet humor and shameless mockery -- because how else do you cope with the fact that one day you will die? -- Feschuk contemplates the fate of humanity and the planet in the upcoming years, poking fun, provoking thought and dredging up silver linings in even the darkest forecasts.

I know Myra is desperate to secure a leading part in our Christmas production, The Wizard of Oz and she has been scouring eBay for ruby slippers, size 9.

Chez Stinky: Volume 1 (An Alpine Grove Romantic Comedy)
Kat Stevens is a slightly insecure, mostly bored technical writer who likes her cat a lot more than her boss. She hasn't laid eyes on her great aunt Abigail since she was eight, so she's stumped when she inherits Abgail's house in the small hamlet of Alpine Grove. Kat's uncomplicated life gets decidedly less so when she discovers the inheritance comes with some hairy conditions: four dogs and five cats that her aunt wanted her to love as her own. Of course, the house smells like a barn - with a touch of antique skunk - and, naturally, has serious roof issues. And that's before the three-legged cat gets stuck in the wall and the shower goes kablooey. When Kat meets Joel, an unemployed techie type with no love lost for his sister, Kat looks past his obvious flaws, given his timely and desirable skill set: a talent for fixing things (and his own tools). Despite out-of-control dogs, cat fights, dust dinosaurs, massive spiders and an old grizzled hippie passed out in the yard, Kat discovers the tranquility of the forests of Alpine Grove starting to seep into her soul. And why she can't she stop thinking about Joel?
