50 surprising and varied short stories to entertain and make you wonder...
A few very short extracts...
BREAKING NEWS
I promise you, dear reader, I did not do it on purpose, I am unable to move, but as he got near Lucy, his foot slipped on my shiny and glossy cover as I laid on the floor. As he fell, his head smashed against the coffee table and he lost consciousness. His blood flowed onto the floor. Lucy froze as she looked at the man she had once loved, dying. Rather than call for an ambulance she made herself some strong, sweet tea and sipped it slowly. He was impotent now, unable to carry out any threats. She looked at the reddening of the tweed his jacket was tailored from and she recalled how he had persuaded her father to pay for clothes that he would wear to match the beauty and radiance of his daughter.
DIRTY BOOK
I was one of the few publications that Malcomb had read that did not have pictures of naked women in them...
I was glad when a new bed was bought and I was removed from the premises and given a home on the bookshelf of one of the actresses who had become too old to participate and earned a small living by scrubbing, dusting and washing the place after the films were shot. She found me with the debris from the old bed, took me away and I was able to comfort her in the only way I could; as a book for her to read.
CONFESSIONAL
He had me with him sometimes to fill the gaps between the sinners. His story is somewhat disturbing. There are lots of books in the single book, the Bible. I was an outsider.
When Mary Martin arrived, she was known to the priest, not only from her voice but from seeing her in church. She was young, raven haired, small in stature but big in chest. Alistair looked forward to her visits and when she appeared, he would take his tape recorder out and place it next to the screen where Mary would not see it.
'Oh, Father, I have sinned.' She said nervously.
'And the nature of your sin is what?'
'I am responsible for the deaths of three men this week.'
SWEATING IT OUT
He had undressed with reserve earlier, as had the other participants and put his clothes into a neat pile.
Looking around in the dim light he established that men and women made equal numbers if he included himself. They shared a range of ages.
And so, his journey began with a visit to a shamanic sweat lodge and there, unwittingly, his soul seemed to have become stuck in a place where his nightmares came to him for resolution.
He had reviewed the women for any that might be of interest to his libido, his sole motive for most things he did. One in particular caught his eye but she seemed detached and he had no apparent appeal for her. He thought that he would work on her later in the evening.
Please enjoy the book.
REVIEW Brian Page, editor of Mensa Magazine
This is a brilliant book. If you like stories with a twist, ones that reveal the vagaries of life in all it many forms then this is definitely for you. Very highly recommended.

Описание:
A Romp Through Time, Space, and Ancient Rome
Two award-winning writers take us on an alternate-history adventure-a 1940s barnstorming baseball team, led by retired baseball player and spy Moe Berg, is transported from rural Illinois to Ancient Rome, just after the death of Emperor Septimius Severus.
The Romans-who actually played a game called "small ball"-put the captured team to work teaching baseball to the gladiators for a major Colosseum event...that turns into an over-the-top, life or death finale.
Baseball hijinks, a wild ride through Rome in a careening team bus, a hint of romance, and some viciously good hitting and fielding.
Will the Wandering Warriors make it home? Will the widowed empress escape the fate her evil son has in mind for her? Will the rattletrap team bus make it way through time and space (and Roman roads) back to Illinois?
Will Chicago White Sox owner Grace Comiskey show up to make an unlikely offer to the team's best player?
"Wilber and Smale (are) two literary tricksters who present for your reading pleasure a fantastical romp featuring two cultures nobody but Rick and Alan had ever thought to let clash: barnstorming baseball players and Imperial Romans. You will believe in doubleheaders in the Coliseum. You will marvel at gladiators flailing at curve balls. And you will be tickled by the historical celebrities who take part in America's ... um ... Rome's Pastime. Fun is hereby decreed."-James Patrick Kelly, winner of the Hugo, Nebula and Locus awards

Описание: The world of work has changed and so have trade unions with mergers, rebrandings and new unions being formed. The question is, how positioned are the unions to organize the unorganized? With more than three quarters of UK workers unrepresented and the growth of precarious employment and the gig economy this topical new book by Bob Smale reports up-to-date research on union identities and what he terms ‘niche unionism’, while raising critical questions for the future.
Blake and Me: The Life Lessons I Learned From the Best Teacher I Ever Had is the story of a father's love for his son, and the lessons that father learned through the years from that son.
From the day he found out that Blake had Down syndrome, Gordon Docking has been learning. First, he learned about the obstacles that his son--and his whole family--would have to face. It didn't take long for him to learn that those obstacles could be cleared with the right attitude. Mostly, he learned that Blake had the extraordinary ability to teach him real life lessons if he only would look past the problem and see the future.
Blake is far more normal than not. Though he had some early struggles, Blake was a relatively healthy toddler who had to learn to do all the things that most kids had to do. He had to learn those things in spite of difficulties that would derail many people with less of a support system than Blake enjoyed.
The family learned how to come to grips with the pain of an unexpected diagnosis of Down syndrome, deal with the fear and anxiety of open-heart surgery, and evolve to enjoy Blake's journey of celebrating life's accomplishments, both big and small.
People with Down syndrome are famously happy, but Blake stands apart from most of them. Five seconds into meeting Blake, you realize that he is special. The world may say he has special needs, but the truth is, he's simply special.
The operative word is simple...in a good sense. Blake can take the most complex situation and make it simple, and that's what this book is about. For example, many people spend too much time getting ready to do great things instead of just doing them. Others spend too much time dwelling on the things in their lives that aren't going well instead of celebrating the things that are successful.
Readers will be inspired to look for the good in everything through the narrative of a professional storyteller. There will be times the natural reaction is laughter, and many others where readers are compelled to reexamine their own approach to adversity.
Blake and Me draws you in, and you'll feel like you know this "celebrity magnet." Through the eyes and words of a former television sports reporter, you will realize that life is not that complicated.
Meet a challenge, then defeat a challenge. And have fun doing it.
