  Collected Stories and Lies

  Collected Stories and Lies is a collection of stories, recollections, and memoirs which crackle with wit, brazen sentimentality, and unfiltered self-awareness. With a motley cast of characters, both real and imagined, led by the 'I'm just a little weird' Zevy, popping and out of stories, Collected Stories and Lies blurs the lines of fact and fiction. 
  With Stories culled from Zevy's childhood, misadventures with friends and family and blind date disasters, Collected Stories and Lies is full of exotic food, quirky characters, radios, and generous portions of chutzpah and hubris. You will come away with wry lessons on gambling, family, and the subtle art of exaggeration. 
  After all, one should never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

  God Don't Like Aholes - Or...

  This is an educational entertainment humor filled with real life experiences. It is unconventional in nature. Topics such as dealing with Assholes in all walks of life, and what not to do with cantankerous people. Yet it deals with God, What Men and Women Really Want, Blog Movie Reviews, PTSD, Alcoholism, Why Losing in Short Run is Better in the Long Run, Teaching; How to Teach to Students Who Are Jacked, and Achieving Any Goal, if You Believe in God and Yourself.This is a book based on experiences, research, Moreover the quote God Don’t Like A-holes is from my late father. My late sister knitted the quote and framed it for him years ago. To be sure I did not understand why he used this expression. Ironically, this came to life around his 54th birthday, which is my age at the moment. The older I grow, the more this idiom makes sense. The point is, those who mistreat you does not mean you should do the like. Anger manifested becomes a consuming fire, and does more damage to yourself. You may be familiar with the expression, ‘Do not burn your bridges.’This work is more aimed at ironing out my failures so you do not try them. Such as trying out for Pro Soccer at the age of 47 without any experience, applying and interviewing to be a CEO of Elderly Care Service in England with no experience, working as a bouncer while teaching full time, returning to the military at the age of 40, allowing a step sister to borrow your car, borrowing other people’s property like wives, or thinking God wouldn’t see me steal soldiers or match box cars at the age of 9. Moreover, not shutting up when confronted by supervisors about suggestions, or being corrected, or telling your fellow Marines in Norway they have a free day coming up before the command puts the word out.Furthermore, historical anecdotes, and topics such as the useless Veterans Preference points for jobs, teaching, bartending, and the topic of Branding, musicmaking, writing, fitness, prayer, and God will all be covered.

  I Am Herod

  On a whim, armchair-atheist Richard Kelly Kemick joins the 100-plus cast of The Canadian Badlands Passion Play, North America's largest production of its kind and one of the main tourist attractions in Alberta. By the time closing night is over, Kemick has a story to tell. From the controversial choice of casting to the bizarre life in rehearsal, this glorious behind-the-scenes look at one of Canada's strangest theatrical spectacles also confronts the role of religion in contemporary life and the void left by its absence for non-believers. 
  "Kemick's book is that delicious cross between Waiting for Guffman and The Studhorse Man, a rousing personal comedy that dances between the sweat of art and the glue of experience. Nothing like it exists in non-fiction, but don't read it for that reason. Read it because it sticks to your fingers and you can't shake it off." — Dave Bidini 
  "Well-observed and poignant, this is a fascinating look into a largely unknown world." — Michael Coren 
  "Richard Kemick spends a summer in Alberta's Bible Belt where it may be easier to find God than a vegetarian meal. There, he confronts age-old questions about belief with near-miraculous freshness, honesty, and humour. A deeply personal investigation of the blurred border between faith and imagination." — Marcello Di Cintio

  The Camel's Back

  F. Scott Fitzgerald

  F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Camel’s Back” is a sparkling Jazz Age comedy of pride, champagne, misunderstandings, and one extremely unfortunate camel costume. 
  Perry Parkhurst, a perfectly polished young lawyer from Toledo, reaches the end of his rope when a quarrel with his glamorous sweetheart, Betty Medill, leaves him heartbroken and humiliated. In a moment of wounded bravado, he lets himself be swept into an evening of reckless celebration—one that ends with him renting a shabby camel costume for a high-society circus ball. 
  What follows is a cascade of Fitzgerald-perfect chaos: mistaken identities, furious flirtations, a dancing camel, a drunken taxicab driver, and a cotillion gone completely off the rails. And at the heart of it all, a romance dangling between disaster and destiny. 
  Equal parts farce and charm, “The Camel’s Back” showcases Fitzgerald’s gift for sharp social satire, irresistible characters, and the comedic madness of love. Performed with rich personality by Tony J. Martin, this classic short story comes alive with all the wit, warmth, and wild energy of the Roaring Twenties. 
  A romp. A riot. A romance. And yes—there really is a camel.

  Charlotte feels shell-shocked as she takes in the scene before her. To the left is her (ex?) fiancé’s retreating figure as he hotfoots it back to civilization; in front, the crumbling Greek island farmhouse she thought was their shared dream; and just below, a goat munching merrily on her sunhat… One year ago, as they drowned their post-holiday blues, Jamie had leaped at Charlotte’s idea to permanently swap drizzly Chester for sun-drenched Crete. Now it looks like she’ll be living this dream alone. Devastated, she rolls up her sleeves and gets to work, pouring her misery–and her anger–into turning this derelict house into her forever home. At least the local community welcomes her into their lemon-scented bosom, along with sexy, provoking restaurant-owner-slash-handyman Darius. Taking a sledgehammer to her old life and snacking on homemade honey cake on her breaks, Charlotte begins to see the promise of a future without Jamie. But on a trip back to Chester, he suddenly appears, wanting her back. Faced with a choice between the first love who broke her heart and the gorgeous Greek man, err scenery, that has been putting it back together, how will Charlotte decide where she truly belongs?

  Congratulations! You’ve matched with a Tech Bro. Maybe he built a “disruptive” app that nobody asked for. Maybe he describes himself as an “entrepreneur” but lives with four roommates. Maybe he just pitched you a startup idea during your first date. Either way, welcome to the rollercoaster ride that is dating a man who thinks “Web3” is a personality. 
  This hilariously brutal field guide will help you navigate, survive, and ultimately regret your decision to date a man whose primary relationship is with his second monitor. You’ll learn: 
  ✔️ Why he refers to your love life as an "MVP" (minimum viable product) 
  ✔️ How to decode his texts ("Let’s sync later" = He’s ghosting you) 
  ✔️ Why he still wears hoodies even though he has six-figure stock options 
  ✔️ The warning signs that your next breakup will be sent via Google Docs 
  If you’ve ever dated a guy who uses the phrase “scaling our relationship,” this book is for you. It won’t save you, but at least you’ll go into the next disaster fully informed. 
  🚨 WARNING: Side effects of reading this book may include deleting LinkedIn, blocking startup bros, and questioning every life choice that led you here.
