Synopsis

A series of stories which each explore some individual aspect of life in a paralytically sleepy Central American town while each advancing some aspect of the larger plot and relating back one to another in a complex structure which slowly explicates its own background even as it painstakingly erects a town which is one of the most detailed literary creations of the period.
In this book, O. Henry coined the term "banana republic".

    My Therapist Says This Grief...

    "I am writing this grief journal at the repeated advice of my therapist. I'm writing it to myself, as my own reader. I hate readers. Mostly because I hate myself." 
     
     
     
    You could say Kyle Jr. grew up in a dysfunctional family. That'd be an understatement. His mother's wealthy family disinherited her for marrying the working-class Kyle Sr., and she's never forgiven him (or KJ) for that. 
     
     
     
    When his father's suicide turns his life upside down, KJ fills his therapist-recommended grief journal with plenty of sarcasm, excerpts from sweary, punny high-school short stories, and fourth-wall-breaking asides. Through all the bravado and swagger, a portrait emerges of a young man confronting a dark past with genuine compassion and keen insight. He's determined to reconcile with its legacy—and to survive.

    The history of lycanthrope stretches back to man’s beginnings. From cave drawings and tribal folklore, from the Inquisition to the 20th Century, man’s fascination with werewolves has never wavered. New information is uncovered daily and the field of study has been ripped wide open with new information. 
    Now there is finally a book that covers all the diverse elements of these cursed but greatly misunderstood creatures. From the bloodstained history from Europe and into the New World, especially the United States, these creatures have been documented like no other. But there is also a need for practical information as well. “When Werewolves Attack” supplies just that type of insight. 
    How do you detect a werewolf when they are in human form? What if a family member is a werewolf? How do you defend yourself from an attack, in terms of weaponry and fortification whether you are inside or out in the woods? How do you escape from an attack of savage lycanthropes? Don’t be caught flat-footed again. This is the field guide everybody needs to protect themselves and their family.

    A fun, fast-paced, humorous mystery about a brainy, relatable heroine, a government experiment gone wrong, and the zany world of T.O.P.S.E.C.R.E.T. espionage… 
    My name is Julie Richardson, and if you'd told me one week ago that I'd be racing through the sewers of Paris in search of a golden thumb drive to stop an Evil Villain from destroying the world, I'd have thought you were describing some off-brand James Bond film. 
    Unfortunately for me, I had to go and *accidentally* trigger a dangerous government experiment that turned me into the most sought-after source of classified intel on the planet. I used to be worried about my GPA and graduating college at the top of my class. Now, I've got bad guys chasing after me, so-called "good guys" trying to experiment on me, and Evil Villains threatening to cut out my brain! The good news is, there's a chance I could get my normal life back. The bad news is that chance is slim to none. 
    Forced to go on a life-threatening government mission? Check. 
    Accompanied by the world's most handsome/self-absorbed spy? Check. 
    A plan? Not even close. 
    Welcome to T.O.P.S.E.C.R.E.T.
