  G-MAN #6 (Can be read as stand-alone as this is the Next-Gen sub-series!) 
  Holy Hockey Puck! 
  Weston Matthews is twenty-one, a senior in a prestigious, Ivy League College, and has a tongue like Gene Simmons!  
  He's a frat boy, hockey jock, and all around ladies man. He does have one problem though: he has to ace his  
  Classic Lit II class in order to graduate and stay eligible to play hockey for Hardwick University. 
  Weston is provided a tutor to help with his senior Lit class. Enter Penny Lane, also a senior at another local college,  
  doing part-time status at Hardwick. She tutors to earn money, but her aspirations go far beyond just that.  
  Penny is plain, nerdy, brilliant, and has a hidden agenda. She and Weston get off on the wrong foot, and from there,  
  things will only get crazier. 
  Fasten your seat belts, and hold on for dear life as you take this roller-coaster ride on the Walk of Shame! 
  Adult Content; Sexual Situations, 18+

  Geoffrey Little's edgy hilarity and rare sensitivity fuse across these sixteen stories. First recorded as immersive conversational podcasts, the tales here include a mandatory corporate retirement party, class with an eccentric yoga instructor, an overconfident podcaster, and an icky food truck love triangle. 
  Whether pleasantly hapless or bitterly exacting, the conversations here (and each are only dialogue) portray a range of humanity, including a few non-humans. Chat is still where it's at, even in the fast lane of the 21st century.

  A real duke moves into a quiet middle-class neighborhood, and the residents of suburban south London are baffled. He is polite, curious, and full of surprises. His presence turns their carefully ordered world upside down. 
  With each visit and every interaction, the Duke challenges their ideas of status, respectability, and social norms. Small dramas unfold behind garden fences. Gossip spreads quickly. Manners are tested. 
  This is a sharp, witty social comedy about class, ambition, and the ridiculous ways people try to impress one another. Edgar Wallace offers a light-hearted yet pointed look at suburban life in early 20th-century England. 
  Perfect for readers who enjoy British humor, social satire, and comedies of manners.

  Life in a remote fishing village in the middle of a civil war is neither safe nor inspiring. So, when an opportunity comes along for village girl Lynn to be kidnapped and enslaved by Darren, a ruthless pirate queen, she takes full advantage of it. But Darren is neither as ruthless nor as piratical as she appears at first glance--and Lynn's not exactly what she seems to be, either. In between encounters with old girlfriends, a slow death involving marmalade, and bounty hunters with no sense of humor, Lynn and her new mistress attempt to work out exactly what they are to each other--and who's in charge.

  "For almost six decades Segal has quietly produced some of the best fiction and essays in American literature . . ." —The New York Times 
   
   
   
  Beloved New Yorker writer Lore Segal, at ninety-five years old, is a national treasure. Working at the height of her powers, in this story collection she turns her gimlet eye and compassionate humor on aging and life in the slow lane. 
   
   
   
  From the master of the short short comes a collection of sixteen new stories featuring old friends who have loved and lunched together for over forty years. These erudite, sharp-minded nonagenarians offer startling insights into friendship, family and aging. 
   
   
   
  Can the group organize a visit to one of their number in her new, and detested, assisted living situation? Is this a fabulous party with old friends, or a funeral reception? And does who was sleeping with whom, way back when, still matter? 
   
   
   
  In story after story, Segal's voice is always hilarious and urbane, heartbreaking and profound, keen and utterly unsentimental, as she tackles aging's affronts.
