Casey Ryan chronicles the escapades of a spirited stagecoach driver known for his reckless yet endearing nature. Set against the evolving landscape of the American West, the novel combines humor and adventure, capturing the essence of a man navigating personal and societal transformations during a pivotal era.
The villain’s a poet, the weapon is verse, and the whole world’s a stage. The Ar’dath-Irr’s final act is nearly complete — and the applause will be apocalyptic. Oscar Teabag-Dooven, once a Velvet Paw, is all that stands between a fractured universe and total obliteration. But Oscar wanted to be a poet, not a hero, not a destroyer, and certainly not the most loathed animal on the planet. After his avant-garde recital triggers mass death, suspicious reincarnations and catastrophic misunderstandings involving curry, he’s the only one left to blame. With his reputation in ruins and a war effort rising, Oscar and a huge cast must navigate a broken world filled with inverted corpses, bureaucratic panic and a vengeful poet-dog whose power defies life itself. Revenge seems like the only reasonable response. But in a world where hugs are abolished and poetry causes mass casualties, reason is a dangerous thing. Joined by armies and navies orchestrated under Operation Fluffy Cloud, Oscar must confront his greatest fear: that this entire war might just be about him. This is the climax of the Morigan Tetralogy: where poetry bends worlds and the end of everything smells faintly of cinnamon and petrol. “Highly likely they take longer to read than they do to write.” - Gary, Freelance Impregnator. “While reading this I was transported elsewhere, although I was on a bus at the time.” - Karen Dubonis, Breeder. “I am literally lost for words, though not nearly as lost as the author.” - Stamford Black, Designer.Mostra libro
Part I. The Story of Rollo; Mr. Holliday knows all there is to know about raising children, or at least he thinks he does. His attempts to train his son, Rollo, "in the way he should go," are well-meant, but hilariously unsuccessful--or are they? I believe this is a sort of spoof of the “Rollo” series for children, that was written by Jacob Abbot in the mid 19th century. The characters have the same names and the chapters have a little Q&A at the end like the Abbot books, except these are definitely tongue-in-cheek. These Rollo stories use humor (and a bit of pathos) to teach plain home truths to parents, rather than children.Part II. Stories and Sketches; It is difficult to give this part a better description than the title implies. It is an assortment of short works. Some are humorous, some thought-provoking, some have a bit of both, and some are, I think, just a tad demented (but in a good way.)(Introduction by Debra Lynn)Mostra libro

Love is a fascinating aspect of human emotions that embalms withered souls with new hope and zest for life. Yet love manifests in myriad shades ranging from caring to conjugal, physical to psychological, empowering to escorting. Often love follows good humor, and together these two human instincts trigger the highest form of hedonistic pleasures in human minds. Still, sorrows and despair bring souls together to a new spring of togetherness at times to present a contrarian realization of human love and bonding. This seeming dichotomy illustrates the complexities of human motivation as a driving force in the human endeavor to live and let live. This treatise accounts for the first volume of such fascinating and confounding attributes over a roller-coaster ride of 16 audio stories that will enthrall your human senses in a journey of close to 8 hours uninterrupted. Tune in to this editor's collection and set out on a voyage of rediscovering your humane disposition.
