Synopsis

Master Flea: A Fairy-Tale in Seven Adventures of Two Friends is a humorous fairytale fantasy novel by E. T. A. Hoffmann first published in 1822. Set in the city of Frankfurt am Main, the novel follows the story of Peregrinus Tyss, who becomes entangled in the conflict between supernatural characters in bourgeois form over Dörtje Elverdink, in reality Princess Gamaheh of Famagusta.

Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (24 January 1776 – 25 June 1822) was a German Romantic author of fantasy and Gothic horror, a jurist, composer, music critic and artist.
His stories form the basis of Jacques Offenbach's opera The Tales of Hoffmann, in which Hoffmann appears (heavily fictionalized) as the hero. He is also the author of the novella The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, on which Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker is based. The ballet Coppélia is based on two other stories that Hoffmann wrote, while Schumann's Kreisleriana is based on Hoffmann's character Johannes Kreisler.

    The charming and original story of a small, declining community’s struggle to survive in the shadow of an all-consuming metropolis, from from the multi-million copy bestselling author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared. 
    All over the world, people sleep blissfully in Traumbett beds. These marvellous feats of German engineering have successfully cornered the mattress market everywhere. Everywhere, except Sweden and owner Konrad Kaltenbacher Jr is desperate to expand there. 
    With Konrad Jr’s sights set firmly on stylish Stockholm, Julia Bäck, district councillor of the small, decaying town of Halstaholm, has plans of her own. Seeing an opportunity to attract 800 new jobs, Julia jumps into spearheading a persuasive campaign to win the contract. A roundabout is hastily renamed in honour of Angela Merkel; a German school is quickly established under the leadership of a ten-year-old boy and three elderly pensioners; and the town swimming pool is rapidly transformed into a beerhouse – it had been empty for years anyway! 
    Julia’s get-up-and-go impresses the German boss … but has she made herself a tricky bed to lie in? 
    For fans of Fredrik Backman (My Friends), Richard Osman (We Solve Murders), Lisa See (The Island of Sea Women), Caimh Mcdonnell (Angels in the Moonlight), and Han Kang (We Do Not Part).

    Synopsis 
    CEO Larisha Pushkin wants more power. She buys out Lizer, a pharmaceutical company. Yet it is the only company which does what is says; Change Your Life with Lizer. Years ago, the drug ‘figene’ took the World by storm. Described like Crystal Meth with a kick of Viagra. The gem of this opioid, users become who, not what they consume. The drug changes the internal part of the person, not their exterior. Users of the Nap (Napoleon) Ghost, give themselves enhanced charisma, success in most of their affairs. Unknown athletes are now finding endorsement deals. CEOs who were found to be weak are now lions of prowess. 
    The drug’s fatal side-effect is the fate knocker. In the Nap Ghost drug, death at the age 53, imprisonment, and poisoning give users a taste of their dreams. 
    Neuro-Physicist Jim Below founded the company. He refused to create an antidote to the kicker. This move gives Larissa the urgency to take control of the company.  
    Once in love, both Jim and Larissa are now on a collision course. Of course, they dare not speak of it to anyone. Like the rap adage goes, More Money, More Problems.  
    Volume Louder or Two will follow with enough interest. Peace Out. Doc King Cole

    Ever Indigo Nikita Stein is quite sure she doesn't belong at the School for Gifted Children of Genius Parents where she's mockingly called "Einstein" by her classmates. After all, her parents disappeared nine years ago and are missing and presumed dead and she has no idea if they were geniuses. She's been leading a lonely life under the care of the Doc, the kind but reclusive inventor of invisible ice cream, where her only friend is a badly-programmed robot fridge with anger issues. Things get worse for Ever when a crow delivers a cryptic message from the future and the Doc, fearing for his life, vanishes through a forbidden door. It turns out that scientists and inventors around the world are under threat - one has met with a terrible fate and another has been kidnapped. Ever must seek the help of an unlikely pair of detectives, Harry Snowize, a former spy, and Snitch, a clever and dignified rat. As the trio embark on a wild adventure across the globe to solve a mystery and save the inventors, Ever comes to realize that perhaps she’s not so inadequate after all.
