Sinopsis

In "Pomona's Travels," Frank Richard Stockton weaves a rich tapestry of adventure and whimsy that showcases his talent for fantastical storytelling. The narrative follows the titular character, Pomona, as she embarks on a journey filled with encounters that blend humor, satire, and philosophical musings. Written during the late 19th century, the book reflects the era's fascination with both exploration and the absurd, employing a playful prose style that engages readers while satirizing human nature and societal norms. Frank Richard Stockton, an esteemed American writer and humorist, was known for his imaginative tales and distinctive narrative form. His experiences in journalism and literature, along with an interest in the philosophical underpinnings of human behavior, profoundly influenced his writing style. "Pomona's Travels" can be seen as a culmination of Stockton's literary explorations, combining elements of fairy tales with a critical eye towards the realities of life, thus embodying the tensions of the Society of his time. Highly recommended for readers who appreciate lighthearted yet thought-provoking narratives, "Pomona's Travels" invites you into a world where the ordinary meets the extraordinary. Stockton's ability to illuminate the absurdities of life through satire not only entertains but also stimulates introspection, making this book a delightful and enriching read.

    CONGRATULATIONS! You might be an empath. 
    (Or just a really tired person who needs a nap. Either way, this book is for you.)

    ✔️ Why crowded places feel like a sensory assault: (Spoiler: Because they ARE.) 
    ✔️ The scientifically unproven but emotionally accurate concept of "Empath Fatigue™"—a condition where you are exhausted, but not from anything you actually did. 
    ✔️ How to set boundaries like a functioning adult (But let’s be honest, you won’t.) 
    ✔️ A step-by-step guide to ignoring toxic positivity without getting arrested.

    ✅ Top 10 lies you tell yourself as an empath, starting with "I’m fine." 
    🚨 WARNING: This book will not help you become a better person. It will, however, make you feel less alone while you continue spiraling into emotional exhaustion. 
    📢 Read at your own risk. (Or don’t. You’ll probably feel guilty either way.)

    A 1920s cosy aboard a yacht on the Scilly Seas 
    Golden-age gadabout Anty Boisjoly, his valet Vickers, the weary and wary Inspector Wittersham, and a passenger list of howling eccentrics find themselves prey to the sway and spray of the Scilly Seas when what at first seems a simple, unexplainable, locked-stateroom murder twists into a tale of pirate treasure, perilous weather and treacherous endeavours at sea. 
    Just as with all Anty Boisjoly stand-alone stumpers, Mystery and Malice aboard RMS Ballast is best enjoyed by those who can stand some slight silliness in their maritime mysteries. 
    Anty Boisjoly Mysteries are old-school, clean and cosy, locked-room mysteries with improbable plots inspired by Agatha Christie written in the style of an homage to PG Wodehouse.

    Teddy Lint is the kindest private investigator on the planet, committed to seeing the best in everyone he meets. The detective agency he runs out of a Los Angeles strip mall with his brother Ralph has seen a strange case or two before, but never anything like this. A man claiming to work for the CIA hires the Lints to find a shipping container of radioactive Agent Orange that vanished over fifty years ago. He insists someone is planning on using an army of drones to drench L.A. with the deadly chemicals before the week is out. 
    The Lint Brothers enter a maze of bizarre suspects, from nefarious ad executives, to anarchistic Boy Scouts, to a toga-clad militia fighting for exclusive rule by women. The propaganda-obsessed society that seems to be running the world is probably worth looking into as well. The power of empathy collides with the dangers of disinformation as Teddy fights to save the people he loves. Our beloved detective doesn't give up easily, but any Angelenos with an aversion to death by herbicide might want to dust off that umbrella, just in case . . .
