  Pioneer Go Home!

  Pioneer, Go Home! is a warm and witty tale of the little man versus "Big Gummint." Powell relates the adventures of the Kwimpers—a motley clan of New Jersey Pineys who break down on the side of a southern highway project and decide to claim squatter's rights. Call them "hicks" or "bumpkins" if you like, but these Kwimpers are considerably more resourceful than most folks give them credit for—and ten times as stubborn! When the government orders them to vacate, Pop Kwimper gets his dander up and the die is cast. Hilarity ensues as the family defends its homestead against an onslaught of conniving bureaucrats, Mother Nature, and the mob.
  
  You can't help but cheer for the heroic Kwimpers as they thumb their noses at the authorities, struggle to get a business going, stand up to gun-happy gamblers, and tangle with a foxy social worker over custody of twins Eddy and Teddy. Meantime, young Toby Kwimper and the family's endlessly resourceful "babysitter," Holly Jones, find the time to fall in love—though it takes Toby some time to realize that Holly is "real growed up." Fish and fishing are recurring themes in many of Richard Powell's novels, and there's plenty of both to go around in Pioneer, Go Home!

  An outrageous "novel" by the author of I Smell Esther Williams.In this fiendishly original novel, Mark Leyner is a leather-blazer-wearing, Piranha 793-driving, narcotic-guzzling monster who has potential rivals eliminated by his bionically enhanced bodyguards, has his internal organs tattooed, and eavesdrops on the erotic fantasies of Victoria's Secret models–fantasies that naturally revolve around him. Leyner's jet-propelled roller derby through the cultures of celebrity, cyberpunk, and rabid egotism is exhilaratingly bizarre, exhaustingly funny—and you'd better hope it's just fiction.

  When Sadie Harding’s posh wedding to Felix Barrington-Jones is abruptly cancelled, she’s devastated. While tears are to be expected, surely taking to her bed for a prolonged period is a little OTT? But that’s because Sadie has a secret about what really happened prior to everything being called off. And the guilt is unbearable. 
   
  Three years later Sadie has a new guy in her life, but this chap has four legs, not two. William Beagle is a rescue dog that suits her perfectly. He parps like a man, snores like a man, and loves her unconditionally. But what she hadn’t reckoned upon was an unexpected dispute of ownership with the gorgeous but grumpy Jack Farrell. 
   
  Jack has his own problems. Namely blackmail. The last thing Sadie ever anticipated was being unwittingly implicated. When a peaceful walk turns into a police investigation and William Beagle’s mugshot is splashed across the papers, she’s badly triggered. Can Sadie finally confront the demons of the past in order to face the future? 
   
  Sparks are set to fly in this gorgeous romantic comedy about love, trust, and new beginnings.
