Summary

In "Bindle: Some Chapters in the Life of Joseph Bindle," H.G. Jenkins crafts a humorous yet poignant portrayal of the life of an unconventional character, Joseph Bindle. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, this episodic narrative employs a vivid and lively literary style that captures the nuances of working-class life. Jenkins deftly interweaves social commentary and character-driven storytelling, illuminating the trials and tribulations faced by those navigating the complexities of post-Victorian society while simultaneously providing moments of levity that invite readers to reflect on broader themes of resilience and aspiration. H.G. Jenkins, a prolific author and playwright, was marked by his experiences within the vibrant literary circles of his time. His background in journalism enabled him to keenly observe society's intricacies, and it is this insight that informs the deeply relatable character of Bindle. Jenkins's empathy for the struggles of everyday people reflects his own humble beginnings and passion for giving voice to the marginalized, revealing a strong connection between the author's life and the narrative he brings to life. "Bindle" is a compelling read for those seeking a rich exploration of character and society wrapped in humor and wit. Readers who appreciate narratives resonating with the human experience will find themselves drawn into Bindle's world, making this work not just a story, but an experience that resonates emotionally and intellectually.

    Neighboring small towns, Coon Creek and Golden Springs, Ohio, enter their own little war, and may never be the same after the coming Fourth of July celebration. 
    Coon Creek, a conservative, industrial, blue-collar town, has seen better days. Golden Springs is home to Antaeus College, a private institution with a tradition of liberal politics. No love lost between those two. 
    Mazie Tuttle, a professional dog walker, knows both towns well. Born and raised in Coon Creek, she enrolls in the Antaeus College summer literary program being taught by the famous radical novelist and pie lover, Roscoe Alolo. As tensions flare between the two towns over a statue of Coon Creek’s founding father standing in the town’s square, one act of vandalism follows another, and Mazie increasingly feels caught in the middle of the hostilities. 
    Groups in both towns plot to disrupt the other’s Fourth of July celebration. On one side, the schemers include Mazie’s brother, her ex-boyfriend turned drug dealer, and a Methodist minister who’s running for mayor. On the other, Professor Alolo urges his class to take action to “liberate” Coon Creekers. 
    Sooner or later, Mazie will have to take a side. She just doesn’t know which she’ll choose.

    Comedy meets Brave New World, Blade Runner and Cyber Punk. This book is a selection of short stories without care of being cancelled. 
    Humor is becoming extinct and the author hopes it will remain alive. As Mark Twain once wrote; “It is not hard being funny, as long as it is the Truth!” 
    Excerpt: 
    2033 
    Business men now work on Freedom Street (was Wall Street). Cyber Cams have cyber games and now the Internet monitors Itself with Devilet (One World Government) system. People walk along lanes on the side walk. They are ticked if they do over 3.3 miles an hour. A Meter bills them out of their 401 Gay Account. 
    It is like the Dark Ages now. The job problems are not around because a third of six billion people are lying low, victims of coverted wars, nukes, reactors leaking more than your grandma’s depends after watching another Harry Potter Seniors Night 
    Joe was a refuse collector. He wore a chem. Suit. Why did he collect refuse because he could not refuse.

    'This has all of Fran's trademark quick wit and black humour' Gráinne Murphy'Funny, warm and very moving' Lucinda Hawksley'Fran writes with such humour and humanity, it was an absolute tonic' Victoria Mackenzie 
    1979. Jackie Chadwick is 17 and living in a supported bedsit. She's still close to her foster parents and friends with (aka unofficial minder for) Amanda, their irresponsible daughter, but she’s enjoying her independence – until a fire leaves her temporarily homeless. Jackie’s dad, widower and recovering alcoholic Dave, has just been released from prison and sees this as his chance to make amends. He offers her his spare room – but can their relationship survive him going back on the booze and the arrival of his gin-loving lady friend and her errant son? As things go from bad to worse, Jackie has to decide how many chances you give someone who keeps letting you down. 
    Bittersweet and funny, Home Bird draws on Fran Hill's own experiences as a teenager in foster care.
