  Dating is hard enough at the best of times. It’s near impossible when there’s a serial killer on the loose—particularly when you keep waking up in unfamiliar places with no clue how you got there—and a recently acquired fondness for all-black outfits and matching leather gloves. 
  Pete Walker is hoping for Romeo and Juliet levels of passion but keeps getting Shrek and Donkey instead. There’s Penny, an uninhibited fitness fanatic. Miranda, who takes her cats very seriously. And Lila—intriguing and mysterious, with a worrying penchant for car theft. 
  As the body count rises and Pete’s blackouts get worse, he starts to wonder: at what point does bad dating become a police matter? 
  A wickedly dark comedy filled with adult humour, questionable dating choices, and a whole lot of laughs. 
  Fast-paced and funny - ★★★★★ 
  I couldn't put it down - ★★★★★ 
  Dark yet hilarious - ★★★★★ 
  Narrated by the fantastic TV & stage actress Sarah Kempton. 
  The Audiobook Review - ★★★★★ - a superb example of a dark romantic comedy.

  The Odell Buckenflush Chronicles are river tales gathered from a career in outdoor education. Experiential learning is combined with humor to highlight environmental impacts and consequences. While the tales are humorous, each carries a lesson for those exploring the outdoors. 
  These stories serve as fun examples for outdoor leaders, teachers, camp counselors, and resource managers, making the book both educational and entertaining. After all, outdoor educators specialize in “edutainment.” 
  In the Chronicles, decisions must be made, leading to consequences and lessons. As Paul Petzoldt noted, people often need help understanding experiences to avoid repeating mistakes. These tales offer many examples of “what just happened.” 
  While not a deep dive into learning theory, the book shows different learning styles. As humorist Will Rogers said, “There are three kinds of people: those who learn by reading, those who learn by observation, and those who have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.” Odell does the “peeing”—you just enjoy the stories! 
  Each of the five volumes follows the same structure, featuring forty-eight tales across four chapters:Inventions and AchievementsFamily ConnectionsRescue and SurvivalPhilosophy and Life 
  At the end of each tale, a “Tale of the Tale” section explains the real-life inspiration. 
  A Glossary of River Terms adds both accuracy and humor. Multiple appendices cross-reference:Rivers and locationsPreviously published talesOutdoor experience subjectsBuckenflush characters 
  Dr. Odell Buckenflush isn’t one real person, but a blend of real folks, imagination, and folklore. You might even recognize yourself in these adventures.
