    In a world filled with couples, regardless of gender or species, there are always a few misfits that don't quite belong. In this story, there are at least five, if not more, significant misfits that finally create their niche, the Loner's Niche, where outgoing narcissists aren't welcomed. 
    The five individual stories that'll be intertwined are as follows and begin with Kiernan Prawl, and he's an exciting persona indeed. While he is entangled in a situation beyond his wildest expectations, Anya wonders why she even bothered to get involved in this mess. 
    The second story is about a female, Anya Brody, recovering from a horrible tragedy. She also has some unexpected secrets that slowly get revealed when she's one of the first to learn of Kiernan's predicament. While she does accept Kiernan's issues with his male identity, Anya hadn't anticipated the possibility that she'd become so close to him that he'd reach out to her when he got into trouble. 
    Not only that, but she's too familiar with the area he wound up in for comfort. It is where her trauma has driven her out to try and overcome her past. Now, she not only has to face her past, but she'll have to decide whether to become deeply involved with Kiernan and the others or remain a superficial acquaintance that is only good for the occasional chitchat in passing.

    There are countless books about how to become a millionaire, but this book isn’t one of them. In fact, "Millionaire Beggar" takes you on a journey where riches and rags sit down for a cup of tea, laugh about life’s absurdities, and swap stories about how overrated both wealth and poverty really are. This isn’t a guide to getting rich, nor is it a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of chasing money. Instead, it’s a humorous exploration of what happens when a man who has everything decides to give it all up — not for some noble cause, but because he thought it’d be more fun to sit on a park bench with a sign that says “Spare change?” 
    Why write about such an unusual character? Because in a world where success is measured by the number of zeros in your bank account, I thought it’d be refreshing to dive into a life where a millionaire trades in his tailored suits for second-hand trousers and a cardboard sign. This book is an invitation to laugh at the things we take too seriously, especially money. It’s about flipping the script on what it means to be successful, and most importantly, it’s about the simple joys that come from stepping out of society’s rat race and embracing the bizarre — in style. 
    So, as you read, don’t worry about the moral of the story or the “right way” to live your life. Let’s just enjoy the chaos, the humour, and the adventure of a man who proves that, sometimes, being rich isn’t nearly as entertaining as sitting on the street with a sign that says, “Will beg for laughs.”

    “The Quest “ and “Over and Away” are international award winners while “Half Baked” will tickle your funny bone for sure. 
    “Out Singing” and “Big Sister” speak to the resilience and inventive nature of our beautiful people while the surprise ending of “Christmas Crisis” will warm your heart. 
    Many thanks to the late Tony Lynch for giving me permission to use “The Decline of Scrubbing”. This is the excellent work of my beloved headmaster, Mr. Louis. A. Lynch and can be found in “The Barbados Book” which is available online. 
    Thanks too, to Janice Perryman whose voice can be heard on two stories and to the National Cultural Foundation for allowing me to use their studios for recording.
