Synopsis

In the quaint village of Willowbrook, where secrets lurk beneath the surface and laughter echoes through the streets, a hilarious comedy of errors is about to unfold. When Clive, a charming stranger seeking refuge from the war, arrives in the village, he sets off a chain of events that turns the tranquil community upside down.

Clive's encounter with Penelope Toop, the vicar's wife and a former actress yearning for excitement, sparks a connection that ignites a whirlwind of misunderstandings and mistaken identities. As Miss Skillon, the formidable village matriarch, disapproves of Penelope's unconventional ways and views Clive with suspicion, the stage is set for a hilarious farce.

With a German prisoner of war on the loose, a stolen vicar's outfit, and a series of comical mix-ups, the villagers find themselves caught in a web of deception and absurdity. As rumors fly and tensions rise, the lines between friend and foe blur, and the truth becomes elusive.

Amidst the chaos, unlikely alliances form, and hidden agendas come to light. The arrival of a bishop and another vicar for a visit only adds to the confusion, as the villagers struggle to maintain their dignity and sanity amidst the whirlwind of laughter and mayhem.

With mistaken identities, secret rendezvous, and unexpected twists, this uproarious comedy of errors will leave readers laughing out loud. As the curtain rises on this hilarious tale, the inhabitants of Willowbrook embark on a side-splitting adventure that will have you turning the pages late into the night.

In this witty and charming farce, the villagers of Willowbrook remind us that even in the midst of chaos and confusion, laughter can prevail. With its cast of unforgettable characters and its clever plot that keeps you guessing until the very end, this book is a delightful escape from the everyday world.

    A brief and humorous 500-year history of the Simplified Spelling Movement from advocates like Ben Franklin, C. S. Lewis, and Mark Twain to texts and Twitter. 
    Why does the G in George sound different from the G in gorge? Why does C begin both case and cease? And why is it funny when a philologist faints, but not polight to laf about it? Anyone who has ever had the misfortune to write in English has, at one time or another, struggled with its spelling. 
    So why do we continue to use it? If our system of writing words is so tragically inconsistent, why haven’t we standardized it, phoneticized it, brought it into line? How many brave linguists have ever had the courage to state, in a declaration of phonetic revolt: “Enough is enuf”?  
    The answer: many. In the comic annals of linguistic history, legions of rebel wordsmiths have died on the hill of spelling reform, risking their reputations to bring English into the realm of the rational. This book is about them: Mark Twain, Ben Franklin, Eliza Burnz, C. S. Lewis, George Bernard Shaw, Charles Darwin, and the innumerable others on both sides of the Atlantic who, for a time in their life, became fanatically occupied with writing thru instead of through, tho for though, laf for laugh, beleev for believe, and dawter for daughter (and tried futilely to get everyone around them to do it too).  
    Henry takes his humorous and informative chronicle right up to today as the language seems to naturally be simplifying to fit the needs of our changing world thanks to technology—from texting to Twitter and emojis, the Simplified Spelling Movement may finally be having its day. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    As Time Goes Bye-Bye  
    What happens when one of the world's greatest superspies struggles with retirement? Officially, he's dead, of course, but for 84-year-old Herbert Bigglesby, a quiet fadeout at Sunset View Senior Living Community is not going well. He feels like a prisoner, no one believes his stories, and his once-honored sixth sense for danger is now ridiculed as paranoid delusion. 
    But he's not wrong. His enemies are not all resting in peace or dementia. Soon he finds himself thrust back into his old world of high-speed chases, unusual alliances, and late-night adventures with gorgeous women, though staying up past 8:00 is hard to do! 
    With his past, present, and future all at stake, he flips the script and PT tables on what aging is all about. And he won't suffer scammers lightly as he gathers his remaining wits about him and heads to the high seas for what is hardly a final slowdown.

    All's fair in love and war . . . until your brother brings his bad boy, ice hockey playing best friend into your life. 
     
     
     
    Riley: I'm pouring all my savings into launching my own catering business, so the last thing I need is distraction. Even if he is six feet five inches tall, plays ice hockey, and is probably one of the most intriguing, and also maddening, people I've met. Ever. 
     
     
     
    People say he's grumpy, but to me, he's funny and kind, too. He's misunderstood and even though he's one of the most famous players coming up in the ranks right now, he doesn't feel seen by those he loves . . . and I get that. But I've got my own fears: that my dreams fail, my mother keeps rejecting me, and the big one—my fear of commitment. 
     
     
     
    Jake: Getting suspended for 'anger issues' lands me in Sweetkiss Creek at my agent's request. Licking my wounds and taking a time out sounds ridiculous . . . until I meet her. She's feisty, sassy, and fiery enough that I swear she could melt the ice I skate on. 
     
     
     
    I never would have thought I'd find solace and an unexpected ally in the person who's old bedroom I'm staying in. The last thing I want or need is to fall in love—but for some reason my heart isn't getting the memo.
