  In a fit of anger, radio DJ Jaye Jordan blows a snowman’s head off with a Revolutionary War-style musket. But the corpse that tumbles out is all too human. Jaye thought life would be quieter when she left New York City and bought a tiny Vermont radio station. But now Edwin Anger—the ranting and raving radio talk-show host who Jaye recently fired—lies dead in the snow. And the Edwin Anger fans who protested his dismissal are sure she killed him. To clear her name, Jaye must find the real killer, as if she doesn’t have her hands full running the radio station, DJing her all-request love-song show, and shuttling tween daughter Ryan to and from school. It doesn’t make matters easier that the governor—Jaye’s old crush—arrived on the scene before the musket smoke cleared. Fortunately, Jaye has allies… if you count the flatulent moose that lives in the transmitter shack and the giant gray cat that lives at the station. If Jaye can turn the tables on the devious killer, she and the governor may get to make some sweet sweet music together. But if she can’t, she’ll be off the air… permanently.

  These 19 tales take you from an assassination in a foreign country, to problems on a solar sailing ship having problems after taking a short cut, a solar flare that has seemed to have effected everyone in the city except two people, a man who miss-uses the city emergency drone equipment for private use. There's the ship crashing on a foreign world, a very odd painter, a fix it man who saves the day, some people who catch the lightning for good money, a strange blue table that may be cursed, a walking partner who may have a wicket temper, a side shoe museum with a very special amusement, and a man with a great fear of grocery stores. 
  These are the type of adventures you will find between the covers of Tales From An Ironic Mind Four and I hope you enjoy each and every one of them.

  Search for Kruptos The (Unabridged)

  Mark Samuel

  The themes that thread through these nine accomplished stories are drawn from the great tradition of the twentieth-century weird tale, and they are suffused with a distinctly cosmopolitan, European feel. Mark Samuels writes about the fundamental fears of modern life, especially the effects of isolation and the dislocation that city dwellers can experience in their inhospitable, man-made environment.
  The Search for Kruptos: The man who writes these lines bears only an infinitesimal resemblance to the bespectacled student of the waking world who left Dublin æons ago clad in his father's three-piece suit.
