Wherewolf

Tony Lewis

Sinossi

Half-vampire Ollie inherits his uncle's detective agency in the undead town of Skullenia.
 
With the agency comes his uncle's staff: a zombie who can barely hold himself together, a zombie the size of a phonebox and with a single digit IQ, a mad professor, and Ronnie - who has the ability to make himself invisible.
 
Skullenia seems to be the last place that would need a detective agency. At least that is what Ollie thinks, until Count Jocular commissions him to help resolve a series of unexplained disappearances.
 
But has Ollie bitten off more than he can chew? With the help of his motley crew and some quite frankly ridiculous characters, he attempts to solve this perplexing mystery.

In the hilarious new novel in the best-selling Detective Varg series, Ulf Varg will need to solve both a sensitive crime and his own delicate dilemma if he hopes to preserve the peace. 
 
The Department of Sensitive Crimes is downsizing in light of a recent decrease in sensitive crime, and staff members are wondering who among them will be transferred elsewhere. As the bickering among colleagues intensifies, Detective Ulf Varg tries his best to stay above the fray.  
But when Anna, a longtime friend and coworker, appears to blame him for an old case that went sideways, it seems she may be putting her own job prospects above their friendship. 
 
In the midst of all this, Ulf embarks on an important inquiry: a man’s cabin has mysteriously disappeared, and Ulf is tasked with finding out what happened. How exactly does one steal a house? And, more to the point, how does one track downa stolen house? Meanwhile, a promising  
treatment for deafness in dogs has been announced, and Ulf’s dog, Martin, might be the perfect patient.

Cheer Up Jay Ritchie

Jay Ritchie

Ritchie discovers and obstructs truths, like the difficulty of being at the bar and being a lilac bush simultaneously.
  I bought tear-resistant pants
  
  just in case
  
  
  
  I'm not
  
  
  
  a good guy underneath it all,
  
  being honest in discreet doses
  
  to underpaid retail employees.
  
  
  
  With an alternating sense of wonder and detachment, Jay Ritchie's first full-length collection of poetry grapples with death, disappointment, love, emails - the large and small subjects of daily life. His unflagging sense of humour and aphoristic delivery create a work that is personable yet elevated, witty, and honest.
