  Art. The greatest standard bearer of what the human condition really is?  Or Emperor’s Clothes, cheap gimmicks displayed as all-knowing? 
  When it comes to writing we have our favourite authors.  But what of the authors themselves. What are they keen to write of? 
  For our classic authors; from Poe to Lovecraft, from Woolf to Fitzgerald art in their words, is something to be admired.  From many angles, many views, their stories, their characters interact with art and the consequences fall as they may.

  Escape to the seaside village of Little Pondale with Parts One and Two of this heart-warming and romantic, four-part serial. Mia Ward is amazed to learn she has inherited her great-aunt Matilda's thatched cottage in the tiny seaside village of Little Pondale – especially as Mia didn't know she had a great-aunt. She's even more astonished to discover she'll only inherit the place if she actually lives there for one year. Mia's a city girl at heart, not to mention she's afraid of water, so the fact the cottage backs onto a sandy beach, is not a bonus. When her best friend, Ella and Ella's brother, Garrick offer to help her move and settle in, Mia decides to see this as a new beginning. It may also be the start of an exciting adventure because now Mia wants to know just who, exactly, was great-aunt Matilda. But it soon becomes clear that someone is trying to make sure Mia doesn't stay in Little Pondale….“The kind of book that will capture your heart, make you laugh and just imagine how life in that village is…” JESS BOOKISH LIFE

Gems include:“Don’t spread your blanket where a cat’s been diggin’.”“It don’t take a very big man to carry a grudge.”“Every path has some puddles.”“When I am an old coot I will go to the Dairy Queen and dip my dentures in the hot fudge when the waitress isn’t looking.”

  This anthology from the acclaimed comic strip delves into the weirdness of America as it enters the twenty-first century, dot com, Dubya, and all. 
   
  Even challenging George “Dubya” Bush to a “pronunciation bee” can't save Uncle Duke's weird horse race for the White House. In the end, the former Ambassador passes out in a snowbank while the Cheney Administration kicks into high gear. Predictablistically, the new presidential syntax isn't the only thing that's tortured and strange.  
   
  Take myvulture.com, an Internet company born and born-again, worth $1 million or $500, depending on whether you ask the CEO or his mother; or look at Joanie Caucus as the turnover in Washington casts her career into play, if not into midlife crisis; or consider J.J. and Zeke, whose pay-per-view, online wedding yields mucho buzz but zero bucks—just like the rest of the Net. Yes, it's a Dubya Dubya Dubya world. Doonesbury just downloads it.
