Summary

All Sorts Of People 
 Every traveller, old or young, international or national, meets people. These can be fellow travellers or locals. You never met them before but while you are observing them, you see a behaviour you didn’t expect. Either nice or strange, it catches your attention. You try hard but you can’t get your head around it. And when you are about to uncover the story behind these people, they leave and you will never know if it is true or a figment of your imagination because you will most likely, never meet them again. 
Helen Varras and her late husband travelled Europe with their motor home. They too met many people but observed even more. 
Helen is an author of fiction stories and novels and could not resist creating a tale around the people they observed. She wrote many short stories and the first twelve resulted in this e-book. 
You will meet people like John and Susan, Roger and Ingrid who live through happy, funny or dubious times.  And no doubt they will remind you of people you met before: “Oh, John, do you remember that woman near the harbour in….” 
 We wish you pleasant reading! 
  “I knew it was fiction but when I finished reading, I wondered how the characters in the book are doing now” 
Annette 
 “All Sorts Of People is funny, intriguing and surprising” 
Krista 
 “The stories, a figment of the imagination of the author, are based on many trips with the motor home through Europe. Travellers will often recognize the scenes. A lovely book to dream away with”

    A darkly comic debut novel about advertising, truth, single malt, Scottish hospitality—or lack thereof—and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. Ray Welter, who was until recently a highflying advertising executive in Chicago, has left the world of newspeak behind. He decamps to the isolated Scottish Isle of Jura in order to spend a few months in the cottage where George Orwell wrote most of his seminal novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. Ray is miserable, and quite prepared to make his troubles go away with the help of copious quantities of excellent scotch.But a few of the local islanders take a decidedly shallow view of a foreigner coming to visit in order to sort himself out, and Ray quickly finds himself having to deal with not only his own issues but also a community whose eccentricities are at times amusing and at others downright dangerous. Also, the locals believe—or claim to believe—that there’s a werewolf about, and against his better judgment, Ray’s misadventures build to the night of a traditional, boozy werewolf hunt on the Isle of Jura on the summer solstice.

    'Persistently funny, ill-advisedly honest and deadly accurate' – Caitlin Moran'This book is a delight - very real and very entertaining' – Bob MortimerMusic journalist, self-professed creep and former winner of the coveted ‘Fittest Girl in Year 11’ award, Harriet Gibsone lives in fear of her internet searches being leaked. Harriet spent much of her young life feeding neuroses and insecurities with obsessive internet searching (including compulsive googling of exes, prospective partners, and their exes), and indulging in whirlwind ‘parasocial relationships’ (translation: one-sided affairs with celebrities she has never met).Suddenly, with a diagnosis of early menopause in her late twenties, her relationship with the internet takes a darker turn, as her online addictions are thrown into sharp relief by the corporeal realities of illness and motherhood.An outrageously funny, raw and painfully honest account of trying to find connection in the age of the internet, Is This Ok? is the launch of an exciting new comic voice.The audiobook is narrated by Harriet Gibsone and includes an exclusive audio Q&A with Harriet.'Very funny and deeply moving' – Sara Pascoe'Hilarious and brutal! I could not put it down' – Lou Sanders

    Bill Clinton. Bob Dole. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Newt Gingrich. For John R. Rose, it’s politics as usual. His editorial cartoons illuminate, enlighten, and tickle the funny bone. His is a special brand of political cartooning: hilarious, yet oftentimes poignant and moving.  In Cartoons That Fit the Bill: An Editorial Cartoon Collection about Washington and Beyond, he lampoons the antics of Pres. Bill Clinton and Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich with equal fervor. No Republican, Democrat, or Independent is safe from the wit and pen of Rose.  National issues are not the only ones he tackles. He also offers his commentary on local issues that create a national interest such as Disney’s proposed American history theme park in his native Virginia. Cartoons That Fit the Bill is just the ticket (no pun intended) to take a light-hearted look at the cast of characters in the political arena.
