Shero

Shero is not your ordinary super hero, that is unless you consider a cross dressing super hero a part of the norm. But unlike the every day super hero, Shero battles more than evil villains. Shero battles broken heels, runs in his stockings, broken nails, and the scorn of the public at large.

In this first installment Shero finds the perfect black dress, a possible lover, a deadly shade of fingernail polish, some nasty, nasty foes, an internal super hero political war, and a narrator full of attitude.

Caution: You may find yourself yelling "You go girl!" which could certainly lead to public humiliation. You've been warned.

sounds fun!

An Embarrassment of Riches Hand In The Till

From Publisher's Weekly
"The Irish family at the heart of this hilarious novel is so tawdry and despicable, it's a wonder they don't kill off each other in the first few pages. Ursula's new (and fading) riches have strained many of her personal relationships, particularly with her sister-in-law, Fionnuala, a first-rate villain who concocts get-rich-quick schemes based on the misery of others, while her children find themselves in messes all their own. The Irish dialect and sprawling cast make the first few chapters difficult to read, but once the vulgarity and shenanigans set in, the novel is as absorbing as it is hysterical."

"A F*cking Masterpiece!"
--Colin Quinn, Comedian, SNL, Tough Crowd
"Wildly amusing...a cross between a roller-coaster and a carousel!"
--Olivera Baumgartner-Jackson. Readerviews.com

And please try the second book in the series as well, Hand In The Till.

"Comic Irish writing at its best"--Colin Quinn

Thanks everyone who has a look!

A comic fantasy about what we're like on the inside. (Scroll down for a free offer on this book)

***

...So I was driving to work when this suicidal lawyer called Keziah crashed into me. My spirit left my body. So did hers. So far, not a good day.

Captured, argued over, then sold, we ended up in a cage called Paradise.

This wasn't too bad, once I discovered I could use my memories to make anything I wanted. I created Osama's, my favourite Afghan restaurant, replayed a few cricket matches, and even tried to create a working model of my ex-girlfriend Caroline.

Keziah, meantime, who was never destined to win the Little Miss Sunshine award for being a fun person to spend eternity with, started constructing a model of her soul.

Shortly after, we found that:
(a) we were the guests of two evil spirits called Gaston and Leopold
(b) Gaston and Leopold were trialling some new temptations to restart spirit-worship among post-modern humans
(c) we were the guinea pigs but
(d) not to worry; all we had to do was go forth and build a life together in Paradise.

Then a snake appeared. Fortunately, he was offering counselling.

***

'Paradise - A divine comedy' shows what happens when we let what's hidden inside us, out.

Reviews:

'‘Hitchhikers Guide meets Screwtape meets Pilgrims Progress meets the Discworld!’

'This first novel explores some classic (and neo-classic) themes and sets the scene for what could turn out to be a Discworld-challenging series.

'You will find the Karpman drama triangle of victim/persecutor/rescuer, alongside cultural collision and metaphysical conjecture. Which all sounds terribly serious for a book which also includes a barrel of laughs and an intriguing race against time, with a heartwarming denouement making you wonder what's coming in the sequel(s).

'Just a couple of caveats for the potential reader. The first chapter throws you in at the deep end, and you have to get used to the author's style and sense of humour, and a whole new dimension of existence, at the same time. However, the trip is worth it (like for our hero and heroine)'

'Quirky, humorous and imaginative'

'Thoroughly enjoyable. Made me laugh. Made me think'

'Utterly marvellous. Very subversive...'

Thanks and good luck with the forum!

Thank you for this opportunity and here are the details of my humorous fantasy novel Few Are Chosen.

The Pan of Hamgee isn’t paranoid. There must be some people in K’Barth who aren’t out to get him; it’s just that, right now, he’s not sure where they are. His family are dead, his existence is treason and he does the only thing he can to survive – getaway driving.

As if being on the run isn’t bad enough, when he finds a magic thimble and decides to keep it, he unwittingly sets himself on a collision course with Lord Vernon, K’Barth’s despot ruler.

Unwillingly, The Pan is forced to make choices and stand up for his beliefs – beliefs he never knew he had until they were challenged. But, faced with a stark moral dilemma will his new found integrity stick? Can he stop running?

STIEG LARSSON Man, Myth & Mistress. All ebook formats $2.99, and 204pp trade paperback $9.99.

Stieg Larsson
Man, Myth & Mistress
who created the Millennium Trilogy of
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The Girl Who Played with Fire
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest

Is Lisbeth Salander a feminist — or a comic book avenger? Is her creator Stieg Larsson a feminist — or a prurient, violent hack? What is the Millennium Trilogy really about? Is it literature or vicarious violence and sex? Should Eva Gabrielsson be in charge of the Girl franchise? Should there be a second Salander Trilogy? Who built the Stieg Larsson myth, and is any of it true?

Best selling authors André Jute and Andrew McCoy wittily investigate the evidence — and arrive at the correct politically incorrect answers. They fix the blame for the Larsson scandal on… surprising people. Some Millennium fans will riot, most will be riotously entertained.

‘Jute is great…a private godsend.’
Ruth Rendell, The Times

The apartheid regime in South Africa twice sent assassins after Andrew McCoy, claiming his novel The Insurrectionist was a ‘blueprint for black revolution’ and a ‘handbook for the ANC’.

Like Larsson, André Jute has been a journalist and graphic designer. His novel Reverse Negative led to the exposure of the spy in the Queen’s household, Anthony Blunt. He is an acclaimed expert on the thriller, his Writing a Thriller going into three ever-expanding editions over 25 years.

Hi everyone,

My short story collection, Not Before Bed has just gone into print. There are the staple werewolves, zombies and vamps; then thre a host of unnamable terrors and horrors to get your spine tingling.
It's all a new editon with loads of new work and the weaker stuff removed for a much scarier experience overall. Anyways, I'd love to hear what you guys think!

Thanks for reading.

Bloody Scared
Edward Jessop is a vampire with an embarrassing problem – he faints at the sight of blood.

Traditional, Victorian vampire, Edward, has fallen on hard times. Forced to leave his long-term home in a disused crypt, he is offered lodgings with Kevin – a vampire of more modern but less gentlemanly and intellectual persuasion. But this personality clash isn’t the worst of Edward’s problems. In the midst of these changes, he has developed an aversion to blood.

A humorous novella.

I've mentioned this in the 'non-fiction' section, but I think its spiritual home is here.

Crutches For Ducks
Enter the slightly odd world of Phil Whiteland and slip back a few decades to a time when a John Bull Printing Outfit was the height of toy technology, when the telephone never stretched more than two feet from the front door, when every boy's knee was covered by a three inch square of brown sticking plaster and when a trolley-bus into town was a great adventure. This bumper collection of 'nostalgedy' stories (what happens when you mix nostalgia and comedy) coupled with some contemporary observations, guarantees a smile on every page and a chuckle in every chapter. Settle down for a step back in time and a giant leap forward in enjoyment, and if anyone asks you what you're doing, just tell them "Leos for meddlers…" (Complete with pictures - you have been warned!)

Memoirs of an Ostrich

Boris Temple-Parsons is an ostrich. Finding himself unexpectedly suspended from the medical practice where he works as a GP, he decides to fill these three months by writing his memoirs. As the memoirs expand to include the chaotic events taking place around him, it becomes obvious to the reader that his wife Bar is having an affair and his children are leading secret lives of which Boris knows nothing. As if all this were not enough, something is very wrong with his old car and the indigestion he suffers may not be indigestion at all. Boris can see none of this, and as he continues on his bumbling and gently comic way it becomes clear that his ostrichism is a lifelong characteristic from which he will find it difficult to escape.

Pike's Quest

It is the year 911 of the New Dawn.

In a future where horses are revered as gifts of the gods, and sheep and hounds are the beasts of burden, ancient magicks have been rediscovered. But there are those who wish to uncover the technology of the past and take control of the world for their own evil ends. Now, more than ever, the world needs a hero.

In the tiny hamlet of Ooze, a hapless, fish-faced, flaky-skinned youth named Pike is about to commence a quest: to win the heart of the fair maiden at the Pit of Zidor, and to release Moorlock the Warlock from the captivity of his mortal enemy. Accompanied by a garrulous sparrow and a belligerent horse, Pike is captured and then employed by the lisping Lord Nairey du Well in his sheep-drawn carriage, and then pursued by the deadly huntress, Scarlet Deadnight - du Well’s partner in tyranny.

Pike soon discovers:
- that fair maidens are not always female,
- that they can prove to be deadly foes, and
- the true value of a good moisturiser!

This comic fantasy turns the genre on its head and is a must for readers of all ages.

================
5* Review on Amazon - "I loved this book. At most parts you will feel like you're a bystander to the conversations and scenes that unfold. You're tempted to join and you catch yourself laughing out loud. For anyone who wants a good book to escape into a whole other world AND have a good time, then this book is definitely for you." Andrea Kurian

Das, a single Christian teenager from high school tries to pursue love with a very attractive new girl who transferred mid year, but faces lots of problems when his best friend, the biggest player in the school intervenes and pursues her as well. Who will win the new girls heart? Rumors run ramped and all friendship is lost when these two young men battle it out for the love of the popular new girl.

Meanwhile, Das' pesky neighbor (Stephanie) tries to persuade Das into going out with her sister (Jessica). What started off as a favor to Stephanie turned into blackmail when things start to go sour between Das and Jessica.

With drama lurking every where he turns. What will Das do and who will he turn to for help to escape it and yet still find that one true love?

Solitary Pleasures

The year is nineteen-ninety-five and Mattie, an original eccentric who lives on a decrepit houseboat called The Ark, has been in the habit of disappearing since she was a little girl. She calls these episodes of time to herself her Solitary Pleasures.



She is now knocking seventy and the family have gathered in the luxurious setting of her nephew’s large mock-Tudor house to discuss what’s to be done about her latest escapade – falling into the canal and driving home stark naked.

Mattie refuses to be bullied into behaving, but a shocking yet hilarious incident at an Animal Rights protest leads to Mattie’s arrest and results in her little dog Spike being wanted by the police. There’s nothing for it but to disappear again.

As Spike and Mattie retrace her footsteps of twenty years earlier along the South Downs Way, tantalizing her family with a paper-trail of Mattie's dotty poems, only one thing is certain, and that is that no one in the story will ever be quite the same again.

Travelling, Trawling and the Utterly Appalling

Deep-sea fishing, trawling through a cyclone, man-handling some of the world most deadly sharks and a strange yellow van! 'Travelling, Trawling and The Utterly Appalling' is a first hand account of a travellers fast-paced and unpredictable lifestyle over three incredible, action-packed years. The author details the life threatening dangers he faced hanging from a tree-vine 150m above a rock face, single handed, in Thailand to the more humorous account of his adventures around Asia and Australia. The people the author meets on his travels are almost as obscure as some of the situations he finds himself in. From sharing a cabin with a self-confessed gang member to living with a 'cougar' from Australia , the heiress to a electronic company's fortune! The book reveals the true extent of the hard work on-board a Gulf of Carpentaria prawn trawler. Renowned as one of the hardest fishing seasons in the world, the author describes the physical and mental torment of 52 hour shifts, deadly sea snakes, sting rays and crazy crew members. In-between his long stints at sea incident and intrigue are still very much at large... The book shows the complete polarization of emotions in three years on the road and the water. The ecstasy and joy of travelling some of the world's most beautiful places contrasts starkly to the vigorous, relentless work at sea in minus 40 degree freezers and a plus 40 degree deck! All in all, this is a light hearted and inspiring story of the opportunities that arise while completely out the so-called comfort-zone.

Hi Guys,The Banned Underground

A comic fantasy in the best tradition.

Take one Dark Lord, one off white witch, two teenagers and a dwarf rhythm and blues band. Mix. Wait for the explosion of laughter.

What could be worse? Having to take a holiday in the rainy Lake District with an aunt who turns people into frogs as a hobby? Or falling in with a dwarf rhythm and blues band led by a jazz loving BogTroll? Or battling a dark lord for control of the dwarf mansion and its enormous collection of used pizza boxes? Or is it being miles from McDonalds? Join the teenagers and find out...

A parody of the classic Pride and Prejudice...

Pied and Prodigious

'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a man in possession of a wife, must be in want of a good fortune.'

There is much excitement in Longlawn when two men with tall hats enter the district. Mothers buy new dresses for their daughters, fathers polish up on their fencing skills, and Mr Bayonet tackles the perilous journey through the stinging nettles to call upon the new occupants of Nettlefield Park.

The ditsy Jane Bayonet soon falls for Mr Blingley with all his gold jewellery, but her sister, the ever-prodigious Lizzy, very much dislikes Mr Blingley's friend, Mr Dicey, whose pied coat and tall hat strike fear into the local populace.

This is a story of excessive fashion, high heels, large wardrobes, tall hats - oh, and romance!

Humor Abounds in Every Scenario of John Henry's Newest Book "A Recipe for Disaster"
This book is a delightfully humorous and witty look at the life of Joe Henry who has a distinct knack for getting himself into impossible situations.




A Recipe for Disaster, By John Henry ISBN: 978-1-937004-70-5
Joe Henry and his wife Susan began their roller-coaster ride through life despite the objections of both sets of parents. Add their mismatched social and religious differences into the mix and you have A Recipe for Disaster. Their life is a journey filled with joy and laughter, with a side order of misfortune and tears. Joe has a definitive talent for getting himself into difficult situations, whether at home or at work. Susan is a long-suffering wife and mother who can put up with many things, but even she has her limits. Joe's antics as he avoids responsibility and glibly tries to talk his way out of trouble are laughable; or at least he thinks so. Cry with Susan as she deals with the messes made by her husband and attempts to keep the family on track. Set mostly in the Ireland of the 1960s and onwards, the Henrys are a unique and entertaining family that will provide you with hours of hearty laughter.

Joe Henry, a salesman with Irish Office Machines, greets some VIPs from British Office Machines with an abbreviated sign declaring “BOM.” and Dublin Airport is closed when a woman sees the sign, screams “BOMB, BOMB,” and faints at his feet. Joe is interrogated and strip searched, which goes horribly wrong for the examining officer, and finally released. Because the VIPs were coming to initiate a hostile business takeover of IOM, Joe gets a bonus instead of getting fired. At home that night, he drinks a bit too much and the combination of booze and painkillers sends him back in time to when he met his wife. This is just the beginning of a hilarious rollercoaster ride through the mid-1960s. You’ll love the unpredictable nature of Joe’s marriage to Susan as they are from completely different backgrounds, Northerner/Southerner, Protestant/Catholic, Working Class/Middle Class, etc… Humor abounds in every scenario throughout this book and we know you’ll enjoy it!

About the Author: John Henry is an Irish author living in Dublin and has had an unorthodox journey through life. Geographically active, he has lived throughout the UK, Europe and the Middle East. His careers have taken him from a hearing aid repairman to salesman and sales manager, to director of a large American software company, followed by inventor and writer. He is socially gregarious yet in many ways a loner; financially erratic but always optimistic.

Possibly my last publicity blast for this before my new book is released:

Blowing the Bridge: A Software Story
by Peter Bolton

Sex, drugs, rock'n'roll...we're talking about a hedonistic music festival, right? Nope, not according to the narrator of this tale. Instead, we're talking about an IT department, in the absurd (yet somewhat epic) story about a software project that was doomed to succeed.

Exposing some of the more ridiculous aspects of corporate America and the insane characters who haunt its halls, Blowing the Bridge gives the reader a prying peep behind the curtain, at some of the more comical aspects of working with the more colorful personalities in technology. Bitterly funny throughout, it also painstakingly recounts the struggle of a small team determined to navigate a path towards building something of excellence, despite a mine field of bureaucratic stupidity and the occasional mortar round of tempting prostitutes.

Recent review: "Not since Douglas Adams have I so enjoyed an authoring throwing so many seemingly unrelated characters and events at me. There was no point in trying to piece the clues together ahead of time, but at the reveal everything was obvious in its simplicity and honesty."

Set in thhe contemporary world ''Seth's High in High School is the story of Seth, a seventeen year old virgin who posseses the unique ability to have mental conversations with his own penis.
When Seth meets Layla, his best friend's sixteen year old hot sister, Seth and his boner both realize that the time has finally come.
Follow Seth's journey through his third year in high-school as he has to overcome such adversities as... well... other guys... in order to get in Layla's pants and find his manhood.

At around 8000 words Seth's High in High School is a fun, ridiculous story that can be enjoyed by anyone who loves ridiculous stories.

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that my new collection of 'nostalgedy' stories has just been published on Amazon Kindle.



This is the fourth book in the ever popular 'nostalgedy' series of books. However, you don't need to start at Book 1 and work through to Book 4, or even start at Chapter 1 etc., you can dip in and out at will, and it will all make sense.

Yet another collection of tales from yesterday and today, designed to bring a smile to your lips (although I can't think of anywhere else you would want a smile) and a warm glow of recollection…wherever you fancy having a warm glow, I suppose.

Here you will find a whole bunch of 'nostalgedy' stories. For those of you new to the concept of 'nostlagedy', it's a word I've coined to describe nostalgic articles where the accent is on comedy. I thought about 'comalgia' but I decided it sounded like something you would need to rub with liniment.

They say that strategy is something that is only obvious in hindsight (I don't know who this 'they' is, but they seem to say a lot of things) but it is certainly true of this compilation. I was casting about for an overall theme for the stories when I realised that, one way or the other, the majority are about transport. Of course, I've now decided that this was my intention all along!

Armed with an overarching theme, the structure for the book just had to be after the style of the old Highway Code, which I remember poring over, first for my Cycling Proficiency Test and later for my Driving Test (and have never looked at it again since). Do you remember the old Highway Code? It used to have separate sections for the different road users, such as The Road User On Foot, The Road User On Two Wheels and so on. Well, if it was good enough for the Highway Code, it's definitely good enough for me. Hence this compilation is split into sections covering The Author on the Road, The Author on Rails, The Author at Sea and, finally, The Author at Large, which is a catch-all description of everything that I couldn't shoe-horn into the other three sections.

In these sections you will experience, amongst other things; the dubious delights of flat, warm beer at 08.30 in the morning as you set off by train for Blackpool, the horrifying sight of three less than agile people crossing the M5 on foot, the three-year slog of endeavouring to learn to drive and the trials of trying to find a working cash machine in Malaga in the wee small hours. All of these stories, and many more besides, are yours for the reading.

Hello again

My novel ‘The Miracle Adjuster’ is now available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk in paperback or ebook for Kindle amzn.to/2bXKodT

Here’s a couple of cherry-picked quotes from the first reviews:

“…a journey through a psychedelic drug induced dream sequence; almost new age Monty Pythonesque”.

“The Miracle Adjuster exists in an Orwellian fantasy world full of off-beat characters, situations and humour. The writing style is excellent; the imagination is fantastic and it’s a very clever novel”.

The first weekend in December, and I know that a lot of people will be emerging dust-covered and dishevelled from their lofts bearing, triumphantly, the tree and ornaments so carefully packed away in deep depression in January and now making their long-awaited comeback. Whilst you watch the tree lean inexplicably from the vertical and the ornaments smash to pieces, can I humbly suggest that this might be a better pursuit this weekend?

If any bloggers, reviewers or promoters out there are interested in taking a look at The Miracle Adjuster please just send me a message.

Oliver Gant is a privileged member of the British upper class. Like his family and friends he is used to the finer things in life. The struggles of the lower classes and the complexities of the modern world don't really concern him so much. He is a very wealthy man living on easy street; but that doesn't mean he is happy or satisfied with his lot. His jealousy for his younger brother Jacob is a cause of some distress. His greed and his longing for recognition are also sources of suffering for the toff.
Oliver has a particular interest in Pitcairn Island, a little paradise in the South Pacific Ocean still controlled by Britain. Owing to circumstance and his connections to people in high places the opportunity to be part of a repopulation project on the island arises. He does not pass this chance up. Mr Gant is man of ambition. He has big ideas and an even bigger ego. Will he be able to realize his vision for Pitcairn?
This is a sordid tale of greed, corruption and excess set against the backdrop of a crumbling and decaying United Kingdom in the 2040's. If that sounds like your cup of tea please jump in and enjoy.
Content Warning: This story is not suitable for children. Descriptions of sex, violence and drug use occur throughout. Racist and sexist language is also present.
