Now, armed with some knowledge of the complex relationships that exist between both fauna and flora – all life with whom we share this incredible planet – what lessons have we learned?

Anu has a gift: her personal vibration is in perfect harmony with the natural world.

And that’s where the description stops.

BLURB: The Book of Power

 

The Book of Power is an epic 40, 839-word supernatural thriller that leaves the reader questioning whether achieving one’s desires is worth the price. It’s the Monkey Paw meets Stephen King’s Needful Things.

40, 839 words isn’t “epic.” It’s barely not a novella.

BLURB: This Is as Big as It Gets: A Story in Four-Letter Words, or Less!

This book is fiction and could fill several niches in the marketplace. Reluctant readers, those learning English as a second language, trivia buffs, and fans of Beatles spring to mind.

This Is as Big as It Gets tells the story of two boys who meet and pair up with two girls. The four of them then banter as they try to put the world to rights while coping with stepparents, sexism, abused parents, sick parents, a plague of rats, death, suicide, and a terrorist attackbut not necessarily in that order.

I guess if Hop on Pop isn’t weighty enough for you… (h/t PJ)

BLURB: Genre Friction: A short fiction collection

Here’s my contention: that it is in middle school or junior high when youth develop reading tastes for specific kinds of stories, often known as genre. Young children learn to read, hopefully by 3rd grade. Soon after, they develop a love of reading itself. They know how to decode words, follow sentences, and make sense of a plot, but it is also in these late elementary school years they develop an appreciation for story. Then, comes a chicken and egg thing. Does the literature itself start to divide into genre, or is it kids that start to look for genre fiction and then the literature follows? No matter, but it is safe to say, young teens know not just that they like to read by 6th grade but also the specific reading interests with certain conventions, described as genre, which begin in their teen reading years and perhaps last into their adult life.

There’s more, but I assume you’ve already stopped reading.

BLURB: Cat Tales: Da Real Pussy

Cat Tales: Da Real Pussy a journey that seem- by chance. But. I have come to realize that nothing is by chance. Cat Tales: Da Real Pussy to me that the spirit of a supreme being exist in all things living and can he shared when life parallel ‘s in one accord or a relative adventure transpires simultaneous in union with this supreme being. Cat Tales: Da Real Pussy reveals this reality through a special love that shows profoundness of this harmonious, co-existence with the supreme one. Cat Tales: Da Real Pussy also supports the concept that cats are creatures of myth and mystery. Those cats are affectionate, psychic. sociable and have variable personalities and attitudes and their behavior ranges from aloof, bright, courageous, lovable and beastly to downright bizarre. Possessing great dignity, pride and a lot of irony in their nature.

I suppose if you want to pay $12.99 for “a special love that shows profoundness of this harmonious, co-existence with the supreme one”…
