Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian- Vol. 1
Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou is Seiren Private Academy's "solitary princess." She's a half-Russian beauty with silver hair, at the top of her class, student council accountant, and...completely unapproachable. For some reason, she's also taken on the responsibility of reprimanding the slacker who sits next to her in class. Masachika Kuze is constantly frustrating her by falling asleep, forgetting his textbooks, and just being an overall unexemplary student. Or at least, that's how it looks from the outside. She may put on a tough act, but she doesn't mind Masachika as much as others would think. She even lets him call her by her nickname, Alya. Anyone hearing the comments she mutters in Russian under her breath might know how she really feels, but since none of her classmates understand the language, she's free to say whatever she likes! Except...there is one person who knows what she's saying. Masachika eavesdrops on her embarrassing revelations, pretending to be clueless, all the while wondering what her flirtatious comments actually mean!

The Maine Caper
"I laughed so hard at the climax, tears were running down my cheeks." - Editor Review Harvey Gallagher just started his own consulting firm in Boston, drives a dented Chevrolet, and has a girlfriend named Sheila Whitmore pressuring him to get married. He never figured that soon he'd be hanging on the edge of a cliff on the rocky coast of Maine, staring up at a trusted friend who's trying to kill him. It all started a few days ago when he sees a woman steal secret technology from his best client, and the head of security asks him to play detective to help find some answers. The quest leads to a Victorian inn on the coast of Maine, where he meets a new love interest, endures a surprise visit from Sheila's society-matron mother, and goes to war with a backwoods cult of religious fanatics. Harv executes a sting operation to catch the bad guys, but it goes dramatically sideways when Mrs. Whitmore makes her entrance, and the cult fanatics add their own special touch of insanity . . . Will Harv survive the attempt on his life? Will Mrs. Whitmore survive the arcane cult ritual on the inn's front lawn? In the spirit of Dave Barry and Carl Hiaasen, this book will take you on a wild ride you won't forget.
Blackwood
A contemporary spoof crime fiction novel that centres around a group of Bridge players in an exclusive boarding school on the south coast of England.The story opens with six like-minded teachers at the end of their careers playing their weekly Bridge game in an apartment above a marina that abuts the school. During the evening they witness the explosion and subsequent burning of one of the moored yachts. As havoc unravels below, they hear that a woman was, more than likely, aboard the yacht and a husband is left howling on the jetty. The seasoned Bridge group start to sleuth, after all there is no tired old gumshoe in this crime novel. Their eclectic and sometimes eccentric backgrounds give them much scope for intrigue.Further deaths within the school sees the narrative romp along, revealing the underbelly of the lives of the teachers and providing a commentary on a type of modern education and the career opportunists that exist in these schools. The serious implications for the direction of modern education are never far from the surface. Much of the story's humour is based on the eccentricities of the various characters and observations of self-delusional behaviours. These caricatures provide touching moments that give a humane dimension to the picture while the narrative lilt is sustained through balanced phraseology, innuendo and alliteration. It is, of course, the Bridge group that solves the mystery. The world is thus put to rights and all can get back to playing cards.

Try Catch Finally
Try Catch Finally is a comedic non-violent thriller set in the industrial office complex of a contemporary IT mega-corporation. It is also an allegorical primer on systems theory.Ten years ago, Halleck "sold out." The fear of poverty drove him to abandon entrepreneurship, and seek shelter in the vast grey cube farms of a "big old dinosaur" technology company. Fear suppressed Halleck's ambition for a decade, and if it weren't for the mass layoff known as Chainsaw Friday, it might have remained that way for the rest of his life. At the first hint that his employer might lay him off at the end of the quarter, Hal immediately started looking for new work, eventually landing a dream job at a tech startup. All he has to do is show up on Chainsaw Friday, get his layoff papers, and chill out until New Job Monday. But against all odds, his current employer doesn't lay him off, and the non-compete agreement he signed long ago prevents him from taking the startup job. Armed with an underused degree in systems theory and his Generation X Survival Skills, Hal has only a few hours to find and defeat the salaried supervillains who blocked his escape from Corporate Hell. But Chainsaw Friday is more than just a mass layoff at a dysfunctional megacorporation; it's Halleck's last chance to reclaim his humanity and commit to a real existence in a world dominated by fakeness and fear.
