Tales from High Bluff
The third and final journey to High Bluff-a fictional town atop the highest bluff on the Gulf Coast-takes us straight to its heart. Twelve months. Twelve love stories. The kind that survive war, weather roosters (most certainly demon possessed), and circle back decades later to where they began. Coach Wayne Small traded a Corvette and a chili dog for fifty years with Miss Carolyn ... Bull and Miss Juanita learned what happens when a mean rooster takes on a prize Brahma bull ... Kitty and DT found their way back to fireworks over the bay ... Reverend Arbuckle's rodeo obsession that nobody saw coming ... and Stuart and James Reece's friendship that transcended Jim Crow in the scorching summer of 1956. Everything inside is sworn to be fiction, but if you've ever been lucky enough to live in South Texas, you'll spot the difference between the bull chips and clumped dirt.
The Valentine's Day Audit
Valentine's Day is widely regarded as a celebration of love.This audit found no supporting evidence.Instead, Valentine's Day operates as a high-visibility performance environment in which effort is evaluated, visibility is rewarded, and meaning is assigned retroactively-often without agreement or clarity.Inside, you'll find: - a breakdown of the unspoken performance metrics everyone uses (and why they don't work) - the most common failure scenarios, misread signals, and escalation traps - an analysis of where emotional labor quietly accumulates-and who absorbs it - a risk assessment of opting out, minimizing, or treating the day as normalThis is a work of satirical nonfiction.This book does not tell you how to celebrate Valentine's Day.It does not tell you how to fix anything.It does not issue verdicts or recommendations.What it documents is why the day generates disproportionate interpretive pressure, why outcomes often feel ambiguous, and why emotional decompression is the most common post-event response.Written with restraint, dry humor, and diagnostic precision, The Valentine's Day Audit is best read before February 15-though its findings remain accurate afterward.

Goodnight Sundance
Goodnight Sundance is a satirical send-off to a film festival-and a town-on the verge of goodbye. Framed as a dark parody of a familiar bedtime story, it skewers the rituals and contradictions of Sundance in Park City: the crowded Egyptian Theatre, whispered deals, influencer theatrics, exhausted volunteers, and films that drift from "art" to "content" overnight.Beneath the jokes and insider nods, the poem traces a quieter shift-how a scrappy, artist-first festival slowly became a brand, how local character blurred under global attention, and how the mountains stayed put through it all. Goodnight Sundance is less a eulogy than a knowing farewell: affectionate, skeptical, and fully aware that when the circus packs up, even the most cynical local will feel a tinge of loss.

Beyond the Spotlight
As Robin Skone-Palmer approached the mansion on Rockingham Avenue one hot September afternoon, she didn't know what to expect. "Ask for Phyllis Diller," the employment agent had said. Curious as much as nervous, she studied the beautiful house. Three-and-a-half hours later, she walked away wondering if she'd just stepped into Alice's Wonderland. Plane travel, foreign countries, celebrities, and television studios became part of everyday life-from "This Is Tom Jones" in London to the Glass Festival in Elwood, Indiana. They shared raucous laughter, mind-numbing boredom, and occasionally absolute terror. The work relationship became a friendship that lasted to the day of Phyllis's death at that same Rockingham mansion in Brentwood. Join Robin beyond the spotlight, on the road with Phyllis Diller, as she recalls her days working as a personal secretary for the beloved, ground-breaking comedienne. After leaving Diller's employment, Skone-Palmer became a "Diller Dustbiter," a term Diller coined to affectionately describe her favorite former employees. The comedienne even endorsed the memoir (before she died), writing on one of those sticky notes she had used so often: "Robin Skone-Palmer has written a book-it is FABULOUS!" Diller's son Perry also endorsed the book, saying: "I laughed a lot. What a wonderful, insightful, bright observation of a another time and place. You are kind and fair. Thank you for your service to my mother."

Mad About Men
MAD ABOUT MEN IS: - A (mostly) true, laugh-out-loud account of a successful executive single mother's search for love. - "Racy, raw, sometimes vulgar, always hilarious," according to a guy in Chapter 32 who actually read it. - An account of dating and sex from a liberated, confident, unapologetic MILF in her 40s. - A warmly relatable story, even though it sounds like a sordid, lustful tale of promiscuity (which it also is, the author admits). MAD ABOUT MEN IS NOT: - A self-help book about relationships. - About a woman who finds herself after some extreme, soul-searching, incredible journey. - A sticking-finger-in-throat sappy account of finding true love and living happily ever after. - Only for women to read. Madelyn gains a new perspective on relationships after a series of major losses (some devastating, some not so much). Root for her as she entertains each potential suitor and laugh with her (or at her) as she tries to make sense of what she wants, what men want, and what to do next. Whether or not you've ever swiped right, Match'ed, or flirted with the flight attendant, you'll relate to Madelyn's search for love and (hot) sex--not necessarily in that order. Go ahead and judge her, she won't mind.
Problem Child - The View From The Principal's Office
This is not a memoir, it's a sorta-was, a collection of 25 humorous short stories that date back to the days of the "unsupervised sixties." Problem Child takes you inside the hyperactive and somewhat Machiavellian mind of Robb Lightfoot, the kid who had his own special reserved seat in the principal's office. He wasn't looking for trouble, it just found him. He was president and sole member of Highland Elementary's short-lived rock-throwing club, a chewing gum connoisseur, and woodshop survivee. Robb's recollections are part truth and part tall tales. Learn why school is unlike Jeopardy! and why too much knowledge may be hazardous to your health. Some of these tales happed almost exactly as written, others are a combination of pranks, misunderstandings, and mishaps that have been combined. Still others are epic stories that have grown with each telling, and form a part of the Lightfoot's family lore. A key point in these stories is that usually, Robb is trying to do the right thing and getting it all wrong. His allies are a patient principal, a tolerant mother, and neighbors who have their own quirks. The stories cover Robb's grade school years, and include a cast of his friends. Just like in the TV Show Dragnet, the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Problem Child is dedicated to the late Principal Tom Lewis, who eventually set up an extra desk in his outer office for Robb to take his time outs, reflect, and read. Author Robb Lightfoot went on to complete his studies and enter education as a profession. He now lives, teaches, and writes in Northern California, and owes a great deal to the very patient faculty and staff at Highland Elementary in Oildale.
