Mummery

Poem after poem presents a speaker unafraid to dissect the performance of a life in which every familiar story is rendered the strangest adventure. (Christopher Shipman) These poems are wise, genial, witty, and sharp as acid rain. They sing hard through American heartache. (Catherine Wagner) We're lucky when a poet's sense of humor merges with old-soul wisdom . . . . This poet, who, she avows, has "seen clowns from / both sides now." (Janet Holmes)
New Hiking Trail Cast Shadow on the Tattooed
"Raw, Real, and full of Fun." New Hiking Trail Cast Shadow on the Tattooed is a work of fiction. Born out of some fool's wild imagination. Told in wry humor, and a feeble attempt at poetry.

Yeah man, a Jamaica yaad mi cum fram, sorry, I meant to say, I'm Jamaican born and bred-okay? These well-sculptured, firm-bodied Cekko-warrior girls traverse diverse dimensions astride long-legged Zebra-striped beasts in search of the lost Genodes. Dishing out their brand of peace and passivity liberally along the way, not even special agent Shadow was to be spared. Yes, Shadow casting was a regular everyday occurrence in the Cekkoland sphere. Until he was force-pushed out and into the humanoid spheres, and now, look. Look at what they have gone and done...

Just Unfriend Me ... Or Not
"Just Unfriend Me ... Or Not" is a compilation of Facebook posts by author Stan Parris, who began doing the grocery shopping for his wife, Charlotte, after his retirement from fulltime ministry in 2016. After 37 humorous stories about his shopping experiences, he decided that a retired minister should probably be writing more about life experiences, many of which come with a spiritual message or poignant reminders that life on Earth is short and temporary. So, the book is divided in two sections - or really two books - one called "Walmart Words," and the second, "Just Saying." Those words appear in each chapter as he makes his point.Readers may find themselves laughing aloud while guiding their virtual buggies through their own grocery stores or Walmart Superstores in their hometowns. His inexperience as a grocery shopper becomes evident when Charlotte accompanies him on one of his adventures and grabs things from the shelves without consulting his "orderly" list of items to be purchased. He only thought he knew his way around the store before being "schooled" by his wife.While the humor of "Walmart Words" may bring tears of laughter, the "Just Saying" portion may bring the other kind of tears as the author puts readers on the podium with him as he presides over funerals of loved ones or reflects on the lives of those he has known and loved. His points range from, "don't litter," to expressing the need to allow Jesus to be in control of people's lives.Stan's first book, "Just Outside of Hope," recounts his experiences as a missionary in Venezuela and his mission trips into many countries as missions pastor at Immanuel Baptist Church in Little Rock. He retired as pastor of Second Baptist Church in Arkadelphia, the same city where he met his future wife while both were students at Henderson State University.The author was raised just outside of Hope, as his dad always described his residency, and surrendered to the ministry while coaching football at Hope High School. He later returned to his hometown to pastor First Baptist Church.

His columns, and now this book, have become must-read."-Marty Appel, New York Times bestselling author of Pinstripe Empire and Munson"Neil Offen's timing is perfect. This is the moment when we need a book that is this funny-Offen makes us laugh at subjects that are not supposed to be funny, which may be the definition of the best humor. Building a Better Boomer never stops and never misfires."-Mark Kurlansky, New York Times bestselling author of Salt; Cod; and The Importance of Not Being Ernest"Neil Offen offers laugh-out-loud-but still practical-advice about how to deal with the indignities of growing older, all the while trying to combat aging and aging stereotypes. This is a book for all boomers, and those who care for and love them."-Steven Petrow, contributing columnist The Washington Post and author, Stupid Things I Won't Do When I Get Old"I have often heard it said that there is nothing funny about growing older.

Western Australian Outback Dunny Views
After spending much time in the remote parts of Western Australia - usually with few modern conveniences - it became apparent that the views one had when taking the first ablutions of the day were often the best views one could have anywhere in the world. They were interesting, stimulating and sometimes just plain boring, but due to their perspective, they were different from the views one would usually stop to see.Unlike the awe-inspiring photographs of majestic places that you will find in a professional photographer's collection, the pictures in this book are simple. They were taken on a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone while sitting on the Dunny Seat in the quiet and cool of the morning. The camera was set on auto. The light was not adjusted, the colors were not enhanced and little thought was put into the angle of the shot. However, the author did get daring and sometimes used the panoramic setting.Each picture has a story - a comment or anecdote that adds context. Like the pictures, the stories are simple. Some are funny, some are ponderous, some are both. Within these, you will find your own gems. You will be taken to forgotten times and places from your own life that have made you laugh and wonder.Child-like in their simplicity, these dunny views are more than just nice photos. They are reminders that when we remove the walls we build and take time to sit, we become aware of the depth and beauty of our surroundings. Whether in the Outback or the 'burbs, we can rejoice that we are a significant part of something bigger than ourselves.

No spoiler alert for the surprise ending in this collection of short stories featuring a strong dose of the Yooper way."Terri Martin writes fast-paced little tales peppered with humorous disasters following one after another... If you live in the U.P., you'll have heard plenty of fish tales and hunting sagas from your outdoor friends. Some of them may be whoppers, but none as big as the ones Nettie Bramble tells." -- Jon C. Stott, author of Yooper Ale Trails"Roadkill Justice has to be among the funniest books I have ever read. Our heroine's ongoing battle with the law, the clever use of malapropisms and the caricature of a now-gone culture had me laughing several times on every page." -- Bob Rich, author of Hit and Run"Roadkill Justice's" unlikely heroine, Nettie Bramble, is rough-edged but 'big-hearted, with 'sisu' to spare. Author Terri Martin does a fantastic job of capturing the spirit and the spunk of the Northwoods character in a plot that sweeps her reader along, like a fast-running trout stream, on a delightful ride filled with twists, turns, laughter and the occasional explosion." -- Nancy Besonen, author of Off the HookLearn more at www.terrilynnmartin.com

Roadkill Justice
Nettie Bramble lives with her ma in Upper Michigan in a cabin that's slightly off the grid. She claims to "subsist" off the land and prefers to do so without the benefit of hunting or fishing licenses. Nettie is bound to have a clash or two with the local woods cop, CO Will Ketchum, and the chronically cranky Judge Nightshade. Most places that Nettie goes, her "citified" nephews, Wanton and Wiley, tag along to muddle up her plans. Nettie will meet up with Church Lady Bea Righteous, as well as Tami and Evi Maki (thrice-removed cousins) in an erratic road rally with a cash prize that brings out the worst in everyone. No spoiler alert for the surprise ending in this collection of short stories featuring a strong dose of the Yooper way. "Terri Martin writes fast-paced little tales peppered with humorous disasters following one after another... If you live in the U.P., you'll have heard plenty of fish tales and hunting sagas from your outdoor friends. Some of them may be whoppers, but none as big as the ones Nettie Bramble tells." -- Jon C. Stott, author of Yooper Ale Trails"Roadkill Justice has to be among the funniest books I have ever read. Our heroine's ongoing battle with the law, the clever use of malapropisms and the caricature of a now-gone culture had me laughing several times on every page." -- Bob Rich, author of Hit and Run "Roadkill Justice's" unlikely heroine, Nettie Bramble, is rough-edged but 'big-hearted, with 'sisu' to spare. Author Terri Martin does a fantastic job of capturing the spirit and the spunk of the Northwoods character in a plot that sweeps her reader along, like a fast-running trout stream, on a delightful ride filled with twists, turns, laughter and the occasional explosion." -- Nancy Besonen, author of Off the HookLearn more at www.terrilynnmartin.com

In the Beginning
In the beginning, there was nothing. At least in the Solar System, situated deepin the Milky Way Galaxy, that is. There was nothing as far as Yahweh, or Allah, orBrahma, or Ganesha, or Mirwxf, or Baal, any of the Buddhist gods, or any of aboutfive hundred other different names for whoever was in charge of a little speck ofnothing planet called Earth was concerned. The Hare Krishnas, the Mormons andthe Scientologists wouldn't join the party until several million years later.
