A Modest Proposal and other Short Stories
Jonathan Swift, Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, was an Anglo-Irish satirist, author, essayist, political pamphleteer, poet, and Anglican cleric. He wrote A Tale of a Tub (1704), An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity (1712), Gulliver's Travels (1726), and A Modest Proposal (1729). The Encyclopaedia Britannica considered Swift the most significant English prose satirist. He wrote all anonymously under pseudonyms and specialized in Horatian and Juvenalian satire. Deadpan, ironic writing, especially in A Modest Proposal, has led to the term "Swiftian." William Temple returned to Moor Park in 1691 after leaving Temple for Ireland due to health issues. He became an established Church of Ireland priest after earning his M.A. from Hart Hall, Oxford, in 1692. The Diocese of Connor appointed him prebend of Kilroot in 1694. Swift, who called Jane Waring "Varina," may have dated Waring in his remote community. He helped publish Temple's memoirs and correspondence after returning to England and Moor Park in 1696. Swift briefly edited his memoirs in England after Temple died in 1699. His work alienated Temple's family and friends, including his sister, Martha Lady Giffard. Swift tried to talk to King William but failed and became the Earl of Berkeley's secretary and chaplain. He wrote many of his works in Trim, County Meath. Trinity College Dublin awarded Swift a Doctor of Divinity in 1702. In October, Esther Johnson and Rebecca Dingley joined him in Ireland. Some believe Swift and Esther Johnson were secretly married, while others don't. Swift, an influential 17th-century politician, supported the Glorious Revolution and was initially a Whig. The return of the Catholic monarchy and "Papist" absolutism worried him. Swift published The Conduct of the Allies in 1711 after supporting the Tory government in 1710. Henry St. John and Robert Harley often consulted him as a Tory government insider. In London, Swift became involved with Esther Vanhomrigh, one of their daughters.

Well, our dear friend Darian the hero of the story, after receiving the ultimate shock of his manly life (and ego), decides to find out who definitively has better climaxes in this fun, tongue-in-cheek look at the true power of THE MALE ORGASM (and the female!) From the Garden of Eden to girlie magazines to a place of indescribable, ultimate pleasure (and teaching), our adventurous and brave star finds himself amusingly journeying into the mysteries of male possibilities that are promised to him, against all his fears, and especially his preconceived notions of just being a regular guy.

His obsessive, crazy desire to know and experience for sure drives him, and us, forward to a climatic (pardon the pun) conclusion. So, guys, can you conquer ANY fear of finding out? Girls, is the exclusive club no longer exclusive? And finally, and unexpectedly, Darian sees True Diversity of open and honest, accepting people he never knew possible, and learns to accept and respect the beautiful differences and similarities of a new and exhilarating, yet still secret culture. Plus, aren't you just a little curious and want to know who really does have better orgasms? Of what can truly be achieved? So, join Darian on his intrepid yet hilariously naughty adventure into the here-to-fore unknown world most guys never dream of! This book is dedicated to discovery and diversity.

Life is Like... is a personal perspective on people's everyday behaviour, traits, and foibles. Sometimes autobiographical and occasionally blunt, hopefully amusing and always real, this is a social commentary through observation of people, looking both inward and outward. Life is Like... is an unselfconscious look at relationships, addictions, good versus bad, racism, arrogance, dream-crushing, painful nostalgia, unreasonable behaviour, debilitating habits, breaking habits, internet heroism, weight loss et al., where everything is discussed with refreshing honesty and relates to real life. You might find yourself in here somewhere. Life is Like... reflects the world we live in, recalls the past, and is both serious and playful. It is underpinned by a genuine yearning for a better world, which it so could be.
