Why Does She Always Talk About Her Husband?
David Romanda's Why Does She Always Talk About Her Husband? is minimalist poetryat its finest-quick, punchy, and deceptively spare. Romanda stands on the shoulders ofmodern greats, such as Raymond Carver, Charles Bukowski, and Charles Simic, addinghis own offbeat, rebel playfulness, exploring topics such as love, loneliness, sickness, and joy. These are poems that beg to be read aloud and shared with others. Readers will recognize themselves in his clever observations and smile or even laugh out loud.

The FERD Files
These stories cover the almost 50 years I was associated with N C State University, both as a student and later as faculty. A few relate to my early years growing up in Tryon, NC. There is an element of truth/fact in each. I have added a number written since leaving the University and moving to Windsor Point, a retirement village in Fuquay-Varina, NC. Many of these stories were inspired by my new friends there. Several are based on some innocent event or act which would provoke little or no interest if re-told precisely as they happened. To these I have "enhanced" the truth, somewhat, to make them more interesting. I hope you will forgive my boldness. A few are pure fabrication based on a story I had heard, or some idea on which I wanted to elaborate. You may be unable to distinguish the fabricated ones from the others.

Little Green Men
Somewhere out there is intelligent life. They are not unlike you and I. They go to college. They play musical instruments. They use buses. They go to work, drink hot chocolate, fall in love and eat Sunday lunch. And that's just in East Croydon. This is a story about sex, drugs and rock'n'roll, except that there is scant mention of drugs and only an oblique reference to rock'n'roll. It's also about things that go "WHOOOOOOOOSH" and "AAAAAAAAARGH" and people who would be more happy in a situation comedy had they not been confined to these pages. You want to know what it's about? It's about 200 pages. Why don't you read it and find out?

If I had XRay Glasses...
Sergio Bossi born in Genoa, Italy, on the 6th of February 1964, married to Anna and father of three little rascals: Pietro, Giovanni and Andrea. His debut in 2007 with "Voices from the verb Bossing", a light-hearted piece, which pretends to be removed from reality, this piece was followed two years later by "My Three Men", a parody of a father in love with his three young boys, full of funny anecdotes and much more. With "IfIhadX-rayglasses", explodes all of the humor and the curiosity of discovering the truth which is often hidden even when it can appear to be in the palm of your hand. The narrator analyses more than just the desire to discover our neighbor's secrets, delving into intricate and controversial political issues which till now continue unsolved. Cases such as that of Aldo Moro, the mysterious death of Lady Diana, the assassination of the President of the United States of America J. F. Kennedy or the moon landing...yet thanks to the infallible x-ray glasses those events are no longer secret.
100 Things to Hate Before You Die
"Great, funny book. Check it out. I've got mine!" - Ronnie "The Limo Driver" Mund, The Howard Stern ShowYou'll be thoroughly entertained and in awe of how comedian Claudia Stavola's raucous sarcasm mirrors your inner most thoughts in this hilarious collection of easy-to-read essays. With her witty and insightful observations, she's like a modern-day George Carlin, except hairier. (Hey, she's Italian. She was born with a mustache).Stavola understands we're living in sensitive times and the word "hate" is controversial, so she doesn't use it loosely. She only uses it for serious infractions like gender reveal parties, guys who wear shorts when it's forty below, and Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina candle.100 Things to Hate Before You Die is astute, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny. Claudia shares her aggravation over a range of topics from mundane things like Fakebook, crappy gift-givers, and ukuleles on talent show auditions, to more thought-provoking topics such as adult babies, fake "girl power," and the death of Eddie Van Halen.Delivered with razor-sharp force, Stavola's hysterical and unique takes on everyday a**holes makes this not only a great read for comedy lovers, but a must-read. So sit back, light your vag candle, and laugh your a** off (unless you paid for one of those giant fake ones).

A Pinch Of Sage And Dredly
'A Pinch Of Sage And Dredly' charts the somewhat unlikely adventures of shiftless loafers Jedec Sage and Salokin Dredly as they thwart evil, battle the establishment and set off on a quest for comfortable footwear.

"A rip-roaring read!" The Billings Bugle "Not quite as bad as it could have been." The Duluth Chronicle Literary Supplement "Almost no grasp of leatherworking techniques - a real disappointment." Cobblers' Monthly.
