Bombing In Bingham

About Bombing In Bingham:

It seems to never be a dull day in the life of rookie police officer Paul Jamison!

Paul always wanted to be a police officer. His first step on the path to reaching that goal involved the role he played in stopping “The Great Cherry Bomb Attack” at his elementary school when he was in the fifth grade. Now, at long last, his dream was coming true. He was joining the ranks of the City of Bingham’s elite Police Department.

He knew he would have to work his way up in the ranks at the department. And he was more than ready to do just that. His adventures take him from solving “The Great Convenience Store Robbery” of a couple of candy bars and soda pop to piecing together evidence involving bombings that begin to rock the city.

Along the way he encounters a feisty old woman who thinks she’s saving gas by not turning on her headlights after dark to teenagers who call 911 over a dispute of what to watch on television.

But he knows, it’s all part of the job. And he wouldn’t trade it for the world.

The Weighing Of The Heart: A Cautionary Tale

About The Weighing Of The Heart: A Cautionary Tale:

I Went To The Apocalypse And All I Got Was This Codpiece

Hey, it’s me, your pal Thoth, ibis-headed ancient Egyptian god of writing and magic. Like any good narrator, I’m actually a part of this story. I’ve been infatuated with the bovine goddess Hathor since I can remember. The problem is, she wants nothing to do with me and my birdy self. I have my own way of dealing with rejection, but can you believe my brother Set is a frustrated incel who takes out his rage on the world? He’s bent on the destruction of humanity! He even enlists the help of ancient mummified pharaoh Djet to set off a plague that reflects the depravity of his perverted soul…

Then there’s Akins, nerdy human Scribe living in Thebes who finds himself caught in the middle of all of this. A man after my own heart, he’s spent his life devoted to his craft and suddenly Set’s insanity turns his world inside and out. He’s gotta put up or… well, not shut up. More like he’s gotta put up or die. Same goes for Water Lily, apprentice to the renowned Apothecary Safiya. She just wants to learn her trade in peace. But instead of customers and mortars and pestles, the former street rat finds herself to be the last bastion of hope in the struggle for the very world!

No pressure!

Thaddeus Clute: A Gripping and Humorous Flash Fiction Short Story by Karen Court

About Thaddeus Clute: A Gripping and Humorous Flash Fiction Short Story by Karen Court:

A well-crafted short story should be able to pack a lot of information into just a few words and sentences. Adroitly handled, the first paragraph should suggest a full, rich scenario that is rounded out by the reader’s existing perception of the problem that is revealed. The reader can easily imagine what is going on around the main character just from the few words they are given.

In this short story, an unemployed man desperately seeking work is forced to play a grim game of cat and mouse with his creditors, who are closing in.

It is a scintillating snapshot of the real life struggles that too many of us get to face at some point in our lives. The reader will relate to how the character is feeling and understand his actions and his responses, just as if they were caught in the same situation.

OOF: An Online Outrage Fiesta for the Ages by Strobe Witherspoon

OOF: An Online Outrage Fiesta for the Ages by Strobe Witherspoon

Award-winning novelist and cultural critic Strobe Witherspoon interrogates his own profession. It goes terribly.

“Wildly entertaining …Sometimes sad and sometimes hilarious, Witherspoon’s timely metafictional novel explores the ways (mis)information can shape public discourse in the digital media age.” – Booklife by Publishers Weekly

”Strikingly original …an innovative literary experiment that supplies a thoughtful commentary on the ‘discourse virus’ of our age …Witherspoon tackles a broad spectrum of media, including comically scathing excerpts from tweets, podcasts, blogs, and even academic journals and also keenly exposes the ways in which Strobe, the character, is implicated in his own online assault, due to his obsessive attachment to public life.” – Kirkus Reviews

OOF explores the role of satire in a society lurching from one ridiculous crisis to the next, where media outlets rely on clicks to stay alive and everything is filtered through a lens of anger and misinformation.

————
Strobe Witherspoon just sold his latest satirical novel for a lot of money. The book in question, FLOTUS: A Memoir, is a fictitious autobiography about a former first lady of the United States reflecting on years of misery at the hands of her much older POTUS husband. When a chapter is leaked in advance of the book’s publication, an Online Outrage Fiesta (OOF) ensues via news outlets, blogs, Twitter, troll farms, and everything in between. Witherspoon has his life placed under a microscope. Family secrets are exposed. Now, an anthology has been put together to document Witherspoon’s downfall—and settle the score.
————

”an impressive achievement of unflinching honesty from a noteworthy talent, as resonant and relevant as it is entertaining …OOF tugs at the threads that connect American cynicism with radical extremism and weaves a character-rich tapestry of insight …Each voice, whether of a New Yorker journalist or an Internet influencer, is rendered with uncanny fidelity. Perhaps most masterful is that key events are not depicted but merely alluded to, allowing the text to provide an elegant framework for a more personal story painted almost invisibly in the negative space.”– BlueInk Review

Alex Henderson’s outrageous comedy debut shows what it means to be a man with a small problem that just got bigger.

Much bigger!

The Day the Government Banned Bacon: The Last Straw Before Violent Revolution Kindle Edition

About The Day the Government Banned Bacon: The Last Straw Before Violent Revolution Kindle Edition:

You thought vaccine mandates were bad? Take our guns. Take our freedom. But don’t take our bacon.

Although this is fictional, it is based on legal situations people in many countries are becoming all too familiar with. The impotence of having laws created that seem illogical, rely on so-called expert advice and arbitrarily remove the rights and liberties of ordinary people. I say ordinary because in most cases – the corporations and/or influential people seem to be exempt to these rules.

This story shows us what can happen when people are pushed just that step too far.

The Business Proposal

About The Business Proposal:

Byron has all the professional merit of a published marriage counselor, but all too often his clients and critics balk at his one missing credential: He’s never been married. Julie is fed up with being single: her nagging mother, the unwelcomed advances from her coworker, the awkward set ups with weird guys she doesn’t like, and the occasional great guy who doesn’t like her. When her best friend hands her a newspaper ad seeking a strictly separate marriage with a stipend attached, they laugh, but later she wonders if it’s a crazy idea that could end her singlehood woes. But is she giving up on true love too soon? In this clean romantic comedy, what starts as a mutually beneficial business arrangement becomes an increasingly complex web of deceit, mishaps, ambiguity, and even heartbreak before Byron and Julie realize they’ve somehow put much more than their signatures on the line.

This comic diary tracks a reluctant homeschool mom as she guides her kids through the pandemic of 2020, when a few days of isolation turned into weeks and months. Download it free November 3 – 5, 2021, in honor of National Adoption Month.

Do your kids have some of the D’s?
● ADHD or ASD?

● ODD or OCD?
Or maybe your kids are just rambunctious? Or plentiful?

What happens when their schools close, and everyone on your motherhood support team is restricted to Zoom therapy? Krista Ehlers started a daily journal that gray day in March, 2020, when her kids were sent home from school for fourteen days that turned into over a year. Enjoy her family’s stories of smoke clouds and smoke alarms, adoption issues and special needs, an ambulance ride and a bike crash, road trips, and awkward new experiences.

Along for the rollercoaster ride of the Covid-19 Pandemic were Krista’s now-working-at-home husband, her teen son, her precocious 3rd grade daughter, and their aging Labradoodle. Friends and family make guest appearances in this witty, at times poignant, account of the slowest emergency in history.
