Soh Dem Gwaan is the third collection of short stories by Joelle
Cohen Wright who continues with side-splitting and laugh-out-loud
stories portraying the diverse personalities of the Jamaican
culture. As the wonderful mix of characters speak in the rich
Jamaican dialect (patois), the stories draw readers into their
everyday lives as they engage in playful banter and contentious
disputes with each other. Readers can expect a humorous
interpretation of everyday Jamaican life among people from all
walks of life. Inanimate objects (such as the GPS) and animals
(such as Yaad Dog, Yaad Fowl, Sista Cow, Billy Goat), sustain their
humorous interaction as they engage in the unique style of verbal
expressions Jamaicans use to communicate their assertive
personalities - not to mention their brazen, take-no-prisoners
attitude Be prepared to laugh out loud.
"Five Little Zombies And Fred" is a not-for-children children's
book about the perils of a zombie apocalypse, filled with zombies,
a Mountie, and our hero, Fred. It spoofs the "Ten Little Monkeys
Jumping On A Bed" nursery rhyme. Filled with geeky visual gags and
Easter eggs, it is written and illustrated to speak to the child in
every one. It tells the story of our hero Fred who finds himself in
the middle of the zombie apocalypse. Will he survive with the help
of his friend the Mountie? Warning: Mild zombie violence.
This dark little book depicts the mental breakdowns of many
disturbed children who just can't seem to tolerate their peers.
They are listed by name from A to Z, and their naughty antics are
presented for your amusement.
This hilarious parody offers a guide to dating inspired by who
else? Jodi Arias -- everybody's dream BFF or girlfriend. Tips
include how to meet hot guys (hint: multilevel marketing
conferences or gun shows), dressing for phone sex, the basics of
stalking and how to make sure you spend eternity with your hot guy.
A riotous how-to guide You won't know whether to laugh or cry
The third adventure in the PAUL BLAINE, AGENT of COVERT series
finds Blaine and his partner, Danny Willoughby tracking down a
member of ITCH (Islamic Terrorist Clan of Hate) who has been
assassinating U.S. government agents at a frightening rate. Silly
situations abound as Paul hunts the terrorist and Danny prepares
for a Jacks Tournament
You've seen them, and maybe even read them: strange, offbeat news
stories that defy credibility: the young man who proposed to his
own mother, the fellow who travelled with aliens on his lunchbreak,
or the woman who exploded at a party. These and other possibly true
news stories, which first appeared in local newspapers, have, for
the first time in recorded history, been compiled within the pages
of one book -- sparing you, the reader, the endless, tedious search
it would require to find them by yourself, assuming you wanted to.
So sit back, relax, hopefully in a nice comfy chair near an actual
working fireplace, and find out what real America has been reading
about. You'll be glad you did.
