Bonk and his mate Hedz are an ordinary caveman and cavewoman
struggling with the everyday existence that comes when one's place
in the food chain isn't all that clear. If creating fire, dodging
volcano eruptions and outrunning saber tooth tigers isn't stressing
enough, their efforts at daily survival are interrupted when a
strange little caveman named Lob arrives in the village. Lob
convinces their leader, Chief Wug, that a neighboring tribe is
amassing weapons of mass destruction in preparation for an assault
on their village. As Lob gains more influence on their chief, the
tiny community of troglodytes must form an army and prepare to
defend themselves. But when this endeavor raises unexpected social
issues such as women's rights, religion and politics, the cavemen
realize they might have been better off if they had never come down
from the trees. Mixing slapstick and social commentary in equal
amounts, BONK & HEDZ shows how things might have gone had Fred
Flintstone and George W. Bush crossed clubs.
Werewolf and vampire stories are supposed to be gothic, gory,
steamy, romantic, emotional, angst-driven bloodfests with plenty of
bang and fang, right? Maybe, but WereWoof takes a less trodden
path, shining the bright light of comedy on these dark creatures.
Erin is two thirds vampire, meaning one more bite will turn her
entirely Undead. She's not exactly a fan of this, though her friend
Trug and his buddies Nevin and Slim are fascinated by her vampire
powers - especially that of resistance to acne. Meanwhile, vampires
are trying to raise their image in the community, asking for civil
rights (little things like the right not to get staked) and
offering such services as free and painless executions for death
row inmates, and assistance to physicians in certain surgical
procedures. But they are still intent on bringing Erin into their
vampire coven. Erin, her family and smart-talking bat-Familiar are
hunting the vampires to get them before the pointy tooth villains
can complete her conversion. Unfortunately, the vampires get to her
first, and now they've taken her to their lair for the final bite.
Trug and his friends strike an uneasy truce with a pack of
werewolves to find the vampires and save Erin, but everything
unravels when the werewolves betray them, Nevin and Trug are
converted into were-dogs and their bat goes missing. Now the two
were-dogs have to use their newfound powers of Kibbles and Bits to
battle the turncoat werewolves and bloodsucking demons without the
benefit of opposable thumbs. WereWoof takes the genre away from
romantic will-he-bite-me-or-kiss me, giving both boys and girls a
fun read, proving along the way that the funny bone can be stronger
than the fang. from the author of Fang Face and The Adventures of
Guy Here's what they said about Fang Face: "I loved this book,
fangs and all." James Rollins, Best selling author ."fantastically
funny..." Book Loons "This book sucks ... in a most delightful way.
Don't miss this gem.." Shane Gericke, national bestselling author
..". an amusing teen vampire tale..." Five starred review by
Harriet Klausner, Amazon's #1 book reviewer ..".genuinely funny..."
Taliesin - The Vampire's Lair "Fang Face made me laugh." Raymond
Benson (James Bond author)
Every Quest has to have a sorcerer, an elf, a warrior, special
effects ... and most of all, a sequel. So in the wacky stand-alone
sequel to The Adventures of Guy, Guy and his college buddies Knob
and Thurman take on a new quest... to save Earth from alien
invasion. To do this they must take on Big Oil and other insidious
enemies while overcoming their own leader's lack of faith in their
abilities. But can our heroes do this without their mighty warrior?
And with the impending invasion? And with Guy's kid-brother tagging
along? Winner of the 2007 Preditors and Editors Readers Choice
award for "Best Sci-Fi Fantasy" and previously published by Draumr
Publishing.
Somebody stole Seth's brain, not that he was using it anyway. But
now his brother Guy and college roommates Knob and Thurman must
take on sinister forces using only their wits, knowledge of beer
and an Amazon Warrior, whose breasts, like the Big Gulp, are too
big for the cup holder. Praise for THE ADVENTURES OF GUY "Humorous
fantasy at its best..." Armchair Interviews (Amazon top 100
reviewer) ..".persistently entertaining read from first page to
last." Midwest Book Review "Everything in the book is so true, you
can't help but laugh in agreement." Roundtable Reviews ..". a
ridiculous comedy..." Bryon Merritt, FWOMP Reviews. Named a "Top
Ten Novel of the Year" by Pop Syndicate. See why reviewers compare
THE ADVENTURES OF GUY to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Award winning humorist Norm Cowie is a father, husband, speaker,
businessman, ESPN addict ... and a guy. And as a guy, he wonders a
lot...and no, not just 'I wonder how she looks naked.' Though he
does wonder that. He also wonders other stuff, so he put his
thoughts together in a series of essays of what guys are like, what
they like and what they think about ... during those rare moments
they're thinking, that is. Some of these essays appeared in the
Chicago Tribune and Cynic Magazine (including three of Cynic's
'Best Of' issues). His thoughts on Guys: Guys who know how to use
tools and, (gasp) read instruction manuals, are not really guys.
Guys don't lie ... ever ... and no, it's not a zit on my nose, I
was bitten by the rare winter mosquito. Guys watch beer commercials
because we really need to know if they were triple-hops brewed, not
because there are scantily clad women prancing around. Bald guys
are the most macho of the macho, with hormone levels jacking our
manliness into the stratosphere. Why cleavage makes us forget ...
what was I going to say? And other stuff: Why don't clouds, which
weigh hundreds of thousands of pounds, fall on us (hint: they don't
want to) Why do we add salt (a kind of rock) to water to soften it.
Why do we buy air and water, two of the most common substances on
earth. Why do we expect McDonalds and other places to let us use
their restrooms ... for free... and we get mad if the restroom is
dirty or they run out of Mc-toilet paper, which they give us for
free. Norm's previous humor/fantasy books were "The Adventures of
Guy ... written by a guy," "The Next Adventures of Guy... more
wackiness" and "Fang Face," his first young adult vampire/humor
book. Reviewers compare them to books by Douglas Adams, Christopher
Moore and Dave Barry.
As if being a teenager doesn't suck enough. Erin has been bitten by
a vampire, twice. As she starts slipping into the dark side,
horrible things start happening, like pizza doesn't taste good
anymore. Worse, she gets outed as a vampire during a dodge ball
game at school. Her friends and family learn one more bite will
turn her Undead forever, so they arm themselves with stakes and
garlic to protect her from the vampires that want to turn her into
a coffin sleeper forever. "I loved this book, fangs and all," New
York Times best-selling author James Rollins. "Fantastically
funny," BookLoons "This book sucks, in a most delightful way,"
Shane Gericke, national best-selling author. FANG FACE made me
laugh, and I'm not a Teen. Or perhaps I am, but I'm trapped in a
grown-up's body," Raymond Benson, best-selling author.
