The Fringe of Kindness: Short Stories by Wolfie Brandt by Wolfie Brandt (9 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

"A great collection of thoughtfully considered short stories that will have you rolling with laughter to contemplating the meaning of life." (DF Review) "The stories will make you think, and tickle your emotions from all sides." (P.L.Lotter) 'The Fringe of Kindness' is a collection of the best short stories by Wolfie Brandt. They are written primarily for adults. At the fringe of kindness, one may find: humour, sorrow, love, hope, conflict, and the bizarre and surreal. It's a place where good intentions are often disrupted by fate or the unpredictability of human nature. These eclectic stories will tease your emotions; they will confront, confuse, test compassion, make you laugh and make you cry. They are all individual, stand-alone stories, however the author suggests that the first three (A Bag of Oranges, The Hand of God, Peter Schilling) are best read in that order. The collection concludes with a novella, 'The Castle at Nightfall', which was inspired by strange events experienced in a Bavarian castle many years ago. Prior to concentrating on writing, Wolfie studied and worked in film production, advertising, policing, and as a paramedic. He has travelled widely, and in recent years has taken on the mysterious art of parenthood. His greatly varied story ideas often reflect the diversity of experience within these fields.

Meanwhile, in Brighton, retired bank manager Harvey Britten is enjoying life with the three things he loves most - his family, the city of his birth and his beloved football team, Brighton and Hove Albion, (known locally as The Seagulls). His support for the team has led to a regular spot on the local radio breakfast show, which has turned him into something of a minor celebrity. It proves very difficult to find Bradley a suitable by-election until one unexpectedly occurs in Brighton. But Harvey strongly objects to a big shot candidate like Deakin being parachuted into his city and is reluctantly persuaded by his family and radio listeners to stand against him as a protest candidate.

Guilty Schmilty by Don Hough (3 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

On page fourteen of this novel, Bill Schmilty ends his marriage of twenty-six years in the most definitive way possible: by killing his wife. That should be that, but his night has only just begun. For he has the fortune (or is it misfortune?) of residing in New York City, the one and only Big Apple, where transgression is business as usual, disaster is getting comfortable in its role as an everyday occurrence, and the longtime residents are starting to react to tragedies like 9/11 and the recent smoking ban with barely more than a shrug of the shoulders (though they are more than a little miffed about the latter, understandably). As Schmilty navigates through the city in an attempt to confess his crime, he meets a panoply of eccentrics including coprolalic cabbies, spurious indigents, feckless mayors, indolent baristas, perspicacious potheads, genteel trespassers, saltatory street artists, incompetent cops, even more incompetent criminals, Panglossian garbagemen, and deranged jingoists. You know, typical Manhattanites. And hey, things are learned and revealed in this picaresque tale, one of the most fun (!) romantic (!!) comedies (!!!) to come along in a good long while. Guilty Schmilty is more than just the most astonishing literary debut to arrive on the scene since a funny-looking kid right out of the engineering program at Cornell started scribbling on graph paper. It's a paean to early-2000s NYC, TV commercials, late night conversations, fatalism, dogs, doggerel, and doggedness, as well as love at first sight, discovering oneself, living the dream, doing the right thing, finding one's soulmate, and other things we've all been guilty of believing in at one time or another.

Radio Waves: Illustrated Poems by Mary Pilcher (Opposable Thumbs Publishing) (3 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

I was born in Bexley, Kent, a suburb of London. I had a rather inadequate education at various private schools, leaving at fourteen to go to the Rambert ballet school in London for two years. I then realized I wasn't dedicated enough to be a dancer, and left to go to art school where I met my husband. Married at seventeen, we lived in St Johns Wood. We lived on one student grant from the Royal College of Art. We had two children then moved to the North of England, County Durham, for five years where we had another four children. My husband was teaching art at the local college. Finally we moved to Somerset, a wonderful place, where we brought up our family and I had various part time jobs as a wardrobe mistress, chambermaid, waitress and sometimes I held a stall in the market at Tiverton selling books, paintings and general bric a brac. All the time, poems were in my head and I realize now that I had been writing them and thinking them from the age of twelve. My poems are all based on experience. They all happened in one form or another. Sometimes the only way to express a thought is through a poem.
