The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple: A Serial Adventure (in Collected Form) by Sean Gibson (Kindle Select Publishing) (42 Reviews)    Price verified 59 minutes ago

A bard walks in on a dark elf dealing cards to a beholder, a mind flayer, a demon, a grouchy-looking wizard, and what is either a vampire or a really pale guy with an unfortunate widow's peak... The set-up for a bad joke? Nope (well, maybe that, too) -- just a typical day at the office for adventuring partners Heloise, Erithea's most beautiful, witty, talented, and occasionally prone to talking in the third-person half-elven bard, and her powerful hill giant companion, Grimple, who doesn't look like a hill giant anymore because he made the mistake of crossing a lich and getting illusioned (yes, it's a word... or, at least, we're going to pretend it's one) into something even more ridiculous.

"We never made it to the Paramecietic system where the Daphnianets and the Amebanaughts have been fighting an ancient war for trillions of microsects. Maybe we should continue our search there?" Frac put down his yellow seasonal paper clips and turns with an excited look on his face. "I think that would be a most excellent idea! I hear they have a corn dog festival there this time of year, with all kinds of corn dogs - even ones made with real corn!"

Murder, mayhem, meet your match! Maggie Phillips hasn't had it easy. As the wife of retired Navy SEAL, and the adoptive mother of two little hellions, Maggie is constantly looking for ways to improve her family's financial situation.

One woman's determination to triumph over life's adversities, one sarcastic comment at a time... Georgia Leonard is short, optimistic and refuses to take life too seriously unless it is absolutely necessary. Her appalling dating skills ensure that she tackles life largely on her own, and with varying degrees of success.

When George discovers that somebody has been stealing money for her ancient Auntie D, it sparks a series of tragedies that take her family life by storm. Soon, she not only has to deal with a puzzling case of fraud, but also the emotional rollercoaster of facing death as another family member is diagnosed with leukaemia. As if that wasn't enough, after being single for many years, Georgia feels certain that she has finally met the man she's been waiting for. Why then, is he attached? And why won't he leave her alone? ...
