The Secret of Linden Court by Thomas Stimson (14 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

How far would you go to keep a secret? In a quaint European city so old that Roman coins are still unearthed in the back gardens of trim little houses, the single, thirty-seven-year-old junior file clerk of the City Tax Department thought he knew every street, lane, boulevard, alley, thoroughfare, highway and byway within the city limits... until now. Stuck in the back corner of an ancient file cabinet, Andre Kosowicz finds an old, faded street record and discovers evidence of a neighborhood he has never heard of: Linden Court. With no taxes paid by residents since before the Nazi invasion, he believes Linden Court has long since been paved over or bombed out of existence. To satisfy his curiosity, Andre heads to Olde Towne where, with a little snooping a lot of luck, he finds a bustling cul-de-sac of homes and shops in the shadow of an ancient linden tree. Rather than reporting his discovery to the city for recognition and rewards, Andre befriends a variety of colorful Linden Court residents as diverse as Madame Ra'Coone and her House of Fashion, gay gallery owner and art historian Szymon, the neighborhood's barkeep Franz, a former member of the Resistance known as The Alley Sniper and his hot-to-trot niece Sophie. How long can Andre keep his discovery a secret from the tax department, his bitter boss and the aloof college graduate who has suddenly taken a liking to him? And how has Linden Court been able to hide in plain sight for over twenty years? This Kafkaesque mystery set in 1960's Eastern Europe blends Woody Allen's romantic nostalgia with Coen Brothers hilarious plot twists to keep you guessing until the very end. Added Short Story Bonus! Glen Watkins, a retired American with a tragic past, rents a room in Stroud, England, to hike and explore the hilly, picturesque countryside. Stroud teens Darren and Ian find a loaded shotgun and decide to play at hunting while the townsfolk are at home watching the royal wedding on the telly. When Glen does not ...

HEY DOORMAN: inception to an anthology by Haji Outlaw (50 Reviews)    Price verified 33 minutes ago

The world's funniest bouncer regales with true tales of Los Angeles nightlife in the sublimely original workplace memoir -- Hey Doorman: Inception to an Anthology. A bouncer, or doorman, in the city of angels can be many things. But there is only one Haji Outlaw (if you haven't guessed by his name) and he tells stories in a supremely unique way, like Skittles wrapped in cleavage, safely secured in the beak of a 7th degree black belt time-traveling pterodactyl. Which is understandable knowing that he has written for The Eric Andre Show and produced music for Kool Keith, two enigmatic artists of note. In this book the author tackles Hollywood after dark in bars/nightclubs, intoxicated people of all sorts, celebrity encounters, not to mention his own sexual encounters of the third kind (wink!). Have you ever wondered what the worst night of the year is at a bar/nightclub? Who are the worst people in Tinseltown? Which celebrity has the biggest head? These answers and many, many more are answered in this literary voyage. Most bouncers have a personality and writing flair (not Ric Flair -- WOO!) that falls in line with their profession. That is not the case here as the author of Hey Doorman has garnered praise from some comedy heavyweights: • "Haji's a real one with words." - Jerrod Carmichael • "A darkly delight." - Fortune Feimster • "He funny and prison swoll." - Tiffany Haddish • "Haji is dope. His word, not mine." - Michael Kosta

Mothers of The Claw by Keira Rose (27 Reviews)    Price verified 33 minutes ago

AS IF MOTHERHOOD ISN'T HARD ENOUGH... Moving to a new town is never easy, particularly when there happens to be a hole to the underworld within the city limits. Angie, the new blood in town, is forced to leave the safety of her house when her daughter's blowout obliterates their sole remaining diaper. Equipped with holy water, garlic, and a silver knife, she hazards a trip to Enumclaw's grocery store, where a near catastrophic meltdown in the diaper aisle lands her an invite to a local moms' group. Angie's desire for alcohol and grown-up conversation outweighs her fear of the locals, and she decides to join. To her great surprise, she realizes supernatural mothers aren't much different than herself... aside from their struggles with bite training and night howling. No sooner does Angie find her tribe, than strange things begin happening within the group. Children are kicked out of daycares. Nannies go missing. Suspicion of a rival mom's group -- that just so happens to be a coven of witches -- puts Angie's newfound fondness for Enumclaw to the test. Drunken covert recon missions, undercover espionage, a psychic from the underworld, and even a trip to the black market, pushes her to her limits. Sleep deprived, over-caffeinated, and stressed beyond their limits, the moms' group bands together to take down the bitchy witches. But when the time comes, will Angie defend her new friends, or succumb to her fear of The Claw? This comedic Women's Fiction--with just a little bit of spice--celebrates the rollercoaster that is motherhood, and the mom friend's that help us to survive it.
