Mimi's Welcome to Cormac by Richard Average (3 Reviews)    Price verified 3 minutes ago

'Mimi's Welcome to Cormac' is a rare breed of Historical Fiction, told by an aloof narrator much given to understatement, humorously and ruthlessly depicting a couple who meet during the harsh Era of immigrants to America at the last of the 19th Century. 48 pages with illustrations in charcoal and pencil accompanying the text. According to one of playwright Sean O'Casey's characters: "to the Irish people a serious ting is a joke... and a joke is a serious ting"! Whether or not this is true of any race of people or any person, it at least reminds us of the all-importance of humor in our lives. That being said, I would like to introduce "Mimi's Welcome to Cormac", a farcical, at times hilarious romp from the wilds of Kerry to the wilds of the American west, at the end of the 19th Century. But let the reader beware! This short work is not for the sentimentalist, or the pedant. It is a mash-up of historical fact, legend and gallows' humor. It may be classified as Menippean satire. the Author

Fallon by Zoe Hart (3 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Fallon Five years ago, I was the poor kid at the St. Thomas Academy, thanks to a scholarship. Sabine was the rich kid at Bessemer Bay High. I never fit in anywhere. She fit in everywhere. She gave me a chance to be something more and I blew it. Like a woman scorned, she pinned the condoms meant for us on my bulletin board.

His hope is that the heartfelt offering will compel Bee, his Songbird, to write and, in so doing, sustain her spirit.
