Kim-Jack is about to invent the perfect pizza box. When one of his students is arrested on Christmas Eve, hours before they’re scheduled to depart for the frigid nuptials, he’s assigned the task of legal guardian, but the student has to be with him around the clock...even at a wedding at the South Pole.

“You’ve really been married to him for forty years?” Kelly sighed. “That’s true love.” “No, that’s called persistence. True love is when it’s raining and the umbrella is too small for both of you and your husband holds it over your head to keep you dry. True love happens when there’s only one toilet available and you both have to go, but he lets you go first even if it means peeing in his pants. True love is him taking the middle seat on an airplane even though there’s an obese person sitting next to the window whose flab is overflowing into his space.” Margie shook her head. “Forty years together has nothing to do with true love. A forty-year prison sente...

The introduction of a successful vaccine against Covid has produced the unintended side effect of rendering all gunpowder in the world inert. Every weapon from a six-shooter to an atom bomb is now useless. However, on a fifty-seven-acre island in the middle of the Doubs River that divides France and Switzerland, a dairy farmer's prized cheese spread has gone into short supply and the world is about to go to war over its loss. “Boulong's Cheese” is 70,000 words of spitfire humor, biting satire, and just what the world needs now that the end of the pandemic is in sight. It pits the Queen of England against the new, bald President of the United States, and gives the Pope a way out of a...

Against Stewart Goldfarb’s wishes, his eighty-one-year-old grandfather has decided to buy an alpaca ranch in Okaloosa County, Florida, and move south. However, his twin sister Kate, a geriatric nurse, would rather see their grandfather in a nursing home than a cowboy hat and insists that Stewart convince Grandpa to abandon his plan and remain in New Jersey where she can watch over him.

Their fears may be justified, as there are powerful people at work in Okaloosa County who want the grazing land that the alpacas need, and they’re willing to do anything to take that land away.

“Duke couldn’t blink. No words came from his mouth. Finally, he took a long deep breath, but the air in his lungs was frozen. His throat hurt when he swallowed. The more he looked at The Ghost, the more impossible it became to force his gaze in another direction. He’d seen those eyes before. He knew it in a place so deep inside that the feeling was without question. The Ghost wore an expression that no one could ever forget. It was the face of death.
