Assisted Loving: True Tales of Double Dating with My Dad $10.99 What would you do if your eighty-year-old father dragged you into his hell-bent hunt for new love? Bob Morris, a seriously single son, tells you all about it in this warm, witty, and wacky chronicle of a year of dating dangerously. A few months after the death of his wife, Joe Morris, an affable, eccentric, bridge-obsessed octogenarian, starts flapping about for a replacement. If he can get a new hip, he figures, why not a new wife? At first, his son Bob is appalled, but suspicion quickly turns to enthusiasm as he finds himself trolling the personals, screening prospects, and offering etiquette tips, chaperoning services, and post-date assessments to his needy father. Bob hopes that Joe will find a well-heeled lady—or at least one who is very patient—to get him out of his hair. But soon they discover that finding a new mate will not be as easy as they think: one date is too morose, another too liberal; one’s a three-timer, another just needs an escort until Mr. Right comes along. Dad persists and son assists. Am I pimping for my father? he begins to wonder. Meanwhile, Bob suffers similar frustrations; trying to find love isn’t easy in a big-city market that has little use for a middle-aged gay man with an attitude and a paunch. But with the encouragement of his father (his biggest fan and the world’s “most democratic Republican”) he prevails. In the end, this memoir becomes a twin love story and a soulful lesson about giving and receiving affection with an open heart. With wicked humor and a dollop of compassion, Bob Morris gleefully explores the impact of senior parents on their boomer kids and the perils of dating at anyage. |

Chaplin Goes to Tampa: A Story about A Curious Kitty Cat $15.49 Before I married many years ago, I never dreamed that I would write books, much less one about a cat. After all, I grew up with dogs, and loved every one of them. I really did not know much about cats. But that all changed when I met my wife, Jane Ann. Jane Ann, her sister Linda, and their brother Larry, had been around house cats most all of their lives. When Jane Ann and I were first married, Linda had a cat named Princess. As it turned out, Linda had to find a new home for Princess because her soon to-be husband had many allergies, including to cats. Since Jane Ann loved Princess, she asked me if I would agree to take Princess into our then new family. Of course, I was so in love with Jane Ann that I agreed to the idea without hesitation. As it turned out, Princess was not only a beautiful grey/blue lady Persian, but was the perfect cat. She was loved by our entire family from the very beginning, and especially by our two children, John and Becky. Princess brought our family much joy for many years. We were all so sad when Princess departed this earth for an even more heavenly place. After Princess, and similar to the fictionalized story you are about to read, along came our cat that we named Charlie Chaplin. Now let me tell you, Chaplin is not the perfect cat like Princess was. He is somewhat of a demanding and independent cat who gets into things he shouldn’t. We have all loved him nevertheless from the very beginning, quirks and all. The good news is that as he has moved into his senior years, Chaplin has slowly become more and more loving, albeit no less demanding. (He behaves like he should have all the entitlements of royalty!)Anyway, this male rogue of a cat has become widely known in the neighborhood. He wanders about in his black and white tuxedo kitty coat and displays his comedic Charlie Chaplin-like black mustache against the white part of his little face. He has fooled everyone else into thinkin |

Collected Stories: Volume II $14.95 The stories in this volume are in three sections. Retirement Stories are about senior citizens, such as a retiree prompted by a college survey to examine his past ( Mr. Maple’s Good Life ), a retiree prompted to think about human connections after a chance meeting with The Lady from Australia and a retiree who sees a chance for revenge when the ex-boss who fired him moves next door ( New Neighbors ). Left-Over Stories are those I couldn’t fit into Volume I. These include a story telling you how to make Money, worth the price of the book alone, and a trilogy continuing the story of the young man in Being in Love with Getting Married and Struggling On in the early married years. The third section has stories written just for fun, which I hope, will be fun to read. There’s a ghost story, a vampire story, a love potion story, a magic ring story and more. In the last story, Unfinished Business, a writer tries to outwit death. |

Creeps Suzette (Bed-and-Breakfast Series #15) $6.99 THE REAPER’S AT CREEPERSThe off-season blahs, a pyromaniacal mom, and a recently retired husband who is constantly underfoot have poor Judith McMonigle Flynn going stir crazy at Hillside Manor. So the harried R&B hostess leaps at cousin Renie’s suggestion that Judith accompany her to Creepers—the stately estate of kindly old Leota Burgess. The wealthy senior is certain that someone is determined to do her in for money—most likely one of her disreputable relatives—and Judith and Renie have agreed to look into her allegations. And when they stumble upon Leota’s bruised but still breathing body at the foot of the grand staircase, they realize the old lady’s fears may be well-founded. But the decidedly dead corpse lying on top of Leota—his head bashed flatter than the proverbial French pancake—suggests that there’s more to these homicidal doings than meets the eye. And now it’s up to the cousins to follow the clues to the creep who’s creeping around Creepers with murder on the mind. |

Excerpt: Henry I the Bearded (Polish: ; German: ; ca. 1165/70 19 March 1238), of the Silesian line of the Piast dynasty, was Duke of Lower Silesia from 1201. He was later also Duke of Lesser Poland and thus senior prince of all Poland – internally divided – from 1232 until his death. He was the son of Bolesaw I the Tall, Duke of Wrocaw, by his second wife Christina, a German noble lady. Henry was born in Gogów (Glogau), Silesia. He was the fourth son of the Ducal couple, and in consequence he had little chance to inherit any land. However, the premature deaths of his older brothers Bolesaw, Konrad and Jan (between 1174 and 1190), also given that his older half-brother Jarosaw was forced into an ecclesiastical career by the intrigues of his stepmother Christina, enabled him to become Bolesaw’s heir. As a result Henry began his preparations in the politics affairs under his father. Through his marriage with Hedwig of Andechs, Henry became related to the rulers of Germany, Hungary, Bohemia, and France. At the time of the death of his father, on 7/8 December 1201, Henry was well prepared to take over the government. However he soon encountered some difficulties. At the beginning of 1202 his uncle, Mieszko I Tanglefoot, in a surprise attack, took the Duchy of Opole (German: ). The ambitious Mieszko desired more lands, but this he couldn’t do faced with the opposition of the Church, who strongly supported Henry. Thanks to the intervention of the Archbishop of Gniezno, Henry Kietlicz and the Bishop of Wroclaw, Cyprian, Henry maintained his frontiers, although he had to pay 1,000 pieces of his silver to his supporters. Germany was in the middle of the struggles between Hohenstaufens and Welfs. At first, Henry wasn’t directly involved in this fight. However, … More: |

Maeve Brennan: Homesick at the New Yorker $0.99 Witty, stylish, and beautiful, Maeve Brennan dazzled everyone who met her. Born in Dublin, she came to the U.S. with her father, Ireland’s first Ambassador to America, and in her early thirties joined The New Yorker, where she was at the heart of the life of the magazine until she was nearly sixty. Under the pseudonym “The Long-Winded Lady,” she wrote matchless urban postcards for the “Talk of the Town,” and, under her own name, published fierce, intimate fiction.Today her forty-odd stories are anthology standards, prized by writers as different from one another as Alice Munro and Brennan’s own nephew Roddy Doyle. But at the time of her death in 1993, she was obscure, indeed lost: She hadn’t published a word since the 1970s, and she had slowly slipped into madness, ending as a bag lady in the streets of midtown Manhattan. It is Angela Bourke’s achievement to trace this sad arc, and to bring her compelling personality to life. Thoroughly researched, beautifully written, and filled with a wealth of previously unpublished material, it will be welcomed by anyone interested in Ireland, The New Yorker, and a woman who remains one of the twentieth century’s most distinctive prose stylists. Author Biography: Angela Bourke is the author of The Burning of Bridget Cleary, winner of the Irish Times Nonfiction Prize. A native of Dublin, she once lived on Cherryfield Avenue, the street that Maeve Brennan made famous in her stories. She is Senior Lecturer in Modern Irish at University College, Dublin, and has been a visiting professor at Harvard, Boston College, and the University of Minnesota. She lives in Dublin. |
