Chaucer is a lovable little dog who shares his adventures with the children. They quickly identify with the little dog because his adventures are very similar to theirs. In CHAUCER GOES TO THE DOCTOR, Chaucer takes the children to the animal hospital when he goes for his annual checkup. While they are there, they learn many interesting things. Perhaps the most interesting is that when a pet goes to their veterinarian, it is very similar to when a child goes to his or her pediatrician.

This book is about a group of seasoned teachers quite dedicated to their profession but also having limitless humor in their every day activities. This book consists of the memories of some of the teachers that spent 15 years or more teaching at a Junior High School in Williamsburg Brooklyn. When not in the classroom they gathered in the second floor teachers' lounge which was to be called "The Bums Room". These guys spent hours being entertained and unwinding in that bums room. Since retiring many of the bums stayed connected talking on the phone and socializing with each other in various size groups. No matter where or how we were together, the conversation steered to many individual bums, their antics and personalities. During every conversation one of us would blurt out, there should be a book about the bums room, but who's gonna believe it?

If you need to escape the problems of the day, open this book and start a journey into absurdity. Whit Whitley, a creative screenwriter and open-mike comedy performer who has performed in numerous film and theater productions, shares a compilation of his open mike monologues presented in character. You'll be entertained by a series on his comic travels, which have taken him to various destinations. His anecdotal stories will have your mind so redirected with extreme zaniness that you will have to take a break before going back to work. The author's situational comedies will also have you wondering where in the world he came up with such crazy stories. His parody songs, altered poems, and his monologues will delight anyone with a sense of humor. Today, however, even the great Groucho Marx, who never used profanity, would be criticized by some for his humor and banter. So, if this analogy applies to you, put down this book because others will be laughing it off.

This theatrical Romantic Comedy tells the story of NIKKI JOHNSON, a young gifted writer from Salina, Kansas, who travels to New York City in the early 1970s to meet with the highly regarded publisher CHARLES RESTON, president of his own company. Nikki is laying it all on the line for this meeting hoping Reston will open a door for her in pursuing her dream of becoming a novelist. Moving in with ANITA JOHNSON, a high fashion graphic designer in her early 30s, works perfectly for Nikki's plans. That is, until Nikki unexpectedly falls for Anita's boyfriend JAKE ROTHMAN. Nikki is on the ropes and is forced to choose between possibly the love of her life and a professional writing career, in a time when women were forced to choose between a career or a personal life. There is humor and pathos in this love triangle. (Finalist Panowski/Forest Roberts Theatre Award and presented in the Norris Theatre New Play Discovery Series.)

No man since Jesus Christ has generated more religious interest than Joseph Smith - the founder of Christ's restored New Testament Church, who claimed he was called of God and ordained by divine messengers, including Peter, James and John, as directed by Jesus Christ.On its face, this is astonishing information! If God did give revelation, that means there is a God, and his message is vital for this world.Consequently, it is incumbent upon every person on this earth - bar none - to know that message and be responsible for its application. Christ did say: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life." John 10:27-28.There was a message, and it was prophesied in Isaiah 29, beginning with verse 12: "And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people.""And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of darkness. The meek shall increase their joy in the Lord, and they shall come to understanding, and they shall learn doctrine."The fulfillment of this scripture is that In 1820 near Palmyra, in upper state New York, a lad of 14 named Joseph Smith wanted to know which of all the congregations he should join from among the many churches and their ministers, who vied for converts in that region.Joseph went to the woods to ask in prayer, as to which religion he should join. There he received a vision from God and his Son, Jesus Christ, who told him that none of the churches were true, because they only taught the doctrines and commandments of men.Joseph was also told that other heavenly messengers would assist him to restore God's New Testament gospel. Also prophesied as quoted above, is that a particular book would come forth.However, the receiver would not be 'learned', yet the 'deaf shall hear' and the 'the eyes of the blind shall see out of darkness' due to the divine 'doctrine' of that book.Today that book is known as The Book of Mormon, after the great military general and prophet who compiled it circa 400 AD, in the land which is now known as North America. That book was first published in English in 1829 and has since been translated into 97 languages. Today, 200 years later, Christ's restored New Testament Church has over 16 million global members.The invitation is to read 'Joseph Part I' for additional information as to this historic topic. Enjoy!

A feisty 60-something woman and a spirited spirit solve a murder. After a cross-country trip driving an F-150 and hauling a vintage camper Mabel Gold has proven to herself-and her doubting kids-that she still has it in her. She's not sure what, but it's something. Brooklyn smarts? Or, perhaps, after transplanting herself to Florida, it's just sheer wacky-ness. Florida is full of it. But that's what she needed when she left her two-timing husband and his bimbo new wife back in Long Island. Back in Florida, Mabel settles down in her cozy pink bungalow where she can take a break from helping her new pal-Irma. To some people (those who can't see her), the former long-legged Las Vegas showgirl might be a ghost. For Mabel, who discovered Irma haunting her vintage camper, she's as real as real can be. After all, Irma sat in the shotgun seat all across the country. It was Irma who got Mabel involved in solving murders from Savannah to Nashville and all the way to the Rockies. Mabel has drawn the line. It was a long summer trying to help Irma do enough good deeds to get her promoted from purgatory to heaven. It didn't work. As Mabel sips her pina colada and watches pink flamingos, real and plastic, she tells Irma to wait until next summer. They can try again. If Mabel thinks Irma will let leave her alone to watch a Cuban cop on the intercoastal canal, it's Mabel who's gone wacky. Irma's discovered a new murder. This one might do the trick to get her on her way up to the pearly gates. If you like kooky mysteries, you'll love Mabel and Irma.

When his life ended and he was assigned to a job in the nether world, he wasn't too worried; he'd always found a way to avoid expending any effort and he'd do it now, too. He quickly found, though, that he couldn't avoid his duties.

The demands were unceasing and he badly needed a way out. Fortunately, he discovered an escape clause. Ben could rid himself of his obligations and make his days more comfortable if he somehow found a replacement. The Butcher of Souls chronicles Ben's search not only for a replacement but also for a return to his former existence, one of comfort and ease, of modest indulgences and everlasting peace.
