In our globalised and digitalised world, English has become necessary. It's simply complex, which makes us keep learning. It is impossible to master all its intricacies in a lifetime; even native speakers are challenged with the daily arrival of new jargon, slang, and formal words and phrases.This book has words of thoughts, thoughts on words, and words to laugh at that will make you a better conversant in English. Anaphoras, aphorisms, euphemisms, epistrophes, false friends, jargon, metaphors, etcetera are explained with illustrations and photographs. Reading it is a fun way to maintain your appetite for the English language.The late US author H. Jackson Jr said, "Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language". That's certainly how I feel. Bilingual and multilingual people are flexible, creative, and open-minded. They make me think and smile, such as this statement from an acquaintance: "Look at the round and red thing in my bras". (The French word "bras" is "arm" in English).

Ben French was an idler, a slacker, a lazy good for nothing all his days on earth. 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. He was stuck for all eternity in the miserable, soul-crushing role of usher, pitchforking the remains of other lost souls into the blast furnace of forever, into the gaping maw of oblivion. 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.

A humorous, nostalgic adventure story of my childhood in the mid 1970s.
On his 50th birthday, shy, handsome Brent Wallace-salon owner and avid fisherman-makes an offer on an old building in a northern Wisconsin town. He plans to open several small businesses allowing him to semi-retire minutes from his favorite fishing hole, where the walleye are always biting, and the resident crow keeps him company. But the building's owner, 83-year-old Grace Havisto-who has a life-sized Elvis propped on her couch and a doorbell that plays "A Hunk A Hunk Of Burnin' Love"-insists it must be re-opened as a grocery store, although the town already has one. Her "realtor," Dana Novicki-a pierced, tattooed, purple-haired Mensa member who dresses in thrift-store-purchased formal wear-is desperate for a sale, has clearly not read the realtor's code of ethics, and just happens to notice Brent's resemblance to Elvis Presley. After the building is his, Brent realizes he has inadvertently deceived Grace, but circumstances forcing him to rely on her generosity make it difficult to come clean. Meanwhile, Dana has become more annoying yet invaluable, there's no time to fish, and the one woman he actually wants in his life will have nothing to do with him.

Everything I needed to know at 2 A.M. - I love being a father and many of these stories are with my "father" hat on as my 3 children were growing up and another the musings of road trips, events with friends, and things I have done or seen at one point or another in my life. My Mom wrote: Well, Mark was a quiet child, he seemed to do no wrong but later in life he did admit he was not the perfect child we thought we had. I can see from these stories his mind has been up for a long time. He gets his sleeping habit from me so I take credit for that. We live in a town known as "Wide Awake Wylie" and the name fits both of us quite well, no wonder we moved here.... but he is a good kid and grew into a good man. Maybe this book will help put some people to sleep easier in the evenings and laugh a bit.

Nonna's come in all shapes and sizes, and have one great thing in common - their huge hearts, feisty, brutal, honest humour and unique wit. My Nonna is 91 as I finish this little book about her. I aimed to capture some of the essence of my Nonna; her quirkiest, funniest comments captured like a time-capsule for eternity. When sharing passing comments that she has made, I quickly realised that many people appreciate the quirkiness that is my Nonna, so decided to open this book up to the public for more to enjoy. The majority of this book was written over the past few years, when the world went slightly crazy, locked down and left me grounded in Australia, the other side of the world from my Nonna. Writing this book somehow managed to make me feel closer to her. I hope her heartfelt personality bursting through her quirkily expressed words bring a smile to your face, and warm your heart, because ultimately, that's what Nonna's do. My Nonna has helped to keep my heart happily heated for the best part of my 40 years, so now it's time for me to share a piece of that warmth with you, for your heart and mind to enjoy.
In this mash up and send up of the Shakespeare classic where the Bard meets Dashiell Hammett, comes a new twist as the job of exposing the King of Denmark's killer falls to tough talking private eye Richard Shamus, prime operative of the F.B.I. That's the Fictional Bureau of Investigation. Shamus handles the toughest, dirtiest case in English literature. He is by every turn of the phrase a fictional detective.Summoned by the King of Denmark who lives in fear for his life, Shamus arrives in 16th Century Denmark to find the King dying from "murder most foul." Before he expires the King extracts a promise from Shamus to find his killer and aid his son Prince Hamlet in avenging his death. There's just one problem. The King dies before he can identify his murderer.As he pursues the case Shamus falls under the spell of the ambitious Lady Ophelia, a femme fatale who seems to want everthing including our detective.With nobody pointing a finger, except straight up, Shamus focuses his suspicions on Gertrude, King Hamlet's beautiful and randy widow and Claudius, her new husband who has claimed the dead king's crown for himself.Shamus's job isn't made any easier by the King's irascible Ghost and, the always on the fence, Prince Hamlet who expresses no interest in avenging a father he hated.In this shifting landscape of deceit and deception, the only thing Shamus knows for sure is that something is definitely rotten in the state of Denmark.
