This is a parody of prairie romances. I’ve only included the first chapter because I don’t want to write another one unless someone really wants me to. I don’t mind because they amuse me, but if you want more of the same, you’ll need to let me know through Amazon or, better yet, through Bardandbook.com.
Jolene, who just lost her father, is being pressured by the Mayor to either sell him the dirt farm or marry him. After rejecting the Mayor’s advances, she is saved at the last minute by the handsome stranger known as Hank.

I was watching the Hallmark Channel and found that most every Christmas movie had some serious clichés in common. I thought to myself that I could do just as well or, at the very least come up with a decent parody of the genre. So, I wrote a parody of a Christmas story.
In it, we find Holly Clause, a Big City executive being called back to her small hometown because of the death of her mother. Soon, she is pairing off against the town’s grinch, one O. M. Potter. The sparks and insanity begin to fly as Holy comes up with a scheme to win back Christmas from the old miser.

Ever wanted your own personal army of undead slaves? Have you ever been laughed at, scoffed at, or called eccentric, mad or just plain crazy? Then this book is for you.
We know that today’s “mad” scientist has limited funds and may be working with a restricted budget. But lack of funding should not be a deterrent to your dreams. Even if you can’t have all shiny new beakers and electrodes like those Yale sissies, you should be able to get a reasonably priced chemistry set from your local thrift store.
There are many ways that today’s mad scientist can save and still not place his dreams of world domination in the corner to rot. This is a book full of fun hints and tricks that should guarantee a slight modicum of success for any wannabe mad scientist.

Suzie Phipps and her brother Cleotus are in a world of trouble. Actually, they’re in an alternate-reality, Alice-in-Wonderland-on-steroids world of trouble.
The siblings have their lives turned inside out when an overweight fairy appears and shoots them to a different world: a world of underwear trees, rivers of lard, and into the pages of The Trouble with Bricks. Once there, they are befriended by a leprechaun hunter named Frank, a sasquatch named Melvin, and Frank’s Colon, an organ with arms, legs and a serious attitude problem.
Suzie and Cleotus learn that the only chance to return to their world is to seek the wisdom of the mysterious and enchanted Mr. Wilson, CPA. The wizardly accountant points the way to a path that is fraught with danger and annoying trials. But behind each obstacle lies the malevolent presence of Bricks, evil jazz player and deranged lunatic. As they progress through this unwholesome and repulsive world, braving the Blue Toupee Forest, triumphing past the Three Trials, eating the famed tacos of Hooja’s Magical Oasis, they get closer and closer to their goal and further from any sense of normalcy.
This parody of fantasy novels is loaded with humor, odd characters and unusual situations that is a mix of Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and Monty Python.
