New from the
HuffNPuff Post: 5,280 foods that will make you fat if you eat too much of them
and don’t get adequate exercise.
A baby of some
sort was born in England. Jan Marshall (author of Dancin’ Schmacin’ with the
Scars) has not yet had my love child. (See my earlier TLA post: Jan Kellerman
Marshall Wants My Love Child.) This post found it’s way to The Sage News
Network, a Canada based Onion-like online zine run by Chris McKerracher and
others. Worth a look. Have your cyber passport ready. You’re going
international.
I cried because
I had no shoes and no iPhone, until I met a man who had no shoes, no iPhone and
no iPad. We bought shoes and walked to the Apple Store.
Shortstack is live (metaphorically speaking) at Amazon Kindle Store.
It costs the same as a
Super Grande Double Decaf Mocha Macho Cappuccino with Espresso Shot. Aren’t
you hypercaffeinated today anyway? But if you’d rather not help pay the rent at
my expensive four hundred square feet Brooklyn apartment, you can get the eBook for
free (That’s $0.00 in Amazon speak.) on Monday 7/29/2013. A prize goes to the
reader who finds and reports to me the most typos, misspellings, and grammar errors
I left in on purpose so Buzz Malone, Chaunce Stanton, Jane Turley, Marian
Allen, Phil Simpkin, Karen Wyld, Todd Grundel and the loonies at Google Plus’s
Literary Kittens Hate Agents will have something to do while laughing. Keep a
pencil and pad of paper with you while reading. Byron Edgington (author of The
Sky Behind Me, a memoir; get it, read it) is not in this contest. He has
already submitted his list of 147 typos, which have been corrected in the
version that is live now. If you are one of the lucky few who have an older
version on your computer, save it for the Smithsonian. It is a collector’s item
and can be sold on eBay. The paperback edition will be available soon. Have a
slice and a glass of wine and be patient.Shortstack is live (metaphorically speaking) at Amazon Kindle Store.
If you have any
money left over after reading Shortstack, here are other books to consider:
Blank Slate
Boarding House for Creatives by Chaunce Stanton (I’m 25% into it on Kindle; the
can’t-put-it-down point occurred early in this book.)
The Sky Behind
Me, a memoir by Byron Edgington. This is next in line for take off on my Kindle.
Silence of Centerville by Buzz Malone. Five stars, my review is on Amazon and Goodreads. Read this while waiting for Buzz’s next great novel due out this year.
Death Lurks in Cock
Muck Hill by Phil Simpkin. This is on my Kindle awaiting its turn.
The House that
Smelled Like Urine by Giovanni Russano (Todd Grundel). I haven’t read it yet, but suspect he
should rent an apartment at The Luntic Assylum.
Thanks for reading. Hasta la vista?
(The writing at The Lunatic Assylum is the opinion and satire of Timothy Hurley and has not yet been vetted by the NSA.)
