The Grand Conspiracy Feature

When Fidel Castro sends his top assassin into Colorado's high country to kill the vacationing American and Russian Presidents, Buck and Dolly Madison and Buck's Vietnam war buddies are caught in a cross-fire of presidential politics, water politics and forced to make a choice between Duty-Honor-Country and allowing Fidel's terrorists to assassinate a President who "loathes" the military. After their private plane is shot down by the terrorists on a Rocky Mountain glacier, Buck and Dolly must fight their way downhill through a terrorist gauntlet that tests their love, courage and survival skills. If they can outwit the terrorists, they can prevent the destruction of the Lake Granby High Dam and save the lives of thousands of innocent Americans.

Postal Service: The Story About America's #1 Most Disgruntled Mailman and Another Look at the Post Office Revealed by Charles Bukowski in 1971 Feature

.   This is a story about Henry Johnson, an American worker, a letter carrier.

   He did his job and did it well, only to find that that wasn't good enough.  In addition to rain, sleet and snow, he had to contend with bosses who were unqualified, undignified and unscrupulous.

   What Henry discovered in the course of a long career was that bad managers were not few and far between.  They were everywhere. 

   Nearing the end of his career, Henry found himself contending on a daily basis with two individuals more concerned with keeping their authority--and willing to abuse their authority--if that's what it took to keep it.  They didn't mind hurting employees and they didn't mind hurting the company.  After putting up with their ridicule, harassment, and tedious interference for longer than he should have, Henry decided to take a stand.

   Sometimes Henry's behavior was funny, sometimes reckless, and oftentimes combatant.  He was always unpredictable.  His bosses didn't know what he would do next and sometimes Henry wasn't that sure either.  He didn't understand why some co-workers called him "Psycho" and at the same time he appreciated the advantage it gave him.

All-Night Lingo Tango (Pitt Poetry Series) Review

All-Night Lingo Tango (Pitt Poetry Series) Feature

This collection is a love letter to language with poems that are drunk and filled with references to the hyperkinetic world of the twenty-first century. Yet Zeus and Hera tangle with Leda on the interstate; Ava Gardner becomes a Hindu princess; and Shiva, the Destroyer, reigns over all. English is the primary god here, with its huge vocabulary and omnivorous gluttony for new words, yet the mystery of the alphabet is behind everything, a funky puppet masterwho can make a new world out of nothing.
