Book excerpt: Daisy the Dumpster Dog [FREE eBook, #satire #audiobooks #courtreform #originalism] - a Sordid Tale of Dystopian Hubris and Convenient Canine Rationalizations (But Not a Supreme Court Satire or Parody) by Blade Cort; Book 7 of 7 in the Predictable Paths series. "A Parody of Supreme Proportions! If this is the current state of legal satire, then woe be the system that engenders such drool." Daisy is enjoying a great day, anxiously awaiting the afternoon's dumpster Delights. What? Wait a second. This is where 'Rat Dog' gimps-in from nowhere and sarcastically knocks her oversized ears and stub tail, then treats her friends with equal impertinence. And that's not all. The scrawny, half-breed chihuahua demands his fair share of Delights, angering the lofty purebreds who claim first dibs over lowly mongrels like himself. Perhaps Daisy and friends should collar this impudent, irascible ingrate before he draws them into big trouble with the pedigreed perennial powers that be. Yet the sniveling rat fears nothing and is determined to tussle with the snootiest snouts in the land. Will he succeed - or get popped like the troublesome tick that he is? https://bladecort.com #satire #audiobooks #supremecourtsatire PREDICTABLE PATHS episodes, in sequential order: 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this "briskly entertaining" (New York Times Book Review), "transporting and wholly original" (People Magazine) novel, one man banishes himself to a solitary life in the Arctic Circle, and is saved by good friends, a loyal dog, and a surprise visit that changes everything. In 1916, Sven Ormson leaves a restless life in Stockholm to seek adventure in Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago where darkness reigns four months of the year and he might witness the splendor of the Northern Lights one night and be attacked by a polar bear the next. But his time as a miner ends when an avalanche nearly kills him, leaving him disfigured, and Sven flees even further, to an uninhabited fjord. There, with the company of a loyal dog, he builds a hut and lives alone, testing himself against the elements. The teachings of a Finnish fur trapper, along with encouraging letters from his family and a Scottish geologist who befriended him in the mining camp, get him through his first winter. Years into his routine isolation, the arrival of an unlikely visitor salves his loneliness, sparking a chain of surprising events that will bring Sven into a family of fellow castoffs and determine the course of the rest of his life. Written with wry humor and in prose as breathtaking as the stark landscape it evokes, The Memoirs of Stockholm Sven is a testament to the strength of our human bonds, reminding us that even in the most inhospitable conditions on the planet, we are not beyond the reach of love. #1 Indie Next Pick Finalist for the Vermont Book Award Longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize

Download or read book Nature of the Beast written by Roland Keller and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While searching for a missing pit bull, private investigator Easy Taylor explores the unsavory worlds of animal laboratory testing and dog fighting, uncovering bizarre genetic testing that alters the nature of beasts. Since losing his job and its regular paycheck at an Albany investigative firm, life for private investigator Edward Zachery Taylor, known as Easy, is going downhill. In business for himself—with no boss, no client, and no money—Easy’s car has been repossessed and he’s behind on his rent. Getting a referral from his friend, veterinarian Henrietta Van Vonderhueeks, Easy reluctantly accepts the assignment of finding Catskill sheep farmer Diana Hunter’s missing pit bull which may have been abducted for dog fighting. With retainer in hand, Easy immediately places bets with his local bookie who gives him a lead that takes him into the seamy underworld of dog fighting. Then, on an errand for the veterinarian to a local testing lab, Easy encounters the bizarre genetic research being conducted there by Dr. Phyllis Steen. The two worlds converge in the lab’s secretive efforts at genetically altering the nature of beasts by transforming passive creatures into aggressive ones. Praise for Pardee Holler: “Easy Taylor may be the most flawed detective since Sam Pulsifer in An Arsonist’s Guide to Writers’ Homes in New England, but also one of the most entertaining. In Pardee Holler we witness a collision at the intersection of crooked Albany politicians, greedy Catskills developers, backwoods Pardee Mountain folk, and idealistic tree huggers. This book is a pitch-perfect homage to the down and almost out gumshoe, complete with a private dick who can’t resist playing the horses with his last sawbuck.” — Ray Petersen, author of The Middle of Everywhere: A Novel

Book excerpt: "Peter Zheutlin has written a lovely, moving, important book about a subject that is both heartbreaking and joyful." - Dean Koontz How far would you go to save a life? This is the extraordinary story of one man who has driven more than 1 million miles to rescue thousands of dogs from hunger, abuse and neglect and give them a second chance at life and love. For years, Greg Mahle struggled to keep the last of his family-run restaurants afloat in Ohio. When it finally closed, he was broke and unsure what to do next. Then a stranded van-load of puppies changed his life forever.
