Book excerpt: A highly entertaining novel set in North London, where the Greek gods have been living in obscurity since the seventeenth century. Being immortal isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Life’s hard for a Greek god in the twenty-first century: nobody believes in you any more, even your own family doesn’t respect you, and you’re stuck in a dilapidated hovel in North London with too many siblings and not enough hot water. But for Artemis (goddess of hunting, professional dog walker), Aphrodite (goddess of beauty, telephone sex operator) and Apollo (god of the sun, TV psychic) there’s no way out... until a meek cleaner and her would-be boyfriend come into their lives and turn the world upside down. Gods Behaving Badly is that rare thing, a charming, funny, utterly original novel that satisfies the head and the heart.

Book excerpt: Growing up on a council estate and going from being bullied, to the bully, Danny’s life is set to go down one road, prison. Enrolling into the Army should have been the making of him, but after a traumatic event in the middle east, Danny had no idea how vulnerable his mind could be as he tries to tell his story of events that leads him down a rabbit hole of alien abduction and conspiracies he could never have imagined existed. “Hi, my name is Danny Bridges, and I can tell you one thing. Do not believe a word anyone tells you about aliens unless it is, they are real because from what I have just experienced I never thought they could mess up my life like they have. I am the one you see. They want people like me who have that certain extra intelligence like I have. Got me locked up but that is only the half of it as I will try to explain it to you. The world is under threat and these alien geezers want change to come and for people like me, young and prime to do their bidding once they have brainwashed me, but I am not having it. I will fight to the last breath to stop this happening and if I were you, I’d be careful who you trust because they could be knocking on your door next. I thought I was just a nobody once. A council estate lad from Tameworth with nothing more than my streets to get me by. What a joke that is. Why they wanted me I will explain because I am as sane as you guys. I am not a psychopath or multiple personality dood, I am a regular guy going about his life until this alien stuff kicked off as I will explain. We are not alone guys and once you read my account of the events so far, you had better look over your shoulder the next time you think you are being watched. Because you probably are being watched but not by government bods, by Aliens who want to take over your mind as they are trying to take over mine.”
Download or read book 108 Stitches written by Ron Darling and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is New York Times bestselling author and Emmy-nominated broadcaster Ron Darling's 108 baseball anecdotes that connect America’s game to the men who played it. In 108 Stitches, New York Times bestselling author and Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Ron Darling offers his own take on the "six degrees of separation" game and knits together wild, wise, and wistful stories reflecting the full arc of a life in and around our national pastime. Darling has played with or reported on just about everybody who has put on a uniform since 1983, and they in turn have played with or reported on just about everybody who put on a uniform in a previous generation. Through relationships with baseball legends on and off the field, like Yale coach Smoky Joe Wood, Willie Mays, Bart Giamatti, Tom Seaver and Mickey Mantle, Darling's reminiscences reach all the way back to Babe Ruth and other early twentieth-century greats. Like the 108 stitches on a baseball, Darling's experiences are interwoven with every athlete who has ever played, every coach or manager who ever sat in a dugout, and every fan who ever played hooky from work or school to sit in the bleachers for a day game. Darling's anecdotes come together to tell the story of his time in the game, and the story of the game itself.

But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who knows something about what it’s like to live without the feed-and about resisting its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires.
