Download or read book Sheehan s Dog written by Les Roberts and published by Down & Out Books. This book was released on 2022-02-28 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former Irish mafia hitman Brock Sheehan lives quietly on a boat fifty miles from Cleveland. His “retirement” angered the mob boss and his former job caused the Sheehan family to disown him. But when his long-lost nephew, Linus Callahan, tracks him down and asks him for assistance, he agrees to help. A few days earlier, the nephew got into a push-and-shove bar argument with a multimillion-dollar basketball player just released from prison for running a high-level dog-fighting ring. Then the athlete is murdered, and Linus becomes the Cleveland police department’s “person of interest.” So while Brock Sheehan asks questions regarding the illegal dogfight community, the athlete’s crazed fans subject him and his live-in girlfriend to a beating, and rapes one of his co-workers at the local animal shelter. In his travels all over NE Ohio, Brock finds himself in Youngstown where he discovers the woman he’s loved all his life, Arizona Skye, who walked out on him years ago and disappeared because of his violent profession. Now she works as a TV news reporter in Youngstown and he hopes to somehow rekindle that love from ten years ago. Investigating the athlete’s former dogfight ring, Brock gets most unpleasant with the remaining partner—and winds up with a pit bull of his own, which he names Conor, after an Irish saint. And eventually, with Conor’s instincts, he discovers and turns over to the police the real killer of the dog-killer turned sports legend.

FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

Download or read book Brain Muffins Dream Puffs written by R. Hamblin Torney and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was young, my mother used to read bedtime stories to me, such as: Last of the Mohicans, the Deerslayer, Kidnapped, Treasure Island, Mody Dick, and my all-time favorite, - The Red Badge of Courage. “When God Whistled Dixie” is officially my tribute to Stephen Crane. He definitely inspired me! So has George Orwell, C.S. Lewis, Pierre Burton, and Michael Shaara. It’s more than that though. I wrote it for my mother, to thank her for reading to me. It was such a joy to write that I never wanted it to end. I served briefly on the largest municipal police force in Canada, straight out of highschool. I wasn’t ready, emotionally, to handle the things I was exposed to, and the career did not last. It should have. “Bringing Home The Bacon” is based on my own experience, but with things changed, just a little. I may not have had a long career in blue, but I saw, and experienced a lot in the brief time that I served, and there will be more stories, God willing, in future volumes of Brain Muffins, based on my police experiences. The last story, “The Secret Keeper,” is for my grandson. My son grew up loving comic book superheroes. He also likes horror stories. Neither genre was ever a favorite of mine, but if I was only writing for me, there would be no need to write anything down, since I’ll have read it as I wrote it. God willing, I will continue writing Brain Muffins, and in future there will be more episodes to the story that begins here.
