Author: W.H. Harrod
Pages: 398
Overview: 

Will Clayton - estranged from his family and former friends – sits alone atop a rest stop picnic table on a rural highway in central Kansas. A half-eaten candy bar, a bottle of water, and the hot Kansas sun keep him company. At fifty-five years of age, the burnt out and disillusioned modern day nomad questions his roving lifestyle.

Deciding a change is necessary, Will returns to a small town where he gets involved in the community’s problems and much to his surprise, starts to care about the colorful local citizens and their endangered way of life. An ensemble of odd characters join Will in his misadventures as they try to resist the rising tide of corruption and corporate greed threatening to destroy the town.

Will begins to feel at home among the locals, but will they appreciate his hard work, and accept him as one of their own?

Streams of Yesterday weaves humorous and tragic events together amidst a background of economic and social upheaval in a small Kansas farm town.

Trouble Insurance

Trouble Insurance by D.John Nyland
Published: 2012
Author: D.John Nyland
Pages: 81
Overview:

Several years ago, lacking empathy for ego-driven bosses, I decided I would be best off self employed. I thought long and hard about what a qualified CPA might do in a world that didn't involve bean counting. After due consideration I concluded that the only thing with growth potential was 'white collar crime'. I felt suitably qualified to deal with this, having worked for many years in an industry where almost everyone was one sort of crook or another.

So, to begin my makeover and after limited market research, I opened a small office. At the same time, despite lacking the financial resources to toss in my day job, I put an advertisement in the yellow pages offering myself as a private investigator.

Regular checks of my answering machine gave me nothing. After a few weeks, a strapping Scot named Gordon volunteered to be my first employee. Amazingly he found me a client, begining my investigative efforts with a whimper. From then, he maintained my business with his stalward efforts.
My next breakthrough, a change to the world of travel insurance fraud, was driven by my desperate need to escape corporate life. My searches for petty criminals, scammers and con artists inspired me to write about these shady characters who thought they could pull off the perfect crime. Some did, most didn't.

Along the way I discovered that half a million Aussies leave our shores each month, taking with them a complete ignorance of travel insurance. After investigating hundreds of claims I estimate that less than five percent were totally free of fraud, one quarter were totally fraudulent, half were severely padded and the remainder were only slightly exaggerated. Some defences of these claims may be useful to a reader planning a scam. Most stories are humorous.

Lost My Jock

Lost My Jock by Jonathan Techlin
Published: 2015
Author: Jonathan Techlin
Pages: 41
Overview: 

Do you like reading underdog sports stories? Do you enjoy stirring tales about unheralded athletes who overcame insurmountable odds to accomplish greatness? Do you need something to read while sitting on the toilet?

Lost My Jock chronicles the journey of an amateur wrestling legend who overcame humble beginnings to achieve absolutely nothing. He is the proud owner of several awards and records, including Longest Losing Streak, Most Embarrassing Defeat and Worst Haircut. He is remembered by sports historians for possessing “that special kind of magic that turns wine into water.” Some of the most beautiful women in the world have enthusiastically declared that he is “fat and revolting.”

This is the story of how I lost my jock. It isn’t a very inspiring underdog story. After all, it’s a story about a jockstrap. But it’s great for reading on the toilet!
