Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE GREAT ART DECO CHASE, part prequel to 2011s Nectar of the Lavender, traces our main characters relationships with the best and worst friends from his post formative years, including those also choosing to relocate from their small northeastern city to metro New York. If possible, there are more quirky characters and intense poetry than ever, breeding ground for more adventures than ever. As we learned in Nectar, he struggles to understand the passing of Jeff and Danny, and although his Malaysian-Caribbean friend Jimmy and Anglo-American friend Big Bad Bill fill in admirably, the balance isnt quite right, because across the verge, there remains Carol Gary, Weird Andy, and Dannys ex-wife Robin, of which more anon. And then theres Lauren, Kathy, and the rest of his social life, which is complicated on quiet days. Everyone would want to be him, and yet no one would. In a separate alternating side plot, or possibly main plot, we read of the story of Maury and Sam, two boys who became best friends in the 1930s, who parted as teenagers after Sams parents moved to a bigger city in search of better educations. Both seek and find their fortunesMaury as a specialized manufacturer in the Midwest, Sam as a charismatic composer and conductor all of America wishes it could claim. On a more personal note, this book is largely based on notes and correspondence from a time which was long ago and far away, and Ive taken the liberty to cite some verbatim.

Book excerpt: With no regrets, three friends committed to break away for an extended weekend to Scandinavia, the homeland of the newest member of the crew, after an evening of imbibing and conversing, of course. In addition to enjoying late winter sun away from day-to-day responsibilities for a period of time, each has his own motivations for the interlude, and who can’t use a battery recharge once every so often? Moreover, one spouse is pleased to have an empty house for the space to strategize a rogue trader rebuttal without distraction. The plans go astray though, as one delay turns into another and their intended destination proves elusive. The uncommon characters at Luton Airport, of all places, are entertaining canvass, but the day suddenly becomes a shell game of personal vulnerability, and the pea is not hidden where it’s perceived to be. Gate Crashers at Dawn is for anyone who has suffered an interminable delay at an airport and has lived to tell the tale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Return to the Warehouse District is an instalment of rogue avenger’s pinball, tales of self-indulgent street art. Come back deaf dumb and blind kid, this is your time. Return to the Warehouse District conveys stories of The Steve and Larry Show, a cerebral band fond of inside jokes also co-founded by Tom, who buys left of center glossy magazines ‘for the pictures,’ while Larry takes too much time at the supermarket because he shops by the hunt and peck method. The laid back trio of Mugu, Meowmix and their dog Mellow Yellow, but do M&M take the pet out for a walk or does he take them out for a cigarette, given that their contribution to countering the effects of climate change is not smoking in bed? This is not a picaresque novel, but ultimately a battle between good and evil, a conflict between catharsis and retribution, with hopefully one deserving winner.

Book excerpt: Capaz! This legendary expression of Southern Brazil couldnt do justice to my expectations and promises ahead of a two-and-a-half-week visit to this country. One university, two football teams, three barbecues, four chimas, five cities, six hotels, seven beds, eight pounds in the real for a pair of alpargatasthe whole nine yards. The trip was well timed to coincide with the crescendo of a political crisis and a spontaneous blanket protest march and was amply spaced for reminiscing previous travels to this golden but cursed nation. However, would I be lucky enough to escape the tribulations of a thinly cloaked English independence campaign, otherworldly business email chains, and nutty correspondence from sharing economy tenants at my summer cottage before they walked off with my front-door knocker? All this and more, as told to a PDA during the morning and evening commute of a careworn Northern Line rider.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Return of the Drama Prince is the sequel to 2011s Nectar of the Lavender, fifteen years down the road. Rather than young, single, and gainfully employed, our main character is married with three children and now freelances, but in a most unexpected industrial pursuit. He has outgrown depression but has been unable to tackle in his mind sources of his inner social and professional conflict. Hes outwardly relaxed and life should be fine, but he cant escape the Doldrums, and he fears he may run out of time before they envelop him. This condition he masks through exaggerated courtesy and friendliness, the opposite of his no-holds-barred approach to mediocrity and misanthropism when younger. Rather than society thugs obliging a fire-with-fire plan of attack, the new battle is against the passive aggressive, those with glupie tendencies and enemies of civility and efficiency. If you choose to fight city hall, the fight may never end. His decadence-era relationships are over, replaced by friendships with straighter-laced family men and white-collar workers of his bedroom community, including the bleeding heart conservative Lanford, public relations advisor to stars and bars, with occasional PR problems of his own. The in-laws visit, but this is opportunity rather than threat or worry. In confronting his demons, he revisits painful memories, and for ease of vanquishing, or so he thinks, he rolls them all into two. There is no lack of sensations uncovered during this journey, during which he comes into contact with a true American quilt.

Book excerpt: Three Days in July is the tale of a ten-year journey to discover ones roots. From a London base, I scouted and scoured databases, joined ancestry forums and corresponded with archives in numerous countries, sometimes successfully. However, nothing can compare with understanding the land first hand. Accordingly, when I had time to spare this summer, I flew to Lithuania and rented a car, with a mission to absorb history with the aid of a contemporary personal lens and a smartphone, but no maps. Buy the ticket, take the ride. But wait, theres more. If one portion of the family was daring enough to live in 18th and 19th Century Belarus, I should be plucky enough to experience its 21st Century equivalent, no matter how many concentric mental loop-de-loops this entailed thanks to practice makes perfect bureaucratic madness. I encountered subtle reminders of civilizations past and common small urban emotions from my mostly rural upbringing to go with the tangible memories of understated national day celebrations, baby lambies acclimatizing themselves to the world in nature-ideal manor parks, and Belarusian crickets pleading for mercy in the blistering summer heat, as if all chronicled by an imaginary videographer. This is not your great grandfathers trip down memory lane or a meticulous depiction of a determined genealogy sleuth in for the long haul with nary the light by a miners helmet to guide him. For one, I couldnt do it that way. For another, I didnt take any notes. This is the fictionalized version and on both counts, I think its better that way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The afternoon began innocently enough with a lunch meeting in Tower Hill, but gathered pace when I hesitated upon my departure from the Rotunda, and overheard a quartet of deal-making Continentals: ‘The names for an apple are not the fruit itself.’ Code for a transaction they were negotiating or aphorisms for the spewing aside, one picaresque experience leads to another and the next thing I knew, I was on the 73 bus heading out of Harvard Square, with the Armenian driver working the crowd and apologizing for our poor geography. Vijay finally breaks loose of his winter skin while sampling comedy clubs up and down the East Coast, and discovers that The Impresario represents truth in advertizing. In his black and blue swan t-shirt, every clown does have a silver lining. However, these are but preludes to the existential challenges soon to face a young nation, in search of the one man able to solve these riddles, and deliver a cure for us all.

Book excerpt: Anyone can change the world, we were out to fix it. Four years removed from a successful campaign to steer the United States in a new, more equitable direction, it was time to shake Europe's entrenched establishment and bring forth leaders for the people, starting with London, and with a foreign-born leader no less. However, in departing at the American apex, not only left behind were co-collaborators, co-workers and friends unaware of his secret political activities, he betrayed and deserted some of them. We were hiding behind a Big Smokescreen as well, he feared. It may take more than one mea culpa dance to rake over the past, but does it matter the source of true inspiration and determination? Surfing the Urban Wave combines pragmatic solutions to municipal drift with antidotes to the throw-away society and confronts one of the most open and democratic public elections with scarcely an opinion poll in sight.
