My Old Man & The Car plus 5* #BookReview #humor #Father

March 23, 2018

My father’s other rule was to say the rosary every time we went farther than the corner. Since he had a habit of turning around and watching us as we stumbled through our “Hail Marys” in the back seat, these trips contained some of my most deeply moving religious experiences. “A nun, God,” I’d bargain. “I’ll enter the convent if you make my father look at the road.”

Superpowers suck? Try Null City. After one day there, imps become baristas, and hellhounds become poodles. But someone should have told them the angels were all on the other side.

Each morning, hope flares in the tiny flash of a second before I touch that first thing. And destroy it.

Warden Carey Parker's to-do list is already long enough: find her brother and sister, rescue her roommate, save Null City, and castrate her ex-boyfriend. Preferably with a dull-edged garden tool. A rusty one.

Two novellas: "Payback Is A Witch" & "Just For The Spell Of It"

The story of three women eating our way across India in search of adventure, elephants, temples, palaces, western toilets, monkeys, the perfect paratha…and the kindness of Indian strangers.
