A seaside eating contest.A cheating, song-stealing, all-around-no-good ex.And a chain-smoking unicorn doling out dating advice.What could possibly go wrong? It's time for the Seaside Family Fun Fair's annual eating contests, and Zin's Circus of Unusual Creatures has been invited to perform as the feature act. Right from the start, trouble is brewing. Trouble that, to everyone's surprise, has (almost) nothing to do withFergus now referring to himself as The Love Guru. Besides foul moods over the weather, the decrepit state of the fun fair, and the sand wedging itself, well, everywhere, tempers truly flare when Molly's ex-husband, Albert, shows up for the competition. Albert has a bad track record. He's cheated in a previous eating contest, he's stolen Molly the Mini-taur's songs, and he's got an ogre-sized secret that could destroy the fun fair. So, the moment the competition turns deadly, Duncan - dragon and amateur sleuth - has a long list of people who wouldn't mind sending Albert six feet under. Problem is, two of Duncan's friends are the most likely suspects. Matters only get worse when Duncan discovers Zin has agreed to a partnership that's smellier than a sack of rotting fish heads. And with Pepper so busy prepping food for the contest, she's failed to keep up with Duncan's omelet needs. Seriously, no dragon should have to sleuth in these conditions. Can Duncan find the killer before they strike again? Will Zin lose his circus to this partnership? What relationship disasters will Fergus cause? And what is up with those ogres? Find out in Beast or Famine, the latest installment of The Circus of Unusual Creatures Mystery series. ~ ~ ~ Although it's the fourth book in the series, Beast or Famine is a great way to jump into Circus of Unusual Creatures Mysteries. Set in a 1930s that's just a tad different than what you're used to, The Circus of Unusual Creatures is a delightfully humorous cozy mystery series that features a detecting dragon, an aura-spotting centaur, a chain-smoking unicorn, and plenty of other quirky characters getting into all kinds of trouble as they stumble their way through clues, crimes, and perfectly cooked omelets. If you like comic fantasy whodunnits that mix in laughs with murderous mayhem and mythical beasts, you'll love, not only this silly story, but also the first three books in the series: Hoard It All Before, Tipping the Scales, and Fangs a Million. Story Note: While this cozy fantasy mystery is mostly clean, it does have a lusty, chain-smoking unicorn who makes more than a few naughty innuendos, a dragon who drinks, a tiny bit of mild swearing, and (obviously) there's a murder or two along the way.

"Civilization has been rebuilt after an unspoken "Something that Happened" five hundred years ago. Society is now color vision-segregated, professions, marriages, and leisure activities all dictated by an individual's visual ability, and everything run by the shadowy National Color in far-off Emerald City. Out on the fringes of Red Sector West, twenty-year-old Eddie Russett is being bullied into an arranged marriage with the powerful DeMauve family, purples who hope to redden up their progeny's color-viewing potential with Eddie's gene stock. Their obnoxious daughter Violet is confident the marriage won't hamper her style for too long because Eddie is about to go on trial for a murder he didn't commit, and he's pretty sure to be sent on a one-way trip to the Green Room for execution by soporific color exposure. Meanwhile, Eddie is engaged in an illegal relationship with his co-defendant, a Green, the charismatic, unpredictable, and occasionally deadly Jane Grey. Time is running out for Eddie and Jane to figure out how to save themselves. Negotiating the narrow boundaries of the Rules within their society, they search for a loophole-some truth of their world that has been hidden from its hyper-policed citizens. As they unpeel the lies that cloak their existence they come to the worrying conclusion that they may not be alone: That there might be a Somewhere Else beyond the sea, and more, Someone Else living there-and observing them all, purposefully unseen"--

Alex is bored. He's tired of being a sales rep for a communications company, and getting sent off regularly to the middle of nowhere. Luckily, he sees a golden opportunity: the chance to swap with Daavi, one of the company's contractors, skipping off to a tropical island instead, to help Daavi's business partner Fran implement a new accounting system. Alex jumps at the chance for a sunny, low-key adventure, and trades places with him, dragging his junior colleague Vivica along for the ride. But Alex has forgotten that 'adventure' and 'vacation' aren't the same thing. He finds that island life has its pitfalls. Daavi isn't off the hook either: He's to travel out to a job site suspended over a ravine in a nature preserve. Aside from being mildly terrified of heights, Daavi has brought along his best friend Darryl, and their expectant wives, Millie and Stella, which might not have been the best idea with a vengeful, disgruntled ex-employee from Alex's company skulking around with a personal axe to grind. To top it all off, Millie's baby is almost due, and expecting Drachen mothers can be, as Daavi puts it "adorably unpredictable." This could all end without incident. But it's unlikely.

With his newest work "A Gypsy Wedding and a Scottish Funeral", Angulo's literary career continues going from strength to strength.

Critics praise Angulo's Dickensian scope and insight into the human condition. But most of all, readers will get swept up in the story of two friends and their quixotic dreams of a better life. Angulo's compassionate eye for humanity's flaws and hopes makes this rip-roaring adventure tale a must-read."I had to write fourteen horror novels before I could write one of humor."Nothing in Agustín's life had been easy. He had worked since he was fifteen and knew very well what it was to earn every penny by the sweat of his brow. Contrary to what most people in so-called first world countries may think, hunger is also suffered there, although one may not die from it, as it is always possible to survive on stale bread or, as Agustín had been doing for the past two years, on macaroni rinsed with a little fried tomato sauce on top - nothing fancy, no sausages or premium Orlando tomato sauce. While people here may not die of hunger, they do die of depression and disgust...Surrounded by poor wretches, alcoholics, drug addicts, dealers, and yet he considered them his people, as he had seen how those unfortunate souls were capable of stealing your wallet only to later spend the money on buying food for the neighbor's children. When the family living on the first floor had their electricity cut off in the middle of winter, Luisito, the fourth-floor drug dealer, who survived on bread soaked in oil, bulk cheap wine, and packs of African cigarettes - "selling marijuana didn't provide enough to live on" - ran a hose from his apartment down to the first floor, sharing his electricity.He often remembered what a sergeant told him when he entered the army for compulsory military service:- Don't worry about hazing, here the nasty tricks are done by us.When the blows come from within, when your own government is the enemy, minorities, outcasts, and the oppressed unite like brothers. Hell is more welcoming when the devils accept you into the family.A toast to the sun with cheap wine: The New Year's resolution of the addict, the alcoholic, the dealer, the pickpocket, and the prostitute to start a new life. But no one escapes hell, perhaps except _Dante Alighieri in The Divine Comedy,_ and even that was fiction, a novel, a comedy.
