The Accidental Bachelor: Free Kindle Ebook

Editor's Note: It's like the show 30-Something set to the soundtrack from Say Anything. 

This is a really funny book with a lot of heart! 

Book Description: As the last of his friends to find a customer for his surname, hungover from one singles-bar karaoke of "Heat of the Moment" too many, Finn McCallister senses his personal life is circling the drain. In an attempt to outrun his insecurities, Finn trains for a marathon and literally collides with doe-eyed veterinarian Kim.

Those who enjoyed High Fidelity, About a Boy, and A Prayer for Owen Meany will enjoy THE ACCIDENTAL BACHELOR.  

Author's Inspiration:  I felt there was a huge void in American literature for dry, male humor. And, no one seems to tell the stories of the extraordinary, and humorous, things that happen to ordinary males while they are trying to find purpose in their lives. Also, I'm a huge fan of a well-placed soundtrack song in a movie, something perfected by Cameron Crowe. I crafted this into the book with 80s music and nostalgia from my formative years.

Dating In The Dark: Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: Need a good laugh? Here's a hilarious love story that had us rolling out of our chairs at the silliness.  

 

I was thoroughly entertained throughout. 

In DATING IN THE DARK, the saying "a face only a mother could love" doesn't hold true for Jason, as his mother thinks he looks like Humpty Dumpty after the accident. Jason longs for love, but can't seem to get a date the conventional way. So he decides that he is going to pretend to be blind, to win love from a blind woman. What happens as the charade of his "blindness"goes on and he dates is the cause of absolute hilarity! 

DATING IN THE DARK is truly funny and entertaining, but at its heart it's about love and a man's desire to be accepted.

Everyday Psychopaths : Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: Here's a collection of three stories that will have you either scared or laughing out loud, but in either case you will be entertained!   

I didn't know if I should laugh or be frightened!

EVERYDAY PSYCHOPATHS is a collection of three stories about the everyday psychos in our lives. The first is a dark humor closer to a horror tale about a young woman who thinks she has found the love of her life, that just may be too good to be true. The second is about an annual job evaluation that has creepy boss written all over it. Finally, all it takes is a day to go from heaven to hell as it is told in the third story. 

EVERYDAY PSYCHOPATHS will thrill you from its humor to its hair raising scary plots!

Jonas Eriksson

I'm a Creative Director for a leading online gaming group in the daytime and a writer in the night-time. I love to travel and play tennis and spend as much time as I can with my adorable little family. The Wake-Up Call is my first novel, Hollywood Ass. is my second.

I like to write stories with lots of humor and dialogue, but I aim to find some degree of depth in them as well. I don't know which category to place them in to be honest with you. I'm not good enough to call them literary :), so maybe romantic comedies or just contemporary fiction would be more fitting.

Favorite Food: I like all kinds of foods, sushi, tapas, and big steaks. Favorite? Pancakes!

Favorite Place to write: Airplanes and cafés. I like having people around me.

Favorite Music: A wide variety. John Mayer, Ryan Adams and Led Zeppelin will never be removed from my playlist though.

Favorite TV Show: I watch Food Network, Kardashians and Mad Men.

Author's Inspiration: Wanting to to make the world laugh (at the people snotting down themselves reading this book)

From the Book: That part of the road had recently been tarmacked, so was fairly smooth for me to skid on. I didn’t feel the pain until I’d stopped and the heat from the road brought me out of the daze I was in. My Speedos had disintegrated somewhere along the way. I’d been on my front as I skidded and looking down, I noticed that the little Pope had lost some of his skin. It wasn’t until later I realised that I’d lost most of my nipples, too. In the police car that took me home I caught a glimpse of my chest in the mirror. Next thing I know I’m waking up with the bed sheets my wife had lovingly placed over me stuck to me! The pain started all over again.

Battle Axe : Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: Suspense Fans:: Here's a novel that shows that while the truth hurts, the lies could flat out kill you. 

This is a humorous suspense novel that will keep you reading till the last page.


Book Description: When his father dies, the last thing swing band frontman Dorsey Duquesne needs is a mid-life crisis. But when the funeral lures long-buried family skeletons out of the closet, his childhood is reduced to a carefully constructed set piece. His sense of identity dented, Dorsey hires a strip-mall P.I. to track down his birth mother—and finds a feisty German woman who not only blames him for the death of her lover, but whose only interest in a mother/son relationship involves picking out his headstone. BATTLE AXE will have you on the edge of your seat with its plot twists and humor! 

Readers who love Carl Hiaasen, Janet Evanovich, and Marshall Kar will enjoy BATTLE AXE.

Author's Inspiration: I was adopted as an infant and found by my birth mother at 40.  

Actor Who Would Play the Main Character: Greg Kinnear

From the Book: Dorsey pulled the Grafton saxophone down from the wall and ran his fingers lightly over the keys. The action was terrible; even his father said he didn’t know why the damn thing was so revered. Dorsey raised it to his mouth and attempted the first few bars of “Misty.” A split reed, dry lips and twenty years away from the instrument resulted in a spot-on impression of a congested goat.

“For God’s sake, Dorsey, put that thing down," Cherry said. "Your father must be rolling in his grave, or whatever people do after they’re burned into little crumbs.” She exhaled heavily and drained her glass.

Bill Cokas
  


Long before he met one of his longtime idols, Chief Parrothead and erstwhile novelist Jimmy Buffett, Bill Cokas was weaving tales of his own, though not in Margaritaville. His first inspiration was Charles Schulz, and his first drawings were earnest but pale attempts at mimicking his hero’s linework and characterization. Over time, he developed his own cast of characters and published their adventures regularly in The Daily Tar Heel while attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he also wrote short fiction. 

When the brass ring of comic strip syndication eluded him after college, Bill put together a portfolio (ironically called a “book” in the industry) and settled into an advertising career in Chicago, writing commercials for McDonald’s, Heinz, Nintendo and Samsonite. Without realizing it, he was gathering material for his first novel, the comic suspense Ring of Fire. A few years later, while searching for material for his next novel, the material found him, in the form of his birth mother. The novel inspired by those events became the offbeat suspense Battle Axe. He is currently in the midst of his third book.

He lives in Raleigh, North Carolina with his college sweetheart/gorgeous wife, two amazingly talented sons and one psychotic rescue dog. His standard attire is a Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts and flip-flops, weather permitting.

Favorite Food: Greek food

Favorite Place to Write: I try to write when it's quiet and in the morning, but anywhere will do with a laptop.

Favorite Music: Sinatra, the Beatles, Jimmy Buffett

Favorite TV Show: These days I like "New Girl," "Modern Family" and "Warehouse 13."

Oliver Booth and the Evil Socialite : Free Kindle and Nook Book

Editor's Note: David Sedaris fan? Well, here's a book that is right up your alley. Full of witty satire, it will have you laughing at the absurdity of high society! 

This book is wicked funny. The perfect book to read when flying from New York to Palm Beach!

Book Description: In OLIVER BOOTH AND THE EVIL SOCIALITE, Oliver Booth, the man readers love to hate, is back! In this hilarious sequel to the award-winning novel The Misadventures of Oliver Booth: Life in the Lap of Luxury, Oliver’s quest for fame and fortune leads him into the world of high-end real estate, where he becomes embroiled in a battle with a socialite who is not all that she appears to be. It’s a fast and funny satire you won’t want to miss.

Fans of Evelyn Waugh, David Sedaris, and John Kennedy Toole will love OLIVER BOOTH AND THE EVIL SOCIALITE. 

Author's Inspiration: I live in Palm Beach and I'm exposed to people with too much money and too much free time on a regular basis. I write my novels and my newspaper column in the Palm Beach Daily News to have a bit of fun with those people, but also to keep a bit of distance from their world, and I know I'm never going to run out of material!

Actor Who Would Play the Main Character: Nathan Lane

From the Book: Oliver Booth was not a professional parking valet, certainly not at his age. He also dabbled in the sale of antiques, although lately his role in that field had been limited to that of a deliveryman. Some months previously, he had attempted to defraud a certain Margaret Van Buren, the wealthy doyenne of Palm Beach society. Because of his status as the manager of an antique shop in town, Mrs. Van Buren had sent Oliver to Paris along with Bernard Dauphin, a young Frenchman who worked as a waiter at the Morningwood Club, to shop for furniture for her guest house at the Marché aux Puces. With Bernard's help, Mrs. Van Buren had uncovered Oliver's scheme to inflate the prices of the goods that had been purchased and thus his presumed commission and she had threatened to turn him in to the police unless he made reparations. Much to Oliver's chagrin, he had been required to cede control of the antique shop to Mrs. Van Buren and pay back all of the costs of his ill-fated trip.

 Ronhill Men's Advanced Racer Shorts

“Almost too short”
 
Norman Hogsbottom, the man, the boss, the supplier of plugs, is what the sign on my desk states. That’s right, I sell plugs. However, being all of these things doesn’t mean a man doesn’t need to stay fit. I bought these running shorts after seeing the London marathon on TV. I found myself telling the office junior, Sandy, that I had already signed up and been accepted for next year’s. I’m not sure what I was thinking; at the time I’d not run since Iwas at boarding school during shower time with Dirty McWandery hands, the games teacher.

Actor Who Would Play the Main Character: Dudley Moore, thirty years ago. 

From the Book: A REVIEW FOR A PAIR OF UNDERPANTS 

A sturdy hold, but I think there was something up with the material.

Living alone, I need to keep a substantial number of Y-fronts at any one time. This is due to how far away my mother lives away and not owning a washing machine myself. A couple of these three packs were perfect for my needs.

I must say as I pulled on a fresh pair on the day of delivery, I instantly noticed how supporting they were of little Frank and his two pet bulldogs. They were a very soft feel and made me feel all warm and tingly. Not like some pairs I've owned that made poor Frank feel like he was being kettled during a peaceful protest turned bad.

Low Jinks on the High Seas : Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: Hilarity on the high seas! This book will make you laugh out loud at the crazy band of misfits thrown together on a boat.  

This was a hilarious thriller that kept you guessing in between the laughs!


Book Description: Captain Brian, a Caribbean day-sail skipper, heads into a showdown with his wife but getting in the way is a disgruntled heir, Spanish gangsters, and a dead tourist that he is expected of murdering. A literate romp in the sun and sand.

Author's Inspiration:  Honestly can't think of one... author and story are true originals.

From the Book: Argo, my Cheoy Lee Clipper, rode easily to her anchor, securing one flank of the flotilla of yachts that formed a loose cordon across the broad mouth of Cane Garden Bay. Shins pressed against the stern rail and T-shirt billowing like a spinnaker, I scanned an empty sea. As the eternity of my vigil numbed me, I conjured up an extravagant barge clearing the headland—an orchestra in full regalia, dancers and pageantry, pennants flying, attendants peeling and feeding grapes to the nubile deity, ensconced on a jeweled throne and attired in peacock feathers. Ha!

Flying Soup : Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: Flying Soup is like the Daily Show with John Stewart - full of witty satire on politics and religion that is sure to make you laugh! 

I love how this book sucked me into it in the first page. 


Book Description: FLYING SOUP satirically follows the story of three budding internet entrepreneurs thrust into a political and religious controversy by the content on their website.

Readers who liked The Bonfire of the Vanities, A Man in Full, and Jailbird will enjoy FLYING SOUP. 

Author's Inspiration: Oddly, the inspiration from the book came from two actual events. The first was the minor bicycle accident described at the beginning of the book. The second was an teenage employee I had some years ago who described to me a joy riding hobby he and his friends had of raiding their mothers' pantries for canned goods, then throwing them of of their car at pedestrians.

Actor Who Would Play the Main Character: Justin Timberlake

From the Book: “Hoffman, I waited for those men to come to my house, and they did. I sat on my couch with the gun in my hand. I didn’t check to see if it was clean. I didn’t check to see if it was loaded. Another man might say I was stupid for doing that, but another man wouldn’t know it was Jesus’ pistol. I had faith, you see. When those other men came, I shot them down like dogs and then I buried their bodies in the desert, where they’d never be found again."

Bobby Adair
  


As I think back to the things I always wanted to be when I grew up, paleontologist, astronaut, and writer. I grew out of my paleontology aspiration. An unfortunate legal problem arose when I was a senior in high school and blew my Air Force Academy appointment. Then, the only dream that stuck with me through my life was that of being a writer and I just love doing it. As my friends might say, it provides an outlet for all the BS that I apparently spin. 

I think it provides a creative outlet with therapeutic side benefits. I've written a half dozen novels so far but have never done much in the way of getting them published. Most, sat on my hard drive, unread by anyone but me. Flying Soup, will be the first novel I've put any real effort into getting out there into the world. Wish me luck!

Favorite Food: I love a good hamburger and couldn't imagine life without them. 

Favorite Place to Write: I like to take my laptop and write anywhere where there are people milling about but not bothering me, indoors work but when the weather is nice, I prefer outdoors. There's a great coffee shop in Austin with a very large deck, shaded by ancient oaks, on the edge of Lake Austin. Great place to write!

The Accidental Bachelor : Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: It's like the show 30-Something set to the soundtrack from Say Anything. 

 

This is a really funny book with a lot of heart! 

Book Description: As the last of his friends to find a customer for his surname, hungover from one singles-bar karaoke of "Heat of the Moment" too many, Finn McCallister senses his personal life is circling the drain. In an attempt to outrun his insecurities, Finn trains for a marathon and literally collides with doe-eyed veterinarian Kim, who awakens primal feelings dormant since Phoebe Cates graced the halls of Ridgemont High. After Finn gains momentum from this new relationship, he attempts to rehabilitate his toxic best friend, Carmichael, in the one city diametrically opposed to rehabilitation—Las Vegas.

Those who enjoyed High Fidelity, About a Boy, and A Prayer for Owen Meany will enjoy THE ACCIDENTAL BACHELOR.  

Author's Inspiration:  I felt there was a huge void in American literature for dry, male humor. And, no one seems to tell the stories of the extraordinary, and humorous, things that happen to ordinary males while they are trying to find purpose in their lives. Also, I'm a huge fan of a well-placed soundtrack song in a movie, something perfected by Cameron Crowe. I crafted this into the book with 80s music and nostalgia from my formative years.

Actor Who Would Play the Main Character: Ron Livingston or Adam Scott

From the Book: Only a smattering of patrons sang along, all part of the animal species Felis concolor, better known as the puma, mountain lion, panther or most recognizably, the cougar. I thought of the “Hello” video, which was even crappier than the song. Lionel Richie was an art teacher who had a crush on one of his students and stared at her with cradle-robbing eyes. Even more offensive was she was blind and had no idea he was stalking her. Throughout the video she worked on a clay sculpture of a head. Lionel would stare at her as if he were fantasizing he was the clay; it was a very uncomfortable four minutes.

Timothy Holsten

The Accidental Bachelor was born from a sophomoric Las Vegas story idea and grew in depth as Tim's personal relationships and faith grew. He lives in Encinitas, just north of San Diego, has an incredible wife, four kids he worships, and is a strong Christian. He is also an avid runner, frequent Hawaii visitor, Special Olympics coach, memorizer of useless 80s pop culture, has worked in real estate and technology, and spent time in Boulder (CU Class of 1993, Go Buffs!), San Francisco and San Diego, all threads and settings that figure prominently into the humorous, yet grounded, story.

Bang (Memoirs of a Relationship Assassin) : Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: BANG (MEMOIRS OF A RELATIONSHIP ASSASSIN) is a funny take on what would happen if you needed to not just break up but rather destroy a relationship. 

Like dangerous Disneyland rides, this story has all the ingredients of entertainment. 


Book Description: Call Infidelity Ltd to hire a relationship assassin. Take out your other half. You'll soon be free and single again. Indiscretion assured.

Those who like Ben Elton and Nick Hornby will like BANG (MEMOIRS OF A RELATIONSHIP ASSASSIN).  

Author's Inspiration:  Initially I wanted to create an anti-hero character who readers might initially despise, but then grow to love as he falls from grace. A man whose job is to break up relationships seemed perfect! I am also interested in the detective industry which is still alive and well, as are genuine honeytrap organisations.

Actor Who Would Play the Main Character: Jake Gyllenhaal

From the Book: No matter who you are, no matter what you do, you’ll have heard about the Mister Ex scandal at some point. You could hardly have missed it! Those four tiny photos that changed the careers – indeed, the entire lives – of the biggest celebrities in the country, and let’s face it, if they weren’t the biggest before, they certainly are now. So if you’re reading this, then obviously you want to know more.

I was born in Nineteen Davidey-Dave (all the best people were born that year) and live in London. I write contemporary fiction, a blend of mystery, thriller and humour.

The key theme of all my novels is ‘identity’ – I am fascinated by people pretending to be something they’re not. I bet you’re doing that right now, with somebody. Go on, admit it. (I know I am. But that can be our secret.)
