The Long Lunch, the Man of Constant Sorrow and the Remains of the Cheese

Three tragically amusing short stories revealing the pitfalls of marriage, friendship and romance after forty.

The Man of Constant Sorrow - A very public and altogether sordid tale of a 40th birthday celebration taking place at the races

The Remains of the Cheese - A savory tale of bedroom secrets, moral dilemmas and the reckless consumption of far too many bottles of very cheap champagne

Available to download from Amazon for $1.99.

Unknown Book 10975167

A fragrant account of one man's struggle to succeed against incredible odds. (Inspirational)

Cursed with a stupid name and an embarrassing condition — TMG/CEFD (Too Much Gas/Continual Excessive Flatulence Disorder) otherwise known as F.L.A.T.U.L.E.N.C.E Disorder (Fetid, Loud, Abominably Turbulent & Utterly Lethal, Extremely Noxious Current (wind) Expulsion Disorder) commonly referenced as FLATULENCE, Jesus Kryst was a thoroughly unfortunate man. Farting uncontrollably all the time, Jesus suffered ridicule, bad luck and persecution, and was about to throw in the towel when he discovered the power of the fart and turned his life around.

This fragrant and inspirational account of one man’s struggle to succeed against incredible odds is sure to bring a tear to your eye and a scented hankie to your nose. Illustrated by the author whose vivid imagination and sledgehammer wit has become legendary to her fans (4), The Tale of a Worthy Albeit Slightly Flatulent Young Man is well worth the $0.99 download fee. Enjoy!

Always one to keep up with the latest in technology (Ivana has a computer now that typing ribbons are no longer available to purchase),Ivana has recently discovered the world of ebook publishing, folks! Well, I never! She said to herself when she figured out how to upload her books into Smashwords, converting her entire body of work into ebooks which are, funnily enough, cheaper to buy and delivered instantly! That's all I wanted to say, cheers, Yours Truly

P.s. You know where I'm going with this, don't you? Cabbage, Strudel and Trams A Decent Ransom  A Story of a Kidnapping Gone Right
