Rainy Day Ramen and the Cosmic Pachinko by Gordon VanstoneA delightfully debauched, spiritual quest through a hallucinatory Japan of cursed gaijin houses, seedy hostess bars, a Beatles-themed McDonalds, mysterious internet cafe denizens, and one seriously pissed off cat.
Charging through Shinjuku's neon jungle, enveloped in a boozy, nicotine-stained haze, past and present collide as an empty orchestra croons a slow dance of people and place, memory and madness, loss and love. All the while, Fred struggles to be an agent of his destiny and not another ball bearing bouncing through the cosmic pachinko.
Rainy Day Ramen and the Cosmic Pachinko is told as a uniquely clever mix of Murakami-esque magical realism and gonzo Japan travelogue. Nimbly structured and loosely presented as a modern mash-up of Homer's Odyssey and Murasaki Shikibu's The Tale of Genji.

It comes in waves.
It's already too late for most of us. Walking around with bio-bombs ticking away in our bloodstreams. Bombs that are synchronized to go off together. Before you know it you're diving into the deep end of depravity. A pool of insanity you're never coming back from. Surfacing once or twice to witness the horrors you've caused before your soul takes a deep breath and disappears forever.
It's not natural.
The infections occurring simultaneously across the globe prove it's not a freak phenomena. Someone is behind the pandemic that's turning people into insane cannibals. Who'd benefit from so much death and chaos though? The humanity of whatever group pulled the trigger on this madness is seriously up for debate.
There's No Vaccine
Chris watches as the world around him falls apart. Bitten by a loved one he hovers in a feverish state for weeks. His recovery carefully observed by a group that considers itself above humanity. A group that sees people as prey. Chris becomes a pawn in the war to determine the future of mankind. Follow him as he evolves from being a frazzled twenty something college educated mama's boy into something more. Hopefully it's enough.
I'm not sure how to use this site but I'll throw my latest work into the pool. "Fearless" is a cross country adventure of six childhood friends embarking an on altruistic camping trip in the 1970's to console the widow of veteran who was killed in Vietnam. Their trip, beginning with brilliant weather, warm camaraderie and the magnificent beauty of the nation quickly deteriorates as the weather changes from pleasant to hostile. Exacerbating the weather are the characters they meet and the events they encounter: the snowplow driver, Jimbo the Vet, the furry of the mighty Colorado, the antiquated, time warped salon in a small California hamlet, Vietnamese emigrants and the tumultuous meeting with the widow Lucy. Humor, adventure, PTSD (Post Traumatic Syndrome Disease) and ultimate bloodshed are woven into an exciting tale that pays homage to Veterans who served and sacrificed their lives for the country. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

Title: Free ebook — Memoir about fighting unfair dismissal alone for 6 years and winning [Read for Review]Has anyone here been fired by WhatsApp?
That's how my story started. On 17 July 2019, I received a WhatsApp message ending my employment. What followed was six years of fighting back completely alone — no lawyer, no legal background — all the way to the Court of Appeal, where I won a unanimous 3-0 decision.
Winning Without a Lawyer is my memoir of that journey. It's a true story, a two-hour read, available on Amazon and Google Play Books.
Genre: Memoir / Legal Self-Help
