The Summer From Hell? Meet fourteen-year-old Dillon: a self-described nerdy band fag in too-small clothes accessorized by a clarinet case and orthodontic headgear with a robin's-egg-blue satin strap. Fresh from the rigors of junior high school gym class and daily torment by studly jock Aaron Lewis, Dillon is in desperate need of a three-month reprieve. Alas, that isn't to be--not after his mother, Lana, stumbles across his stash of empty wine bottles and Sears catalogue pages featuring scantily clad male torsos. Unfortunately for Dillon, Lana has recently swapped booze and overflowing cleavage for fervent devotion to the one man who can never leave her--the Lord Jesus Christ--and to the Lord's earthbound henchman, Wayne Blandings, Assistant Pastor at The Church of the Divine Redeemer. Alarmed at the diabolic evidence of Dillon's drunken, perverted nocturnal hobbies, Lana and Wayne conclude that Bible Camp is his only hope. Now, on the verge of being shipped off to the Christian barracks, Dillon needs salvation of a different kind. . . Before you can say "halleluiah," Dillon's personal savior materializes--fabulously shirtless and smoking a French cigarette. Perpetually on the lam, Uncle Max needs a place to hang--and hide--out for awhile. But the flamboyant francophile can't seem to elude a colorful mini-entourage that includes his parole officer, Meredith; his sexy mountaineer boyfriend, Serge; and fellow con artist/antiques dealer Jane Nguyen. Much to Dillon's amazement, loathsome Lana isn't all he has in common with the dashing family black sheep. Sprung from the proverbial closet at last, Dillon finds himself under Max's supervision for the summer. This entails Hitchcock films, Balzac novels, and a crash course in shoplifting, from which Dillon swiftly graduates to insurance fraud and art heists. Now, as Max and Jane's devoted sidekick, he's the third member of the notorious "Balzac Bunch," who specialize in befriending blue-haired, blue blooded bridge players--and then relieving them of their priceless antiques. Too quickly, sultry July gives way to steamy August, and the heat is on in more ways than one. Now the cops are closing in, and only two things are certain: that autumn and Max's departure are imminent--and that for Dillon, nothing will ever be the same again. . .

In 'Uncle Max,' Rosa Nouchette Carey crafts a compelling narrative that intertwines themes of familial loyalty, social status, and personal growth against the backdrop of Victorian England. The story revolves around the titular character, Uncle Max, who embodies the complexities of a guardian's role within societal constraints. Carey's literary style is marked by vivid characterizations and a keen exploration of gender dynamics, reflecting the period's shifting perceptions of individual agency. As the plot unfolds, it deftly juxtaposes emotional depth with societal critique, inviting readers to ponder the nuanced interplay between duty and desire.

The gift of reading. There could not be a greater Christmas gift. Throughout history, I ask you what circumstances have compelled any and all would-be authors to put quills-to-parchments (or, in more recent generations, put fingertips-to-keyboards) to create their miasma of pages to be collected together and called a book? It's a good question and I haven't a clue as to any short, finite answer. I only know that there are lots and lots and lots of compelling circumstances. In my particular case, at an early age I found myself interested in the How? and Why? of things I had read about or heard about or saw. No doubt there have been others like me throughout history who have bumbled, stumbled and fumbled their way through life because they were looking through curious eyes - and not necessarily through practical, comprehending eyes. Let me tell you, one stumbles frequently when trying to get somewhere while looking upward rather than downward. But it is still a trip worth taking.... and while looking upward. In the late 1940s I heard on our family entertainment center (which in the late1940s was only an RCA Victor radio) Gene Autry singing the song, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and I was fascinated by the lyrics of the song. Yet I wanted to know, But why did Rudolph's nose glow? No answers to that question were forthcoming and the question remained in the catacombs of my memory for all the years thereafter. Once I had retired from my career and began to write serialized Christmas stories, I plucked the glowing nose dilemma from its dormancy and began to ask, What if.... In order to write this book's first Christmas story, the First Christmas Glowing, I felt compelled to examine (and for story purposes, hypothetically answer) the following What if's:- What if, say a hundred years ago or so, there had been a long-distance message runner making deliveries amongst neighboring villages in the Great Rift Valley of eastern Africa and what if, on one of his runs, the message-runner made a substantive discovery? - What if that substantive discovery, as found on the slope of an old volcano crater, would change Christmases forever and ever? - What if that discovery had something to do with the wing-flap speed of a certain kind of insect? - What if the message-runner put his substantive discovery into a small earthen jar and what if that jar over the course of the next sixty years found its way to a once well-traveled trunk in the home of the brother of a traveling circus entertainer named Maximillian? - What if Maximillian was the uncle of a young girl (his brother's daughter) who also lived in that home? - What if Uncle Max's young niece found the jar and years later would find herself positioned and prepared to come to the aid of one of the most important Christmasses of the 20th Century? - What if there are several other adventures along the way involving magic tricks, singing wolves, a Japanese fishing boat, and an intuitivie Inuit weatherman? - And, yes, what if there is a happy ending, and it is one that you know very well...and certainly have even sung about? In order to write this book's second Christmas story, A Long-Distance Christmas Greeting, I had to answer a whole raft of completely different What if's . and that is because the second story has resulted from my memory of an incident that occurred in the mid 1950s. the remembered incident occurred somewhere on the east coast of the United States and involved some historical society or a university or a city council or something-or-other creating a time capsule, filled with objects. the objects were something like tooth paste, Argyle sox, automobile hubcaps, and square-dance instructions, all to be hermetically sealed, buried, and not opened for a hundred years or so... something to provide clear evidence as to how the residents of our country lived back in the 1950s. I liked that idea, but at the time I was curious about the assembling of rockets capable of travelling into deep space.... so I wondered, What If we put a time capsule (full of stuff) into a rocket and fired it into space in no particular direction? Story #2 comprises my hypothetical answers to that What If. - What if there was a clairvoyant great-great grandmother who loved to drink coffee on her beloved Island of Molokai and who kept being awakened by a recurring dream? - What if that dream woke her up at the same time every evening and what if the dream consisted of something unknown moving through darkness, at a high speed, and with an unknown purpose? - What if an overly-adventuresome African Gray Parrot escaped from an aviary in a zoo in Vienna, Austria and began a sort of Roots trip? - What if the parrot's grandfather had made an indelible and unforgettable impact on a battlefield during a World War? - What if an elementary school student on an excursion to Mount Palomar saw something in a telescope that intrigued the entire world? - What role could a chartreuse micro bus or a poetic corn broker from Dubuque, Iowa have on a world-changing event? - What if we were given the opportunity to learn more about what is out there beyond our universe? the two 'tis-the-season stories of this Almost True Christmas Stories (Vol 1) book are both fun-filled adventures which also inform, enlighten and entertain readers (of all ages, i. e. from 9 to 99) about life and the pursuit of happiness These thought-provoking and discussion-inspiring stories are intended to be read by children, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, sisters and brothers - and, as important, they are intended to be read to the younger children in families in order to help to instill an interest in reading about where our world is now, where it has been in the past, and where it is going in the future. Again, there could not be a better Christmas gift
