IRREFUTABLE FACTS ABOUT CHICKENS

  1. Chickens are dirty.
  2. Chickens are loud.
  3. Chickens are stupid.

When ancient and mysterious forces trap the souls of an entire flock of barnyard fowl between life and death, Bobby Garfundephelt has to agree. Trapped inside the myriad rooms of a labyrinthian farm, it's all he can do to avoid the twisted traps of the evil Rooster and his army of undead hens. Luckily for Bobby, the rumors of the ghostly guineas have reached the ears of the current Exorciste de Volaille. Armed only with a fox-headed staff, some heavy boots, and a utility belt full of cracked corn and Band-Aids, he must enter the henhouse of horrors to save Bobby, and to do battle with the Rooster himself!

For the lover of comedy with a twist, Cluck: Murder Most Fowl is a veritable Indian burn of mystery, adventure, horror, and humor from Eric D. Knapp, the award-winning author of Out of Place, Out of Time.

Cluck: Murder Most Fowl is fully illustrated, with original cover art and over 25 interior illustrations by artist Ian Richard Miller. [MORE INFO]

Dr. Stowel made a big mistake: experimenting with unverified theories of time travel. The consequence was his sudden departure from Earth and his introduction to a sentient alien race. When he returns, many years later, he doesn't know how he got back, or why. Injured and suffering from severe memory loss Stowel can only speculate that the aliens were responsible, that they are on Earth now and that they are up to no good. To the agents of the Temporal Exploration and Advancement project, Stowel's return could mean advancing their research by years. Yet with the risk of instigating an alien conflict as a result of their research, the project is at risk of being terminated instead! What is really going on? Katherine Maya is certain there is more, locked inside the lost memories of Dr. Trenton Stowel. But how can she unlock memories of a man who keeps disappearing into thin air?

A new book of corporate strategy inspired by The Lord of The Rings

Perseverance is the key, according to Frodo and the other happy-go-lucky hobbits. You see, when all else seems lost, and when the odds are staked so highly against success, the heroes of the Lord of The Rings do not give up. Despite pain, hunger, despair, the loss of friends and the deaths of thousands the quest continued. It is perseverance that allowed the forces of good to maintain their place against the Yang in the fictional cosmos of Middle Earth.

Now, lets take a look at some popular corporate theologies, as expressed in a best-selling and highly praised book titled "Who Moved My Cheese". The message here is quite different, and it is this difference that presents the question, "what would have happened to poor Frodo if he had been born and raised in modern times, and had taken the advice du fromage presented in Spencer Johnson's book?"

It's only natural to feel down when you've just lost your "nest egg" in the latest stock market crash, or even worse when you are eventually laid off to help some stuffed suit recap his losses from that same crash. Sure, you hated that job anyway - but it was a job, and even though your boss is a bone-headed ignoramus it was the only thing between you and financial ruin. So you have to say goodbye to two or three very close friends, and two or three hundred more people that you didn't even know, and perhaps two or three hundred more that you downright hated. While it's easy to say, "Get over it and move on", a mourning period is a very necessary part of the process. To help you overcome this painful period of self-doubt as quickly as possible, it may be helpful to draw from the following inspirational Haiku, which clearly illustrate how the ancient samurai had similar plights. 

	My lord is an ass!
	I cut people up for him,
	And he cuts me lose!

	Your house is so full
	of shit that I no longer
	fit inside of it!

	My sword is my soul.
	Now back off before I stick
	my soul up your ass!
