Beschreibung

In "Alpacalypse Now," Tina Shears, a former Wall Street hotshot, finds herself thrust into the world of alpaca farming in the quaint town of Woolville. This fish-out-of-water tale blends sharp wit with absurdist humor as Tina fumbles through her new rural responsibilities, armed with nothing but her city smarts and a herd of surprisingly clever alpacas.   
The stakes rise when she uncovers a nefarious plot by a big agriculture corporation to transform Woolville into an industrial complex, forcing her to rally a ragtag group of quirky townsfolk to save their community. As Tina hilariously attempts to apply her corporate strategies to farm life, readers are treated to a delightful array of alpaca-themed puns and running gags.   
The novel cleverly satirizes both corporate culture and small-town dynamics, while weaving in themes of community, personal growth, and the unexpected wisdom found in the simplest of places. Through Tina's journey of learning to slow down and appreciate rural life, "Alpacalypse Now" offers a heartwarming and hilarious exploration of the paths life can take when we least expect it.

    Don’t waste your awkwardness. 
    The most difficult subjects in our lives are also the ones that we find most uncomfortable to talk about: divorce, body image, sexuality, pornography, or depression. Our awkward silence reveals the gap that exists between what we are and what we know we should be. But God loves those awkward moments, Sammy Rhodes argues, because they are precisely where we find connection with God and one another. 
    In This Is Awkward, Rhodes talks directly, honestly, hilariously about the most painfully uncomfortable subjects in our lives. In chapters like “Parents Are a Gift (You Can’t Return Them)” and “The Porn in My Side,” he boldly goes where most of us fear to tread, revealing that we can be liberated by the embrace of a God who knows the most shameful things about us and loves us all the same. Because nothing is too awkward for God.

    The bestselling author of The Asti Spumanti Code offers a globe-hopping spoof of contemporary fiction’s most famous detectives.   Cuff College of Transgression and Pathology, Oxford, is the Alma Mater of the world’s most famous fictional detectives. But when a body is discovered in the Cuff College library, the police are baffled. The only clues to the crime are the enormous spear sticking out of the victim’s chest, and the price tag from an IKEA duvet. It looks like a case for junior lecturer Tom Hurst. Though, from Tom’s perspective, it looks like a job for almost anyone else.   Breaking every rule of the whodunnit genre, Tom recruits four of the College's most celebrated graduates to find the killer: from Botswana, Mma Delicious Ontoaste; from Sweden, Inspector Burt Colander; from Scotland, Inspector Scott Rhombus; from America, Doctor Faye Carpaccia. Together, perhaps these international supersleuths can solve the case—if only they can stop arguing and get to IKEA before it shuts.   Revisiting—and rewriting—some of the most famous crime novels of recent times, Toby Clements offers four thrillers in one in this uproarious murder mystery that will seem oddly familiar to readers of Alexander McCall Smith, Henning Mankell, Ian Rankin and Patricia Cornwell.
