Bug World
by Monk E. Mind
Bug World is a reconstructed civil war era home refurbished by an entomologist as a road side amusement center and educational facility that gives tours showcasing all kinds of insects and sells ant farms, butterfly gardens and more... Howard "Bugs" Smithton, proprietor-entomologist, also teaches at universities and consults with coroners and law enforcement officials as a forensic entomologist like TJ with Bones and Gil Grisham of CSI. Other characters are newspaper man and his family, reporter, Sheriff Clete Beecher, a physics professor and a biology professor at a nearby university. The profs are noticing certain trends that indicate the extinction of man. Bugs Smithton understands that we are, as he says, "temporary guests in a bug's world."
Bad Jokes
by Jeffrey Loren
Thanks to my wife, Linda, who encouraged me to write this book. When I told her that I had heard that bad jokes are getting very popular now on social media,” she said, “Good, please go tell them!"
Two years later, my son tells me that, "Actually, Dad, everyone is telling, 'Dad Jokes.'"
