King Edward and his hardbitten General´s yea and nay was smooth-sailing, but betrayed by anger and revenge. Prince Andor and Princess Victoria´s love was that of first sight, and they fell deeply in it. The beloved Prince did everything he could to stop her from joining her friends to war against England, but the Princess was hell-bent on that. Unknown to him, she was even pregnant, but for who? Most of the greatest losses and victories in life do not come with deafening hubbub; sometimes, not even with a clank; they mostly whisper their ways through to accomplishment. He who chuckled at yells, threats, and jangles of swords and breastplates; he who smiled at the gloomiest of futures, and built his tent amid hunger, shame, negligence, and terror, the same is the bystander.

Beeeeeeeeeeeep! This is a jest. This is only a jest. Rhymes from the Recliner: A Collection of Couch Potato Poetry is a light-hearted devotional to classic television programming. It's tinted with humor, irony, and affection, and intended to put a horizontal hold on lovers of prose and tv shows. It is easily enjoyed by most everyone, though poetry readers and music listeners may be the most enthusiastic, for they will also notice that many of the poems are patterned after well known pieces of poetry and popular songs. It is for people who have grown tired of others tuning in and dropping out when they quote the same old, stuffy bits of philosophy about life and love. It is for those who want to arm themselves with a clever verse about The Love Boat or Name that Tune, and turn themselves into a regular boob-tube troubadour. It can be enjoyed with a latte at one's favorite coffee shop, or with a beer and a bag of chips on an old sofa, munching and giggling to Hee Haw as interpreted thru Shakespeare. There really is something good on television this book.

Set in October 1962, while the world holds its collective breath awaiting the possibly apocalyptic climax of the unfolding Cuban Missile Crisis, the banality of everyday life goes on―and Lonnie and Kate Ross confront their own domestic cold war. As Kate, frustrated and disillusioned, looks outside her marriage for satisfaction, Lonnie’s justifiable suspicions of his wife’s infidelity lead him down a deadly rod of increasing paranoia and violence as he seeks to reclaim what he’s lost. Masterfully paced and drawn in Chaffee’s fluid, inky brushstrokes, To Have and To Hold captures the pulpy, nocturnal atmosphere of classic noir.
