Here’s the set-up:

Some vampires are destined for greatness. He’s not one of them.

When truckstop diner cook and mediocre bowler Herb Knudsen becomes a vampire, his once simple life gets a bit more complicated.

Herb’s not even sure how it happened. He wasn’t bitten by a vampire, which means there’s no one around to help him learn the ropes. With no one to guide him, Herb fumbles into his newfound abilities, courting disaster with every step.

Despite learning each new lesson the hard way, being a vampire isn’t all bad. He’s stronger, a little sexier, and a heck of a lot better at bowling. Even Lois, the girl of his dreams, is starting to notice him. But he can’t drink beer, the bodies are piling up, and his best friend Dallas isn’t just getting suspicious – he’s getting jealous.

When Lois is caught in the middle of the two friends’ escalating rivalry, keeping his dark secret becomes the least of Herb’s concerns.

Booze, bowling, bake sales, bar fights, babes, blood and karaoke… Who would have thought that being undead would make life so exciting?

Here’s the set-up:

Sylvie works in an e-commerce company, ‘Good Vibration’, specialising in the distribution of adult toys. She’s surrounded by colourful people as well as interesting items she refuses to use.

The place has been her lifeline, even though it’s made out of silicone and plastic, for two and a half years as she still tries to come to terms with the devastation of losing of her husband while bringing up their daughter, alone.

Her world is turned upside down when her work partner collapses and his stepson, Finlay, comes in to sort out the business, which his family own.

The consummated snob isn’t impressed with it and wants it to shut it down. He finds the product and people distasteful … and it shows. And he has his own problems, as his beautiful French wife has just told him she’s pregnant but he might not be the father.

Determined to keep the place open, against someone fixed on closing it down, the pair fight tooth and nail to achieve what they want, both poles apart on how they see the world and why.

But could opposites really attract?

Or is it that they want to be with that person, but all for the wrong reasons?

It’s about finding unexpected love in the most extraordinary place when faced with every possible obstacle to stop having a ‘Good Vibration’.

Here’s the set-up:

The tragic battle of the Polish Jews for emigration in the period before the Holocaust.

At the Last Moment is a riveting book based on the doctoral work of Irith Cherniavsky, which deals with Polish Jewry between the two world wars, and documents their desire to leave under enormous hardship in order to save themselves in the years preceding the Holocaust.

Even before World War II and the Holocaust Poland had turned into a trap for its Jewish residents. Over three million Jews lived in the country, many of whom wished to leave, but only a small percentage were able to get exit permits and flee. The limited number of permits available drove them to a desperate fight for every single certificate.

The book describes the struggle for emigration and presents this tragic situation from the viewpoint of the individual: Poland’s bad financial, social and political situation, and the even harsher circumstances of its Jewish population, the closing of the world’s doors on the face of Jewish immigrants, the battles waged to obtain immigration visas, the cost of immigrating and the obstacles along the way.

Besides a heartbreaking description of the Polish Jews’ struggle for immigration.

Dr. Irith Cherniavsky reveals the wrenching pain of separation from family, community, friends and the entire world the few who managed to emigrate left behind, a world that became practically extinct during the Holocaust just a few years later.
