Welcome to this guide to your New Human. I'll start with a disclaimer: it's not a guide. If you choose to follow some of the things that I have done, then it's on you, pal. Written as I awaited the birth of my second child, this book is a collection of stories about my experiences, as a man, in the creation and maintenance of a New Human. And given that she is awesome, I felt it only fair that I should share my wisdom with you, so that you too can have the best human possible. So whether you are a long-time parent, a new parent, a surprised parent, avoiding being a parent or just thinking about becoming a parent, I wish you all the best in your contribution to the continuation of the species. Three things every man should know before embarking on dadhood: When your partner is pregnant, never confuse 'big' with 'fat'. Use the pregnant wife card to your advantage. Sometimes I wished people would call me into a meeting just so I could say, 'Sorry . . . pregnant wife. Must go.' No questions asked. Once you have created a New Human you will need to schedule time together with your Old Human. (Never call her this out loud.)
The Way Up is Death
A SFF thriller where a mysterious, otherworldly tower appears in the sky above the UK with a single word emblazoned above its doorway... ascend. A great read for fans of Paradox Hotel by Rob Hart. When a mysterious tower appears in the skies over England, thirteen strangers are pulled from their lives to stand before it as a countdown begins. Above the doorway is one word: ASCEND. As a grieving teacher, a reclusive artist, and a narcissistic celebrity children’s author lead the others in trying to understand why they’ve been chosen and what the tower is, it soon becomes clear the only way out of this for everyone… is up. And so begins a race to the top, through sinking ships, haunted houses and other waking nightmares, as the group fights to hold onto its humanity, while the twisted horror of why they’re here grows ever more apparent – and death stalks their every move.
A Way Up
There’s a Seattle urban legend about something rare and unusual in the snow at 14,000 feet — not a Sasquatch but a booted, nude woman atop Mt. Rainier. This is the story behind the legend. Paula Engborg is an energetic, 41-year-old divorced mom in search of Prince Charming when one day she finds a new sport: The Climb. Paula has barely ascended a stepladder, so why the desire to climb mountains? Unlike other books about climbing, A WAY UP isn’t about the highest mountains, famous climbers, or exotic locations. Instead, it’s the experiences of the feisty author, who, in middle-aged, finds a new rush. Here, the mountains in the Pacific NW and rock walls in the Southwest come alive. You’ll feel the bitter cold, the rigours of training, and share Paula’s dream of making it to the top. Along the way this self-proclaimed “climb-aholic” defies the odds to become a member of Mountain Rescue, makes and breaks friends, and falls in love with Clint, a man with a penchant for motorcycle rallies. Paula’s story is a literal tale of hard knocks, told with warmth and unflinching detail.
