Tennis Clubbed, Snubbed and Rabbity-Dub Dubbed


Tennis Clubbed, Snubbed and Rubbity-Dub Dubbed 


A NOVEL SET IN THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN ...

In historically rich Yokohama, the wicked shiver of the tennis snub pits David Adams against K: a puffed up, xenophobic tyrant who rules over the courts of a club that has as its anthem, ironically, the promotion of international friendship.

Off the courts, David labors on a "McContract" at a Japanese university while married to the proverbial nail that sticks up, a fiery medical doctor who rides a 1200cc rice-rocket Yamaha. A heady tale of comparative culture and revenge, Tennis Clubbed goes down like a cocktail of pure fire ... served up in the hall of the mountain king.




About the Author: 

Eric Madeen is an associate professor of modern literature at Tokyo City University and an adjunct professor at Keio University. He's an award-winning author whose writing has been published widely - in Time, Asia Week, The East, The Daily Yomiuri, Tokyo Journal, Kyoto Journal, Metropolis, Mississippi Review, ANA's inflight magazine Wingspan, Japanophile, The Pretentious Idea, several academic journals and so on. He has been featured in several radio interviews (9 in the USA and 1 in Japan) and various print media. From a very early age reading and writing have been as natural to him as breathing. Sharpened in then world's largest ad agency Dentsu for clients as diverse as Mazda and Sony (Sony No Baloney!) his prose allows for an immediate emotional entry into a sublime, exotic land. Specifically, his two-plus years as a Peace Corps volunteer in francophone Gabon, Africa, where he built a primary school complex in an equatorial village surrounded by rain forest, inspired his multicultural love story Water Drumming in the Soul, which resonates with the personal and passionate all the way through to the heart-wrenching end. His most recent novel Massage World is a super high-octane thriller. By turns erotic and exotic but always zesty, its plot twists and linkage are tight and full of surprises ... peopled as it is with a rogues gallery found in the nether reaches of a Dionysian dream. Sandwiched between the two is the travel essay compilation Asian Trail Mix: True Tales from Borneo to Japan which scales down the sprawl of Asia by laser focusing on the unique and revelatory in sharp, crisp prose. Originally from a Chicago suburb, Eric Madeen lives with his family in Yokohama. You can jam with him here: www.ericmadeen.com

Cybersecurity as a Fishing Game

 


Cybersecurity as a Fishing Game: 

Developing Cybersecurity in the Form of Fishing Game and What Top Management Should Understand


Cybersecurity, despite the fact that information has always been a core value in achieving competitive advantages and value in developing communication technologies has become an ever evolving phenomenon in the cyber world. Often, cybersecurity has emerged as a whole panacea to the struggle for benefits in international affairs which led states to create a network of intelligence and resolve conflicts within interstate agreements. At the same time, the rapid development of information and communication technologies has led to a break in established international rules and boundaries for the dissemination of information giving birth to the dire need of Cybersecurity. Massive access to professional data and public information has transformed from regulatory to commercial, hence, cybersecurity. Reflecting the evolution of information and communication tools and technologies via synergizing theoretical and practical skills in our book 'Cybersecurity As a Fishing Game,' we aimed to convey, in a concise manner, the importance of cybersafety in due regards to cybersecurity and the value of correct use. We hope and are confident to attract a wide range of users of the collected knowledge and experience on the relevance of cybersecurity. Moreover, the audiobook version of this Cybersecurity edition expands the possibilities of professionals, whose eyes are constantly busy working with the monitor. We honestly guess that the destiny of this audiobook version on cybersecurity will be inspiring on further research and finding answers, not only for professionals, but to motivate hackers for a positive change!

Hiraeth




Hiraeth is a Welsh term for a feeling of homesickness for a home you cannot return to or one that never existed. Hiraeth is deep feeling that I turned into a story through poetry that revolves around a certain sense of something missing but not knowing that it has anything to do with the word home. Since 'home' is a feeling more than just a physical location/place as it is usually differentiated from the word house, this poetry book takes a unique approach at portraying home as a feeling rather than a location even if it is just the feeling of nostalgia. It also is an afterword of a novel that I will soon be publishing. This collection is of the Epic genre, so the poems are quite lengthy and they are for everyone and anyone. I hope the readers relate to what’s been written. This is also not anything close to instapoetry/pop-poetry.

"MEDUSA and the Playboy: new and selected poems," is a triumph and culmination of over 20 years of poetry in the making.

In this work, are 300 plus new poems, each better placed than the previous 5 volumes of poetry published. Also, from an unpublished manuscript, 1 of a few, comes "Mutiny of Language," an earlier work that housed not only the original manuscript of "Fame-seekers," but a Sci-Fi Fantastical Voyage, called: "Neo-alienation," for which there is an Audiobook aswell. There are no boundaries, that Oliver Allen has not strived to reach in this complete work, speaking on Death, Loss, Life, Love, The Absurd, The Abstract and meaning of Family. This work in its entirety summarizes a major milestone, in the Poet, Writer and Amateur Musician Oliver Allen's Life, thusfar... (If you enjoy this read, do not hestitate to leave a review, it would be much appreciated...) Thank you 4 reading, and your continued support! God bless always...

Daylen of Brunhylde


Daylen of Brunhylde: A Tale of FéLorën

However, a life of freedom will come at a heavy price. History has shown he is destined to live a life in hiding, forever on the run, and to have his life cut short at the hands of a Mageslayer. Perhaps the worst outcome of all, is the likelihood that he would never realize his full potential or ever feel at home in the world.


Unbeknownst to Daylen, Fate has other plans. Whispers of a long-forgotten path and the opportunity for Mastery will reveal itself. The way will be arduous, the sacrifice extraordinary, but it is the only way to unlock his full potential. It is the way of virtue, the way to awakening… The way of FéLorën.

Lycanthropy and Other Chronic Illnesses:

A Novel


 One of POPSUGAR's Best YA Books of April

Kids’ Indie Next List Pick for Spring 2021
A SIBA Read This Next Selection for Spring 2021

Teen Wolf meets Emergency Contact in this sharply observed, hilarious, and heartwarming debut young adult novel about friendship, chronic illness, and . . . werewolves.

Priya worked hard to pursue her premed dreams at Stanford, but a diagnosis of chronic Lyme disease during her sophomore year sends her back to her loving family in New Jersey—and leaves her wondering if she’ll ever be able to return to the way things were.

Thankfully she has her online pen pal, Brigid, and the rest of the members of “oof ouch my bones,” a virtual support group that meets on Discord to crack jokes and vent about their own chronic illnesses.

When Brigid suddenly goes offline, Priya does something out of character: she steals the family car and drives to Pennsylvania to check on Brigid. Priya isn’t sure what to expect, but it isn’t the horrifying creature that's shut in the basement.

With Brigid nowhere to be found, Priya begins to puzzle together an impossible but obvious truth: the creature might be a werewolf—and the werewolf might be Brigid. 

As Brigid's unique condition worsens, their friendship will be deepened and challenged in unexpected ways, forcing them to reckon with their own ideas of what it means to be normal. As Pryia and Brigid learn to navigate the realities of their chronic illnesses they experience joy of friendship and some hilarious antics. Things heat up when Spencer, the handsome and kind animal control officer, joins in to help Brigid and Priya.
