Another myrockandrollbook by Sigmund Brouwer, this one in The Watch Out For Joel series. Joel knows he, Ricky, and Lisa are bound for trouble when they build the world’s biggest slingshot. No one listens when Joel tells them trying it out might not be a bright idea!If 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' met 'Inception' in the shadow of Norwich Cathedral the result would be 'In Dreams' by James Eddy...When Oliver Bell meets a beautiful young woman one night in his dreams, he literally can’t get her out of his mind. Unfortunately, he also can’t tell if she’s anything more than just a wonderful figment of his imagination. It’s only when she starts leaving him clues for how to find her in the real world that Oliver’s sense of fantasy and reality begin to blur into something strange and new. The journey that follows takes Oliver everywhere he can imagine and beyond; across the country to a city he doesn’t know, to things from his terrible past he would rather forget; over concrete and bluebells and snow and ice; all leading him to the truth that love can exist in dreams.

The Aggravation of Elmer

Clasic Science Fiction! The world would beat a path to Elmer\'s door--but he had to go carry the door along with him! It was the darnedest traffic jam I\'d ever seen in White Plains. For two blocks ahead of me, Main Street was gutter to gutter with stalled cars, trucks and buses. If I hadn\'t been in such a hurry to get back to the shop, I might have paid more attention. I might have noticed nobody was leaning on his horn. Or that at least a quarter of the drivers were out peering under their hoods.

Yet even she didn't think it would be possible for an outsider to locate the town and cause trouble in the place she's come to call home.When a US Marshal shows up demanding the release of one of the residents, but won't say who, Casey and her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, are skeptical. And yet only hours later, the marshal is shot dead and the only possible suspects are the townspeople and Casey's estranged sister, smuggled into town to help with a medical emergency. It's up to Casey to figure out who murdered the marshal, and why someone would kill to keep him quiet—before the killer strikes again.**Review**Praise for Kelley Armstrong "Armstrong is a talented and evocative writer who knows well how to balance the elements of good, suspenseful fiction, and her stories evoke poignancy, action, humour and suspense." —The Globe and Mail "Kelley Armstrong has long been a favorite of mine." —Charlaine Harris "[A] master of crime thrillers." —Kirkus Reviews "Like Stephen King, who manages an under-the-covers, flashlight-in-face kind of storytelling without sounding ridiculous, Armstrong not only writes interesting page-turners, she has also achieved that unlikely goal, what all writers strive for: a genre of her own." —The Walrus "Kelley Armstrong is one of my favorite writers." —Karin Slaughter "Kelley Armstrong is one of the purest storytellers Canada has produced in a long while." —National Post About the Author KELLEY ARMSTRONG graduated with a degree in psychology and then studied computer programming.
