This book is a well-connected web of stories involving a motel turned apartment’s amusing and provocative residents.

The Day Gravity Became Irrelevant by Ralph Rotten
A few years ago I met this author at the Tucson Festival of Books and picked up the first book in his Calizona series. I loved the irony, sarcasm, and banter between his characters.

So, I switched to the bikes – another 20 minutes but no increase in speed or resistance. I was enjoying the book so much I passed … Continue reading Merry Hanukkah by Debby Caruso
