Circumcised at Seventeen

A Previously Uncut Comedy

By: Brian Robert Smith

Just think of it as a bad haircut." Hubert watched the surgeon hold up a sterile bag of circumcision tools. "A week from now you won't feel a thing." For geeky teenager, Hubert Pubes Rawlings, his new job as a shopping center food court cleaner is one thing, but a picture with the hot cleaning crew exposing him as the only cleaner who's uncut is too much, too fast. When his obscure mother stresses over his nightly dream adventures then catches his father in a single handed affair, she insists Hubert undergo a circumcision. “It’s all about sensitivity, dear. I certainly don’t want you to do like daddy does.” Meanwhile, because of the picture, Hubert's popularity has soared. His best friend, Will, tries to convince him that it’s a good thing. That may be fine for Will to say, but for Hubert, it's simply not the case. With the circumcision complete, Hubert struggles with his popularity among the food court hotties. Will's constant encouragement and the cleaning crew's threatening jealousy adds to his problems—not to mention having to keep his secret of being Circumcised at Seventeen.

Tom and the Sagittarius

By: Brian Karre

Who is writing your horoscope? Tom and Leigh lived in a small mountain town about an hour outside of Yellowstone National Park. They met every morning at a coffee shop before work. The first thing Leigh would do after she sat across from Tom was read the astrology section in the local newspaper. She’s a Sagittarius and followed anything that mentioned her sign religiously. When Tom found out that Leigh might be leaving his life, he knew that he had to do everything he could to try and stop her from going. And there was only one thing that Tom would be able to do to convince Leigh that she was not supposed to go. He had to make sure it was written in the stars.

P. Lovecraft: The slumbering monster-gods return to the world of mortals. ¸ Notebook Found in a Deserted House by Robert Bloch: A lone farmboy chronicles his last stand against a hungering backwoods evil. ¸ Cold Print by Ramsey Campbell: An avid reader of forbidden books finds a treasure trove of deadly volumes--available for a bloodcurdling price. ¸ The Freshman by Philip José Farmer: A student of the black arts receives an education in horror at notorious Miskatonic University.

The Mangan Inheritance

The Mangan Inheritance

By: Brian Moore

Not so long ago James Mangan was a brilliant young poet. These days, however, he toils as a journalist and shivers in the shadow of his glamorous movie-star wife. And now she has left him for her lover. Adrift and depressed, Jamie takes refuge with his father, in whose house he turns up a 19th-century daguerreotype bearing the initials “J.M.” and depicting a man who, as it happens, is Jamie’s spitting image. Could this be the only existing photograph of his purported ancestor, the legendarily dissolute Irish poet James Clarence Mangan? Obsessed by this strange resemblance—and aided by an unexpected financial windfall—Jamie heads to Ireland thinking at last to discover that elusive entity: himself. Instead, in the dreary coastal village of Drishane, he meets the Mangans: derelict Eileen, sullen Dinny, drunken (and shrunken) Conor, and the sexy and very available Kathleen. They know something, for sure—something to do with Jamie, and something they don’t want him to find out. The Mangan Inheritance is melodrama at its most inventive and suggestive, an inquiry into the problem of identity and the nature of ancestry that beguiles the reader with dark deeds, wild humor, and weird goings-on, on its way towards a shocking and terrifying—and utterly satisfying—conclusion.

Re-Imagining Educational Leadership

By: Brian Caldwell

`If one is concerned with the future of education this book is a must. While it is humbling it is also an inspirational invitation for transformation' - Florida Journal of Educational Administration & Policy `It is clear that school leadership has had to adapt to the changing educational climate and this has required changes at all levels, as well as shifts in balance. This book addresses these challenges and demonstrates a variety of illustrative examples of how successful these changes can be. This is a useful primer for those studying leadership in schools and some of the associated theories and practice . There are wide and well-considered references across the educational and management lendscape and it provides thought-provoking views on how leadership can be practised'-ESCalate `The fact that we know you are watching, Brian, helps all of us both to perform well in the present and to invent a future in which we perform better still...I commend Brian's writings to anyone committed to world-class public education' - Professor Sir Michael Barber, Expert Partner, Global Public Sector Practice, McKinsey and Company, Former Head of Prime Minister's Delivery Unit at 10 Downing Street `In Re-imagining Educational Leadership Brian Caldwell has set an outstanding framework for school leaders and educators to fundamentally rethink schools and school leadership. The book is very perceptive and links ideas and concepts to the practical reality of schools in an inspiring and imaginative way. This is a 'must read' book for all those involved in developing inspiring leadership in our schools. This is a major contribution to the educational literature' - Professor Brent Davies, Professor of International Leadership Development at the University of Hull `Brian Caldwell has successfully brought together an analysis of past and current practice in leadership but, most significantly, he has outlined key thoughts, ideas and perspectives to inspire leaders in their personal learning journey in the future... This book will become one of the key sources of ideas for leadership in schools over the next few years. It is both accessible and thought provoking while never losing the practical relevance to schools and school leaders. This is a "must read" for all those involved in educational leadership and 21st century schooling' - International Journal of Educational Management We do not know the precise form that education will take in different settings in 25 years' time. No-one does. No-one should claim to have this foresight. Leadership is required, however, regardless of the form that education takes. In this book, Brian Caldwell draws on his work on self-managing schools, his most recent work in the UK with the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust, and on evidence from around the world, to describe how leadership is changing the world of education on a scale that can best be described as transformation. Such leadership differs in important ways from what has been expected in the past: it requires a change in role at all levels, and shifts the balance from what is often a dispiriting and discouraging experience to one that is exhilarating. The author's insight and recommendations are essential reading for all school leaders, potential school leaders and policy makers at local and national levels who seek to secure high levels of achievement for all students in all settings. About the author Brian J. Caldwell is Managing Director of Melbourne-based Educational Transformations, and Professorial Fellow at the University of Melbourne where he served as Dean of Education from 1998 to 2004. He is Associate Director-Global of International Networking for Educational Transformation, a project of the London-based Specialist Schools and Academies Trust. Brian is internationally known as an expert in educational leadership. Awards include the Gold Medal of the Australian Council of Educational Leaders, the Hedley Beare Educator of the Year Award (Victoria), and the College Medal (Australia) of the Australian College of Educators.
