Winner: Best of the Best E-Books Award, 2009 Review: I asked for original....I got original. Redeeming Stanley is like no other book I've ever read, and that's saying a lot. Hilarious at every turn, Redeeming Stanley is a fast, fun page-turner of a novel. I'm loath to summarize it because I don't want to give anything away, but if you've ever woken up and realized you were sleeping with someone way below you in the cosmic gene pool, this book is for you. If you've ever sought to redeem someone who is unredeemable , this book is for you. If you've ever wondered where the old gods hang out now, this book is for you. And if you've ever thirsted for revenge - good, old fashioned, hell-raising revenge, this book is for you. If you're uptight, for God's sake, do not read this book. But if you're a grown-up with a sense of humor, you're going to love it. Jennifer Fedderson Acquisitions Editor, AudioLark Books Synopsis: Meet Weldon Frame, self-diagnosed shrewd businessman, babe magnet, and mail room clerk extraordinaire. Meet Annie, Weldon's ex-girlfriend, mother of his unexpected child, and recently-identified gold-digging stone-cold bitch. Meet Stan and Babe, Prince of Demons and Whore of Babylon. Meet Angela, born-again Christian with a jones for Stan. Meet Grandma, a ghost who liked the family dog a little too well. Meet the Freak...well, maybe not. Meet the Coppess, a gum-snapping state trooper who has Weldon's sterling piece of American automotive engineering towed, leaving him afoot and furious in the middle of the Southern California desert night. And Annie, the stone-cold bitch, won't come pick him up. Clearly, Payback is in order. The rest is inevitable.
