Book Description

This is a two-book compilation of "Creatures," and "Robobro - Urban Warrior." "Creatures," is an action-filled Sci-Fi Comedy Thriller. Adapted from Danny D'Agostino's acclaimed audio book, "Creatures" has been updated as a novel with a wealth of new comedy and action to excite and titillate the reader. See several reviews of the audio book below. Stan and Leroy Hangjab, two street-wise detectives from the Southside of Chicago, and the precocious 14 year old Richard T. McCormick the 4th, rescue the City of Chicago from the clutches of the evil DNA genius, Dr. Franklin Norman Stein and his mutant humanoid creatures. Pandemonium and chaos break out when Stein's ferocious creatures threaten the fate of the entire city of Chicago. Stan, narrating the action at Police Headquarters: "The place was in pandemonium: cops criss-crossing the office, bumping into each other like a pinball machine. All the phones were ringing. As we entered the Chief's office, he was on the phone with the mayor, who was screaming, 'I want this situation turned 360 degrees around! You hear me?!'" I yelled "Chief!" Maybe I spoke too loud at the wrong moment, 'cause the Chief spilled his milk on his bobbing duck, and his right eye began twitching. And before we could get in a word, the Chief got a little huffy. "I know what happened! Things were all right around here until you two characters showed up. Now I got trouble with a capital 'H' for Hangjab!" He reached for two bottles of pills - one for his blood pressure and one for his ulcers. "Where's my Tums Ultra?!" he yelled. "Who took my Tums Ultra pills?!" "They're in your hands, Chief," I answered. And the Chinese pols from Chinatown were none too happy either: "Nobody in this room know nothing! Get better advice from a dog!"Reviews:"Superbly produced, bluntly humorous, outstandingly written."-Midwest Book Review"Outrageousness, hard-boiled detective fiction, hardy series of guffaws can cloud your vision."-Rich Gotshall, Indianapolis Star"Fantastic. I was astounded."-Thomas Fortenberry, Charlotte, N C"A wonderful mixture of comedy and science fiction."-Harold McFarland, Readers Preference Reviews"Kudos to Danny D'Agostino."-Anthony Buccino, Reviewer/Writer, Nutley, New Jersey "Robobro" is an entertaining, sci-fi comedy adventure, featuring four young, broke L.A. dudes, the urban hip generation, who accidentally find a very unusual abandoned CIA project in a junkyard - a talking, half human robot. When they bring it home and power it up, they soon discover they have a half black "bro," half robot on their hands with an outrageous, sarcastic personality, a fact they learn right quick. Robobro's first words: "Damn! . . . I'm trapped in a garage with four busted homies, direct descendants of Moe, Larry, and Curly, Stupids one, two three and four." Robobro, minutes later: . . . "Planet earth to broke dudes. It takes technology to fix me. And cash! Like I suppose you're all graduates of Van Nuys Body and Fender 'U'. (singing) 'Hey, hey, body and fender! Gi' me some bondo and I'll make you a fender!' . . . "Flash! I need high tech geeks. Do any of you know what a printed circuit board is? A transistor? A diode? Can any of you spell volt?" That's Robobro. When they finally repair him and update all of his electronics, they discover he has unique powers for urban combat, which the boys employ to rid dangerous gangs from one of L.A's most crime ridden neighborhoods. Ultimately, they do achieve their dream of owning the best custom car shop in all L.A. Last point: Although Robobro can bend metal in his bare hands, he is terribly frightened of spiders and alley rats, and one special lady who carries the story to a novel, unpredictable end. He's a character, all right. "Robobro" is written in a dialogue style for easy, enjoyable reading.

Book Description

A comedy with real heart, the story of "Lenny" unfolds in a close-knit, very diverse Staten Island neighborhood, the home of many of America's newer immigrant citizens living along side lower income Caucasians. In this melting pot, almost everyone knows Lenny. They regard him as friendly, likable, "wouldn't hurt a flea." And above all, they respect Lenny's smarts; Lenny achieves great grades in school, and graduates college with high honors, earning a degree with two majors: math and accounting. Yet Lenny has his own personal challenges; born into a family of hypochondriacs, small physique, lack of confidence as a kid, and little respect from his jealous grammar school classmates, who he still knows, and from the opposite sex. One would think this brainy little kid would be destined to conquer his personal problems and achieve unmatched success as an adult. But bad luck follows Lenny like a menacing cloud when he graduates college during the dreaded recession of 2008 and can't find a job for nothin'. He joins the millions of struggling new college grads, and becomes hopelessly unemployed. The whole neighborhood is left shaking their heads in disappointment, especially when they see Lenny walk sadly by, struggling to eke out a living on the street, by offering his services as a tax accountant to anyone who would hire him. And just when Lenny has absorbed the worst of his young life, he is informed that he has a fatal disease. This is where our story takes a surprising turn. Instead of giving up, and retreating from life, instead of hiding out in his room and waiting to die, this small stature of a man becomes bold, exceedingly bold. He amazes everyone with his determination to make a positive, real impact in this small community before his demise. Read what Lenny does; how he conquers his misfortune, how this terribly unlucky, beloved person becomes the hero of the neighborhood. "Lenny" is written in a dialogue style for easy, enjoyable reading.

"The Dollar Store Lady - Bad Blood!!" is both a novel and a play, written in a dialogue style for easy, enjoyable reading. Excite your funny bone with this outrageous comedy that explores the absurdity of excessive shopping, which seems much too common in our modern day society. Consider Edna our dedicated shopper, the most diligent, obsessed bargain hunter anyone could ever meet. Her home: hand painted little bunnies, miniature porcelain duckies, kissing turtle ash trays, ceramic Dutch family figurines, bobble-head sea horses, a butterfly mobile, a neon rock guitar mobile, a dancing Teddy Bear, a little doggie house, - knick-knacks adorn almost every room of this cozy home on the South Side of Chicago - purchased from flea markets, dollar stores, craft fairs and shows, church bizarres, and every retailer you know, etc. etc., etc. And she drags her poor husband Fred around to buy all this stuff!! She knows almost every sale before they advertise it. Spend! Spend! Spend! Why? Why? Why? We know she is not doing it on her own. There's a little matter of her older sister, Eleanor, the bad blood of the family. Eleanor's attitude towards Fred: "Of all the gin joints and saloons on the South Side, of all the good people you could have met in your life, you come home with this one." Eleanor encourages her sister to spend all of Fred's money. Poor Fred. He's a common guy, hard-working stiff who actually loves his wife. But who can survive the strain of Edna and Eleanor together, spending and doing things behind his back. That's what really gets him! It's pure pain for Fred. You guessed it. There is "Trouble in River City," huge trouble in this marriage. They have Fred talking to himself: "Twenty years of marriage, every day a rat race, up in the morning work all day, up in the morning work all day, up in the morning work all day . . . and for what? What's the prize at the end of the line? I'll tell you what the prize is: two raw eggs, charcoal toast, and hair in my coffee . . . And there's a hole in the toe of my sock! Why is there a hole in the toe of my sock? An intelligent workin' man like me has to go to work with a hole in the toe of his sock . . . 'cause my wife don't have time to sew my socks!" (more from Fred) "Sale!! Now you said it! If the Statue of Liberty was on sale, would you buy that too?! Edna, you spend so much time at those department stores, what do they have there? Weddings or funerals? Or what?" Read "The Dollar Store - Bad Blood!!" and learn how Edna defends herself successfully, and how the two together repair their marriage. Enjoy this entertaining laugh fest, originally written by Michael D'Agostino.
