Grantasms


Book Description

Do you enjoy funny words or expressions you can relate to personally? Don't you wish you had a great way to share them with others so they could relate to them as well? Would you use them in conversations to have more laughs, maybe enjoyable and meaningful relationships? Would you want to be a better storyteller? Or just maybe, you just wish you could relieve some social anxiety and disconnectedness - i.e., "break the ice?"We now have an amazing new wordplay for everyone trying to keep their head above water and thrive in our modern Social Era. It will transform your frustrations into laughter, distractions into directions, boredom into a brain game, and icebreakers into warm human relations. It's called, "Grantasms."Grantasms are creative, twisted words with genuine stories that make for enjoyable conversations. They're word orgasms, created for a strong connection-with your mind, body, emotions, and other people. This book is the personal storytelling of Twisted Wordsmith, Grant Crowell. It's packed with funny and relatable anecdotes that you can easily apply for your own life!This book has Grantasms for all kinds of social situations. From the mundane to the insane, and everywhere in between. In these pages you'll learn what's "imboretant" and what's not. You'll find out the difference between "messytasking" and "mastertasking." You might avoid showing up at a job interview with your "resumess." And you might better understand why someone you've always liked is an "endorfriend." They'll even help you laugh at your mistakes and failures, like when you make a "digital douche" - which is what I call a social faux pas, online.

Corpus Delectable


Book Description

Give her five minutes more, I thought . . . More than an hour had passed since Jean Putnam’s voice had promised on the phone that she would be there. As I started back to my office I gave a final look down the corridor, and suddenly she was there, framed in the stairwell. She was dressed in a very fetching pirate costume, the purposely ragged bottoms of her scarlet pants reaching to just below the hips. Her legs were bare from there on down to black oilcloth boots. She hadn’t moved, and a new sensation blew cold across the back of my neck. As I lunged for her she crumbled and fell backwards down the yawning stairwell. When I reached her on the next landing I saw that not all the redness was in her costume. A bullet had struck her in the back.




Word


Book Description

Growing up, Mykel Mitchell found more truth in the words of Run DMC than any preacher’s sermon. He saw more prosperity in the lives of local drug dealers than in the lives of neighborhood saints. It was only natural that he would gravitate toward hustling. Years later, when “the life” left him empty and he had nothing to lose, he gave Jesus Christ a chance—and he has never looked back. In Word, Mykel takes us on the personal, moving and at times humorous journey that helped him reconcile his faith in Christ, not only with his intellect and instincts—but with his passion for all things hip hop. In this refreshingly candid take on Church doctrine, he addresses questions like: “Why does God need my money?” and “What’s the big deal with sex anyway?” and explains how he came to rock baggy jeans and sports jerseys right along with his platinum cross and tattered bible, without shame or apologies.
