It's Too Late to Leave Early
Joseph Heller's rollicking novel, Catch-22, used black humor to point out, and point up, the inanities and insanities experienced by men at war. In a similar vein, It's Too Late to Leave Early employs plain vanilla humor to illustrate the frustrations and idiocies common to an industry the author, a former aerospace engineer, knows all too well. You'll meet many outrageous characters a one time porn queen who's into blackmail; the wealthy great-grandson of a Russian aviation pioneer who'lll do anything to get back the company he believes was "stolen" from his family; a former Air Force lieutenant colonel who reinvents himself as a totally inept favorite of management; a wannabe Western film star who's never been within fifty yards of a horse; an ultra-paranoid executive vice president and general manager; a nymphomaniacal lady scheduler and sundry others all of whom are embroiled in situations ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime, and beyond. Enjoy!
Flesh and Metal
A unique collection of Audrey Lee's stories, fables, and fantasies, drawing on an immensely rich variety of material. Cyborgs and Goddesses vie for the future, gender and power influence the lives of ordinary men and women. Some of these stories are deeply moving, some humorous, All are concerned with psychological truth, and always more concerned with spirit than flesh or metal. The author has included a memoir of her childhood, and two stories about the childhood of her mother, who spent her early years in an orphanage. The author is an artist, and illustrates the book with her own oil paintings and drawings. 'The Night's Plutonian Shore' is a quotation from 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe, and is a fitting allusion. The night is a symbol of darkness and mystery, 'Plutonian' is a reference to the Roman god of the underworld, and 'Shore' is a metaphor for the night as a vast, mysterious ocean. This book is published with black and white illustrations. A more expensive edition is available with coloured illustrations.
