Charm School
Homer's Odyssey springs to life in comically witty, psychologically rich poetry full of epic resonance in Randall J. VanderMey's Charm School: Five Women of the Odyssey (Artamo Press, 2007). In dramatic monologues and dialogues, the drama of Odysseus's long-delayed homecoming from the Trojan War is told as a series of encounters with five strong women: Circe, Calypso, Nausicaa, Athena, and Penelope. The famed encounters are there--the Cyclops, the Lotus Eaters, the Clashing Rocks, the descent into the Underworld--but the real story here is one of seduction, faithfulness, devotion to duty, and the ultimate testing of love. Who is the greater hero in the end: tardy Odysseus or long-suffering Penelope? Though full of contemporary references, Charm School is true to its Homeric source; it will make a thought-provoking addition to any course in Greek mythology.
Not Enough of Her
This true account is filled with just about something for everyone. It is foremost an intimate love story.

Married or single, in or out of a relationship, young or old, male or female, this delightful journey of real-life memories will illustrate important life lessons that were learned by living them. It will bring smiles and chuckles, and possibly a few tears as well.
