Cas was looking for a job and then he found a job … 
Inspired by his remarkable flatmate’s talent and luck, Cas embarks on a mission of his own to create a video that will make him rich and famous. Unaware that fate has other ideas for his future, he pursues his goal blind to the warnings.

What I have to say about The Krankies Go Dogging:

This is probably one of the most hilarious books I've ever come across. It had me in fits of giggles, and I very quickly abandoned trying to guess where the plot would lead, as it's totally unpredictable, while at the same time makes perfect, if weird, sense.






When Emily Palmer finds herself in the waiting area of the labour ward with an irate mother-to-be, she recounts the story of how she happens to be there, alone, to calm the situation. 
Her bizarre courtroom tale, of the oddest custody battle in history, gives her reason to reflect on the outcome of her child's future happiness on the small decision of her birth name.

What I have to say about Janine, Eggs and Lemons:
When I saw that Jes had written another book, I instantly jumped up and bought it. A wise decision. The story is hilarious, with many an unexpected twist. I finished it in one go, and the only negative comment I have is, boy, I wish it had been longer. Jes did the world a favor by writing her autobiography, and it's great to see she now aims to entertain. Great start, Jes, more, please.









"Even when I die, I will come back to haunt you." 
It's time for Jes to bury Marie's ghosts forever.





Six-year-old Marie finds her world has changed and become one of confusion, deceit and abuse.
No longer called by her birth name, she is unaffectionately referred to as Scrag - a shortened version of Scraggy-knickered-nut-rag.
Her will to survive manifests quite bizarre tactics, as she deviates off course into a childhood of insanity, paranoia, glue-sniffing, self-harming and messages from David Bowie ringing through her ears.
Her mind contrives strategies to cope with the continued onslaught that it seems destined to endure.
Adulthood is her escape route if she can survive the wait, but can demons be truly locked away in the past forever?
This is the story of one child's mind at the mercy of a real life monster.


What I have to say about Up The Hill Backwards:
When courage and talent combine, a book like this is born.
Thanks, Jes, for having the guts to go get up and face the memories long enough to be able to put them into such a well-written flow of words. Big kudos to you.
