Bloomington, Indiana: Wordclay, 2008. Appears unread. Near Fine condition. Sharp corners. Flat, uncreased spine. Long full page inscription on the front inside cover is SIGNED by both AUTHORS (however we suspect the two "authors" are the same person since the handwriting for both signatures appears identical). 2008. First Edition. Subtitle: "Some fairy tales were never meant… to be real." From the rear cover: "Once upon a time: Christina was your average spunky teenager going through high school armed with only her wit, and her best friend Gloria. Soon the Goth duo finds themselves consistantly in and out of the law. This is of course because Gloria's father is the Chief of police. Finally it seems that luck has finally smiled on the best friends, when they are offered a chance to be part of the 'Junior Detectives' (think CSI for teenagers). Soon Christina and Gloria find out there is more to police work then donuts and coffee breaks. When our hero's soon learn some of the towns people will kill to keep their secrets dead and buried. What ensues is a hilariously clever thriller that puts a black comedy spin on an age old classic, Cinderella." 5" wide by 8" tall.. INSCRIBED / SIGNED by both AUTHORS. First Edition. Softcover.

From the rear cover: "Los Angeles, December 2012. The end of the world has been predicted! People are ticking like time bombs, but Abel Spielberg just wants to get out of his father's Beverly Hills mansion and back to teaching yoga in India. His plans are hijacked when he helps online friend, stripper Kandy Kane, organize a protest against the all-new remote-controlled Breast-o-Matic 2000 implants. In a series of unexpected events Abel becomes a messiah-like leader. His journey takes him from being accused of kidnapping a police officer to almost being assassinated while on a whistle stop train tour across the United States. Along the way he is joined by a rag-tag team of twelve apostles who as 'The Kommittee' lead America and change the world." From Matthew Costello, author of VACATION: REVOLUTION AMERICAN STYLE is a multimedia, no sacred cows allowed, funny and ferocious satire on politics, media monsters and the American way of life in the age of tweets, blogs, and 'friends.' While it's Greg Acuna's sharp writing and characters, both weird and wonderful, that pulls you in, it's his very funny, 'this close to reality'story that'll hold you. Grab this one now!" From Lee Siegel, author of LOVE IN A DEAD LANGUAGE: "Readers of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your ideas about politics and fiction. Greg Acuna's hilariously revolutionary web-connected novel is a delight to explore and experience. It's at once a provocative social critique and a zany riff and romp. REVOLUTION AMERICAN STYLE is lots and lots of deadly serious fun.". INSCRIBED & SIGNED by the AUTHOR. First Edition (so stated). Trade Paperback. Fine condition.
