A romantic mob comedy. It's the heydays of the Jersey mob. Who knew these guys could be this nuts!"Falling down funny! Like Borat's idiot cousin meeting the Sopranos!" - R. Clark, Senior Screenwriter, Film/TV, Team Lead Comedy This is a story mainly about Joey and Zoey. But first, there was mob boss, Big Paulie Pasquale, and his video will. In it he tells his crew to protect and provide work for his idiot nephew and godson, Joseph Blanconi: “JOEY BLANKS.” Grudgingly, they do so. Then they find that Joey has an upside. They can give him contracts to hit fellow mobster which he will screw up in such earnest but spectacular fashion that the target will realize there's a contract out and will either settle up the grievance, or flee the country, the only two mob outs. All is going well in Joey's world as he manages to mangle a few hit assignments, a few mob guys leave the country, and the crew is generally happy with Joey as their fallback guy. That is until Joey manages to lose five million dollars of mob money out of the back of his beaten up old Mazda hatchback. When he screws up THAT big, he ends up in waaaay over his head and on the run from unforgiving crime boss Vince Capellini. Good thing his gal Zoey is there to save his butt. Over and over she saves his butt. Can she do it again this time?

Then they just have to convince Vince to meet with them without shooting them so they can explain it all. Being that they are based in South Amboy, New Jersey, they set the up meeting at one of Joey’s favorite good luck places, the Pinball Museum at Asbury Park out on the Jersey shore. When Vince shows up with Big Angie and Carmine the Castrator in tow, someone had better be ready to do some fast thinking―and talking.In the end, Zoey ends up being the one who stands up to the Jersey mob, explains how she put together a plan to recover all the loot and basically saves the day ... and Joey’s butt. Again!

As the war drew to a close, its heavy toll weighed mightily on Stella Benson’s heart. Any means of escape was viable, as long as it took her truth with it. Living Alone, the most fantastical and delightfully wayward of her first three novels, was her exhausted mind’s perfect project for the times. In the dark days of 1918, Sarah Brown, who is a little tired and dispirited, and also not completely well, is minding her own business, doing what she ought in helping the poor in her rundown part of London. She is the much put-upon dogsbody of a small committee designed to assist needy cases. At the latest dull meeting with Mrs Meta Ford, Lady Arabel Higgins and the Mayor there is an extraordinary interruption as a youngish woman storms into the room and hides under the table. It eventuates that she is being chased for the capital crime of stealing a bun from a baker’s shop! This crazy meeting is a critical one in Sarah’s life. The young woman, whose name is never quite clear, turns out to be something quite unexpected – a witch. Sarah forms a bond with her, fascinated by this explosion of magic in a desperately hurt and drab world. As she meets the witch’s outré associates and talks the kind of wildly honest sense with her that has seemed missing for so long, she finds herself on adventures involving forbidden sandwiches, soldiers who are wizards, meeting ghosts in an air raid shelter, and cloudfights with an evil German witch, all punctuated with her witch’s little paper packets of magic, whose effects tend to turn dreary people into fascinating beings. This intriguing novel of great tenderness and smart wit also betrays the sense of enervated tension that was prevalent in Britain after five long years of horror. It is a plaintive cry for peace, beauty and humanity in a world made brutal. Living Alone was first published in 1919.

"Once again it rang out, and at its awful reiteration the righteous men and the hunt ceased to be people of any class or time or creed, and became creatures swayed by one primeval passion - fear. They crouched and shuddered like beaten dogs as the terrible cry once more roused the shivering echoes: 'Gone to earth! Gone to earth!'" Mary Webb's second novel, first published in 1917, is one of the most unusual of the twentieth century. It is strikingly modern in some of its themes, but is also markedly a rural fable. It is as if a west country medieval storyteller had whispered in the ear of Thomas Hardy or Emily Bronte just as they were spinning a tale... Hazel, the lonely young daughter of harpist, beeman and coffin-maker Abel Woodus, has been brought up very loosely by him after the death of his gypsy wife. He is a cool and distant man; their isolated tumbledown cottage deep in the Shropshire countryside rarely sees a visitor. Hazel has turned instead to nature, and particularly animals, as her guide to life and love. She has an intense natural feeling for any creature that suffers, and looks at the outer world as inimical to her and those she cares for, in particular her best friend, Foxy, a young vixen she has rescued. But Hazel is growing older, and men are beginning to notice her stormy youthful beauty. Into her superstitious, naïve, uncomprehending and fearful mindscape come harbingers of the disturbing outer world. First her cousin Albert is shaken when he sees her again after a long lapse. Then, on the overnight walking journey home from Albert's house in the big town, Hazel loses her way, and is taken up by Jack Reddin, a sensualist local squire who cannot believe his luck in coming across her. She escapes his clutches in the nick of time with the help of his sour manservant, but Jack is determined to find her and claim her for his own, scouring the countryside asking after her. Still managing to evade him, Hazel attends a local glee or choir-meeting where her father harps and she sings, and it is there that yet another man is astonished by what he sees. This is Edward Marston, the tender young minister of a small chapel on a steep hill, called locally God's Little Mountain. The scene is now set for a titanic struggle between lustful Jack and gentle Edward over Hazel, where all their frailties and failings will tell terribly. Hazel is caught in a bewildering trap of desire and pain in which her changeable, independence-loving, wild young heart is tested to its limit. With the intense, spiralling, atmospheric prose of a folktale, Mary Webb unforgettably tells an earthy story of fear, desire, love, and violence both spiritual and physical, where the respectable world's assumptions are severely challenged by one of life's originals. Reviewing it in the Times Literary Supplement on its first publication, Rebecca West said 'She is a genius, and I shouldn't mind wagering that she is going to be the most distinguished writer of our generation.'
