Designing and Building a Grandfather Clock

Williams, Gary

A.S.Barnes & Co.

For several years, author Gary Williams has walked his female yellow Labrador retriever, Guen, through the historic streets of St. Augustine, Florida, and posted their amusing--sometimes educational, mostly whimsical--conversations on social media. (Yes, dogs can talk. Just ask any dog owner.) For the first time, these daily exchanges between man and man's best friend have been captured in a book featuring the "best of" the Walking Guen posts. Follow along as Gary and Guen discuss such deep philosophical and socially relevant topics as the Village People, bubble wrap, Oz, ice cream, firemen, organ concerts, and the Death Star. Each conversation is accompanied by Gary's original grainy flip-phone camera photo of Guen as they weave their way through the streets. So, sit back, relax, and follow along on these daily light-hearted discussions where beast often gets the better of man.

This hilarious follow-up to Walking Guen is sure to leave you smiling. While walking Guen through the historic streets of St. Augustine this morning, she found a cushion on Sevilla Street. She turned and said, “This reminds me, I once knew a guy who owned a drinking establishment and—”“You knew a guy who owned a bar?”“I have friends. Anyway, his patrons complained that his bar chairs were uncomfortable, so he added cushions. But then business dropped off because he kept referring to the cushions as stool softeners.”I looked at her in silence for a long moment. “Keep walking, Guen.”

Walking Guen, Again

In this third book, Gary and his dog, Guen, return to the historic streets of St. Augustine, Florida, to discuss such wide-ranging topics as Edgar Allan Poe, disco, black holes, dinosaur ghosts, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, Village People, and more. This continuing series is sure to leave you smiling, or shaking your head, or both. While walking Guen through the historic streets of St. Augustine this morning, we were on Carrera Street when I said, "Congratulations are in order, Guen. When they weighed you at the vet's office yesterday, you were seven pounds lighter than last year. That's a good chunk of extra padding." "It wasn't extra 'padding.' I like to think of it as shedding my 'winter buffer.' " "Were you expecting a blizzard in St. Augustine last year?"

Walking Guen, Some More

With his father in a coma, CIA operative Samuel Tolen may have found a way to answer mankind’s greatest question: Is there life after death? When the Sudarium of Oviedo—the venerable cloth that once covered Jesus Christ’s face on the cross—is stolen from a cathedral in Spain, it sparks a series of grisly murders. Each victim is killed in a manner resembling the form of execution of one of the Apostles. American CIA operative Samuel Tolen, Spanish inspector Pascal Diaz, and British archaeologist Dr. Jade Mollur embark on a journey to reclaim the Sudarium. Their search takes a surprising turn when a 2,000-year-old clue from Joseph of Arimathea suggests a far greater secret is within reach; a startling discovery that would forever change humanity. Embroiled in a deadly hunt that takes them from the grounds of Harvard University to the coast of Costa Rica, from a hallowed Greek Isle to an exquisite Spanish cathedral, and ultimately to the doorstep of mankind’s greatest civilization, Tolen, Diaz, and Mollur will search for the ultimate truth in the midst of unspeakable deception. But is it a truth mankind was meant to discover?
