Growing Up & Facts of Life

Follow the adventures of Corky the Wonderdog. Corky teaches her family lessons about life, trust, and believing in the impossible. This is a story for all ages, of a Labrador Retriever whose adventures led her to teach her life purposes. Her owner, after carrying the story in her heart for over 20 years, finished the book next to the healing waters of Lake Superior in 2020. Corky’s message of HOPE was meant to be published during these times.\nLinda Lundquist was a special education teacher for 33 years. One of her favorite parts of each day was reading aloud to her students. As she did, she thought and thought about the books that she herself must write and publish someday. And she wondered: Which should be first?Beginning in 2018, she received three unmistakable clues. That summer along the shore of Lake Superior in Duluth, Minnesota, she dashed back to her car when a blinding rainstorm fell. Oddly, though no one was visible anywhere on the beach, in front of her car there now sat a red truck. Its license plate read “Corky.” The next summer, she pulled into the same parking lot at the same beach, and there, in the same space, sat another red truck. She started to work on her story about Corky and she moved to Duluth in the fall of 2019. Finally, in May of 2020 having moved back to Minneapolis, she parked her car one day. Across the street she spotted a red truck with “Corky’s” painted on its door. She knew editing and publishing the book was an absolute priority now.It felt exactly right to Linda to be writing her beloved Corky’s story, a story of hope, during the difficult year that 2020 was for us all. Having also been a massage therapist working with many modalities for 25 years, she knew how important it is to have hope everyday of our lives. Having carried it her heart for 20 years, she finished writing it in 2020, along the shore of Lake Superior.Do you carry your own story of hope? Does Corky’s story give you hope? Linda would love to hear from you. HopeLessons25@gmail.com

Farce and moral ambiguity in a pre-digital 1994 French diplomatic outpost in Balkan War-buffeted Eastern Europe. *** Young Michel-Ange never had to worry about much. Now the dignity of the French Republic is at stake in the ex-communist Balkan backwater of Gryaznia, where Paris suddenly expects him to hold the fort. Does the insouciant diplomatic dilettante have what it takes to stave off an international fiasco and personal humiliation? Merde, alors... *** "Now you listen to me, petit, and listen well, so that we have no misunderstanding: I am a Sergent-Chef of the Légion Etrangère, verstehen? And when not sleeping, drinking, fucking or shitting, I kill people. That is my boulot, that is what I do. "You, on the other hand, are sensé to be a diplomat, however half-arsed, and as such, and to the extent that you have any purpose in this life at all, it is to make precisely the kind of call I am hereby ordering you to make, right now. Compris?Have I made myself clear?" Michel-Ange's face was blank - whether from paralyzed shock or mere bemusement was unknowable and, in any case, moot. "Bon. Execution. Et qu'ça saute. Hop it, my lad." (p. 193) *** "Few connoisseurs of failed diplomacy can hold a candle to P.N. Gwynne, whose latest hero, Michel-Ange de la Fassederad finds himself unworthily promoted to Chargé d'Affaires at the French Embassy in Gryaznia, which sounds like an over-the-counter remedy but is actually a disremembered capital somewhere in the Balkans. Almost immediately, Michel is fighting for self and country in a bureaucratic riot that unfolds in three languages. This is where Gwynne sprinkles his original English/French/Russian mix through the narrative as few writers can, a welcome and truly shameless salute to international affairs." -- A.J. PANOS, Chargé d'Affaires, U.S. Embassy, Bangui, Central African Republic *** "Gwynne is satiric and deliriously funny. He has a fine feeling for the absurdity of things. His sensibility, however disturbing, is always expressed with wit. Mr. Gwynne can write."-- THE NEW YORK TIMES *** "P.N. Gwynne has a sharp ear for accents and a quick eye for the ridiculous." -- THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE *** "Gwynne packs his novels with a very funny assortment of types who speak in accurate, ingeniously spelled dialogue." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *** The pseudonymous P.N. GWYNNE is a much-traveled American businessman who's lived and worked throughout sub-Saharan Africa, where he also served for several years as Honorary U.K. Consul. Earlier, as a U.S. Army 1LT he was awarded the Bronze Star in Vietnam, after which he became a CIA Clandestine Service officer, with a paramilitary tour in northern Laos. He currently divides his time between Europe and his native New York. His previous novels are Firmly By The Tail, Pushkin Shove, The Bronx Bombing, and "Imperialist Warmonger Pig" or An Occurrence At Landing Site-Echo. PERSONA NON GRATA P.N. GWYNNE A NOVEL BY AMAZON

Biographies & Memoirs

Everyday is a Monday (Misadventures of a very average commercial diver)  Would be the most accurate description  of the first 18 months, as I began a new career in commercial diving. It informs, as well as gives an idea of what air diving in the oilfields, and the offshore life is like. The humour, the fuck ups, the ‘near-death’ experiences underwater, all happened to teach, as well as keep my life interesting and make me grey prematurely.  When divers are allowed back on dry land, invariably, the chaos continues, unabated. As a result, some names have been changed to protect the guilty! :)  Ha! Ha! Bearing in mind, not everyone misbehaves far away from home and in a foreign country…   Nonetheless, I have endevoured to stick to the facts as I saw them, and have used sources, that were in fact, there at the time. As a result, only the really insane and impossible that I witnessed, is in fact true! That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
