Bert Paul

A couple of odd organizations involving the elderly residents of High Towers in T-Ville are plotting to hoard…something, and store it…somewhere. They think their activities in this regard may be illegal, but necessary. Someone falls down an elevator shaft at the towers and dies. Accidentally? Or on purpose? The Bright Lights and Cataract Club and the Presbyopians of America are not necessarily all they seem to be. (And they can't necessarily see all they mean to be.) To get the other residents of T-Ville out of town and out of the way the day the "product" is delivered, word goes out about the 75th Annual Flounder Flats Festival being held that day. Most residents attend, even though they've never heard of this festival before. Most are unaware of severe weather headed their way, or that the festival is in a swamp. Swamps are bad places for festivals and parking lots. Things tend to sink. For no good reason, everyone starts to worry about being gobbled up by a ravenous space creature. Uncle Bert insists repeatedly that there is NO space creature in the story, but as often happens, the characters in the story may know more than the narrator. Breaking the fourth wall once again, it's a Strange Uncle Bert story that will be sure to keep you laughing!

Everyone’s favorite Thanksgiving-themed mystery anthology is back for a sixth outing, celebrating not just the best in murder-most-fowl short stories (not a turkey among them) but also ten years of Untreed Reads Publishing! In addition to enjoying the holiday magic that is bumping off family members we don’t like, this year’s Killer also honors the dedication to the writing world by the late TKWC contributor Earl Staggs. Serving up a sixth season of stories are the following dinner guests: Bobbi A. Chukran, Bert Paul, C.C. Guthrie, Catina Williams, Herschel Cozine, J.B. Toner, Joseph S. Walker, Kari Wainwright, Lesley A. Diehl, Steve Liskow, Steve Shrott, and Trey Dowell. Lisa Wagner returns with all-new recipes, helping you to fill your stomach and tickle your funny bone at the same time. So have a seat, grab a plate of food (we wouldn’t try the stuffing if we were you) and get ready to laugh until you’re cranberry in the face!

The Killer Wore Cranberry: A Sixth Scandalous Serving

All over the world, 8-foot-by-2-foot sections of brick wall appear out of nowhere and zoom along, striking things in their paths. Cars are wrecked, property is damaged, and many people are killed. What is causing this strange phenomenon? Who is behind it? Can the madman be stopped? Maybe Uncle Bert's Preposterous Number Theory can explain some things. If that isn't enough, some people have to contend with mysterious trails of blood, or something that looks like blood, that lead down into their basements. What is at the end of these trails? Should they even look? People try to remember what their mothers said about following mysterious trails of blood into the dark. What did your mother say? And no matter what, no one should answer calls from the Death Number on the T-Ville telephone exchange. Another hilarious Uncle Bert Story from the author of Out of Order Murder Mystery and The Plaid Memorandum.
