Our Books
Tipple & Ginger: Adventures in Oor - K. Kain
"Who are these goofs?"
...you might be asking, after reading title of this very book.
"Tipple? Ginger? Never heard of 'em!"
To which I, the back of this book, proudly reply:
"Why, Tipple is only the very greatest bard in all of Oor! A wandering weaver of wonder and whimsy as the world has never witnessed! Teller of the Tallest Tales in Town! Singer of songs! Tamer of dragons! Co-inventor of stand-up comedy! And also, Ginger is his friend!"
Or at least, that's what Tipple would say.

And They Put Him in the Basement, Part 1 - Shannon Reeves
Somewhere, somewhen, there’s a place where all those who are stuck in life go to… just sort of hang out, really.
Jeremy used to be going places! Moving and shaking! Changing the world! Until one day, he fell through an inter-dimensional portal into Mr. Jiggles' basement. Now he can't bring himself to do much of anything. At least he's making new friends: a lovable (and anxious) bunny named Bess, an anime-heroine / cat / horse / chimera, and a... podcast? Now if only they'd all stop disappearing.
What mysteries could this bizarre new rental opportunity hold in store?
