100 Words That Should be in the Dictionary: Lingomania’s Best New Words : Ignatius Shoestring
Lingomania’s team of geniuses have scoured hundreds of new words in the Linogmania Dictionary for the BEST OF THE BEST! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to dig in and decide which words most deserve to be added to your vocabulary.
Join us on a journey to enjoy words that describe: The love of having a finger up your nose (especially in dry climates), The process of making up facts (important if you have a job in the government), A clever name for Russian hackers (try to decode this one, hackers!), talking in Star Wars quotes (remember, “Fear is the path to the dark side.”) and, singing in the shower (no judgement here).
Along the way, you’ll find out what a “Kimmick” is, why it’s dangerous to “perirhinate”, why you should avoid “tauroscat”, and whether it’s a “canophagocanic” world. Order this book now, and Ignatius Shoestring absolutely guarantees that you either will or will not:
Impress your boss,
Entertain your friends,
Slay your enemies,
Annoy your coworkers,
Out-nerd innocent bystanders.
However you wield this new weapon of words, owning this book will not be “prodigichronic” (a waste of time).
Review from Readers’ Favorite: “The first inaugural book of its type, 100 Words That Should Be In The Dictionary: Lingomania’s Best New Words is a collection of humorous pieces of wordy information written by author Ignatius Spud Shoestring. This is a dictionary-style record of the work of the Lingomania website, which is dedicated to the love of words and the emergence of new and amusing words which rate at PG or lower, and can therefore be used and enjoyed by all. In keeping with the website, the words have been invented as derivatives of previous words, and given dual or modified meanings to elevate them to the standard of Top 100 for this book. I found this to be a very entertaining read and I’m certain it would suit the coffee tables of writers, English teachers and word lovers everywhere. The term ‘lingomaniac’ itself suits the overall ethos of the tome, and its author, Ignatius Spud Shoestring, celebrates that badge with pride as each of the top one hundred words is treated to its own amusing definition and consideration. The book’s interior is engaging and eye catching to look at, making it an easy pick-me-up for anyone seeking a little laugh. I also think it achieves the purpose of directing people to its website very well to discover more of these hilarious words and get involved in the submission and invention process. Overall, 100 Words That Should Be In The Dictionary is a humorous and well-arranged work for word lovers the world over.”

Architect of Death at Auschwitz : John W Primomo
Rudolf Höss has been called the greatest mass murderer in history. As the creator and commandant of Auschwitz, the most notorious Nazi concentration camp, he supervised the killing of more than 1.1 million people.
Unlike many of his Nazi colleagues who denied either knowing about or participating in the Holocaust, Höss frankly admitted, both at the Nuremberg war crimes’ trial and in his memoirs, that he sent hundreds of thousands of Jews to their deaths in the gas chambers.
Although forthcoming about the horrors of Auschwitz, Höss denied personal responsibility, insisting that disobedient subordinates imposed cruelty on Auschwitz inmates. He also blamed Hitler and Himmler for the Final Solution and claimed to be only an unknowing “cog in the wheel of the great extermination machine.”
In truth, Höss utilized his own ingenuity in systematically and efficiently executing Hitler’s order to exterminate European Jews. Contrary to his claim that he was never cruel or mistreated any prisoners, Höss acted with ruthless brutality, wielding his power over life and death mercilessly and without emotion.

Inhabit the Night – A Novel of Human Resiliency : Kenneth Konecnik
“Don’t be judged by who you appear to be; be judged for who you are.”
In the four-part story of Inhabit the Night, an empathetic young teacher, Joanne Walters, is emotionally involved with a singular soul who suddenly finds himself walking in a less fortunate man’s shoes.
Jeremy, a young, musically inclined ad man was well on his way to living the American Dream when he was eerily confronted by another incarnation of himself trying to eke out a living on the streets of New York. Even though this downtrodden stranger, Carlos, had the very same conscious mind, talents and birthmark as Jeremy, the circumstances of his birth were more daunting, and the perception of his hapless appearance had become reality.
Outwardly, Carlos was struggling to find employment and judged to possibly not be in the country legally. Inwardly, he was everything Jeremy was. His impediments to success were many. But his inner strength and caring personality were apparent…especially to his sisters’ teacher, Joanne Walters.
In this life, Joanne was as emotionally supportive of Carlos as if he was in Jeremy’s shoes. Together, they overcome discrimination and prejudice and begin to carve out a road to success, only to be confronted by a homeless man, Howard, who eerily sees himself in Carlos.
The story segues into Howard trying to extricate himself from the sorrowful appearance he projects, through no fault of his own. Howard’s true self resonates with a young teacher from the neighborhood who passes by and feels compelled to help. The connection between Joanne and this version of the same talented, benevolent soul forms instantaneously, and the predestined mutual support follows, until an embodiment of identical talents, abilities and charisma arbitrarily presents itself in the skin of a blind, black man from the inner city.
And Joanne Walters is drawn to the incredibly difficult story and life of Billy Templeton. And the fate that awaits them all.
The Cause of Darkness: A Story of the Civil War : John W. Bebout
The Cause of Darkness blends history with fiction and encompasses a tragic time during the Civil War that residents of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia still call to this day ‘the burning.’
It tells the story of a 16-year-old boy named Teddy Miller who comes of age during this brutal time.
Teddy’s single-minded quest to save his father from execution as a spy reads like a grand adventure, full of gunfights, horse chases and 19th-century justice.
There is even a beautiful Pinkerton detective who plays a major role in Teddy’s exploits. But nearly all the adult characters act solely in their own self-interest and few have Teddy’s welfare at heart.
Teddy takes actions to save his father which have consequences that he cannot fully comprehend; and it is the consequences of these actions that drive the novel to its conclusion.
