Maynard and Zeke

Book excerpt: Maynard and Zeke: A Liar's Playground is a twisted tale involving an intervening narrator who manipulates his imaginary twin brother, Maynard, and his foul-mouthed pet zebra, Zeke, through a host of strange adventures. The narrator and his protagonist-twin rarely see eye-to-eye. This unusual tale is chock full of bizarre characters. It features pterodactyls dropping time windows over the story whenever the narrator doesn't like the direction the book is heading. There is also a microdot that could forever damage U.S.-Russian ties. Highly entertaining, Maynard and Zeke is an improbable, yet unforgettable satirical romp through a fantasy world.
