We have all either read or heard about some faraway fantasy land where there are dragons, Elves, and dwarves. But they are just stories, right? But what if they werent? The Deeks family, just like you or I or anyone else for that matter, also thought that those stories were just that: stories. That is until one night, while on a family holiday in England, they get lost in the worst fog they have ever seen. And, when they finally get through the fog, they find that they have somehow passed through a portal into another world. The Deeks find themselves in the land of Angron and it is a land where Elves, dwarves, dragons and a whole lot more besides are very real. They also find themselves in a time when the whole of Angron is on the cusp of a war between good and evil and, if they only but knew it, their presence may well be the trigger that begins the bloody conflict. The only question is, do they try and get home before the dark forces of chaos engulf the whole of Angron or do they stay and face the storm?

After five years spent maneuvering for Mr. Right, beautiful, feisty Faye Parker has finally snared a sensitive cutie named Mark. So when he pops the question, Faye is fully prepared to step out of the dating rat-race, call the caterer, and don the veil. Just as soon as she has one last teensy-weensy little fling. Then comes the dicey issue of the guest list. First there’s Nat, Faye’s ex—a narcissistic fashion model hell-bent on flaunting his substantial charms in Faye’s face, his latest Playboy bunny in tow. Next there’s Kate, Mark’s ex—a woman so indignant she’s not the bride that she’s liable to slit Faye’s zipper. And, of course, there’s Adam, Faye’s flamboyant sidekick, milking the chaos for all it’s worth while shamelessly ogling Nat’s abs. As the rehearsal dinner lurches toward the brink of a spin-the-bottle-fueled imbroglio, Faye must face the fact that marriage means more than a flawlessly executed reception. She’s got a serious decision to make—about Mark, about love, and about her own deepest desires. Wickedly funny, The Ex Files is a sexy, sophisticated caper that offers a brazenly edgy take on the complexities of the modern bride.

Pages : 214
Book Description
This book contains such anecdotes as these: 1) In his Answer Man column, film critic Roger Ebert answered a question by Matt Sandler about who was the world's most beautiful woman by saying that she was Indian actress Aishwarya Rai. In a later Answer Man column, a reader stated that Mr. Ebert should have answered the question by saying, "My wife." However, Mr. Ebert had a good reason for not answering the question that way: "Matt Sandler asked about women, not goddesses." 2) To advertise its Razzles candy, Mars Candy decided to use a Cleveland, Ohio, show in which comedian Ron Sweed, aka The Ghoul, hosted several mostly bad horror movies. The Ghoul criticized the candy for weeks, and the more he criticized it, the more its sales went up. In gratitude, Mars Candy delivered a case of Razzles to The Ghoul. The case of candy remained on the set of The Ghoul's show for year--unopened.
