Oodles of Rubles!
The Russian Oligarch's (Confidential) Guide to
Martha's Vineyard Real Estate
Ivan Cox spins a tale of high drama and hilarity, as he leads the reader through the various towns and traditions of the famous resort Island of Martha's Vineyard. Along the way, Ivan peppers his monologue with spicy anecdotes from his curious marriage, flashbacks to various critical moments of his personal life, and preposterous theories on natural phenomena and human behavior. Jump on board Ivan Cox's tour bus and get ready to laugh, and while you're at it, feast on the whacky illustrations by New Yorker cartoonist Mick Stevens. As one reader said, Oodles! is a "terrifying and delightful tour" of one of America's most fascinating resort Islands.​​

Blood Pudding
Blood Pudding renders vividly, at times violently, the raw struggles of the colorful Malinowski family, immigrants from Poland. Gritty, patient, always loving, their son Tad runs a gauntlet of painful and humiliating boyhood cruelties. Above Tad's clear voice, we hear the cold constant heartbeat of a growing industrial city, whose restless yet noble soul surely resides in the lives of these very immigrants.
