Nom De Plums

Author Please!

Here's a treat (?) for all avid readers. The following books may not make the New York Times' Best Seller List, but they are guaranteed to bring either a smile to your face or a groan in your throat.

It was a rather childish and thoroughly enjoyable form of punning. They don't rank up there with such classics as "Under the Bleachers" by Seymour Butts or "Yellow River" by I.P. Freely, but I tried.

You may have to read some of the authors' names aloud to get them. You might consider letting the first and last names "run-in" to each other. Also, a little phonetic liberty has been taken on several of them. (If you are stumped on any of the titles and authors, list them in the comments section and I'll "translate" them for you. I hope!)

Skunk,

Ah - you remember this post from Verbicidal Tendencies!

Yep, it was classic that I "borrowed" to post here.

Sandee,

Twisted is right. It's like the rubber band on a toy plane, It has to be twisted tight for it to work!
