The pun.No word in the history of human language has more power to simultaneously cause so much misery yet so much joy. When executed effectively, the pun has the ability to bring nations together and make enemies friends. When it fails, it can tear families apart. Only the bold dare to engage in this delicate art form, and very few ever triumph over the inevitability of social awkwardness to become a true pun master.Enter Ryan and Adam. These seemingly harmless friends are on a crusade to make the world groan, one bad pun at a time. Their adventure begins with a simple text message, an invitation to write a book on puns, and becomes an epic journey into the very soul of word play. What started as a simple idea would become "The Longest Pun War" - a book which will serve to redefine the most creative, and often misunderstood, type of humor on the planet.Throughout this important piece of pun literature, Ryan and Adam navigate the perils and joys of writing a book, which will test their resolve and have readers on the edge of their seats. Will they ever find a PR firm to handle their marketing? That certainly ads its own challenges. Will they agree on a price? This is one of money obstacles they will have to overcome.The Longest Pun War holds a number of totally fake records that Ryan and Adam completely fabricated, including. -The longest continuous string of puns in the history of literature (take that, Shakespeare ).-The first book drafted entirely from a text message exchange (because obviously books written in a text message format will "cell" well).-Simultaneously the most useful and useless book of all time. Ryan and Adam's pun-based journey over text message will warm your heart, make you laugh, make you groan, feel a little uncomfortable, maybe even a little tired if that's what reading does to you. One thing is for certain, The Longest Pun War will be forever known as the most important piece of literature on puns in human history (we think).

Nashville, Tennessee in the 70's was a sleepy southern town. Life Insurance and banking kept the city afloat. But it was also home to the Country Music industry, bolstered by the television show Nashville Nuggets and radio show The Tennessee Broadcast. The city fostered a strange sort of celebrity-one that was of the people, for the people. The big stars were just like you. But the blurred line between the wealthy stars and the common man came into sharp focus as violence struck right before Thanksgiving in 1972. Hedonistic hillbilly's high on the late sixties cocktail of mayhem and drugs break into a peaceful country cabin and leave two dead. This upends notions of safety and trust and leaves a small town locking their doors at nightCountry Star Clyde Jones never cared about being rich and famous. He was happy living in his small cabin out in the country. If you met him by chance on the streets of Nashville, you'd never know he was a bona-fide country music star, made famous by his flailing fingers on the banjo. But, sure as spring follows winter, every Saturday night Clyde stepped out on stage to play live for fans in Nashville and more listening on the radio. Thousands knew who he was and when he was performing. Two knew where he lived. Detective Harvey Clinton never much cared about country music, but when Clyde and Emmy Jones are found murdered in their cabin, he is pulled into lives of Nashville's country music stars, their fans and the killers who call his city home. They made their names with heartfelt lyrics and an approachable, just like you kind of celebrity but their money made them targets in a world of crumbling security. Solving the murder that rocked Music City would take Harvey closer to the gritty heart of his city than he had ever been before.
