Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Reading this book comes with a warning. Fits of laughter and somber moments of shaking your head are sure to occur, as the book is chock-full of characters and situations to keep the most discriminating reader amused. Imagine if you will: an immature, wealthy male chauvinist weasel; a paranoid schizophrenic who functions well when he's on his medication but not when he's not; an overweight fixer-upper whom clients rave about; a sleight-of-hand mortgage broker; a wealthy do-gooder who gets his pockets picked; a devious guy with a pet macaw named Peety; a multi-tattooed hard-ass; a naïve young agent just off the farm; a Southern belle; and a character named The Critter--all packed into one book. A more colorful group of real estate practitioners you won't find, though unfortunately, their quest for wealth is often waylaid by their idiosyncrasies, which add notably to the humor and drama. Enjoy. I enjoyed writing it. Jim Dreis. Casey, Donna (ilustrador).…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Constitutional Ban on DivorceAn Adult Fairy TaleOnce Upon a Time: The conservative, religious right view the Constitutional Ban on Divorce as a liberal plot to undermine the institution of marriage, an institution they consider the cornerstone of their philosophy. Threatened by this, they call on conservative talk-show hosts, members of Congress, and even the U. S. President to rally against the idea.Posh - a popular, conservative talk show host - wastes no time identifying the 'enemy' and their motive.Winnie and Hennie Hanaford, blind sided by the Constitutional Ban on Divorce, spear-head the conservative drive to ban same-sex marriaiges only to have Winnie drop out after 'unexpected' difficulties.Meanwhile, Hilda "Boom Boom" Broom Becker, a take charge gal, becomes the President's personal assistant. She secretly fears a ban on divorce could harm her chances to land a husband.And the President, aligned with the conservative right, views the bans on same-sex marriage and divorce as necessary evils. But his goal is to go down in history as the "War President." Unfortunately, his plans go awry when the Secretary of Treasury plots to outsource government jobs.Finally, spearheading the Constitutional Ban on Divoce is a shadowy cabal of four, known as the "Little Rascals." Relatives of the author of the Ban (and the author of other ideas, some of them quite controversial), they take the initiative to make the Ban happen.Raucous, hilarious, mind - numbing. the story ends as most fairy tales do: And everyone lived happily ever after.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Trader Among the FlockReleased of all charges Ivan returns to the traders club which doesn't sit well with members though none are about to call for his ouster. Most thought he was headed to prison and they'd be rid of him. Rumor had it his defense attorney threatened to put Peety (his Macaw) on the stand until the feds, realizing they'd look ridiculous if they did, decided to drop all charges against him and his two cohorts, Elmira and Tina.Ivan sensed the uneasiness when he walked through the door but sloughed it off as their problem, he was back to put his money to work and what better place than the traders club. Opportunity soon falls in his lap. He's offered the chance to lend money to a church. Soon he takes over the books. Only a naive minister would allow such a thing and that described Helmut Bernard. Overwhelmed by duties he welcomed help of any kind. The fact that Ivan would be making payments to himself meant nothing as he didn't know a thing about money, for that matter he never had a checking account. In short order Ivan not only handles the books but advises on ministerial matters which is a sure recipe for disaster.Helmut grows as minister. Abandoned as a child he struggles through life but finds relief in the Lord. Aided by a couple who take him under their wing you can't help but like him, feel sorry for him too as some of his parishioners are real characters. You'll be amused watching him handle their needs. When the dust settles you'll feel convinced he made the right choice going into the ministry, a belief shared by those under his care. Many of the traders believe their group is the last bastion of the free enterprise system so they religiously guard against change. Ethical standards, though a nice concept for the residential crowd, are eschewed by some in favor of profits.Peety once again plays a role in Ivan's life as do Tina and Elmira, two participants in the drug scheme he once headed. They find religion in their own right and come back to teach Ivan the power of the populace.You'll laugh, shake your head, and wonder - could something like this happen?Enjoy it.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Real Estate Exchangers, outlaws in the real estate community, live up to their reputation in Jim Dreis's provocative book -"The Traders"Ivan Schmidt, a disbarred attorney, has his real estate license revoked - still, he convinces a group of fellow real estate exchangers to open their meetings to non-licensed owners. Each member of the group has his own agenda for agreeing with Ivan, though some are motivated by a fear of what Ivan might do if they don't go along.Soon, Ivan convinces a drug lord that he can solve his problems of getting drugs across the border while getting cash out of the country. Ivan points out the process requires two steps - first, buying out-of-state real estate owned by senior citizens, newly settled in the Southwest; second, trading that real estate for property out of the country.To help with his scheme, Ivan hires Elmira Dunbar to set up and run the real estate marketing sessions that will attract senior citizens, along with regular real estate exchangers. The latter being a rogue's gallery of "characters," with ethical standards ranging from noble to none - many of whom have a unique way of operating.Sprinkled throughout the story is a realistic portrayal of the way people think and operate the way they do. Occasionally, a bit of humor falls in place; but in the end it's the reality that each person is responsible for deeds he has done, either vindicating or condemning himself. Also addressed are the United States' policies toward drugs, medical care and the plight of illegal migrants. Overall, the purpose of the book is to entertain, while at the same time provoke readers to think about what might happen if we allow greed to grow and fester unfettered."The Traders" - will touch your funny bone, tug at your heart and make you vow you'll teach your kids and grandkids right from wrong.
