Welcome to the Thresher Pub |
|
There’s adventure aplenty when an Anglican priest, Maynard Hyghcock, is forced to become a whiskey smuggler to support his church in 1680’s colonial Delaware. Pirates and smugglers, Indians and African slaves, a beautiful young widow who runs the local tavern, and a British Naval officer determined to capture and hang our good priest as a pirate make for an exciting cast of characters. Authors E. Michael Fisher and James C. Bird’s Delmarva region of the 1680’s is vibrant and alive, and THE HYGHCOCK CHRONICLES is a thrilling adventure you'll long remember! |

“Set in the 1680’s, The Hyghcock Chronicles by E. Michael Fisher and James C. Bird is a rollicking story of illicit trade and tax evasion in the newly formed colonies of New York. …Birds, boats, Swedes, Dutch, Finns, English, Native Indians, and the African, Kwami, a hurricane, all deliver an enthralling story of adventure… The characters of this story are strong and individual and the authors E. Michael Fisher and James C. Bird deliver a sense of reality from early settlement days. The Hyghcock Chronicles - Published by Whiskey Creek Press - is well worth the read!”

“This is weird.... I liked the Hyghcock Chronicles. My husband liked the Hyghcock Chronicles. My 17 year old son liked the Hyghcock Chronicles. So thank you thank you - I don't believe that's ever happened in my house before!”

Treat yourself to our duet of short stories! In Oedipus Tex: Beyond the Pale, the porn-star protagonist passes through the veil between this world and the next—the result of an accident while filming a scene on the back of a mechanical bull. While in transition, Tex is forced to compete on the metaphysical game show, Bowling for Karma, to determine his fate in the afterlife. When the Anabaptist farmer Mose Hooley falls through the floor of an abandoned barn, he finds himself face to face with Nebuchadnezzar II in the short story, The Amish Time Traveler. The Babylonians are dazzled by the advanced technology possessed by Mose, whom they come to worship as a God of Science, while the Amish-man searches for a way back home. |
