For the most part friendship isn't based on rules. However, it's a sticky word for those who don't know what it really means.

Are they a person of morales and values? Do they have goals and dreams? How well do you know them? Are they a follower or a leader? Do they drink, smoke, or do drugs? It's very important for you to get to know your acquaintances before you actually call them your friends. If you find yourself stuck and wondering if the person is true, and whether he or she can be trusted only then you lay down your own friendship rules. If you don't know, you better ask somebody!

This is a story based on the life of Doris Dixon who had a burning ambition to become a professional jazz singer during the 1930s. Doris came from a privileged English background and was highly educated with her parents expectations of her going into the professions. By luck, at a students reunion in a London nightclub, Doris created her chance to sing with a visiting American Jazz Band and was engaged by them on the spot as Dixie Dixon, their singer; subsequently treading the boards in America was no easy task. But Dixie met and sang with the greatest jazz /swing bands of of her time. Because of her early demise, little is known about Dixie Dixon, so this book puts her right back there in the jazz spotlight where she fought so hard to be.

poetry that fails to cock a snook at human folly and is insufficiently outraged with the stupidly cruel and the corrupt is far too soft and best left unwritten and poetry marinated only in vinegar with neither levity nor sweetness is much too hard and can neither inform nor inspire after much consideration therefore i have made it my mission to become the Goldilocks of the form Neither too sweet nor too sour, Minor Gods and Major Scoundrels lays bare life and politics in the 21st century. Poems and song lyrics are at turns reverent and irreverent, satirical and tender. An imagined dialogue between Trump and Leonard Cohen, encounters with God(s), golf, love, mortality—these and a vast array of other topics are subject to Kleinplatz’s unflinching gaze. Minor Gods and Major Scoundrels will appeal to an adult audience that likes to be provoked both to thought and laughter.
