When a Wal-Mart the size of Texas rolls into a sleepy Appalachian town, Coop Elmore loses everything-his job, his land, and even his wife (who runs off with the regional manager).
Stranded in the store's endless parking lot, Coop teeters between despair and delirium until inspiration strikes: if Wal-Mart is the heart of modern America, then he's going to be its cardiac arrest.
Taking a job inside the fluorescent belly of the beast, Coop plots to bring the Big W down from within. Coop soon finds that taking on Wal-Mart might be the funniest, strangest, and most hopeless war ever fought.
A biting satire of consumer culture, small-town survival, and the absurdity of the American dream, The Big W is a comic masterpiece for anyone who has ever been lost in the aisles.

Wolf Chase | ✔️
"Cease your mindless touching, woman." Sebastian glared down at her, a warning edged with steel, but she merely giggled. He looked so adorable when he was angry. "I don't think I want to..." Her fingers rose to his cheeks, tracing the shadow of stubble. She wondered what he would look like with a full-grown beard. Fed up with her wandering, Sebastian bit her index finger. Massie yelped and brought the injured digit to her chest, he didn't bite it hard enough to bleed, but it hurt her momentarily nonetheless. "What was that for!" "I have low tolerance for disobedience," he said darkly. Summary: In a town known as Dark Falls, Massie is a new girl excited to start anew. What she didn't expect is to be irrevocably drawn to an enigmatic group of handsome strangers--more specifically their silent leader, Sebastian Pierce, who seems bent on avoiding her at all costs. Massie always loved a good challenge, she just didn't know it'd end up being a wolf chase. ***WARNING: I WROTE THIS BARELY OUT OF MIDDLE SCHOOL.

Falling for the Last Person I'd Ever Love... And Yet
What if a cat and a dog tolerate each other? Not in peace--obviously--but in wildly dysfunctional harmony. That's Seraphina and Kai-she strikes first with chaos and claws, he retaliates with passive-aggressive sarcasm and emotional warfare. It's not a romance. It's a tactical battlefield with feelings. For as long as they can remember, Seraphina Voss and Kai Sterling have been locked in elite-level rivalry. Not the flirty kind. No---this is cold-war chaos between two rich kids raised like family (ew), trapped in the same social circles (double ew), and trained in the fine art of mutual sabotage. But when one dramatic arrest pushes their families over the edge, they're given the worst punishment imaginable: working together. In the same office. With real jobs. Corporate hell---but make it personal. To make matters worse, they've both caught feelings for other people. Desperate to escape each other and this soul-sucking job, they strike a deal: Seraphina helps Kai win his "perfect" girl. Kai plays wingman for Seraphina's dream guy. Clean. Simple. Foolproof. Until it all starts falling apart, thanks to office warfare, many "accidental" double dates, and emotionally violent wars in silence. Because somewhere between strategic humiliation and whatever emotionally compromising event just went down, they might be falling for the one person they hate the most. And it's not about who falls first. It's how they fall. ⚠️ Contains verbal combat, morally questionable pranks, dangerously slow-burning tension, and at least one chair thrown in the name of love. © Hazel Brown. All rights reserved.

Death Bound: Life Support Edition
Life is full of ups and downs, there's no question about it. We're tossed through the ringer daily, constantly faced with challenges and left wondering how we'll deal with them. Will we give up, or will we try? Will we cave, or will we push through until we succeed? Will we whine and moan about our misfortunes as we dwell on them for years, or will we learn from them, shrug them off, and heal ourselves with laughter? I choose the latter, which is why I've collected these darkly, comedic short stories into this collection for your amusement. The world's a bit tense, so unwind and relax. I'll take it from here. NOTE: Death Bound: Life Support Edition can be purchased on Amazon or my website - ARCurry.comConcluída
Tempest in the West Wing
A collection of brief, sarcastic dispatches from the front lines of modern absurdity. They began as tales of small, ridiculous wars fought with grim determination. Over time, the battles changed shape. The uniforms turned into business suits and ball gowns, the enemies became bureaucrats and egos, and the victories increasingly hollow. From Tempest in the West Wing to Spam Warfare, each report captures a skirmish in humanity's ongoing campaign against reality itself-short, darkly funny, and disturbingly plausible. Read them one at a time. Laugh if you can. Then check your perimeter.

Bound To You
Mushrooms: They're soft, silky, white and super evil. Walmart: It's a place you go grocery shopping. You don't necessarily like it, but it gets the job done.
