Have you ever watched a poorly-executed football game or some other exhibition of masculine strength and skill gone awry and thought to yourself— "A bunch of little old ladies could have done a better job!"? 
Clarence Wall has the kind of wayward mind that can pick up that fumbled thought and run it down the field into a whole gameful of entertaining events. 
Thus was born MamaSquad! 
Did you ever wonder what might happen if a group of cantankerous old ladies got tangled up in a special forces mission? Read this hilarious novel to find out. 
Clarence Wall drew on his eclectic background for feasible twists. He is the right person to have written this adventure. After years of practical enlightenment in the military, mostly in Army Intelligence and as a technical writer, he further tuned his understanding through activities as a stand-up comedian and church choir member (usually not at the same time). Clarence married wife Virginia (Ginny) in 1980, and enjoys life in Escondido, California with daughter Miranda (Mandy), 16, son Jason, 13, two dogs, Samson & Maximillian (Max), two Cats, Miss Tabby & Angel Pus.

Growing up on Route 66ISBN: 1-888725-31-1    Growing Up on Route 66--a novel by Michael Lund (BeachHouse Books-2000)  $14.95 Growing Up On Route 66, a novel, is set in a Missouri small town along  “America’s Main Street.”   Most of the action takes place in a neighborhood known to the children growing up there as the "Circle.”  That time and place are remembered by the novel’s narrator as ideal, but closer scrutiny repeatedly--and often humorously--complicates this innocent picture. 
  In growing up we continually confront things that do not make sense.  Then, in sudden moments of inspiration the pieces come together.  For those growing up in the 1950s, the biggest mystery of childhood was sex.  And central characters in this story, Mark Landon and Marcia Terrell, are repeatedly surprised as parts of this great puzzle take shape in and around them. 
  We are determined to a large degree by the material world in which we live, our own bodies and the world around us.  The landscape Mark Landon comes to appreciate contains the great promise this nation enjoyed after World War II.  For those living west of the Mississippi especially, this prospect was symbolized by The Mother Road, Route 66.

Stress MythISBN: 1-888725-36-2   The Stress Myth  $24.95 This book is unique because, unlike most books on stress, it challenges the usefulness and validity of the concept of stress. The author has systematically investigated most of the claims that have been made about stress and has carefully argued and demonstrated that they cannot be substantiated. In addition, he offers a simpler and more adequate explanation of what takes place when people feel they are "stressed."  Such an approach makes it possible to address the problem rather than the symptoms. -You Don't Have to be a Victim.

The eBook Bargain List websitewas established to call attention to recent eBooks from Science & Humanities Press. We are in process of converting over 150 of our original titles to popular eBook formats including Kindle (through amazon), ePub, and pdf. Books will continue to be available as the original paperbacks as well. Lower production and  shipping costs on eBooks may serve as a convenient low-risk opportunity to sample books to make acquisition decisions. Amazon Kindle, for example allows the customer to download a sample of the book for free, and you can enjoy this opportunity without even buying a Kindle, by viewing the book sample on your PC with free Kindle-reader software.

Temporary Price Reductionsare offered while we are in process of final editing on the eBook editions --usually fixing small typographical errors.  After this process is done, we expect to sell these full-length eBooks for around $9.95. This is a chance to let readers try the books with little risk if they can live with a few typo's.  Amazon should make it possible to refresh your file to later revised versions for free, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

In the table, we are listing recent offerings from many publishers that will sell at stable prices of $0.99 to $2.99, along with   information links to see more details or buy the books at amazon or other vendors.
This website will be advertised using resources like google adwords and the sales through this site will get small commissions from amazon to hopefully cover some of the advertising and maintenance costs.

I'minviting other publishers to submit candidates for this list. 
Books may have low prices to introduce new authors, because the books are short, or other reasons to help promote them.
sometimes self-publishers start out without the overhead of a print operation and offer "bargain books" just to get feedback from the market and get a start. Even though you can find such bargains directly at amazon, a listing here will benefit the publisher/author by offering a separately promoted marketplace.  To set some standards of quality, books should be fairly recent (e.g. less than 15 years old) not be trivial in content ( say, the book should be more than about 60 pp. as a print edition). Prices should be in the bargain-book price range of $0.99-2.99.
Humor is welcomed,  but I obviously reserve the right to reject listing a book for any reason, completely at my disgression, such as  blatant pornography "with no redeeming social value" (my standards) or material that is illegal or defamatory.
This listing won't cost you anything, but offers an opportunity that I might choose to discontinue at any time without notice (it's an "experiment"--I have no idea how this is going to work out).
Submit listings in an email, with fields separated by commas:
Title, Author, amazon ASIN #, year published, Genre/type (e.g.fiction, how to, travel, etc.),  BRIEF description (a sentence or two), #pp if it were printed, Price, other website reference if you have one- in the format "http://mywebsite.com" 
Send the email to me banis @ sciencehumanitiespress .com with the phrase "eBook Bargain List"  in the title of the email. 
You don't have anything at risk for doing this, and if it all works out to mutual advantage, I'll keep on doing it.
