While Ukraine President was leading Ukrainians in resisting the Russian invasion and inflecting tremendous damage to the Russian war machines, killing tens of thousands of the Russian troops and generals, a plot was underway by the Russian intelligence service to prepare an operation with a code name Terermok, a famous Russian fairy tale, to infiltrate and unstable European societies, and military communities and facilities all over Europe as a way of retaliation and punishment for siding with and supporting Ukraine. That operation was discovered, by accident, by an American librarian and foiled before it even started by a counter operation with a code name Mitten, a Ukrainian fairy tale, led by the US and a collection of intelligent European agencies, with the assistance of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine. As a result of the continuous Russian losses and brave defense of the Ukrainians, led by an outstanding president, and the failed Terermok operation, the Russian President was ousted and handed to the International Criminal Court to stand trial.

Silver Medal Winner for Best Adult Fiction Anthology, 2021, Readers Favorite Book Awards Hollywood and Broadway are icons of the American Dream. But what happens to those who feed off that dream? Just as drug cartels have many underlings, who must get paid along the journey to the addicts, so do the characters who need to be nourished by the luminaries who make up this star-studded world above us. James Musgrave’s collection of eleven stories, in many ways, addresses the theme of “star power,” but in a way that satirizes the stereotypical “Hollywood endings” in very unique and literary ways. This collection has a remedy for the past year’s traumas caused by a worldwide pandemic.
"Entering the consciousness of a reader is the most sacred enterprise an author can have. These stories have been collected as my Zen reflection during the past year’s COVID-19 plague. This shamanistic mental state, which the Japanese term “Mushin,” or “no-mind” is close to the stream-of-consciousness technique that Henry James, Virginia Woolf, Jack Kerouac, James Joyce, and William Faulkner used to such success. However, it is also a form of channeling that defies definition. This is the mystical realm that creatives around the world know so well, and we worship at its altar every day we put fingers to keys or pen to paper. I want to thank readers who enjoy dark stories, as in this age of political correctness and what publishers often term “accessibility,” it is becoming more difficult for us authors, especially us authors who don’t make a lot of money from our work, to find an audience. I will go out on a limb and say that if the author does make a lot of money from a dark story, he/she will get marketing to back him/her up to ride the tide of money to the bank. If you ride this wave of Gustav and all the other characters in my collection, then thanks for that. It’s been a tough year for all of us. Bless you." --James Musgrave
"Superbly dark and un-put-down-able. This was a new type of work from the author, and I really felt drawn to his compilation of eleven dark stories. Each story is so engrossing, it brings you right in the middle of the story. This collection is more than just words on a page. It is a very well-written story, and I enjoyed it." Amazon.com "For a writer, getting inside the reader’s mind is the holy grail of the craft. In Valley of the Dogs, a collection of eleven dark short stories, author Jim Musgrave has invaded most of our minds and left an impression that will linger long after we close the book and stick it on our ‘to be read again someday’ shelf. If you’re looking for a good book to curl up with when the wind’s blowing outside and the sky is gunmetal gray and depressing, this is what I would prescribe." Amazon.com " Wow! Great stories, definitely dark, but also great! I enjoyed all of these stories, but some of them hit you hard, very hard. The writer is very skilled at his craft, and I can't wait to read more stories out of his wonderful imagination." Amazon.com

Humpty Dumpty was pushed... There are no accidents, and there’s a reason for everything that happens. In this novel, the unspoken truth is... It’s a dog-eat-dog world. The victim is a mesomorphic doorman. He lays stretched out on the parking lot pavement just a few yards from the nightclub where he worked. On the case is a brilliant and eccentric, media-darling-cop, Sal Messina. Sal’s investigation leads from the wealthy lairs of Manhattan to the manicured estates in the Hamptons to the PJs in Queens and places beyond. Like the immigrant communities of the Boogie Down Bronx inhabited by fierce survivors of ethnic wars. It’s a wild ride through a vast craven underbelly of society that takes its toll on both the detective’s personal and professional life. Before this case, the detective thought he had seen it all. But this time, what’s coming is way beyond the officer's range of vision. Customer reviews "A Killer Read (Literally!)

Think you're living in an environmental dystopia? That's where the story begins and it doesn't get any less wild. At once ridiculous and chilling, rising surrealist talent Freddy F. Fonseca explores the dark, porky underbelly beneath humanity's seemingly ever-more-virtuous race toward sustainability - and the genius puppet-masters who watch our feeble bamboo-straw-buying attempts and smile, while flattening another rainforest. Oh yeah, and there's our hero. The last remaining pig on Earth just happened to be blessed with superpowers. Which he would use to avenge the extermination of his species, were he not to get tangled up in an all-too-human web of greed, lust, and indifference. The anarchic and ambitious Heart of Swine has breath-taking scope and a wry, not totally resigned smile. It incautiously pulls away the covers to reveal how half-assed humanity's efforts to clean up after itself have been. It's funny and coarse, sure, but the writer is deadly serious. The epic failures we continue to see around the world on a personal and political level are taken to frightening lengths. And reading Heart of Swine is like a Rorschach test for one's outlook on the future - although it's hard to think, especially after finishing this book, that everything's going to be just fine. Customer reviews "Really enjoyed reading Heart of swine. It's an eye-opening experience towards our contemporary society. Written in a great literary work exposing our societies vices and follies." Amazon.com "Exaggerated and yet so believable. Themes and characters are great and reflect much of the modern concerns. I particularly liked the commentary, so hard and honest. The narrative is fluid and makes me never want to stop reading it." Amazon.com

Only love can save you from the past. "Now Sweetie, can you tell us one more time what exactly did you see in your Father's basement that day? I promise you that everything will be okay. This will all be over soon. What did you see?" She blinks a few times, holding her old and ragged stuffed animal closer to her body for comfort as she stares at the man with her big, doe eyes. She removes the thumb she was suckling and blinks up at him. She did not see the point of repeating it for the hundredth time today. She wanted her mommy and her older brother, Maxwell. "Where’s mommy?” The man looked at his partner, and they exchanged a look before focusing it back on the ten-year-old child in front of them. "Your mommy went to get dinner and your brother. Once you say it one more time, you are free to go. Please, this is very important. You want to help the nice woman you saw, right?" She nods, not knowing how life-changing the following statement out of her mouth would be. "I saw a naked woman tied down on an old yellow bed, and blood was all over her body inside my daddy's cellar room." "And why were you there in the first place?” "Because—"
