Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.2MB
Overview: Katerina Nikolas lives in a small Greek village with her teen son and cat. She is considering acquiring a goat.
Genre: Fiction > General Fiction/Classics

1. Goat In The Meze: A hapless American couple who are stranded in the bonkers backwater Greek village of Astakos are befuddled and bemused by the antics of the villagers who charm and outrage them with their quirky ways.
The elusive underwear thief is busy plundering the local washing lines hoping his identity will never be revealed, whilst the Pappas is up to his neck in nefarious schemes. Mail order Russian bride Masha is indulged by that old fool Vasilis in her passion for plastic surgery, and Stavroula plots to extricate herself from her marriage to the supposedly dead Toothless Tasos.
Not a day goes by in Astakos without deviousness and humour as part of the scenic backdrop.
2. Rampaging Roosters: Quentin’s mother Hattie, the deluded victim of a catfisher, befriends the two old crones and Bald Yannis devises some devious new scams. The Pappas is seduced with a rooster boiled by an amorous widow and the prison protest to free one of the villagers’ results in an international incident.
Will the goat be allowed to act as a bridesmaid, will the fishermen ever pot some lobsters for the village lobster festival and will mail order Masha realise her ambition of becoming a famous television weather girl?
3. Olive Virgins: Quentin and Deirdre eagerly embark on their first olive harvest under the critical eye of the carping old crone next door and the unwanted attentions of her parrot. Mail order Masha has achieved silicone fame in her glamorous new job as a weather girl and Stavroula has to cook up an impressive foreign Christmas dinner in her audition for the cooking show. Bald Yannis suffers a butt full of pellets and Soula discovers her father has been hiding a body in the deep freeze.
On a stormy night when the fisherman are brawling Nitsa bags herself a moustached suitor, before helping Fotini cook up a curse to rid the village of the superstitious peasant Katerina. The Pappas has a novice trainee to boss around; Thea’s cat is traumatised by the antics of Toothless Tasos; and gossip about the paternity of the side-burned baby blows up at the baptism.
4. Goatly Goings On: Quentin and Deirdre, eager to return to Greece and rid their Idaho home of unwanted Greek guests, are embarrassed by the antics of the two visiting old crones who get arrested at the airport on the way back. Over in Astakos a crazed love starved stalker starts squatting, cleaning the houses she breaks into and setting up creepy shrines. Bald Yannis suffers a phantom pregnancy and cooks up a scam to lure Doomsday trippers to the village, while Mail order Masha turns into a sugar binging glutton. Fotis takes Nitsa home to meet his ancient mother, Quentin invests in a guard goat, and Deirdre flashes a randy old goat herder.
How long before Prosperous Pedros realises he’s attracted an admirer? Will Pappas Iraklis turn his back on the celibate life and will a rare blood donor be found in time to save one villager from certain death?
5. Greek Capers: ‘Call me Mel’ takes over Stavroula’s taverna kitchen, with his trusty sidekick Fotini adding something extra to the food. Mail order Masha attracts the eye of an oily Kazakh who’s in cahoots with the corrupt mayor, whilst her old fool of a husband languishes in a coma.
Evangelia indulges in a most peculiar hobby whilst stocking the beauty parlour’s new fish pedicure spa with some dubious tiddlers, leading to a village outbreak of warts and fungal foot infection. Nitsa’s unfortunate encounter with bleach leads to a hideous new look and an unexpected twist; and Quentin’s new parrot protection is mistaken for a hazmat suit.
Can the tender lick of Onos the donkey jolt Vasilis out of his coma? Will the vile prosecutor send Toothless Tasos to prison for faking his own death? And will love blossom under the watchful eye of busybody chaperones?
6. Float The Goat: During a scorching summer in Astakos an over-the-edge near miss sees Quentin and Deirdre inadvertently kidnapping a goat, which reunites them with the philandering goat-herder, Pungent Pedros, still hung-up on his long ago rejection by Fotini. Toothless Tasos is planning a surprise wedding for the goddess of his dreams, whilst Bald Yannis lures Nitsa into his scheming plans to sabotage the grand opening of Stavroula’s tourist tat annex.
Production of ‘Granny’s Traditional Greek Cure All’ gallops along, but Melecretes is more interested in embroidering cushions and removing his body hair than in seducing Evangelia. Will a new arrival in the village spell love for one of the regulars? Can Quentin find the pink flamingo in time? And will Thea ever say yes while dressed up as a meringue surprise?
7. Hiking The Icon: The newly lean Pappas cashes in on his accidental tapeworm weight loss by scamming the villagers with sales of the dodgy Divine Slenderize. Quentin suffers the unwanted visit of Deirdre’s insufferable vegetarian cousin Gertrude, but finds her sausage stuffing husband’s enthusiasm for all things Greek contagious.
Mail order Masha, surgically restored to her pre-baby glory, catches the eye of the sergeant who makes army life miserable for poor Iraklis. Voula fights off Lecherous Lukas’ wandering hands, whilst Stavroula schemes to get her hands on his money. Nitsa finally goes clubbing, a sudden elopement proves very inconvenient, and Deirdre is alarmed by an invasion of Hell’s Angels.
Against a background of murder, mincing and musical babies, the villagers rush to lose enough kilos to tackle the hill in the annual pilgrimage of hiking the icon.
8. A Very Meze Xmas: The prospect of bedding down with the three old crones next door and sharing a festive feast of Christmas Tinners is not exactly what Quentin and Deirdre have in mind when they arrive in Greece, thrilled by the prospect of spending their very first Christmas in the Lemoni Spiti. The hapless pair experience a series of unexpected surprises during the season of peace and goodwill.
Nitsa causes havoc with a sprig of plastic mistletoe, whilst Fat Christos cashes in on the gullible Americans insatiable appetite for tasteless Christmas tat, and ‘call me Mel’ comes a cropper in Fotini’s Christmas grotto. A disastrous experiment with scalp pigmentation is the least of Bald Yannis’ worries after an unfortunate outing reduces him to a dribbling half-wit, leaving the field free for the Pappas to take on the role of chief scammer, scheming to raffle off the part of baby Jesus in the nativity play.
