Durian Grey may be the world toughest Pilates teacher, but that doesn’t always pay the bills. However, his size and a lifetime of Kali allow him to moonlight as a bodyguard.After a morning of unusual training techniques and dealing with his giant dog, Durian heads to work in the form of going out drinking with his strangest client.We get to see how Durian fights, and why. Violence is always predictable, but what happens at the bar that night challenges Durian’s thinking skills as much as his fighting abilities. And he leaves the encounter with a valuable lesson, at a more than reasonable price.Then Durian claims to have figured out a secret. One so valuable that it gets him an interview for the job he’s always wanted. He gets the job, but winds up having to fight for his life to keep it!

Praise for MEG PUPPY:

Adam Marcus-"Schimel mixes junk science and legitimate speculation to create a monster that feels authentic and provide a genuine thrill ride. Unlike most fish tales, we actually get to see into the shark’s mind as it evolves. Vivid and compelling, Schimel has created a post-modern Sea Monster. So good! Can't wait to read the sequel".
- Adam Marcus (writer/director Friday the 13th: Jason Goes to Hell, Texas Chainsaw, Secret Santa)

Craig Ferreira-“So many shark books have been written, however, it's really the same story over and over. A giant shark feasting on humans. This book takes on a different tack. It's not your average shark book. I found the alternative concept rather interesting and I am sure you will too.”
-Craig Ferreira. Author of “Great White Sharks on their Best Behavior”, “The Submarine”, “The Shark” “Vatican Blood”. 1990-95 Operations director of the White Shark Research Project at the Museum of Natural History in South Africa, 1995-2007 Director, South African White Shark Research Institute.
