Featured Post: In the image of Man by Mark Long

Leave a Comment

“About In the image of Man:

A spark of godhood, a mere potential to be a new god, finds a pool of belief where a hitchhiker had died. After millennia floating insensate in the world, this spark became aware of itself in Berkshire, England.

A chance meeting with a vending machine repair man gave this godling a mission – to find believers and survive. Bob, god of vending machine repairs and computers came to a world that didn’t know that it needed him.

Lack of experience led to his first two believers being opposed by established religion and locked in a mental hospital but Bob looks after his own.

Things were looking better until the rogue asteroid came… and Bob had to save the world despite only having four believers.

This is a loving, respectful and rather philosophical satire that has had great reviews.

Time Is Irreverent by Marty Essen

“About Time Is Irreverent:

AN IRREVERENT, LIBERAL, TWISTY, TIME TRAVEL COMEDY!

What if you could make a change to history that would eliminate the Spanish Inquisition, American slavery, World War II, global warming, and an egomaniacal US president who thought he was smart enough to drop nuclear bombs here and there without negative consequences? What if that change also made the United States and 5 billion people poof from existence? Would you do it?

When alien time travel specialists, the Krichards, learn of President Handley’s game of dodge the mushroom cloud, they race to Earth to investigate. For them, the question of whether it’s worth it to change history is easy to answer, but they will only proceed if the human they deem best qualified to represent Earth agrees to make the change. Erasing Handley’s nuclear annihilation will require a quick jump to AD 31 to correct an error in history. If the Krichards select a brilliant scientist or an elite athlete for the task, Earth may be in good hands. Instead they select Marty Mann, a mildly successful travel writer whose only superpower is not taking life too seriously. What could possibly go wrong?

Spanning from the Cretaceous period to 2056, Time Is Irreverent is a hilarious, thought-provoking satire, with unpredictable twists, colorful aliens, huge dinosaurs, a smokin’ hot lesbian from the future, and a cameo from Jesus Christ himself!

Publisher’s Warning: This book is intended for a liberal audience and features satirical content that may not be appropriate for Donald Trump supporters or those who are offended by views that challenge traditional religious beliefs. Common side effects include wide smiles, sudden laughter, and occasional snorts. Reader discretion is advised.

“About A Christmas Eve Service Spectacular:

Free Dec 21-25, 2018!

How hard can kindness be on Christmas Eve?

Last year Tess Endwell had an epic mom meltdown and ruined Christmas for the family. This year she’s vowed to do better. But a smoldering trivet, a hideous vest, and four squirrely kids threaten to unravel her Christmas Eve plans yet again.

All she wants is a happy Christmas for her family—until she realizes there may be something better.

Mix the family chaos of “Mom’s Night Out” with a can-do supermom and drop them into the Christmas advent season like “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.” That funny short story would be “A Christmas Eve Service Spectacular.”

“A Christmas Eve Service Spectacular” is a holiday family comedy. If you like funny family Christmas stories and clean comedy fiction, you’ll enjoy this.

The Case of the Not-So-Fair Trader (A Richard Sherlock Whodunit Book 1) by Jim Stevens

Leave a Comment

“About The Case of the Not-So-Fair Trader (A Richard Sherlock Whodunit Book 1):

A despicable stock trader is found buried under an avalanche of his own garden rocks, causing fired-from-the force- Richard Sherlock to be yanked off the bowling alley and whisked to the crime scene by his pampered protegee Tiffany Richmond. He must prove murder and stop payment of the twelve-million-dollar Richmond Insurance policy.
Nothing makes sense. Crime scene is a mess. There is no money trail. There are too many motives from too many suspects who have too many alibis. Worst of all Sherlock’s bad back is acting up, his ex-wife wants more money and the murder investigation is putting a serious dent in his parenting schedule of his two daughters.
Richard Sherlock hates his job, and may be a reluctant dick, but he is better at finding the WHO in WHODUNIT than anyone else.

101 Brand-New Quotes, One-liners and Short Jokes: A Collection of Over 101 Humor Materials You Won’t Find Anywhere by D.J. Shelton

Leave a Comment

“About 101 Brand-New Quotes, One-liners and Short Jokes: A Collection of Over 101 Humor Materials You Won’t Find Anywhere:

Anyone who regularly combs the Web for quotes, one-liners and jokes knows that new materials are at a premium. Most of the so-called new materials are nothing but hackneyed stuff.
With this book—the first in the series and undoubtedly my first great contribution to the development of humanity—you get some fresh and original stuff. No timeworn materials. A lot of effort has been put into keeping them short, dense and straight to the punchlines. After all, some of us have other important things to do like work, sleep, and slay on social media. To aid understanding and (or) add emphasis, keywords have been italicized. And all jokes are organized into categories for easy reference.
You get materials on intelligence, money, politics, government, relationship, marriage, motivation, etc. Now, spicing up that boring write-up, speech, tweets, etc. with some top-shelf, pithy statements should no longer be the exclusive preserve of rocket scientists.
A million thanks to those online purveyors of cliched quotes, one-liners, and jokes for providing creative inspiration for this work.
Forget the somewhat misleading title of this book—marketing gimmick, of course—you are getting well over 101 materials.
This book is ideal for the young, the old and the age-is-just-a-number crew.

About Ghoul School:

P.S. 19 is out of control! The students are running wild! They’re loud, rude, and refuse to follow the rules. They’d rather play tricks on their teachers and fellow students than pay attention and learn. Floors are flooded. Things are exploding. And the cafeteria ceiling is covered with goo. Their pranks and mayhem are destroying the school. The teachers and staff are at their wit’s end and don’t know what to do. Desperate, they call Witchery and Spells Educational Services for help. This new company provides specially trained substitute teachers, cafeteria workers, and hall monitors to problem schools. Their staff turns out to be a ghastly group of witches, vampires, werewolves, and other assorted ghouls, goblins, and monsters! But as scary as they are, can a visit from these very strict, very scary subs really make the children change their ways?

Leave a Comment

About The Sweetness Run:

“Comedy central in a book, mad funny and unpredictable. Great read.” – Review by Nishant

“An incredibly raunchy comedy that’s a combination of Family Guy, Deadpool and Curb Your Enthusiasm all rolled into one.” – Review by Anthony Avina

A no holds barred laugh riot riot where friendship transcends everything from race to orientation to sporting allegiance.

“The Sweetness Run is an ecstasy for the mind and soul.” – Review by Ranjan Rakesh

Life can be quite a serious affair.
Getting through it takes a strong will and an unconventional mindset.
Enter Jason. The prototypical man-child.
Mindsets don’t get more unconventional than this.

“A deep dive into the mind of an original and colorful character and his struggle to overcome the challenges of life.”

Jason always relies on his quick wits, colorful friends and dumb luck to help him trudge through the trials that life throws his way. But his biggest source of comfort is the hard-fought-for trophy of his league, The Sweetness. Her Majesty The Sweetness is Jason’s shining beacon of warmth and innocence. A source of ever lasting light to guide him through the darkest of times.

When The Sweetness is stolen, Jason will have to summon all of his courage, rally the boys and rescue her Majesty from the clutches a most nefarious foe. They will have to combine their strengths and trust the bonds of their friendship if they are to ever see The Sweetness again. The mission the group undertakes will surely strain their bonds but will eventually bring them closer together in ways they never imagined possible.

“This exhilarating journey has some of the most descriptive and colorful commentary on life and brings both humor and insight into male friendships.” – Review by Anthony Avina

Featured Post: Potlatch by Bruce Hartman

Leave a Comment

About Potlatch:

Have you ever wondered why life seems so complicated, so exhausting, so fattening, and yet so pointless and idiotic? It’s all part of the Potlatch.

To Alice Coggins, the 24-year-old daughter of a South Philadelphia scam artist, everything looks like a racket: endless serflike internships, student loans that can never be repaid, high-minded charities run by swindlers for the benefit of rich donors. Things only get worse when she meets Andrew Ogleby, a scion of blue-bloods who is engaged to a bulimic pet-food heiress he can’t bring himself to marry. As their Cinderella romance unfolds, Alice and Andrew must battle their families, the mob, and most of all the ubiquitous “Potlatch”: a vast conspiracy of conspicuous waste directed by the powers that be to keep the populace — and especially the young people — from even thinking about doing anything useful.

“Get ready for a hilarious ride in Potlatch… One of the most amusing reads ever to be published.” — Lisa McCombs for Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews.

About Pianist in Bordello:

What would happen if a politician decided to tell the truth—the whole truth?
Richard Youngblood, aspiring Congressman, is about to find out. He’s running on a platform of honesty and transparency—and against the advice of his friends and advisers he’s decided to start with himself. His autobiography will lay his entire life bare before voters just days before the election.
And what a life he’s had. Born in a commune and named Richard Milhous Nixon Youngblood as an angry shot at his absent father, Richard grows up in the spotlight, the son of an enigmatic fugitive and the grandson of a Republican senator. He’s kidnapped and rescued, kicked out of college for a prank involving turkeys, arrested in Hawaii while trying to deliver secrets to the CIA…Dick Nixon Youngblood’s ready to tell all.
He’ll even tell his readers about the Amandas—three women who share a name but not much else, and who each have helped shape and define the man he’s become.
Are voters really ready for the whole truth?
Are you?
Pianist in a Bordello is a hilarious political romp through the last four decades of American history, from a narrator who is full of surprises.
