Based on The Life of Carlton St. Michael, the NUMBER ONE TOP RATED show on the URN!
So, who is Carlton St. Michael?
Carlton St. Michael is an up-and-coming atheist stand-up comic on the verge of fame and fortune. The only problem is, he's dead. Actually, twice dead. Caught dead in Jersey. Twice.
And, his life story has become the number one top-rated show on the Undying Rerun Network (URN).
A Christmas Comedy, of all things.
But Carlton isn't buying any of it. He's out to prove it's all some near-death hallucination that will fade to black when he really dies, or vanish when he awakes.
Don't wait to see it on the URN. You have to be dead...

Personal Ads for Witches Sarina Dorie
In Tardy Bells and Witches’ Spells, Clarissa Lawrence is asked to fill out an intake form by a recruiting agent for Womby’s School for Wayward Witches. Later she finds this form in Hex-Ed and in later books when she works as a teacher at the magical boarding school she gets to assist with recruiting.
Thirteen Ways to Tell if You Are a Witch is a short quiz you can take if you are like Clarissa and your owl never came with your acceptance letter to a magical boarding school.

Sarina Dorie's The Memory Thief is perhaps not all that probable, but a fun romp through an off-world steampunk romance with fascinatingly elaborate plotting.

You can't beat a good witch story, and as a fan of them, this one rocks, and should be an essential part of your reading collection. Grab it today!
Just think if that was possible? This story has so much exciting potential when it comes to 'what-if' scenarios. Add the sci-fi element to a thrilling romance, I believe this book has every ingredient needed for a great book.
All the best.
I downloaded this book as something to read over my lunch break and completely fell in love! I found the characers so wonderful and believable. The world-building is just amazing! I definitely will be looking up the rest of the Womby's School for Wayward Witches books!

Ace Tucker Space Trucker James R. Tramontana
Ace Tucker is a man who was raised in outer space and taught how to be human by a Russian cyborg chimpanzee. Ace earns a living as a rock-and-roll roadie and cargo hauler for the greatest band in the galaxy, Mustache Supernova. His world is turned upside down the night he meets Elvis Presley, the very not-dead King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. When Ace saves Elvis from an alien assassin he must travel to Memphis, Tennessee to restore Presley’s health. But things are not what they seem at Elvis’s pastoral home, Graceland. There, Ace makes a discovery that has the power to shape the future (and potentially undo the past).
Now there's a cover that's designed to send me on my merry way to Valhalla! Great title, and an even better youtube unicorn death rock anthem. Keep up the brilliantly insane work.
I just love this cover! Great concept too. Can’t wait to get my hands on this book!

Escape From Samsara Nicky Blue
Barry's been patient, but after twenty-seven years of trimming hedges for people he hates, he's had enough. All he wants to do is to find his missing father and to discover his inner ninja. But life’s not done with throwing him curveballs.
A fatal mistake catapults Barry into the adventure of a lifetime. With talking hedges, samurai ghosts, meddling psychotherapists, and an inexplicably non-linear time pattern conspiring against him, Barry must do battle to save his hide, unleash the ninja within, and rescue his father from an ancient army, a dark sorcerer and a raging inferno.

Don't be fooled by the beautiful cover, this is a story about an over-the-hill hedge-trimmin' ninja with a heavy metal listening grandma. The characterizations are well-done and the book is an engaging, light read.
Overweight fish finger addicted ninja gardeners? Samurai ghosts? What's not to love! If you're a keen Robert Rankin fan, I'd recommend giving this book a read.

A Farce In Three Acts - Who knew the apocalypse could be so much fun? Follow our cast on an adventure through the city of Las Vegas, where everyone in town wants to get their hands on a stolen black case and a beautiful Princess. There’s an amazing car chase, a fantastic rock concert, tons of super cool cameos, and what sort of apocalyptic adventure would it be if we didn’t save the entire planet by the end of the show?
Post Oh!pocalypto Poppycock may be the most important literary work of a generation. Of course, “may” and “important” are broadly defined terms... Either way, the end of times just got a lot funnier.

Interesting plot!
This one is a very entertaining prequel, and if the rest of the series is done in the same way, I know I will enjoy it immensely.
Looks really intruiging! Escape from New York meets Zombieland! Lots of thrills!
It's easy to laugh and be entertained with this book. Great job, Chris!

WTF-OMG Volume II Martin E. Silenus
WTF-OMG Volume II is the second eBook in a collection of short articles dealing with personal and humorous views of people, society, our customs and traditions. It asks a lot of awkward questions about the state of things and why we do what we do. It even includes an adult Dick and Puff reader. Entertaining and light -hearted it is sure to keep the reader amused while waiting in the never ending line-ups of our current sociological lifestyle.
Vietnam was Hell, and this story brings readers into the heart of the jungle to experience what our brave men in uniform endured during that horrific eight - year - old conflict.
Martin E. Silenus shares his humorous essays about what the way life should be for a hard working male. Not too long, not too short, and definitely entertaining. Reading this is like having a beer and venting with your buddies. Ah, good times!
This sounds like the kind of story that belongs on the big screen because upheavals like these are visually amazing. That's why I want to read it. I want to see if it's a brain workout for the imagination to add those visuals.
This series looks so cool! It may be the next series I didn't realize I needed in my life. Looking forward to checking it out.
I love the cover and title. Cool.

Tardy Bells and Witches' Spells PREVIEW: Womby's School for Wayward Witches Sarina Dorie
Nerdy high school outcast, CLARISSA LAWRENCE, has always felt like she didn’t belong in this world. More than anything, she wants magic to be real—and not just because she’s obsessed with Harry Potter and tries to go to Narnia by reading fantasy novels in her wardrobe. Yet, when she stumbles upon real magic, and fairy tales come true, she doesn’t expect to be the evil villain in her own story.
Clarissa learns she’s descended from an evil witch and is destined to kill her older sister. When she meets a cute boy who offers to train her in magic, she must make a choice. She can have a safe, normal life and no harm will come to anyone. Or she can choose magic and risk everything and everyone she loves in order to be what she’s always known she was meant to be . . . a wicked witch.

Suburban Luchador: Tales from the Burb Side Philip Rivera
Meet the man who's making minivans and mowers sexy again. In Suburban Luchador: Tales from the Burb Side, author Philip Rivera turns his ordinary family, marriage and teaching scenarios into offbeat and humorous slice of life stories.
Whether he's describing his overzealous experience as a soccer coach for four-year-olds, or reliving an innocent video game challenge with his wife which gave her PTSD-like symptoms, he's as skilled at painting vivid "everyman's life" scenes as he is at being an overzealous neighborhood vigilante.
For every suburban, urban, village or hamlet underdog out there wondering, "Does anyone else imagine these things?" - this is a whimsical and humorous look at common experiences we can all relate to.

Definitely adding this to my reading list. It sounds whacky and hilarious
The title "Suburban Luchador" sucked me in from the outset, and Philip Rivera's tales of being bossed around by children, dealing with cockroaches, and a quest for minivan parts at a junk yard (or is that 'auto salvage yard'?) are just as enthralling. In the introduction, the author states that he hopes to "highlight the wonder and humor that exists", and I think he has captured this beautifully. "Unfortunately, we live in a world where wonder has been demystified. Dragons and castles are reduced from larger-than-life creations to images on a screen or toys to be put away."
Although I only read a sample of stories from the full edition, Suburban Luchador: Memoirs from Suburbia is a beautifully formatted, well-illustrated book of everyday magic, full of warmth and the wonder of childhood.

Ever suspect your cat was plotting against you?
In a world in which magic is real but novels have never been invented, magical artists called Emotimancers spin their art with the help of housecats. What all the wannabe emotimancers don't realize is that they are slowly imbuing the world's cats with magic.
Stanley Elefson works as a lowly assistant to a junior aquiring editor at a magic house, but dreams of more.
When a global conspiracy of magically enhanced housecats, led by the diabolical Mr. Boots, threatens to take over the world, can Stanley find a way to stop the cats while still keeping his boss happy?

Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimal Weiqi Wang
This is the first book of a teen fantasy book series that nurtures the bloom of MAGIC in the soil of SCIENCE - something rarely attempted. The transition from magic to science will be bit by bit, so the early books do read like a "mainstream" magic fantasy.
Soarame has a pair of special eyes. He can see magic elements in this world, which are supposed to be invisible. This enviable gift of his could reveal the truth of the world, but it also puts him in danger.
Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they are called “magimals” - dragons as examples. Soarame fortunately got a baby magimal as his best friend, but they got into troubles together - troubles that were a lot bigger than dragons.
Could they survive?
