Too Big To Fail by Alex Henderson
About Too Big To Fail by Alex Henderson
From the author of Girth and Not Going Gently comes the hilarious tale of someone finding life a little tough at the top.
Gentle giant Jacob Waxman probably isn’t the right person to be overseeing the ethics of a voracious international bank.
It was never his dream job and he’s giving it his best shot, but when he gets trapped on the top floor of the building, Jacob’s going to find out that truth is the first casualty.
Because he certainly can’t tell his boss Brittany. She thinks she’s finally seen a spark of ethical passion in him and had only just asked him out on the date he now can’t attend.
Nor does he feel he can tell his colleague Helen and that’s more painful. She and Jacob are the best of friends, but there’s always a lot unsaid between them and she’s prone to panic, so this could be another truth she can’t handle.
Somehow though, he does feel he can tell his online delivery driver. Which leads to some very unorthodox outsourcing solutions.
And yet this new approach to the truth he’s forced to live with may just fix Jacob’s failing career and his non-existent love life. Hell, it might even help fix some of the other problems in his life that need to be addressed.
Just so long as he can keep everything under control.

With only twelve hours until the bookstore reopens, and the Space-arrangers (the space keepers of the bookstore) growing increasingly suspicious of him, he will have to work fast to prove he can rival the best the bookstore has to offer or risk being shredded into a pile of confetti.

SCAM A-LAMA DING DONG: A Funny Noir Rock Star Rip-Off by Jinx James
SCAM A-LAMA DING DONG: A Funny Noir Rock Star Rip-Off by Jinx James
Slide into the sleazy side of Show Biz, the dodgy side, in this fast paced Noir mash up of Dark Comedy, Crime and Classic Rock. When you’ve been a Rock Star as long as Marc Charles, you’ve seen a few Scams in your time, but never one quite like this. Cory, the dude from California isn’t just after Marc’s rock star mansion. He wants the lot, and with his corporation’s scumbag shakedown scheme he aims to get it.
To Marc it smacks of an old-time SCAM A-LAMA DING DONG rip-off. “Us Rock ’n Rollers have been getting scammed and ripped off ever since they invented shiny suits and electric guitars,” Marc tells his pal Howie.
But Rock Stars don’t like being messed with, especially when their career is at stake and time is running out. Marc fights back, and boy, can he play dirty too! With the brains of his sidekick moneyman Howie, and Marc’s own charisma and front, he sets out to turn the tables on the “Pay-to-Play” scammers. Marc’s tough-as-nails Agent, the ever-horny Felicity, is right in the line of fire, and there’s a new girl too, Samira, aka Sam. But she’s from a different age. This alluring heartbreaker isn’t taking any of that Rock Dinosaur crap Marc tries to lay on her.
As he battles Cory, Marc keeps up the hi-jinks like any red-blooded rock star: Sex in a cupboard, duets with a Cowboy movie-star, a déjà vu jig-a-jig with his knife-throwing ex-wife – it’s all here, along with a Classic Rock and Soul soundtrack. That and some kinky KO’s from Morgana, a crazy Bad-Girl TV star, a little hot guitar, plus an absolute nutcracker of a plot twist at the end.

Big League Balderdash: Tall Tales of Dandies, Thugs & Cheats Who Forged Our National Pastime by Tracy Tomkowiak
About Big League Balderdash: Tall Tales of Dandies, Thugs & Cheats Who Forged Our National Pastime by Tracy Tomkowiak
Baseball’s Origins Reimagined… Complete with Dozens of Player Profiles and Over 100 Illustrations!
Forget Abner Doubleday, the Elysian Fields, and the rest of those antiquated chestnuts from the past — Big League Balderdash turns the myth of baseball’s origins on its head and replaces it with a fresh, satirical revamp flavored with a twist of biting humor and irony. Follow the game from the mid-1800s as it hurls headlong through its first four decades, beginning as a rustic diversion in a logging camp and culminating with the first-ever “World’s Series,” a winner-take-all contest between industrialist J. Barron Sterne’s prim and proper American Association League and pugnacious National Frontier League headed by chirpy beer baron Pete Schnockerd. Along the way you’ll encounter the ballplayers: the swilling, gambling, fighting and bamboozling characters who turn the game into America’s pastime. Big League Balderdash is a rollicking tale that’s as true as a legend ever is.

Not Going Gently by Alex Henderson
About Not Going Gently by Alex Henderson
Things aren’t going so well for elderly widower Mitch.
His daughter thinks he’s rushed himself into a residential dementia centre before he becomes a burden upon her. In truth he’s more worried that if he doesn’t lock himself away then the secrets of his past will get out.
The care home could be a whole lot nicer, but it’s all he can afford and, anyway, Mitch is determined. He’s sold his house and signed his freedom away. Let them take care of him for the muddled remainder of his days.
Except that he’s not really in need of a place like this yet. And far worse – his former best friend and old band mate Ray is already here.
The last person he’d ever want to be trapped with.
Especially since the secrets are about him.
With a cast of vivid characters who will shock and delight in equal measure, Alex Henderson’s latest is a poignant and darkly hilarious tale of friendship, regret and the need to squeeze the juice out of every day we’re given.

OOF: An Online Outrage Fiesta for the Ages
About OOF: An Online Outrage Fiesta for the Ages
Award-winning novelist and cultural critic Strobe Witherspoon interrogates his own profession. It goes terribly.
“Wildly entertaining …Sometimes sad and sometimes hilarious, Witherspoon’s timely metafictional novel explores the ways (mis)information can shape public discourse in the digital media age.” – Booklife by Publishers Weekly
”Strikingly original …an innovative literary experiment that supplies a thoughtful commentary on the ‘discourse virus’ of our age …Witherspoon tackles a broad spectrum of media, including comically scathing excerpts from tweets, podcasts, blogs, and even academic journals and also keenly exposes the ways in which Strobe, the character, is implicated in his own online assault, due to his obsessive attachment to public life.” – Kirkus Reviews
OOF explores the role of satire in a society lurching from one ridiculous crisis to the next, where media outlets rely on clicks to stay alive and everything is filtered through a lens of anger and misinformation.
————
Strobe Witherspoon just sold his latest satirical novel for a lot of money. The book in question, FLOTUS: A Memoir, is a fictitious autobiography about a former first lady of the United States reflecting on years of misery at the hands of her much older POTUS husband. When a chapter is leaked in advance of the book’s publication, an Online Outrage Fiesta (OOF) ensues via mainstream news outlets, blogs, Twitter, troll farms, and everything in between. Witherspoon has his life placed under a microscope. Family secrets are exposed. Now, an anthology has been put together to document Witherspoon’s downfall—and settle the score.

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?

About A Stormful of Pickles by Elliott Fassbinder
The year is 2011, a week before Christmas, and the worst storm in twenty years is about to descend up Maidstone.
Mrs Francesca Dobbs, is thirty-three years old, a dinner lady, and a regular churchgoer. Ten years earlier, to escape her father, an overbearing and controlling Lutheran Pastor, she agreed to marry Mr Edward Dobbs. A dull, lumbering, and pious fellow. A rushed union proves to be just that – rushed. And Fran finds herself trapped behind walls of her own making. Still, she accepts her fate with stoicism and sinks into a life of grey domesticity. Her only buffer to the monotony of her existence are her weekly visits to a lavish tearoom ensconced in a luxurious Hotel. And for two hours, she is no longer Mrs Edward Dobbs, but a bright young thing on a grand liner exploring the globe. At home, she treats her sexual deprivation with an endless stream of pseudo erotic novels set in a bygone era.
This is all about to change…
After the school staff Christmas party, the storm hits. Fran huddles under a tree and waits for the bus. It doesn’t come. A Good Samaritan arrives, Peter Pearson, head of the English department. Though he turns out to be not so good. Peter is a sex addict. Will it be possible for Fran to repel the charms of this broken Irishman and chart a course back to tranquil waters?
The odds are stacked against her.

Bottomless Cups
About Bottomless Cups
“Grumpy Old Men With a Coffee Buzz!”
As senior citizens go, Teddy Greenwald might be described as a former class clown with life experience. Ray Starck is a only slightly more serious – sort of like the one kid in a mischievous group who somehow never gets caught. Their friendship has endured through more than a dozen Presidents, marriages, careers, innumerable bottomless cups of coffee and, not least, one another.
With so much shared history, the pair carries with them a vast treasure trove of memories. Some are great fun to dust off and reminisce about every once in awhile. A few of those memories, though, are secretly happier kept well below the surface.
When an old school friend decides to make a movie based on their lives, however, Ray and, especially Teddy, are forced to look back on themselves in vivid Technicolor. They find that facing your own life – past, present, and diminishing future – in one sitting can be considerably more challenging than it appears on the silver screen.
In the spirit of A Man Called Ove, Joel Bresler’s charmingly funny novel is a series of journeys between present and past, with characters who are amusing yet recognizable. They still have a taste for adventure, as long as it doesn’t require too much bending.
