  **Indie Author Project 2024 WINNER** 
  **Distinguished Favorite Romantic Comedy for the 2024 NYC Big Book Awards** 
  She wants her life back. He wants to live. When a writer and her imaginary muse go head-to-head, real life gets complicated. 
  Callie Austin, the unknown author of the wildly popular Tex Miller book series, decides twenty-plus years of living in anonymity is enough. Her plan? Kill the beloved Tex Miller. But with a fierce agent, a cut-throat editor, and a beyond-zealous fan base, Callie knows not everyone will be happy. And just wait until Tex hears about it. 
  At twenty-two, Callie, orphaned and grieving, conjured Tex Miller, a dashing adventurer, a now-adored literary character who makes women swoon and men sit up straighter. Her novel skyrocketed, but Callie was lucky. It was the mid-1990s, pre-internet explosion, and much to her publisher’s chagrin, she insisted she remain anonymous by using a pen name. The enigmatic Calliope Jones was born and cloistered away in one fell swoop, leaving an idolizing public scratching its collective head. Visible only to her, Tex Miller became her constant screwball companion. 
  Two decades and a dozen books later, on a routine trip to NYC, Callie plans to end the Tex Miller saga, but an up-and-coming streaming service’s offer to turn Callie’s books into an original series may waylay Tex’s demise. Things spiral further when her trusted longtime driver falls ill, and a younger replacement chauffeur catches her eye—and maybe her heart, while Tex goes rogue, unsure he’s down with the new plot twists. 
  Throw in a dogged gossip blog’s rabid pursuit of ‘the truth’ along with Calliope Jones’s fervent fandom, and the world's favorite unidentified writer has her hands full.

  Emily Forsyth is on cloud nine…

  Suddenly, she’s single and homeless, and the prospect of staying in the same job as her cheating ex is unbearable. So, at forty years not-so-young, she quits steady employment and decides to chase her lifelong dream of becoming an actress. 
  But with eccentric acting teachers, unreliable agents, and some decidedly unglamorous roles on offer, has she made a huge mistake? Or is this the start of something wonderful?

  Buckle Up for a Deliriously Uncanny Literary Ride 
  Have you ever wondered about the deep-sea depths of unorthodox, unclassifiable stories that most ghostwriters take to their graves unseen? The kind of tales that straddle realities and make you second-guess the line between fact and fabulist fiction? 
  If so, "Mnemonic Phantasms" is the deliciously twisted tell-all you've been waiting for. In this daring anthology, an anonymous ghostwriter exposes some of the most bizarre, mind-bending client requests they've encountered over decades of sculpting prose in the shadows. 
  From crafting alien abduction memoirs and decoding subterranean civilisation epics to channelling celebrity afterlife autobiographies and exorcising cult leader manifestos - no paranormal subject, interdimensional whisper, or eccentric megalomania is off limits. 
  With dizzying narrative dexterity and a masterful command of speculative psychosphere violation, "Ava Silica" (a soigné nom de plume) brings readers along for a wild ride. It's a no-holds-barred immersion into the most uncharted, unchartable territories where few ghostwriters dare to tread. 
  Part memoir, part uncategorisable omnibus, this one-of-a-kind volume boldly unveils every ghostwriter's darkest secret—that the most unbelievable assignments are also often the most demanding. Thanks to Silica's decision to shatter the civility cloaks of confidentiality, you, the reader, get to experience the delicious, disturbing psilocybin trip of sheer WTF?! First-hand.

  Phenomenal Cosmic Power... Itty Bitty Moral Compass. 
  With paranormal activity at an all-time high, Arturo Brooks and Edward Smith decide to stop working for others and form their own paranormal detective agency. They're not the only ones. The market is saturated, and they struggle to find even a single client. 
  That changes following a chance encounter with a genie that doesn't grant wishes so much as do whatever the hell it wants. The detectives' reality is completely upended—for better and worse. Better for them. Worse for the world. 
  Brooks and Smith have to set things right, but their attempts at doing so are complicated by a genie-thieving venture capitalist, self-sabotage, and a newer, stupider detective in town. Some wishes really can’t come true. 
  About the Series 
  From the mind of award-winning author* Martina Fetzer, the Brooks & Smith series brings fast-paced science fiction and fantasy with an emphasis on humor. It follows two detectives and their makeshift family on a series of increasingly absurd adventures. These books are often silly, sometimes dark, and never child friendly. A Genie Ruins Everything is Book #3. 
  *1996, 1997, 1998 Oakview Elementary Perfect Attendance Award 
  About the Audiobook 
  Narrated by James Urbaniak (The Venture Bros., Difficult People), A Genie Ruins Everything is guaranteed to induce laughter. Real laughter. Not just a slight exhale. It is not recommended that you listen while chopping down a tree, conducting a train carrying radioactive waste, or anything else requiring intense focus.
