  You’d think that being a Shopping Centre Santa at Christmas in Australia might be fun, but it’s actually full of tears, screaming, and tantrums… and the kids can be pretty wild, too. While working as a Stand-up Comedian, Darren Scott Sommer is suddenly thrust into the Big Red Suit at a major Adelaide shopping centre for an entire month. He used to think that handling hecklers was easy, but 6-year-olds can be really mean. 
  In this hilarious and eye-opening memoir, discover what really happens when you step into Santa’s boots. Follow Darren’s journey as he takes on the role at one of Adelaide’s biggest shopping centres in the outer suburb of Elizabeth. This is where he will spend the next four weeks remembering reindeer names, listening to requests for the latest toys, and being peed on by small children. 
  And before he can even settle into his new and unusual position, he finds himself being accused by centre management of promising an Xbox to an 8-year-old, getting asked by a little girl if Santa could bring her mum home from the hospital, and being told by a 12-year-old boy that he’s not the real Santa Claus… all while struggling to deal with the incredible heat that wearing wool, microfibre, and a polyester beard will produce in the middle of an Australian summer. 
  Equal parts comedy and confession, this book is for anyone who’s ever wondered what life is like behind the big white beard—and for those who know that sometimes the funniest stories come from the most unexpected places. 
  This is Santa, unwrapped.

  "Engaging" stories of what the Motor City was like before the invention of the motor (Detroit Metro-Times). 
   
   
    
  Long before it became the twentieth-century automotive capital, Detroit was a muddy port town full of grog shops, horse races, haphazard cemeteries, and enterprising bootstrappers from all over the world. 
   
   
    
  In this lively book you'll discover the city's forgotten history and meet a variety of unforgettable characters—the argumentative French fugitive who founded the city; the tobacco magnate who haunts his shuttered factory; the gambler prankster millionaire who built a monument to himself; the governor who brought his scholarly library with him on canoe expeditions; and the historians who helped create the story of Detroit as we know it: one of the oldest, rowdiest, and most enigmatic cities in the Midwest.

  The MAGA Bibble - Canon of...

  Parody Prophet

  What if political rhetoric were rewritten as sacred scripture? 
  The MAGA Bibble: Canon of Convictions is a sharp, fearless satire that transforms modern political language into mock scripture—complete with parables, commandments, prophecies, and verses that feel eerily familiar. 
  Written by Parody Prophet and performed with dramatic clarity by Michael Rubino, this audiobook delivers a deadpan reading of a fictional canon that mirrors the tone of religious text while exposing the contradictions, hypocrisies, and fervor of contemporary political culture. 
  This is not a religious text. 
  It is not an endorsement. 
  It is satire—crafted in the tradition of Swift and Twain. 
  Blending humor, irony, and biting cultural commentary, The MAGA Bibble invites listeners to examine belief, loyalty, power, and persuasion through a bold literary lens. 
  Whether you laugh, cringe, or nod knowingly, one thing is certain: you will recognize the language. 
  Listen carefully.
