  Hey Jesus It’s Me - I Have...

  Instagram star and comedian Ellen Skrmetti shares stories behind her wildly popular “Hey Jesus, It’s Me” sketches of a middle-aged, southern-woman's opinions on mamas, menopause, and menus—and on giving the Lord a bit of advice about those unspoken prayer requests.  As a young girl, Ellen Skrmetti loved performing. She starred in plays, sang in the church choir, and even competed in the Miss Mississippi pageant. But despite this she was gripped by severe stage fright and made a deal with God: If you help me get through this, I will never, ever get onstage again. After successfully hitting the high note in “Adelaide’s Lament” from Guys and Dolls, she packed up her drama clothes for good—or so she thought.     When the pandemic hit, Ellen longed to bring a little joy to the world. She thought about all of times she’d asked Jesus to walk with her through pain and heartache—and how often He’d laughed with or comforted her, even during her blazing hot flashes. So she decided to share that message with others, in 30-second videos on Instagram that quickly went viral.      Holding a remote control in her hand, Ellen "calls" Jesus with comments and questions, including asking Him not to make her an advance maternal age mama (again) and if He could bless the nourishment of her food to someone else’s body. She also asks for advice when her best friend’s ex-husband’s new wife shows up in the next pew, or what nursing home plans to make when she's eight years past her first geriatric pregnancy.     From a pageant queen with stage fright, to viral videos, to her growing popularity as a stand-up comedian, Ellen’s humor is rooted in southern charm and culture. Her relatable stories in Hey Jesus, It’s Me will bring levity to our lives, or at least some validation that we’re not the only ones asking if we can ghost our relatives in heaven.

  How to Behave Abnormal? is a hilariously eye-catching book cover designed in bold black text on a vibrant yellow background. The playful and chaotic theme is emphasized by a cartoonish, wild-haired lady holding an oversized syringe with a crazed expression, suggesting unpredictable behavior or satirical madness. The word "ABNORMAL¿" is flipped upside down, adding to the sense of confusion and rebellion against norms. With the author's name, "bArAkAtH", creatively stylized at the bottom, the cover sets the tone for an unconventional, humorous, and possibly outrageous take on social behavior. Perfect for readers who enjoy quirky, offbeat humor and satire.

  You know those stress inventories where you check off life's biggest disasters? Yeah, I've lost count. 
  In just one year, I lost my husband (and his brother), sold our home, moved across the country, quit my job, and watched my sister-in-law, who also happens to be my best friend, move away. So, here I am—twenty-seven, an MBA with no job, and a heart held together by sheer willpower. 
  And that's when Naomi, my mother-in-law, who also happens to be my best friend, introduces me to Kai Ipu. He's her oldest and dearest friend, a ridiculously successful, devastatingly handsome Black-Samoan CEO who built a corporate consulting firm from the ground up. He's older, brilliant, and way out of my league. So, obviously, I don't have to worry about falling for him, right? 
  Then he offers me a job. And I never back down from a challenge. 
  Loosely inspired by the Book of Ruth, Holland, My Heart is a full-length (7 hours, 46 minutes) contemporary romance about love after loss, second chances, and figuring out what comes next when your whole life falls apart. With sharp banter, f-bombs from Kai, a drunken confession of adoration, and just the right amount of spice, this slow-burn, witty standalone romance is perfect for fans of heartfelt, character-driven love stories.

  When tradition twists with popular culture and lands on “people’s oral humor,” idealistic Reuben Lamberth finds himself in a mess. He is a young, progressive, inspired scholar teaching at a prestigious northeastern university, but his other unique self has another foot 
  planted secretly in the world of standup comedy as Josh Sandburg. His stage name is a composite of ‘joshing’ and the renowned American poet Carl Sandburg.
   
  Neither his fully tenured professor wife Byrra who is enmeshed in a cabal of women’s faculty; his tough minor gangster-hood father Solly; his staid sociology chairperson and conventional colleagues; nor his tyrannical University President Jeremiah Brittle have any idea that he performs in comedy clubs as Josh Sandburg. 
   
  Should he be outed, there is considerable doubt that he will be upgraded to the coveted position of tenure, and his marriage may suffer as well. Reuben wonders, Is it worth giving up academia and taking a flyer in the world of comedy culture? The finale in this novel reveals tantalizing internecine connections that land squarely the realm of people’s oral 
  humor.
