  In this dazzling debut collection of realistic, speculative, and New Fabulist stories, Pushcart-Prize-nominated author Rin Kelly introduces readers to wax boys, sentient sex dolls, angels doing market research, gods transformed into sheep, and a man whose painful breakup is reported minute by minute by the 24-hour media cycle. Filled with wry humor, satire, and heart, Kelly's fiction depicts moments of estrangement from a reality that no longer feels real, warns us of near-future technological dystopias, reminds us of our shared humanity in the context of our mortality, and gives us a fresh appreciation for life's imperfect beauty. 
  These stories will appeal to fans of Aimee Bender, Kelly Link, Karen Russell, George Saunders, and Steven Millhauser. The collection is also a perfect way to introduce creative writing students to an author who writes across many genres, using tools and techniques unique to each while keeping her voice resonant throughout. In dark times, it is a must-read for keen insight, trenchant social satire, compassion, and life-giving humor.

  Tommy West is the finest Elvis Presley tribute in the North West of England. At least, that’s what is says on his van. 
  Off stage however, his life is a mess. He can’t pay his rent, his child maintenance is crippling him, and his old Bedford needs new tyres. Tommy is broke, drinks too much Guinness, smokes too much weed and is frightened of his own shadow. 
  So, as Tommy is such a delicate soul, you may ask why, on the first day of lockdown, he finds himself on his way to Folkstone in a borrowed fruit and veg van in the company of a psychotic Rangers fan, a sex starved blonde, a cross dressing navigator and an Afghan slave? 
  Why indeed? 
  All Shook Up is an irreverent look at modern life and pokes a rather sharp stick at political correctness in all its forms.

  Congratulations! You’ve found yet another self-help book that you’ll skim through, feel briefly inspired by, and then completely ignore while continuing to make the same bad decisions. 
  🚨 THIS IS NOT A REAL SELF-HELP BOOK. 🚨 
  This is a book for people who have: 
  ✔️ Bought planners they never use. 
  ✔️ Watched productivity videos while actively avoiding work. 
  ✔️ Googled “how to get my life together” at 2 AM while eating cold pizza. 
  Inside, you’ll find: 
  ✅ A step-by-step guide to pretending you’re working on yourself. 
  ✅ The absolute dumbest life advice you will never follow. 
  ✅ A checklist for success (that will collect dust on your desk). 
  This book will NOT help you: 
  🚫 Get your finances in order. 
  🚫 Find motivation. 
  🚫 Stop dating red flags wrapped in human skin. 
  But it WILL help you laugh at your own failures, which is basically therapy (but cheaper). 
  If you’re tired of reading books that try to fix you, this book is here to roast you instead. 
  📢 Go ahead, buy it. (But let’s be real, you’ll probably never finish it.) 🙃

  Cricket Crosby is back . . . and she's licensed to snoop! Fresh off divorce and a private investigator's course, Cricket's ready to balance running her antiques store with proving her PI chops . . . if someone will take a chance on her. When a local PI catches a case involving the theft of luxury goods, he hires the former debutante to go undercover to trap a thief. But snooping during PTA meetings and cotillion parties is harder than it looks, especially when Cricket's missteps cause a hunky police detective to cast suspicion on her new bestie, Ruby Balthazar. 
   
   
   
  As a former Long Pines Correctional inmate, Ruby has a lot to lose. She's a finalist in a local fashion competition and receives an invitation to New York City Fashion Week. Suddenly, she's parading around town with opportunity knocking faster than a fashion designer can answer. When Ruby is arrested and made the prime suspect in the theft case, everything she's dreamed of begins to unravel. How can Ruby create a new future if her past keeps dragging her backward? 
   
   
   
  The only solution is to catch the real thief, but that may prove more dangerous than either Cricket or Ruby imagined. Toss in an incontinent cat, a dognapping, and a hot tow truck driver, and you have a humorous tale that will keep you in stitches!
