  Getting Even is not a rom-com, it's an after-it-all-goes-horribly-wrong-com. (there’s really no romance except for Shug fancying the pants off Ella). 
  Anyway, ever had a laugh contemplating the most ridiculous revenge on that arse of an ex, shaken your head and moved on? 
  Not Kathy. Kathy sees it all the way through. . . 
  Kathy is thoroughly fed up of being on the wrong end of a series of break-ups, and at forty, she can safely say that she is absolutely and completely scunnered. 
  There’s only one thing for it: it’s time to get even. 
  After searching for other lovelorn souls with their own axes to grind, she masterminds the ultimate schemes to get back at their exes. What could possibly go wrong? Until . . . 
  Housemate Sheena figures out what the whole star-crossed gang is up to and has got a taste for revenge of her own. Wonder if you can guess who she enlists to help her? 
  With a large measure of deviousness and a cast of Scottish characters – including plastic surgeons and a lovable Glasgow gangster – Getting Even turns out to be quite the business!

  Joyful Recollections of Trauma

  From award-winning actor and comedian Paul Scheer, a candid and hilarious memoir-in-essays on coming to terms with childhood trauma and finding the joy in embracing your authentic self, featuring content exclusive to the audio edition, including excerpts from live shows and audio clips from home movies. 
  Paul Scheer has entertained countless fans and podcast listeners with stories about the odd, wild, and absurd details of his life. Yet these tales have pointed to deeper, more difficult truths that the actor and comedian has kept to himself. Now, he is finally ready to share those truths for the first time—but, of course, with a healthy dose of humor. 
  Blending the confident, affable voice that has won him a dedicated following with a refreshing level of candor, Joyful Recollections of Trauma chronicles Paul’s often shocking, admittedly tumultuous childhood and how the experiences of his youth have reverberated throughout his life. In his comedy, Paul has always been unafraid to “go there,” to play naïve, cringeworthy characters, imbuing them with disarming charm and humanity. That daring openness is on display in the pages of this memoir, but in true Paul fashion, it is also surprising, eye-opening, and side-splitting. 
  In this madcap journey through the inner working of his mind and creative process, Paul Scheer demonstrates once again that the truth is often stranger—and funnier—than fiction. Joyful Recollections of Trauma offers a unique perspective on universal themes: growing up, working through a challenging childhood, staying true to yourself, and finding success, fulfillment, and happiness in often strange and difficult circumstances. Throughout, Paul shares both the hard-fought lessons and the laughter that can be found in the darkest parts of life, and reminds us that what matters is not what you’ve been through but who you are becoming. If you loved recent memoirs by Molly Shannon, Maria Bamford, RuPaul, and Jennette McCurdy—or any book that moves you to both laughter and tears—Joyful Recollections of Trauma is the perfect read for you.

  Have you ever looked back and pondered about how you became the person you are today?  
  Scattered throughout our lives are snippets of memories, perhaps the warm glow of nostalgia, mixed with the twinge of loss… and if you’re lucky, some of those memories are as hysterically funny and equally heartwarming as this book’s trip down memory lane. 
  In his debut book, author Eric Litsky takes us on a journey of growing up in New York City in the 50’s and 60’s from the point of view of a boy who ran wild, getting into high jinx and impossible situations, but all with the love of a family that tethered him safely to home. 
  Laugh out loud stories are woven seamlessly with precious memories and life lessons, leaving the reader longing for “the good old days” while also being immensely grateful for the experiences and people that shaped us. 
  In “Harry Would be So Proud”, an appreciation for our past weaves seamlessly into how we grow and look to the future. Pick up this book today for an experience that is pure joy.  
  Eric is also the author of the book Frying Pork Chops Naked: Another Pocketful of Funny Life Stories. 
  Eric Litsky was born in the Bronx and raised in Queens in the middle of the post war baby boom years. After tumultuous college years he had a ten year career in advertising/public relations followed by three decades as a commercial real estate broker. Between his career and raising a family, Litsky has been an amateur singer/songwriter, tango dancer, stage actor and now an author. 
  The stories from his life are handled with a light touch and self-deprecating humor.
