Meet the absentminded terrorist who opens a mail bomb returned to him for insufficient postage.  Marvel at the thief who steals electrical wires before shutting off the current.  Gape at the would-be pilot who flies his lawn chair suspended from helium balloons into air-traffic lanes.   These tales of trial and awe-inspiring error illustrate the ongoing saga of survival of the fittest in all its selective glory!  The author has appeared in USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, The (NY) Daily News, Boston Herald, Publisher Weekly, BookPage and CNN.com.

  People Watching - A collection...

  A fun writing exercise (started when I should’ve been working on my Edinburgh Fringe show) that somehow turned into a proper thing. I began jotting down names, staring out of the window, and listing all the stuff that gets on my nerves (cooking, cars, jogging). And now, here we are: a lovely—if I may say so myself—collection of short stories about normal people struggling with really basic things. 
  Perfect toilet reading, perhaps, given how short they are. Or something to dip in and out of while you're parked up in Waitrose car park waiting for your mum to do her shopping. 
  Features three swear words and possibly a couple of typos. 
  About the author 
  Paul S. Richards is a writer based in Cambridge, England. He’s 44 and often talks about himself in the third person. Over the past 20 years, he’s taken more than thirty plays to the Edinburgh Fringe, earning a fair bit of acclaim along the way—most notably for Harvey Greenfield is Running Late, which was later developed into a feature film. 
  He drinks too much coffee and is determined to grow a beard one day.

  Henry VII To Elizabeth I - A...

  Prepare for the most uproariously grim tour of Tudor England ever recorded! Gilbert Abbott A'Beckett's classic satire skewers the so-called "golden age" of English monarchy, revealing the Tudors as they truly were: a parade of tyrants, schemers, and royal disasters who treated their subjects like pawns in a deadly game of power. 
  Witness history's worst monarchs at their terrible best: 
  - Henry VII - The paranoid accountant-king who taxed England into submission while pretending to unite the realm. His reign ran on spies, forged claims, and enough gold to make a dragon jealous! 
  - Henry VIII - The original wife-disposer, whose marital musical chairs left two ex-wives headless and a nation bankrupt from his ego. His break with Rome? Just history's most expensive midlife crisis! 
  - Edward VI - The sickly boy-king whose advisors turned England into a Puritan playground where fun went to die (along with most of the treasury). 
  - Bloody Mary - The original firestarter, who turned heresy trials into London's hottest (literally) public spectacles. Her Spanish marriage? The Tudor equivalent of a disastrous Tinder date! 
  - Elizabeth I - The Virgin Queen (or so she claimed) who ruled with an iron ruff, executed her cousin for fun, and bankrupted England fighting wars while pretending to be immortal. 
  From the War of the Roses' messy aftermath to Elizabeth's dying delusions of grandeur, this book proves the Tudors were less a noble dynasty and more a reality show with better costumes and worse consequences.  
  A'Beckett's razor-sharp wit transforms historical atrocities into dark comedy gold, exposing how royal marriages were just preludes to executions, every royal proclamation hid a hidden tax or trap and the only thing growing faster than Henry VIII's waistline was his kill count. 
  Perfect for fans of Horrible Histories., with dark humor, historical atrocities, severed heads, royal tantrums, and exactly zero apologies for mocking the monarchy.

  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.
