  From the award-winning composer/co-lyricist behind such iconic projects as Hairspray, Sister Act, Mary Poppins Returns, and Smash comes a wickedly funny, no-holds-barred memoir. 
    
  In Never Mind the Happy, musical dynamo Marc Shaiman looks back on five decades of Broadway triumphs, Hollywood hijinks, and unforgettable collaborations. Along the way, he charts the personal highs and heartbreaks that have shaped him—spending his teenage years in community theater, starting a decades-long collaboration with Bette Midler in the'70s, surviving the AIDS crisis of the '80s, his award-winning film music career in the Hollywood of the '90s, right up to the highs (and lows) of creating Broadway musicals from 2000 on. 
    
  Candid, hilarious, and deeply human, Shaiman's story is a tribute to the power of music, the pull of the spotlight, and the beat that never stops. 
    
  Part showbiz tell-all, part love letter to the melancholy that fuels creativity, told in perfect comic timing—along with a few wrong notes, and plenty of standing ovations.

  My Betty-- Earning Her Promotion...

  Drew and Betty Stevens have such a great life. He's a river cruise boat captain who spends his weeks on the Seine River surrounded by gorgeous French countryside. She’s a tour guide working on the same boat!
   
  Ah, life is good. And it's about to get better. One morning, Drew and Betty are approached by a human resources director for the cruise line, who informs them that Betty is being promoted to cruise director!
   
  There's just one slight problem: Before this promotion can move forward, the HR director, Jerome Ferguson, needs to be convinced that Betty will be ready, willing, and able to take any and all orders from her husband, who will now be her boss.
   
  Betty assures Ferguson that she is up for the task. But he wants proof. He wants a "demonstration." And this demonstration will consist of Drew issuing her a string of commands that are sufficiently "difficult" for Betty to carry out.
   
  And to Jerome Ferguson, "difficult" means really dirty!
   
  Well, now, Drew can't resist! You see, as much as he adores his beautiful and wonderful wife, he’s been frustrated for years by Betty's lack of "open-mindedness" in the bedroom. Betty is conservative to the max. And this has been hard on poor Drew, who would like nothing more than to add some zesty spice to their sex-life.
   
  Well, Drew gets a little carried away with his newfound power. And his demands go beyond "dirty!"
   
  But that's not all. Not only is this demonstration arousing him to no end. Even better, it is giving him a sweet taste of what it's like to have a wife who is totally submissive to him--totally under his control--totally dominated by him--and humiliated out of her mind!
   
  Bottom line: Betty is now entirely under Drew’s control--at work and after hours--and now that Drew has assumed that new role, he's never going back!

  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.
