Sinopse

The bishop was feeling rather sea-sick. Confoundedly sea-sick, in fact.
This annoyed him. For he disapproved of sickness in every shape or form. His own state of body was far from satisfactory at that moment; Africa—he was Bishop of Bampopo in the Equatorial Regions—had played the devil with his lower gastric department and made him almost an invalid; a circumstance of which he was nowise proud, seeing that ill-health led to inefficiency in all walks of life. There was nothing he despised more than inefficiency. Well or ill, he always insisted on getting through his tasks in a businesslike fashion. That was the way to live, he used to say. Get through with it. Be perfect of your kind, whatever that kind may be. Hence his sneaking fondness for the natives—they were such fine, healthy animals.

    Retirement’s rough when you have to stop the apocalypse. 
    A man who may be the Antichrist is walking the streets of Pittsburgh. Or maybe he’s just a jagoff insurance salesman with a big ego and good shoes.  
    An egotistical buffoon Archangel decides the man is the real deal and that it’s his job to intervene to stop the end of the world. Even though the Big Guy Upstairs frowns on this kind of interference with his entertainment. 
    Julian ‘Jilly’ Tetanich is a retired mafia contract killer who now owns a Pittsburgh bar full of colorful characters and whose best friend happens to be a slightly lapsed fantasy football-loving Catholic priest. When rogue Archangel Uriel descends from above with his God Squad sidekicks, they try to enlist Jilly to perform one more hit and save his immortal soul. All Hell breaks loose as the forces of good and evil prepare for this comedic showdown. Jilly will have to decide whether he should stick to his guns or dust them off one last time.

    An epic tale of one man's quest to save the world, one lover at a time. 
    A totally awesome novel that will fly off the shelves at airports, be on everyone’s nightstands, and get stolen from libraries all the time. 
    ABOUT THE AUTHOR 
    Jeremy Pimples (@TheJPimp) is the most popular author of his era. A sophomore in the Golden Hills School District and already a winner of some award, his other rad works include the taut thriller Who to Call When Your Stalker is a 911 Operator, and Tit for Tat, a Mathematical Approach to Morality. 
    TEASER 
    "They did it in the shower. Steam poured up over the foggy glass, then her hands hit up against it and wiped off a lot of the steam by accident because she was paying so much attention to doing it. Through the parts where there was no steam on the glass, you could see their bodies going at it like a deli worker lost in thought about his ex wife, making a club sandwich and angrily slapping on extra slices of turkey." 
    PRAISE 
    “If I had a nickel for every time I got aroused while reading this titillating hunk of words, I’d have $46.35. That would be 927 arousals plus $33.40 in profit. A great investment.” – Annabelle Faltado, CPA 
    “Genius. But not in that way where the geniuses are studying all the time and wear bowties and are totally nerdy. The kind of genius that has raging sexual desires and looks so handsome and smells so nice you would think he’s a stupid idiot who goes to the gym all the time but the joke’s on you because actually he’s really a mental genius.” – Kevin, Jeremy’s best friend 
    “Hands down, the sexiest thing I’ve ever read while sitting on the can.” – Paul Simon

    Green witch Rhianne Alkenn is trading city lights for country nights. 
    Well, more like a hinterland mystery — she's teaming up with Grandpa to untangle a thorny situation: a murder within the dryad community and a vanished teen. 
    Add to that the sparky tension between Isobel, the pathologist with secrets, and Nel, Rhianne's incubus best friend. Their dynamic is about to explode, revealing truths that might just be too hot for Nel to handle. 
    Oh, and murderous trees? It’s a thing. 
    Welcome to the countryside — where the scenery is breathtaking and the mysteries deadly. 
    Note: While part of a series, Deadly Forest is a standalone adventure — written in Australian English and set in the magic city of Sydney. 
    If you enjoy books by K M Shea, Heather G. Harris and Kim Harrison, then you’ll love this riveting urban fantasy story with a touch of humour and romance.

    Geek Love meets Sam Lipsyte in this rollicking, hilarious debut novel about a family of unforgettable women obsessed with securing their legacyClaire grew up with the legend of the Unsinkable Mounsey Women. Fanny, her great-great-grandmother, made headlines in 1915 for washing ashore in England nearly a year after her ship sank. Fanny’s daughter Sarah went to collect her mother on a British ocean liner named the Lusitania—whose sinking she, too, survived. Their improbable survivals led them to success on the vaudeville circuit and as Midwestern icons. But Claire never knew the full story—until now.Listless, jobless and recently canceled for extolling dangerous skincare advice online that sent a reader to the hospital, Claire is surprised when a knock at the door turns out to be the police, looking for answers about a 1970s cold case they suspect her mother, Kath, may know something about. As the cops zero in, Claire demands answers from her mother.Kath’s comically long response, which blossoms into the story of the Mounseys and their descendants writ large, moves from a Liverpudlian poorhouse at the onset of World War I to a Lake Michigan lighthouse in 1971 (when “sex was freer and McDonald’s fried their potatoes with beef tallow”) to present-day Chicagoland, and along the way, offers Claire a richer understanding of everything she shares with the complicated, resilient women she descends from.Replete with inappropriately old boyfriends, dubious medical professionals, and more than a few boats, The Responsible Party is the story of several women, in several different timelines, trying to stay afloat.
