  I'm Probably Going to Hell for...

  Do you ever wonder what comes after this life? Do you ever wonder why the nun who taught your seventh-grade math class could swing a ruler better than Babe Ruth? Did you ever wonder if Noah put the tigers next to the gazelles in the arc? How about some of the rules in the Old Testament? And why did the Vatican commission paintings of Jesus that looked like a guitarist from Led Zepplin? Jesus was from the Middle East. He didn't look like any of the paintings we have seen over the years.  
  I try to tackle life after death, religion (especially the Catholic religion), and the Old Testament in this book. The book is filled with satire. Just look at the title. It's a book to make you think and laugh. Nothing more, nothing less.

  On the night of her high school graduation, a young woman follows her older sister Debbie to Salvation, a Los Angeles bar patronized by energy healers, aspiring actors, and all-around misfits. After the two share a bag of unidentified pills, the evening turns into a haze of sensual and risky interactions—nothing unusual for two sisters bound in an incredibly toxic relationship. Our unnamed narrator has always been under the spell of the alluring and rebellious Debbie and, despite her own hesitations, she has always said yes to nights like these. That is, until Debbie disappears. 
   
   
   
  Falling deeper into the life she cultivated with her sister, our narrator gets a job as an emergency room secretary where she steals pills to sell on the side. Cue Sasha, a Jewish refugee from the former Soviet Union who arrives at the hospital claiming to be a psychic tasked with acting as the narrator's spiritual guide. The nature of this relationship evolves and blurs, a kaleidoscope of friendship, sex, mysticism, and ambiguous power dynamics. 
   
   
   
  With prose pulsing like a neon sign, All-Night Pharmacy is an intoxicating portrait of a young woman consumed with unease over how a person should be. As she attempts sobriety and sexual embodiment, she must decide whether to search for her estranged sister, or allow her to remain a relic of the past.

Written in 1894, Pudd'nhead Wilson is full of characteristic Twain humor and stands as a gem among the author's later works.
  
  Mark Twain, whose real name was Samuel Clemens, was the celebrated author of several novels, including two major classics of American literature: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. He was also a riverboat pilot, journalist, lecturer, entrepreneur, and inventor.

Librarian Prunella Pearce has left heartbreak behind to start a new life in the village of Winterbottom, where there’s little social life to be had aside from the meetings of The Winterbottom Women’s Institute at the parish hall. But a bit of excitement ensues when the group is about to elect a new president—and the nominees for the position begin dropping like flies. One is found facedown in a lemon drizzle cake, stabbed with a crochet needle. Another nearly dies spectacularly in the revolving doors of a Harrogate hotel. When Pru and her friend Bree agree to do some undercover snooping to help the police, little do they know that one of the Winterbottom women is hiding a scandalous secret . . .

  #1 AMAZON BESTSELLER (Absurdist Fiction, Kindle Store) • #1 AMAZON NEW RELEASE (Humorous Dark Comedy, Kindle Store) • #1 AMAZON NEW RELEASE (Absurdist Fiction, Kindle Store) •Meet Puchy Mushkin, the hero of this “fast-paced phantasmagoric satire of a debauched contemporary LA…” (1) who “vows to live a life devoid of want…” (2) while thrusting himself into “the wildest situations and transgressions in a carnivalesque Los Angeles.” (2) This novel is “often uproarious,“(2) “delightfully wicked, outrageous…" (3) “brilliantly written and very funny.” (1) 
  Puchy Mushkin is a big dreamer and an even bigger loser whose spectacular failure as a human being is exceeded only by the enormity of his penis.   
  In the depths of his despair, Puchy has an epiphany: could the endless series of screw-ups that define his existence be the result of his overwhelming desire for success—the success he believes is his birthright? 
  To test his theory and, hopefully, change his fate, Puchy vows to banish all dreams, goals, aims, ambitions, and obsessions from his life except one: to assassinate desire itself and hang it by its feet like Mussolini. 
  What follows is the hilariously dark, raunchy, and irreverent tale of one man’s twisted war with himself—an anti-story about an anti-hero whose only motivation is to have no motivation at all. 
  Will Puchy succeed in his quest to conquer desire? Or will desire get him first? Grab your copy of The Tyranny of Desire TODAY to find out.
