Sinopse

If Janet Chow hadn’t been such a jerk to everyone at Sewanhaka High, they might have voted her Most Likely to Succeed. Twenty-plus years later, life hasn’t turned out how Janet expected. She’s rudderless, her career in journalism crashed, burned, and buried. How did it come to this?
 
But then one day, Janet recognizes her mortal enemy from high school—Pam Kowolski! Somehow, Pam’s become America’s manic pixie sweetheart, an online psychic predicting the end of the world. Pam’s rich, hawt, and famous, meanwhile Janet looks...middle aged. How did this happen? How did Pam Kowolski steal Janet’s life?
 
Janet knows the truth: there’s no way a dumb ass like Pam earned her success. She’s lying about her powers. The world isn’t ending. Pam’s a FRAUD. It’s time for Janet to wake up and claim what’s hers by writing an article that TAKES PAM DOWN. But to reveal Pam, she’s got to dig deep into their shared past. There’s bad stuff back there, scary stuff, and the more Janet learns, the more she worries: what if Pam Kowolski is right?


 
“A high school reunion is the end of the world in this slap-happy, upbeat carnival ride into the Apocalypse.”— Grady Hendrix, author of Witchcraft for Wayward Girls

 
"…simply genius in the way it explores the changeable nature of memory and whether it’s possible to escape a traumatic past. No one writes defiant, damaged characters like Sarah Langan; no matter how they try to hide it, you see every bruise.” —Alma Katsu, author of The Fervor

 
“Creepy and manic, Langan’s mixed media novella will grip you, pull you in, and take you right to the center of its beating, bloody heart.”
 
—Kate Maruyama, author of Bleak Houses, The Collective, and Harrowgate

 
“…totally unhinged, absurdly delightful, a ripper of a novella.”—Lindy Ryan, author of Another Fine Mess

 
“I couldn’t have loved this more. Funny, smart, disturbing, creepy. The novella that 2025 deserves.”—Paul Tremblay, author of Horror Movie

Working for his favorite billionaire, Mr. Triplehorn, again, Blake heads to Washington, D.C. to try and discover what no one else can. His discovery of a worldwide conspiracy cabal that is attempting to overwhelm and overthrow the Representative Republic of the United States of America will put his life, and the lives of others in danger—but Blake won’t stop.

    Step into the ramping, roaring days when the Royal Mail was delivered by the legendary Cobb and Co. "Oh, they were good days—rough days, quart pot days, damper days, perhaps—but still, they were big, brave, generous days", as Henry Lawson so aptly put it. Days when the world was wide, and adventure beckoned at every turn. 
    Immerse yourself in an array of amusing anecdotes and unforgettable tales that embody the grit & graft of the age. Let the romance and poetic charm of those times sweep you away, breathing life into the spirit and stories of a bygone era. 
    Embark on a journey that begins with the infamous ‘snake in the trousers’ tale—a legend that never fails to stir a chuckle. Venture through the extraordinary courage of Mrs. Mary Jinks, a mother of twelve who faced every challenge with unshakable resolve, and the tragic demise of swagman Tom McBride. Traverse deep, untamed creeks and billabongs—formidable obstacles that tested even the hardiest traveller. Relive the tense ‘Bail up!’ moments experienced by Cobb and Co. coach drivers, who wisely understood the perils of facing bushrangers, during the era spanning 1854 to 1924. 
    Through countless anecdotes, these stories illuminate the true spirit of the pioneers—their hard work, resilience, and boundless grit, shaping the fabric of early Australia. Every tale offers a glimpse into an era where determination, unyielding courage, and a hearty sense of humour flourished … “What would you like—lamb, ram, sheep, or mutton?”

    Funny, what people seem to want. In Art, Mystery, a controversial former footballer, now export agent specializing in chrome, accepts an unusual commission — to find and export a pornographic work of Renaissance art. 
    "Mr. Thompson has given us the perfect cocktail of suspense and whimsy. Very highly recommended—even the most humorless of art historians will be tickled by Art, Mystery!” 
    — Dr. Emmelyn Butterfield-Rosen 
    “I am impressed with Art, Mystery. Cracking dialogue. I enjoyed reading it. I also thought it was very funny and wore its humour integrally, I mean, like, subtle.”

    IndieReader Discovery Awards 2021 Winner for Humor 
    Utopia PR is a sci-fi satire about seeking work-life balance while doing public relations for an authoritarian president. 
    PR extraordinaire Blake Hamner (the n is silent) put off his honeymoon for his big break: joining a major political campaign for president. Now, the "Hammer" struggles to make time for his marriage as Crisis Communications Manager for Our Leader, who since taking power has become increasingly mad and totalitarian. 
    The Hammer starts to reconsider his career choices when one of Our Leader's savage steel hounds attacks the Comms team at a press conference. He'd love to talk about his erratic job with his wife, Triple-N news anchor Maria Worthington, but they have a rule: the broadcast journalist doesn't ask Blake for inside information about his work, and the spin doctor doesn't use their relationship as leverage on what Maria reports. They say you shouldn't keep things from each other in a marriage, but it's OK—the only secrets between Blake and Maria are professional. 
    When a revolutionary levels grave allegations against Our Leader—and accuses Blake of distributing disinformation and propaganda to cover it up—the PR rep who thought he could talk his way out of any crisis finds himself utterly trapped in a dystopian job. 
    "In a tale that’s reminiscent of political farces such as the HBO TV series Veep, Bender employs a smooth, amusing, and straightforward prose style that’s briskly paced," says Kirkus Reviews. "Its tone is irreverent, and readers looking for a quick chuckle will likely enjoy Bender’s winking comedy, which is punctuated with genuinely sweet, sincere moments." 
    "Sharp and witty, the novel Utopia PR is a free range political send-up set in a chaotic, perplexing, and familiar future world," says Foreword Reviews (Clarion).
