  “This book is hilarious and that bitch made me laugh out loud.”—Chelsea Handler 
  A chaotically joyous collection of essays from one of the original influencers and the internet's sweetheart, Bretman ""The Baddest"" Rock. 
  Hilarious and earnest, this collection of essays, how-tos, and more goes far beyond what we know of Bretman Rock from social media. Who is Bretman Rock Sacayanan behind the screen and how did he become the original superstar influencer and today’s beloved best friend of the internet? 
  You're That Bitch welcomes you into Bretman Rock's world—from how his childhood in the Philippines, his family, Filipino culture, and being a first-generation immigrant helped shape him into who he is today. Peek into how Bretman became a social media sensation at the precocious age of 14, balancing living a glamorous jet-setting lifestyle on weekends while still serving lunch at his school’s cafeteria, running as a varsity track-star, and making honor roll during the week. With his signature honesty, this is an unfiltered and unprecedented look at what it means to be one of the first digital celebrities and that bitch---from dealing with cancel culture, drama and heartbreak, to what it means to love yourself and your community. 
   From the funniest and undeniably cutest person on the internet, this is a book for the weirdos and for the bad bitches . . . this book is for you!

  Art. The greatest standard bearer of what the human condition really is?  Or Emperor’s Clothes, cheap gimmicks displayed as all-knowing? 
  When it comes to writing we have our favourite authors.  But what of the authors themselves. What are they keen to write of? 
  For our classic authors; from Poe to Lovecraft, from Woolf to Fitzgerald art in their words, is something to be admired.  From many angles, many views, their stories, their characters interact with art and the consequences fall as they may.

  A road trip, a misguided girl with dangerous habits, and a target on the loose. One trip to Vegas can change it all for two people on opposite sides of the spectrum. 
  Aalyah "Lyah" Artisan is your typical wild child. Running away from home with no form of ambition or sense of direction, she tends to follow no rules but her own as a cunning petty thief. On her latest attempt, she finds herself in a bit of a jam when she’s left facing the barrel of a gun for robbing the wrong target. While on the run, Lyah faces tough decisions as she battles her emotions and the consequences of her actions. 
  Picture-perfect Keith Hayden has only one thing on his mind—stopping his ex-girlfriend Tally from getting married. The problem is he’s on a time limit, and he needs to get to her—fast. Way across the country, Keith decides to throw caution to the wind and embark on what was supposed to be a solo journey to show Tally that she is making the biggest mistake of her life in Vegas. But his plan doesn’t fall into place when forced to take Lyah on his expedition after their unfortunate meeting. 
  As they knock heads, the two must overcome their differences to get to the other side of the country in time before it’s too late for them both. And they can’t do it alone.

  Scoundrels to the Hoosegow -...

  “Morley Swingle’s Scoundrels to the Hoosegow is not only consistently fascinating, but there is much to be learned from it about life in and out of an American courtroom. I highly recommend this engrossing book.” Vincent Bugliosi, Author of Helter Skelter  
  In Scoundrels to the Hoosegow, a veteran prosecutor who is also a terrific storyteller shares more than thirty legal stories drawn from real life. In cases ranging from tragic to hilarious, Morley Swingle offers a behind-the-scenes look at the justice system from crime scenes to courtrooms. 
  Swingle takes readers on an enjoyable romp through crime and punishment.  Whether describing a drunk who frees dogs from the pound or a serial killer who saves lives in his day job, he combines true crime and legal analysis with a healthy dose of humor—and shares the occasional “Perry Mason moment." 
  “If Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire of the Vanities captured the essence of criminal practice in a major metropolis, then Scoundrels surely captures the essence of that practice in small town and rural America.” Robert H. Dierker, Jr. 
  “Swingle has written an interesting, easily approachable—and rare—account of daily life as a prosecuting attorney. I am unaware of any prosecutor who writes better than Swingle. The book is refreshing. Mark Twain almost certainly would have enjoyed it.” Steve Weinberg, St. Louis Post-Dispatch 
  “Morley Swingle is a terrific writer and an even better entertainer. Lawyers and non-lawyers alike will enjoy being along for this informative and entertaining trip to the hoosegow.” Forward, Reviews of Indie Books 
  “Those who read Ann Rule, Joe McGinniss or John Grisham will enjoy this book.” Lithuanian Librarian
