  When a troubled young comic meets a bold, unpredictable woman, their story spirals into dark comedy, spiritual questions, and the unexpected hope of redemption. 
  This short-form audiobook delivers a cinematic punch — part redemption story, part black comedy, all heart. 
   Chris is a young alcoholic who wants nothing to do with his family’s bizarre mortuary business. He dreams of being a comedian, of making people laugh — but the economy is brutal, his drug habit is getting worse, and his life is unraveling fast. 
  Then there’s Zoie. She’s gorgeous, confident, and completely unpredictable — and she’s got plans of her own. What begins as an offbeat romance turns into a chaotic ride through grief, love, repentance, and faith. 
  Zoie: “I Don’t Think Jesus Did It This Way” is a dark, fast-moving romantic comedy with a strange spiritual twist. This is a short story about the opportunities found in: true love, repentance, forgiveness, and redemption. 
  Jack Webb was born in South Carolina and raised mostly on U.S. Air Force bases in Europe and the southwestern U.S. After college, he worked in the motion picture industry and became a director of photography. While in film production, he honed his addictions to a fine edge. Now many years sober, he writes stories inspired by real experiences, tales he’s heard, and his own vivid imagination. This is his first novella.

  At twenty-six, Dom Contreras has already spent a decade jobbing through the minor leagues of professional wrestling as Hack Barlow, a three-hundred-pound axe-swinging lumberjack. As his body breaks down and his star power fades, he must invent a new gimmick before he loses the only job he's ever known. Meanwhile, Dom's seventeen-year-old sister Pilar is eager to make her own pro wrestling debut. Dom is determined to keep Pilar under his wing, away from the predators of a business infamous for eating its young. At the same time, he has a vision for her meteoric rise to the top—all the way to stardom (and a big payday) in the WWE. The siblings are close, spending much of their time in Dom's ancient Honda Civic en route to shows across the south, but as Dom craves privacy and Pilar reckons with her brother's conflicting roles of roommate, father figure, manager, and coach, their relationship begins to fray. 
   
   
   
  After Dom loses his temper in a match and Pilar injures herself preparing for her big tryout, Bonnie Blue, the eccentric owner of MCCW, spots an opportunity. She is poised to unveil her life's handiwork: an underground, guerrilla-style pro wrestling network with bouts climaxing in real, premeditated injury. To save his career—and his sister's hopes of breaking out—Dom must become Bonnie's new star and take on the one persona he swore he'd never embrace.

  Meet Finch. Enthusiastic tourist, cocktail lover, not yet wise to the ways of the galaxy. 
  Finch is a young avian on a mission to see the galaxy. There's plenty of danger out there on strange planets and in pirate-infested shipping lanes. Granny's old guide book from her travels a century earlier may be helpful - or could it lead Finch into mortal peril? 
  The round-the-galaxy tour is a rite of passage for every young avian as they approach their adult moult. Most youngsters do the rounds of the most popular sights and tick off the standard bucket list of experiences. Finch wants to follow the road less travelled, but deviating from the usual itinerary has its risks. Are avians safe in the wider galaxy? 
  Finch's brushes with feather smugglers and an apocalypse cult bent on destruction only serve to increase their thirst for adventure. Where will life, luck and Granny's guidebook take them? 
  Finch started life in a serious non-fiction book as a little character arriving on a new planet. They've appeared in several short stories over the years, but there are more adventures to recount. The Travels of Finch includes these earlier adventures and introduces brand new destinations, challenges and scrapes for your favourite avian - and the mysterious octopus barman.
