  The author of the Chance Purdue series introduces a Chicago detective who goes under the big top to take down the ringmaster of a Russian conspiracy.   When the CIA chooses Birch Kirby, a mediocre detective with a personal life even less thrilling than his professional one, no one is more surprised by the selection than Birch himself. But the agency needs someone for a secret mission, and Birch may be just the clown for the job. Going undercover as a circus performer, he travels to Grizzly Gulch to investigate the source of daily, un-decodable secret messages that are being transmitted to the KGB. Birch interacts with wildly colorful characters while stumbling through performances as well as his assignment. With the clock ticking, Birch must hurry to take a right step toward bringing the curtain down on this very important case.  Praise for Ross H. Spencer’s The Dada Caper “Parodies of the private‐eye novel come and go. Here is The Dada Caper by Ross H. Spencer. It has every cliché down pat, including rat-tat-tat writing in which paragraphs are seldom more than one sentence. . . . The hero is a private eye who is always tailing the wrong people and hitting the wrong guys. The Dada Caper is wild, shrewd, mad and unexpectedly funny.” —The New York Times

  If the events in the Book of Genesis happened in 2021 how would the stories be told? How would we handle some of the social, domestic, religiousbeliefs and practices in our present time? There probably would be news reports, criminal cases, domestic issues and many would still argue about religious beliefs. In this story all the characters from the Book of Genesis live in 2021 and most of them attend New Genesis Church. Miriam and Emmaline are devoted members of the congregation and they love to gossip about the members of the church.

I get to give birth AND change diapers!), money (screw the budget!), attitude (let a smirk be your umbrella), and more.   Also featuring an introduction by Taintor, this hilarious volume perfectly captures the deliciously sarcastic, snarky, and honest things that most women have found themselves thinking at one time or another. If you’re looking for trouble, look no further. . . .

  I'm Your Emotional Support...

  Three-time New York Times bestseller Adam Carolla is back to take on social media, social justice warriors, and a society gone to s**t. 
  In I'm Your Emotional Support Animal, Adam Carolla examines how our culture went careening off a cliff. We used to have one that created real warriors who fought world wars. Now it spawns social justice warriors who fight Twitter wars. He takes on those who are traumatized by Trump and emotional support animal owners who proclaim their victimhood at every airport. He stands up for the collateral damage of the #MeToo movement and for freedom of speech on safe space filled college campuses. 
  Examining the calculated commercials churned out by Madison Avenue, like the ones about cars made with love, Carolla rants on ads designed to either bum us out or make us think the corporation is run by Mr. Rogers. Turning to social media, Adam takes down the hashtag heroes who signal their virtue daily from atop Twitter mountain. And in the era of the Roomba, performances by dead celebrity holograms, and meals-on-demand delivery services, he looks down the road at our not-so-bright future as a species. 
  Frank, funny, and utterly unapologetic, this is not a book for those who need a trigger warning, but is THE book for everyone who wants to hit the snooze bar on the woke culture.
