  Did I just embarrass myself? (Probably, but let’s obsess over it for 12 hours.) 
  Welcome to the official handbook for people who replay every conversation they've ever had like it's a humiliating movie they didn’t consent to star in. 
  If you’ve ever: 
  ✔️ Rehearsed saying “here” before roll call. 
  ✔️ Changed grocery store lines to avoid small talk. 
  ✔️ Said “you too” when a waiter told you to enjoy your meal. 
  ✔️ Sent a text, reread it 27 times, and still panicked… 
  Congratulations! You may be entitled to financial compensation (just kidding, but you will find this book painfully relatable). 
  In Did I Just Embarrass Myself? (Probably, But Let’s Obsess Over It for 12 Hours), we’ll explore: 
  📌 The existential nightmare of casual goodbyes (“See you later”... but WILL you?). 
  📌 How to pretend you’re normal in a conversation (spoiler: you’re failing). 
  📌 The traumatic experience of picking up the phone. 
  📌 Why texting is just anxiety in digital form. 
  📌 The social death that comes when your joke lands flat in a group chat. 
  📌 How to leave a party without having to say goodbye 47 times. 
  This is not a self-help book. This is a documentation of your suffering, written by someone who also lies awake at night thinking about that one awkward thing they did in 2013. 
  You don’t need therapy. You need to read this book and laugh at how dysfunctional we all are.

  A Life in Too Many Margins -...

  A Life in Too Many Margins is a literary episodic tale featuring David, an autistic, chronically ill, and deeply exhausted queer individual. He's survived a few too many doctors with God complexes, and an education system that couldn’t accommodate a paper cut, let alone a brain like his, and now he’s trying to keep it together long enough to get out and figure out what a life outside of survival mode even looks like. 
  Between unpredictable joints, cruel relationships, creeping dysphoria, and backward institutions that treat disabled people like spreadsheet errors, David’s not sure how much longer he can keep pretending to be “fine.” In A Life in Too Many Margins, David finds unexpected connections along the way, through equally chaotic friends, a dungeon master who lets him play with varying gender options, and one particularly random German policeman on a sheep farm. This book captures what it means to grow up disabled and trans in a world that keeps trying to file you away.

  Saving St Savior's - A Satire

  Gordon S. Jackson

  Saving St. Savior's is a satirical novel about an ultra-liberal pastor serving an aging church. His enthusiasm and ambitious ideas for the church include relocating its ministry to a nearby conference center, in a beautiful setting by a river. Not everyone supports his plans or vague theology, however, and tensions arise over the move, whether or not to save the church organ, and an accusation of sexual harassment. 
  The pastor's strong ecumenical orientation leads him to plan an inter-faith conference on the Emerging Church, to explore what churches should be like in a post-modern society. He seeks to bring in international participants, including Muslim, Jewish and agnostic representatives, but not evangelicals, because he sees them as intolerant. 
   He moves ahead with the planning despite the church's serious financial problems and hopes to resolve these by selling the downtown church building, which needs extensive renovation. The church's riverside property includes a defunct shooting range. Following a fatal shooting in a nearby town, a conservative church revives the shooting range's lease, to help the community to protect themselves. This development embarrasses St. Savior's and its pastor. He seeks legal advice to find a way to break the lease.  
  When the mentally unwell church organist brings a baseless charge of sexual harassment against the pastor, he takes a sabbatical. While temporarily relieved of his duties he is invited to teach a course at a local college when the professor is injured in a skiing accident and he takes her place. He learns she attends a small church that meets on the conference center property, in a boathouse next to the river. He begins visiting the boathouse, finding himself drawn to the setting and senses that God is speaking to him. 
   As his relationship with the professor develops, she presses him on his relationship with Jesus, resulting in him coming to a genuine faith in Christ.
