Diary of a Mad Gay Man

When Jeremy wakes up on January 1, 2019, his life is off-course. He needs to find a new job, lose weight, and then . . . nothing else matters because what he really wants is a relationship. Why does everyone else seem to be dating but he's still single? It's not like he has a tail, two assholes, or looks like the Elephant Man. He dresses well (from H&M), gives ten percent of his salary to charity (drag queen performers), and exercises regularly (exercises his right to hook up, that is). 

He blames the gay community with its high standards and ageism. Everyone wants a rich, young, skinny bitch--so basically his boss. The other day, he chatted with a handsome Broadway actor (note: server), but after Jeremy sent him his pictures the server blocked him. Jeremy blames his pudgy face. 

Things only get worse before they get better. Credit card debt, long commute, and lots of social activities. His only escape from life is his diary and martinis. 

Diary of a Mad Gay Man is a witty, hilarious, no-holds-barred look at the everyday life of the ultimate New Yorker. He may be jaded and cranky but he's fabulous!

The Girl and Apple Martinis

In this humorous debut novel, Taylor explores family, friendships, adulthood, and the theory of rock bottom. Is life just like gambling or can everything be calculated?

There’s nothing like a strong drink after a day of hard work. Calyssa is at her favorite bar in New York, drinking, because things aren’t going swimmingly for her. After landing a remunerative job at Shred Unread as a secretary, Calyssa was able to afford a one-bedroom apartment, and even purchased her first couch to prove to her mom she’s now an adult. If life is anything like gambling, this job is the equivalent of a royal flush.

However, there’s Babette, a unibrow secretary with bad breath who wants Calyssa fired. For whatever reason, Babette’s boss, Mr. Grunt—the founder and CEO of Shred Unread—wants to see Calyssa first thing Monday morning, three days from now. To get her fired, for sure. Calyssa can’t afford to be fired. What would her mom think? True, Amelia is dead, but still. Calyssa has always wondered whether Amelia is in hell or in heaven, and most importantly, whether there’s any alcohol. Calyssa must keep her job. Whatever it takes.

The only person who can protect Calyssa is her boss Adam, who’s vacationing in Hawaii. But, what if Adam declines to speak up for her? To be safe, Calyssa decides to blackmail him, a task for which she’ll go to Hawaii, find him and get him drunk, and take some provocative photos of him naked—an idea empowered by the delicious apple martinis. This is how Calyssa ends up in Honolulu with a stolen fish, a black cat, a liar, a stripper, and a gambler—searching for Adam—to only learn that Hawaii is indeed a land of creation, but also a land of destruction.

The Devil's Thesaurus

An emotionally-charged collection of poems seeking to define the most powerful emotion of all.

What is love? In a painstaking effort to answer this question, the nameless narrator takes the reader on a tumultuous journey of true love gone direly sour.

Through poignant poetic storytelling in a unique dictionary format, Sam Faulk reveals the onslaught of emotion in the wake of a marriage’s covert deconstruction.

Beyond a mere collection of emotive poems, The Devil’s Thesaurus serves as an outlet to grieve not only the loss of a lover or the opportunity at fatherhood, but also the loss of self.

Ambiguous, reckless, strenuous, and vacant… These are only a few of the adjectives that sum up the culmination of events that transpire throughout this book’s pages.

Finding Warrior Pose

Jaya Gupta is having a bad week. Her dating prospects have fizzled, she has just lost her job, and her traditional Indian-American family expects her to get married.

When her grandmother uncovers the deed to a long-lost plot of land in India, now the home of a world-famous yoga ashram, Jaya is intrigued. Sent on a six-month holiday to learn yoga, Jaya is pulled into a new global travel backpacking scene.

She falls for Josh, a fellow traveler, and meets the all-powerful Panditji, the head yoga master. But when she stumbles upon Panditji's long-hidden secret on the night of the Shiva Moon Festival, everything changes. With Josh at her side, she sets off on a freewheeling, romantic adventure to find the mysterious source of an ancient secret. In a race against time itself, can Jaya find the inner strength to reach a higher level?

Smart Casual

In the vein of Chelsea Handler, Joan Rivers, and Amy Schumer, Smart Casual is a short collection of hilarious personal insights regarding English idioms and expressions. You'll read about "lose one's marbles," "drop-dead gorgeous," "keep the ball rolling," and many more. It is a hilarious, irreverent look at English expressions (with pictures) written in the style of a lexicon of profane words and expressions. 

KEEP THE BALL ROLLING: 

Have you ever seen a football? You can't roll it because it's not round. It's shaped like Stewie Griffin's head on The Family Guy-a prolate spheroid-which is shaped after an inflated pig's bladder. Do you know why? That's what people used when football originated . . . Listen, if you need animal organs to play a game, don't call yourself a ballplayer. Call yourself a butcher.

Puss on the Loose

I see London, I see France, Chloe needs some bigger pants. 

She's aloof, and her cholesterol is through the roof. 

And--poof--she can die as proof. 

I see Boston, I see Oklahoma City, Chloe lost her little kitty. 

Feeling guilty, feeling shame, what a failure she became

With no accomplishments to claim.

I see Ithaca, I see Syracuse, now Chloe is on the loose. 

FBI is on her tail. She must trick them or she'll fail. 

Will she crumble under stress? Can she live with no address?

The Cornerstones of Happiness

LINDSAY FINDS THE FORMULA FOR HAPPINESS IN SELF-HELP BOOKS.

While at times, self-help books can sound like a bunch of religious hoopla, other times, they become oxygen and water, two elements needed for your survival. The four cornerstones of happiness could be misinterpreted as a cult mantra. Since Lindsay wasn't religious and was afraid of cults, she realized she could take these four points and apply them through her own, nonreligious filter.

Healthy body, Community, Vocation, Partner

Out of the four cornerstones, however, Lindsay North had zero.

The Cornerstones of Happiness is a fast-paced, lively novel that deals with heavy issues yet is lighthearted. It's a mixture of a Cosmo article or a Sex and the City episode, intertwined with deep, fundamental human struggles (finding happiness and fulfillment), bringing equations, vectors, and velocity into the mix. Yet these elements come together, resulting in a modern, approachable novel with a message that isn't overly directive (like a self-help book) but invites self-exploration.

The Outlander's Grit

A man named Roberto David, dreamed to make it big in life. The purpose is to live comfortably-meaning to be able to pay the bills on time, without hassle. Even just a bit of it-he wanted to taste. To support his family-pluck them out of poverty was actually the main target.

He chartered the thousand mile distance to land in the country with "greener pasture"-so he thought. Little did he know, the green pasture was to be plowed, tilled, and tended in order to stay green.

In the absence of a legal status in the country he landed, trials started zig-zagging his way. Without a green card, he can't get a high paying job despite his college degree. He accepted odd jobs getting paid lower than minimum wage because he needed to get by-more so, to survive. He managed to snag employment at different companies using different credentials. But mostly he sought employment which were under the table-poverty, though, did not push him to defile his soul.

Applying for a green card wasn't easy. He tried to apply, but to no avail. With his Mom's approved petition - Roberto pursued immigration. But immigration won't budge. With "little" people like Roberto-it's not supposed to. Roberto was not important enough for immigration to bow.

What then would a soul do-to satisfy the requisite of a comfortable life? Does Roberto deserve it? Do any of us deserve it?
