Jessica Harper Is Not Woke (The Misadventures of Jessica Harper Book 1) by Jessica Harper (Avenue of the Americas Media) (27 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

"The first anti-woke novel ever published - and it's hysterical." Marcia Gaines This is the story of Jessica Harper, a wife and mom living on Georgia's coast, whose life falls apart in the space of 48 hours after she outs herself as "not woke" at a dinner party. A chain reaction of events - including a disastrous appearance on a shock jock's radio show - causes her to lose her friends, her job and (nearly) her sanity. But when a local newspaper owner offers her the chance to head up a new magazine, she thinks her problems are over... when in fact they're only just beginning. Now Jess finds herself plunged into the mystery of who stole the statue of the town's founding father, why legendary author Annalee Calhoun vanished in 1970 and who's trying to sabotage her magazine before it's even hit the streets... This rich satirical novel features an unforgettable palette of characters including Jess's woke nemesis Kayla Cobb, her alcoholic saviour Porter Montrose, loyal husband Brandon, ditzy best friend April and a motley assortment of statue removers, knee takers, social justice warriors, semi-mythical authors, devious spies and a ragbag army of eccentric journalists. Oh, and there's a car-munching alligator called Colin Hanks. At the heart of the story is one big question: should she back down to the woke mob or stand up to them and risk losing everything? ***** "A huge breath of fresh air. Let's hope this is the first of many more anti-woke novels to come." "The anti-woke angle aside, this is hysterically funny. I would consider it a great comic novel up there with The Thursday Murder Club series, Bridget Jones' Diary and A Confederacy of Dunces." "Finally someone has done it, published some conservative fiction that skewers the woke nonsense. I hope it sells a million copies and the publishing industry weeps for a long time." "It's sunshine between two covers. I laughed from start to finish at this wonderful tale of an everyday, conservative Georgia mom who ...

Space.Man by Robert F. Phillips (JSMedia) (30 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Comedy! Action! Space! Aliens! Dirty Slippers! Space.Man is a hilarious take on the science fiction genre. It combines elements of action and comedy to create a narrative that promises to keep the reader engaged, thinking, and laughing. Set in the near future, Space.Man explores the misadventures of Captain Jordan Taylor of the U.S. Space Corp. A man selected for a mission of isolated deep space travel because of his introversion and preference for being alone. Due to bureaucracy and mismanagement, he is quickly forgotten about and left to fend for himself alone in outer space. Desperate to survive and return to Earth, while also dealing with faulty government equipment built by the lowest bidder, he finds himself immersed in a much larger world where the fate of the galaxy is in his hands. He must join a group of colorful and strange characters that he wants nothing to do with and find a way to bring them all together as a team to stop the spread of an uncontrollable galactic threat. Enemies are made, friendships are developed, and the galaxy is saved through sarcastic comments, dirty slippers, and a healthy dose of pop culture references. Space.Man easily transitions from scientific and technical prose to memorable, laugh out loud comedic action with a few shenanigans thrown in for good measure. Space.Man contains action and humor that will interest the casual science fiction fan or mainstream audience, but also tastefully slips in references and Easter Eggs that will keep the hardcore geek entertained.
