Take a journey across the sea with the weirdos and miscreants upon the Ship of Dreams with ._.carlow’s People of the Titanic! Buy here => https://amzn.to/4hTHCUD

On April 10, 1912, the Titanic departed England, ultimately bound for America. It famously struck an iceberg on the way, and as the mighty ship went down, it took 1,500 people with it, most of them good-hearted, innocent people and notable pillars of society. But what of the jerks, losers, weirdos, and malcontents? Their stories — comical, fanciful, and completely hypothetical — shall be told in People of the Titanic: 30 Tales of Extra-Doomed Souls Who Sailed on the Ship of Dreams (ISBN: 978-1-954158-36-8).

Shawn Carlow brings to the surface the stories of 30 of the quirkiest, strangest, and most dangerous passengers on history’s most ill-fated ocean cruise. Revel in the fictional biographies of truly curious Titanic folks, such as the heroic mime who kept performing as the boat sank; the importer forced to choose between his passion for passion fruits and his dispassionate wife; and the Danish spiritualist whose “readings” confirmed that his rich customers’ opulent lifestyles would continue well into the afterlife.

Advance Praise for People of the Titanic:

“Throw some of your allegiance to historical facts overboard and enjoy these funny and imaginative tales of the doomed ship’s lesser-known guests.”
—Martha Kelly (Euphoria, Baskets)

“The humorous spin on the Titanic we’ve all been waiting for. Finally a book that bridges the gap between history nerds and comedy nerds.”
—Brian Kiley (Conan)

“Shawn Carlow’s buoyant writing makes his characters come alive. People of the Titanic will quickly float to the top of your list of historical, tragedy-related comedy.”
—Jessie Gaskell (Conan O’Brien Must Go)

Hell no! We won’t groan! LYSSA STRATA, the delightfully funny novel by , is available now!

She’s mad as hell, and she’s not gonna give it up anymore! Librarian Lyssa Strata has long begged the Town Council of Athena, Massachusetts to repeal its disgusting, old, misogynist, and racist laws, but the Council, an all-male entity for 400 years, has blown her off as a redheaded spinster—who, according to a 1673 law, should legally be run out of town at the end of a musket upon a poor fiscal year. When Lyssa seeks to invade the male bastion as the first woman ever on the Council, the men in charge treat her candidacy as a hilarious joke; that is, until Lyssa leads the women of the town on a s*x strike.

About WALKER: Back in the 1860s, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone more famous and revered than Preston Dilettante, America’s greatest long-distance pedestrian. Preston’s descendants dispersed across the U.S.A., and his most devoted among them, Walker Dilettante, decides to literally follow in his ancestor’s footsteps and walk across the country. He just wants to reunite his family before his beloved Grandpappy walks his last steps. But Walker’s walk isn’t a solo trip — he’s joined by his social media-savvy cousin Ria, and trailed by mysterious forces and ancient rivals alike. Along the way, he embroils himself in a deadly national scandal and unearths shocking secrets about his family history.

It’s the Wildest Thanksgiving Weekend Ever When Death, Crime, Love, and Booze Are on the Menu: Come for “DRINKSGIVING” by Dewey Lovett

It’s the night before Thanksgiving and Bernice is back home in Western New York, happy to chug $2 beers at the only bar in town. After a few too many Gennys, she goes home with a scumbag townie and wakes up next to his freshly dead body. She panics—now everyone will know she slept with this guy! Bernice’s attempt to “hide the body” gets tricky when Jeffrey’s very-much-alive-and-real girlfriend shows up asking what happened.

Now Bernice must go to absurd lengths to make it home for dinner while also clearing her name and without anyone finding out about her woefully ill-advised hook-up. The turkey and pie move all the more out of reach upon the arrival of a foe (or possibly friend) Happy Drinksgiving (ISBN: 978-1-954158-34-4) everybody?

“A nailbiter where horrible things keep happening to horrible people, but I still found myself rooting for everyone. This book is funny, unpredictable, and heartwarming. I loved it!” comedian Jo Firestone says of Drinksgiving. Joe Perra, of Joe Perra Talks With You, says, “A holiday novel set in Western New York featuring beer, crime, and Wegman’s? My dreams have come true.”

“Couldn’t put Dewey’s book down! Upstate turned city girl who’s too good for her hometown ends up in a hilarious night‐ mare one night stand. There’s comedy, crime, and hotmess — a trinity of a great read. Couldn’t ask for more from a novel!” —Katie Boyle, comedian

A fun, unpredictable, twisty, and deeply funny mystery about messy people who get things done when they absolutely need to, Drinksgiving (ISBN: 978-1-954158-34-4) is available in paperback format wherever books are sold! , distributed by IngramSpark, and on assorted e-book platforms.

Dive Into Community Pool, the Funny, Filthy, Wild, and Sweet Second Novel From Acclaimed Author Keith James!

The entire town of Chubbuck, Idaho, loathes Jerry Yatsko. Even his family can’t stand him, including his openly cheating wife and huge dork of a son. Daily visits to the local municipal pool don’t quite bring the family togetherness that Jerry desperately craves, but it does help him stumble on a portal that blurs the lines between reality and dreamland. His actions in one place can change his fate in the other, and Jerry — as well as a young and unpredictable friend — can use this powerful tool to either take revenge on the monsters of Chubbuck or protect the people that he still, somehow, and begrudgingly, deeply loves.



Come on in, the water’s fine in Community Pool (ISBN: 978-1-954158-32-0). It’s a misanthropic and profane comedy that transforms into a powerful, moving sci-fi adventure through space, time, and the human heart.



“I wrote this book as a brand new dad, in the middle of the pandemic. My wife, my daughter, and I were living with my mother-in-law. I thought a lot about communities,” author Keith James says. “What is my obligation to the community? What is the community’s obligation to me? If I say, ‘screw this community,’ when would I be wrong and when would I be right?”

Keith James is a writer and performer from San Diego. He has trained and performed at Pack Theater, iO West, and UCB. Community Pool is his second novel, following the acclaimed dark comic fantasy Greg Maxwell’s Inferno (Humorist Books). He also writes and hosts the Gus Biblowitz: Basketball Legend audio series.
