They called me God
A comical story of a man called God who stranded five million years ago on our Earth. His life became an endless task of tweaking the genomes of great apes to create a race in his image. Exhausted in our Stone-Age, using cryo-sleep to refresh, he overslept and woke up recently in Wiltshire England to a new world. An epic tale told in 30000 words and 600 images.5-star review by author Jamie Michele.They Called Me God is a book that I went into having no idea what it would be and walked away with a massive smile on my face.The classic comic book style is a brilliant format. The artwork is bold, and the way Simonar creates an entire arc and storyline in this media style is a testament to his immense skill as a writer and, more importantly, a true creative. There is intelligent wit and satire, but there is also a real, fundamental basis of influence and survival, and the collision of old knowledge, new customs, and tolerance for both. God is, as one would expect, subject to exploitation, even indirectly. The highlight for me is the invocation of Emma Stone. Overall, this is an original and thoughtful work of art that absolutely promises readers a distinctive reading and visual experience, and I would give it a whole bucket of stars if I could. Very highly recommended.

Is Sex Necessary?
A sparkling literary spoof first published in 1929, Is Sex Necessary? is a sly, subversive response to the surge of earnest psychoanalytic sex manuals that flooded the American market in the Jazz Age. With mock-scholarly flair and deadpan absurdity, James Thurber and E. B. White dismantle the anxieties, theories, and taboos of modern romance-one ridiculous diagram at a time.This comedic collaboration marked the literary debut of both men, launching Thurber's career as America's master of neurotic whimsy and showcasing White's quiet genius for prose. Accompanied by Thurber's charmingly awkward line drawings, the book is a pitch-perfect send-up of both high-minded intellectualism and the fraught terrain of love and sex.Wickedly smart and delightfully inappropriate, Is Sex Necessary? remains one of the great comic gems of American letters-an irreverent tonic for the overly serious and an affectionate jab at our deepest, silliest questions.

Hello? Who Is This? Margaret?
Winner of the 2025 PenCraft Seasonal Book Award Fall Competition for Non Fiction - Humor Genre2025 NYC Big Book Award - Distinguished FavoriteA comedic look at blind ambition, stubborn optimism, and perseveranceDani Alpert is an expert on the fortitude and delusion required to pursue childhood dreams that just won't drop dead. Her experiences are a case study in the human spirit's tenacity and its unwavering ability to keep going in the face of crushing rejection. After years toiling in the entertainment industry, hearing "Almost," "So close," or "Not quite" on a loop, she turned rejection into fuel and humor into a survival tool.Some of Dani's stories dive into the bowels of childhood, the creative psyche, and the birth of an aspiring Broadway baby. Other episodes explore crippling adult fears and self-doubt and what happens when the ing矇nue becomes a member of AARP. Whether she's describing her bumpy road trying to get a foothold in Hollywood, her retail adventures shopping for gas masks during COVID, or her idiotic decision to vacation at a romantic couple's resort after a heart-wrenching breakup, Dani offers gentle shoves-inspiration wrapped in cautionary tales-for anyone still chasing their dreams but feeling stuck.Hello? Who Is This? Margaret? delivers tales of universally awkward, misunderstood, and human failings through wit, pop culture, and Dani's losses and wins (mostly losses). Her humor-sometimes dark and distorted but always self-aware-is a salve for the messiness and absurdities of life. Dani's candid essays speak to the hopeful in all of us.
