The Gospel
According to St. Rage
by
Karen Eisenbrey
Meet Barbara Bersen, Former Invisible Girl.
Barbara has been invisible since the third grade. Friendless and lonely, one day she is brought back into the light by a magic hat. Barbara becomes less of an outsider in her mission to create an all-girl garage band, and she discovers the power she has always had on the inside — as in super powers. A hilariously awkward and painfully delightful story, Karen Eisenbrey unites truth, justice, and rock & roll in Barbara’s touching transformation into St. Rage. Yes, we all love Wonder Woman, Black Widow, and Jessica Jones, but Barbara is the hero high school deserves.
“A character-led, magical tale. A FINALIST and highly recommended.”
-the Wishing Shelf Book Awards
“...a witty, intelligent and humorous tale of empowerment, friendship and anxiety and, as the cream on top of it all, comes with its own soundtrack.”
-Angelika Rust, author of the Resident Witch series and Tales of Istonnia

Don’t Read This Book
By Benjamin Gorman
Magdalena Wallace is the greatest writer in the world. She just doesn't know it. When three witches inform a thousand year-old necromancer that Mags can write a novel so powerful it can bring an end to human civilization, she's kidnapped and forced to write the book. Rescued, she's on the run with the manuscript - and the fate of humanity - in her backpack, and a whole lot of monsters hot on her heels!
"Don't Read This Book is a whimsical, fast-paced, delight; snappily written, deliciously funny and smart, and full of affection for its characters. Benjamin Gorman may be the coolest high school English teacher ever. Just reading this book taught me how to write better dialogue."
- New York Times bestseller Chelsea Cain, author of Heartsick, Mockingbird, and Gone
"Witty, sinister, and smart as hell. ...a hot, bloody, socially conscious riot with a Black, Latinx, lesbian, atheist protagonist at the heart of it, and a book within itself that may eat your mind."
-Charles Austin Muir, author of This is a Horror Book
"Read this book twice -- once for the fantastical tale and once for the deeper observations."

SuperGuy
by
Kurt Clopton
Superheroes are common in Oliver’s world. He doesn’t pay them much attention since he’s just trying to survive his city government internship. Then he mistakenly takes the super serum the Milwaukee mayor wrote into the budget to help his slumping re-election campaign. Now Oliver is dealing with an annoyed police chief, a surging crime wave, paparazzi, a super villain, a bit of romance, and the creepy ladies of the Milwaukee Flower and Garden Society. If Oliver can survive the very tight suit and getting thrown through the occasional wall, he might just have time to stop the bad guy from enslaving the world.
No biggie.
“SuperGuy may be a low-budget superhero, but his story doesn't skimp on laughs; a super-powered workplace comedy.”

By Benjamin Gorman
Joe has been cursed. He must meet with Yahweh, the Creator, once a week for coffee and listen to God complain. Yahweh is a crotchety old deity with a pantheon of family problems. His wife, Frigga, has basically stopped talking to Him, except to keep nagging Him about retiring. His son, Jesus, suffers from crippling depression. Jesus’ estranged wife is plotting a terrorist attack to try to start a holy war. God is fed up with all the drama. He's perfectly tired and infinitely irritable.
Though God doesn’t seem to care about human problems, Joe’s little, mortal life isn’t perfect, either. In fact, it's a comedy as black as God’s coffee. God doesn’t seem too interested in human problems, but Joe’s little, mortal life isn’t perfect, either. In fact, Joe’s life is a comedy as black as God’s coffee.
