WAHOO! NEW BOOK!

Recut Madness: Favorite Movies Retold for Your Partisan Pleasure will be published in May 2007 by Thunders Mouth Press. In these days of bitter political division in America, it’s good to know we can all rally round something uplifting, like this satirical collection of rewritten film scenes.



My other books, unfortunately, are currently out of print. You can hunt down used copies on Amazon. If there’s ever any news of them coming back, I’ll let you know. Oh boy, will I let everyone know.

 

POLITICALLY CORRECT BEDTIME STORIES

This is the one that started it all. After 30 rejections from publishers large and small, Macmillan took a chance on me and ended up with a hit that stayed on the New York Times best-seller list for 65 weeks. This led to two sequels, calendars, a CD-ROM, and a lot of fruitless pitch meetings in Hollywood. But I ain't complaining.

“It is beautiful. It demolishes, in few but elegant words, a dozen kinds of silliness. It is better than I can possibly convey.”
The Times of London

“Only the dullest—I mean humorously challenged—of people won’t have a good time with this book.”
Los Angeles Daily News

Notable Book of the Year: New York Times, Washington Post, London Observer

ONCE UPON A MORE ENLIGHTENED TIME

The success of PCBS made me realize that many other "classic" children's stories contained objectionable material as well, and that people would pay good money to read my sanitized versions. Whether one or the other of those realizations was more compelling, I'll let history decide.

“The laughs start coming and don’t stop until the "Sleeping Persun of Better-Than-Average Attractiveness" awakens from her “deep meditative state.”
San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle

POLITICALLY CORRECT HOLIDAY STORIES

And what genre of literature contains more outdated propaganda than the stories told at winter solstice? (If you don't get the joke by now, you're beyond hope.)

“If laughter is the best medicine, this book is a miracle cure.”
Baton Rouge Sunday Advocate

APOCALYPSE WOW!

Back in the halcyon days of the late 1990s, many people (though not as many as I'd've liked, reader-wise) believed that the year 2000 held a special foreboding for mankind. Some believed it would bring about the end of the world, or at least functioning ATM machines. Apocalypse Wow! is my attempt to uncover the truth about the end of time and what people can do to help bring it about.

"Smart, delightful, and well-researched from, well, Beginning to End."
Dereck Matthew Daschke, Truman State University

"This is the way the world ends: not with a bang, but a giggle."
Boston Herald

This availability situation only applies in the United States. Some of these titles are still in print in other countries, and I receive requests for new foreign editions regularly. It's impossible for me to keep up with the status of foreign editions, so check with your local bookseller.
