Anyone who would put the idiot Brother Simon in charge of a murder investigation is either one chant short of a plainsong or is up to something. When Brother Hermitage, innocent in every way, including bystanding, is lined up for execution, he begins to wonder if something might be going on.

New York never learned to whisper. It shouts, sings, honks, and argues its way through four centuries of chaos, creativity, and contradiction.

Lower Your Expectations (and Other Life Skills) is a hilariously honest look at modern adulthood, written for anyone who’s tired of pretending life is supposed to be neat, balanced, or filtered. In this sharply funny and deeply relatable collection, Montana-based author and humorist Katie Simpson takes listeners on a joyride through everyday chaos—laundry mountains, social-media meltdowns, bad customer service, family drama, and the occasional menopausal moment of rage.

What if the thing you crave most… was never food at all? Fast food is not just a convenience. It’s not just a guilty pleasure. It’s a chemically engineered system. Designed in labs, tested on brains, and built to override your biology. You’re not weak. You’re wired.

JJ tears the wrapper off the billion-dollar industry that sells addiction by the combo meal. This is not a diet book. This is not a cleanse.

And let’s not forget Yellowstone, where bears once begged for marshmallows and tourists still try to pet bison.
