Our take
Comedian Maria Bamford has joined every cult, class, and program in search of belonging.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Maria Bamford has tried everything to belong. Twelve-step programs, self-help seminars, even a Richard Simmons workout or two. Nothing has quite worked, but it has made for one hell of a story.
In Sure, I’ll Join Your Cult, the beloved comedian and mental health advocate turns her sharp, fearless humor inward. From childhood struggles and psychiatric hospitalization to the strange joys of show business, Bamford finds laughter in the moments most people hide.
Through honesty, absurdity, and heart, she explores what it means to live with mental illness while still believing in hope, connection, and fudge recipes.
Maria Bamford’s memoir is brutally funny, deeply human, and proof that finding your people sometimes starts with laughing at yourself.

Our take

Choose your retailer
About the book
Life has been found beneath the icy shell of the moon of a gas giant orbiting a red dwarf at a distance of 11 light-years from Earth. When the crew of the original exploration mission crashes on the alien moon, a rescue ship is launched. Arriving decades later, the crew of the Kelvin finds a colony of survivors living in the labyrinth of caves beneath the surface of the moon. When people start dying, they realize they need to unravel the secrets of this alien world and the mystery of the minotaur.
The Minotaur is a tribute to the 1961 classic Solaris, written by Stanislaw Lem, and considers the psychological impact of examining an exotic alien life form unlike anything ever encountered on Earth.
FIRST CONTACT is a series of stand-alone novels that explore humanity's first interaction with extraterrestrial life. This series is similar to BLACK MIRROR or THE TWILIGHT ZONE in that the series is based on a common theme rather than common characters. This allows these books to be read in any order. Technically, they're all first as they all deal with how we might initially respond to contact with aliens, exploring the social, political, religious, and scientific aspects of First Contact.
Peter Cawdron is a fan of such classic science fiction writers as Philip K. Dick, Arthur C. Clarke and Michael Crichton and their influence on his style and storylines is readily apparent. His forays into hard science fiction could best be described as informative science fiction or enjoyable science fiction. They focus on character and plausibility.
