Book excerpt: No one steps up to life’s banquet, holds out her tray, and orders, “Grief, please!” But as a child, Candy Pekkala was served a heaping helping of it. Every buffet line has a dessert section, however, and when a cousin calls with a Hollywood apartment to sublet, it seems as though Candy is finally offered something sweet. It’s good-bye to Minnesota and hello to California, where a girl who has always lived by her wits has a real chance of making a living with them. With that, the irrepressible Lorna Landvik launches her latest irresistible character onto the world stage—or at least onto the dimly lit small stage where stand-up comedy gets its start. Herself a comic performer, Landvik taps her own adventurous past and Minnesota roots to conjure Candy’s life in this strange new Technicolor home. Her fellow tenants at Peyton Hall include a female bodybuilder, a ruined nightclub impresario, and a well-connected Romanian fortune-teller. There are game show appearances and temp jobs at a record company and an establishment suspiciously like the Playboy Mansion, and of course the alluring but not always welcoming stage of stand-up comedy. As she hones her act, Candy is tested by humiliation, hecklers, and the inherent sexism that insists “chicks aren’t funny.” Written with the light touch and quiet wisdom that have made her works so popular, this is classic Lorna Landvik—sometimes so funny, you’ll cry; sometimes so sad, you might as well laugh; and always impossible to put down.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an auxiliary of my Ministry of Laughter and to that end, it is my privilege and appointed duty to sprinkle as much laughter into the world until a psych squad scraps me down and hauls me away kicking and laughing. Laughter can save you from danger. It's true! I once made a street robber laugh so hard that he left me along and robbed my grandmother standing next to me. But granny wasn't one to hold a grudge. Instead of staying angry with me, she later asked me to teach her some one-liners. However, I discovered, years later after she died, that I was the only family member not in her will. Humor has been known to revive dying parties, bring people out of depression, and even restore health. Humor should be shared. What is the benefit of knowing a good joke or funny poem and get anal retentive with it? Not only will you enjoy the easy to remember poems alone but you can share a favorite selection before a boring meeting begins, share with a hospitalized friend, or at a party setting because a good laugh is always welcome. After you purchase this book, the next time you're in the mood for cheer sit down and flip through a few pages, you'll be glad you did... is my prayer.
