I just know that whenever Sahara Kelly is around, I just want to pull up a chair and hang out for as long as she’ll let me (or until the authorities arrive to haul me away!) “Showing Off“ has hit the e-stands and I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard in a long time.

Ellis WeinerAtlas Slugged AGAIN by Ellis Weiner is a humorous parody of the famous Atlas Shrugged novel. When we asked Ellis on Canned Laughter and Coffee why he does parodies he called it “Commando literary criticism” and he meant it. The author’s other works are also of a humorous nature which is not surprising given the fact that he wrote for National Lampoon and is a fan of Mad Magazine (aren’t we all?!!).  Join us as Ellis talks about learning to okay with hating novels he was assigned in high school and other funny tidbits.
Also find out what happened to host extraordinaire Renee Bernard that caused guest host Sheila English to insist on pictures or souvenirs!  It will shock you! Okay, that’s a lie, we just said that so you’d listen in and make fun of Renee with us. Still! The show is fun, funny and entertaining so you should listen anyway.

Check out the podcast, feel free to leave comments or questions and as an added bonus, as promised on the show, we giving you detailed instructions on how to access this funny (and shockingly inexpensive) novel. You can find it on Smashwords!

The show had an amazing number of people in the chat session! Right as we were getting ready to say our goodbyes, Nini, from the chat room asked, “What advice would you give on writing?”

So, as promised, Nini, here’s the answer from Juliana:

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of surrounding myself with an amazing group of supportive women.  I think because writing can be very lonely and isolating, it’s good to have those people in your corner to push you when you need it.  That would be my advice…surround yourself with like-minded people who share your goals.
