ABOUT THE BOOK: After moving from Washington, DC, to the Jersey Shore, a former speechwriter for President Obama starts surfing at the age of thirty-five—the rough equivalent of beginning guitar lessons on your deathbed—and must turn for help to the only other surfer he knows: a tattooed, truck-driving, Joe Rogan superfan who happens to be his brother-in-law. David Litt, the Yale-educated writer with a sensible fear of sharks, and Matt, the daredevil electrician with two motorcycles and a passion for death metal, had always coexisted from a comfortable distance as brothers-in-law. Yet in 2021, as David wallowed in existential dread while America’s crises piled up, he couldn’t help but notice that Matt was thriving. When he wasn’t making money rewiring New Jersey beach homes, Matt was riding waves at his favorite spots in the state. AUTHOR BIO: David Litt is the New York Times bestselling author of Thanks, Obama; Democracy in One Book or Less; and It’s Only Drowning. A former senior speechwriter for Barack Obama, described as “the comic muse for the president” for his work on the White House Correspondents’ Dinner monologues, he has also written for The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Cosmopolitan, and more. Along with writing speeches and jokes for political figures, athletes, Fortune 500 CEOs, and philanthropists, David was the head writer/producer at Funny Or Die, DC, and has written and sold comedy pilots for Comedy Central, ABC, and NBC. Raised in New York, he and his wife now split their time between Washington DC, and Asbury Park, New Jersey. Find out more at DavidLittBooks.com. BOOK REVIEWS: “David Litt has written a surfing memoir that’s about so much more than surfing. It's an insightful, hilarious, surprisingly moving story about the nature of friendship and the search for common ground, and I loved it.” —JUDD APATOW, New York Times bestselling author of Sick in the Head “Reading It’s Only Drowning feels like those early mornings paddling out into an unpredictable swell—you don’t know what’s coming, but you feel alive just being out there. David's book is not just a surfing memoir — it's about the connections that keep us going.” —LAIRD HAMILTON, legendary big-wave surfer and author of Force of Nature Information Source: Asbury Book Cooperative | eventbrite

The $5 event ticket reserves your seat. You will receive a $5 coupon upon arrival at the store that you can use for a purchase that night! Walk-ins to this event are welcome but space is limited. To preorder a copy of the book CLICK HERE ! Hope to see you in the shop! ABOUT THE BOOK: Many novels set in the world of rock music depict stardom, debauchery and deceit. KING CAL instead focuses on the creative process, the devotion required to choose an uncertain life in music, the inspiration for songwriting and the challenge of making the rent while making art. In the course of one ordinary day, Atlanta fast food worker Calvin loses his girlfriend, his band and his best friend. Suddenly, everything he had planned to spend the rest of his life doing seems to have flown away. Told with insight, sensitivity and deep respect for what it really takes to make a life in music, King Cal is a coming-of-age novel about a determined young man who starts with little, aims to earn a little more and has to decide whether success, or even clinging to his dream, is worth the sacrifice. AUTHOR BIO: Peter McDade spent fifteen years traveling the highways of America as the drummer in the rock bands Uncle Green and 3 lb. Thrill, releasing a half-dozen albums on various major and independent labels. Raised in New Jersey, he now lives with his family in Atlanta, where he teaches at Clark Atlanta University. King Cal is his third novel. BOOK REVIEWS: “Having lived through my own musical coming-of-age, I’m often dismayed by just how wrong most music-themed books get it. Not King Cal. This is one of the few novels about music that has felt utterly real to me. As the book wound its way to a deeply moving end, I was both desperately hoping that it would all work out for Calvin, our unlikely hero; and at the same time thanking Pete McDade for getting it so right.” —Dan Wilson, Grammy-winning singer (Semisonic) and songwriter ("Closing Time”) “Peter McDade’s new novel is a compelling exploration of friendship, identity and the healing power of music. Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, McDade’s masterful novel follows Calvin through the course of a single day as he struggles to find the courage to face his fears and redefine his world and goals or lose everything he holds dear.” —Christy Alexander Hallberg, author of Searching for Jimmy Page, host of Rock Is Lit podcast “Peter McDade has a remarkable ability to turn songs into characters. His writing shows how music and lyrics come to life through collaborations, solitude, tension, and inspiration. King Cal evocatively captures the challenges of music in the digital age, where a hit can go viral and change everything.” —Ravi Howard, author of Driving the King and Like Trees, Walking “King Cal perfectly captures the life of a young musician navigating the challenges of relationships and pursuing his dreams. It’s engaging, funny and highly relatable, offering authentic glimpses into the mind of a songwriter.” —Lindsay Murray (recording artist Gretchen’s Wheel) Information Source: Asbury Book Cooperative | eventbrite

ABOUT THE BOOK: After moving from Washington, DC, to the Jersey Shore, a former speechwriter for President Obama starts surfing at the age of thirty-five—the rough equivalent of beginning guitar lessons on your deathbed—and must turn for help to the only other surfer he knows: a tattooed, truck-driving, Joe Rogan superfan who happens to be his brother-in-law. David Litt, the Yale-educated writer with a sensible fear of sharks, and Matt, the daredevil electrician with two motorcycles and a passion for death metal, had always coexisted from a comfortable distance as brothers-in-law. Yet in 2021, as David wallowed in existential dread while America’s crises piled up, he couldn’t help but notice that Matt was thriving. When he wasn’t making money rewiring New Jersey beach homes, Matt was riding waves at his favorite spots in the state. AUTHOR BIO: David Litt is the New York Times bestselling author of Thanks, Obama; Democracy in One Book or Less; and It’s Only Drowning. A former senior speechwriter for Barack Obama, described as “the comic muse for the president” for his work on the White House Correspondents’ Dinner monologues, he has also written for The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Cosmopolitan, and more. Along with writing speeches and jokes for political figures, athletes, Fortune 500 CEOs, and philanthropists, David was the head writer/producer at Funny Or Die, DC, and has written and sold comedy pilots for Comedy Central, ABC, and NBC. Raised in New York, he and his wife now split their time between Washington DC, and Asbury Park, New Jersey. Find out more at DavidLittBooks.com. BOOK REVIEWS: “David Litt has written a surfing memoir that’s about so much more than surfing. It's an insightful, hilarious, surprisingly moving story about the nature of friendship and the search for common ground, and I loved it.” —JUDD APATOW, New York Times bestselling author of Sick in the Head “Reading It’s Only Drowning feels like those early mornings paddling out into an unpredictable swell—you don’t know what’s coming, but you feel alive just being out there. David's book is not just a surfing memoir — it's about the connections that keep us going.” —LAIRD HAMILTON, legendary big-wave surfer and author of Force of Nature Information Source: Asbury Book Cooperative | eventbrite
