Florida Woman Crowned 2025 American Laughing Champion

 

Hits the Floor in Historic ROFL Win — Vows to Make America Laugh Again

NEW YORK — Bobbi Gould, a digital nomad and self-described “laughlete” from Key West, Florida, has been crowned the 2025 American Laughing Champion — and she didn’t just laugh her way to the top. She ROFLED there.

“I’ve spent my life being told I smile too much,” she laughed. “It finally paid off.”

Gould literally rolled on the floor laughing, sealing her victory at the 10th Annual American Laughing Championship — a unique online event where competitors giggle, chortle, and snort their way through a series of outrageous challenges to claim the title of the nation’s most contagious laugh.

A longtime pioneer of joyful living, Gould blends high-vibe humor with social activism. Her latest project, Joy Walking, mixes laughter exercises with intentionally ridiculous public strolls.

This year’s competition tested participants with laugh-offs, snort-offs, and other absurd feats of hilarity. But it was Gould’s unfiltered authenticity, boundless energy, and total physical surrender to laughter that won over the judges — and earned her a spot at the World Laughing Championship on September 20, 2025.

“The World Laughing Championship is shaping up to be the best — and most hilarious — yet,” said Albert Nerenberg, Laughologist and founder of the global laughing championship movement.

For the record: ROFL — “Rolling on the Floor Laughing” — is no longer just an internet meme. It’s a championship-winning strategy.

Gould is on a mission to ignite joy and spark resistance through laughter.

“Laughter isn’t escape,” she said. “It’s resistance. I’m here to Make America Laugh Again.”

Gould and Nerenberg are available for interviews. Courses@Elevatorfilms.com

Barry Leonardini Launches A New Book Offering Bold, Satirical Take on Biblical History

 

Author Barry Leonardini challenges traditional Christian narratives with his provocative, satirical novel Jesus and Peter, an imaginative retelling of Christ and the early church that explores power, faith, and humanity.

Barry Leonardini, a visionary author with a sharp wit and fearless voice, announces the release of his latest novel, Jesus and Peter: A Different View of Christ and His Catholic Church. This daring and thought-provoking work reimagines biblical history by portraying Jesus and Peter in an entirely new light — as characters entangled in ambition, marketing, and religious spectacle. Available now through major online retailers, Jesus and Peter offers readers a clever and irreverent twist on the foundations of Christian tradition.

Jesus and Peter takes readers on a lively, cinematic journey into the backrooms of first-century Jerusalem, where religious movements are shaped as much by human vanity and strategy as by faith. Leonardini uses satire and historical imagination to explore Jesus and Peter as complex figures with flaws, aspirations, and interpersonal conflicts, echoing the moral questions facing humanity today. Throughout the novel, readers will recognize characters like Pontius Pilate and John the Baptist in humorous, often cynical circumstances. Leonardini invites readers to reconsider the myths that have shaped our collective consciousness — and to enjoy the sharp dialogues and richly textured scenes that make this reimagining so engaging.

“My goal in writing this book was to hold a mirror up to one of the most powerful myths in history,” Leonardini explains. “By mixing humor, irreverence, and careful research, I want readers to question what they take for granted about religion, power, and the nature of leadership. Jesus and Peter is as much a story about the business of belief as it is a satire of our desire to follow someone who promises salvation. I’m hoping readers walk away challenged — and thoroughly entertained.” Leonardini also notes that his work is meant to spark thought rather than offend, presenting a lively portrait of how myths can grow into traditions and, eventually, empires.

About the Author

Barry Leonardini is a bold new voice in literary satire. Drawing on a background in theology, history, and theater, Leonardini crafts stories that expose the humor and humanity behind sacred traditions. He blends sharp insight with wit to reimagine well-known narratives, encouraging readers to explore them with fresh eyes. Jesus and Peter is his most provocative work yet — one that reflects his fascination with religion, power, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of the world. Leonardini currently resides in California, where he continues to explore new literary frontiers that challenge convention and provoke conversation.

A Dust Story by Paul F. Rodney Launches to Inspire Young Readers With a Fantastical Tale of Faith and Imagination

 

A genre-blending spiritual adventure for young minds, A Dust Story uses fantasy, faith, and satire to illuminate deeper truths about love, sacrifice, and eternity.

A Dust Story, the newest release from author Paul F. Rodney, is now available through online book retailers. Aimed at children and young adults, this imaginative journey whisks two brothers from a dusty sunbeam into a fantastical world called Abaq, where they are transformed—both physically and spiritually. This tale, rich with allegory and layered themes, offers readers a faith-rooted, thought-provoking escape into a universe where dust hides entire civilizations and divine purpose directs the heart of adventure.

At first glance, A Dust Story appears to be a whimsical fantasy about two boys, Christhony and Antian, who find themselves shrunken and swept into a dust particle. But as the story unfolds, it dives deep into themes of love, divine purpose, cultural satire, and the battle between grace and rebellion. Traveling across the alien world of Abaq, the brothers encounter creatures called the Zoan and Anashim, where they’re given a divine mission by “The Yown,” a mysterious being who ultimately reveals Himself as the Holy Spirit. Through this mission, they spread warmth—both literal and spiritual—across a frozen world once ruled by hatred and confusion.

Rodney blends classic storytelling with theological insight, using satire and surrealism to mirror human behaviors and spiritual conflicts. Children will enjoy the vibrant imagery and creative creatures, while adult readers will appreciate the biting commentary and moral depth. From a museum tour mocking ancient faith to the transformation of multi-headed beings into creations of love, A Dust Story cleverly combines humor and doctrine. As the boys serve, sacrifice, and grow in their understanding of God's love, readers are left considering the eternal impact of grace, redemption, and truth in their own lives.

“A Dust Story was written to inspire not just imagination but transformation,” says author Paul F. Rodney. “The characters experience a divine adventure, and I hope readers, especially younger ones, realize that their own lives can reflect truth, hope, and change—even in the most unlikely moments. The story invites us all to stare at something as simple as dust and ask deeper questions about eternity.” Rodney’s passion for connecting Scripture to creative storytelling fuels every page, with subtle nods to biblical truths woven throughout the narrative.

A Dust Story is now available for purchase. Readers can find the book through major online retailers. Ideal for families, youth groups, homeschoolers, and Sunday school libraries, the book serves as a unique tool for spiritual growth and discussion.

About the Author:
Paul F. Rodney is a storyteller with a mission to illuminate eternal truths through accessible, creative fiction. Rooted in Christian theology and deeply imaginative, his writing bridges the worlds of children’s literature and spiritual insight. A Dust Story is his debut novel, reflecting his lifelong love for Scripture, science fiction, and allegorical parables. Rodney is passionate about helping readers of all ages grasp the beauty of God’s love in even the dustiest corners of life.

3x3: The Singular Scribblings of an Uneasy Mind Offers Unflinching Vignettes from the Margins of Thought and Experience

 

A bold and emotionally piercing collection of short stories from Neal Neamand delves deep into themes of alienation, transformation, and the darker corners of human desire.

LOS ANGELES, CA — Paper Wrights, LLC announces the release of 3x3: The Singular Scribblings of an Uneasy Mind, a provocative and stylistically daring collection of short fiction by Neal Neamand. The book, released under the Red Boots imprint, confronts the reader with nine haunting stories organized in three thematic trios—each probing into psychological landscapes rarely explored in mainstream literary fiction.

In this genre-bending compilation, Neamand casts his net over characters in existential flux—whether it’s a blossoming adolescent girl contending with male gaze and loss in “Old Mr. Springer,” a man descending into obsession and madness in “Black as Crows,” or the fractured nostalgia of a dislocated farmer in “The Green, Green Grass of Home.” Every story brims with potent imagery, lyrical prose, and disturbing emotional undercurrents.

The collection opens with a personal reflection titled “Some Thoughts by Way of Introduction,” where Neamand candidly recounts his struggles with rejection, the aspirations of a fledgling writer, and his eventual turn to the short story format. This introspective lens offers readers a glimpse into the origin of these tales, positioning them not as polished gems of traditional publishing but as raw, hand-wrought artifacts of introspection and defiance.

Each section of the book—titled “Sad Day in the Morning,” “Boys and Girls, Men and Women,” and “What Did You Expect?”—unfolds with its own emotional and thematic resonance. The stories are textured with gothic realism and psychological complexity, inviting readers to reckon with the discomfort of unresolved trauma, twisted justice, and blurred morality.

“Neamand’s prose is daring in its candor,” said a representative from Paper Wrights. “This isn’t literature designed to soothe or reassure; it is meant to stir, provoke, and linger long after the final page is turned.”

Despite their apparent grit, the stories exhibit meticulous narrative craftsmanship. Neamand’s attention to detail, his skill in rendering the interior lives of his characters, and his commitment to authenticity set this collection apart from conventional short fiction anthologies.

While 3x3 may challenge readers with its darker themes, it also offers a mirror to the human condition—a deeply personal and at times painful examination of life’s silent battles. These stories do not shy away from the grotesque or the tragic, and therein lies their unsettling power.

About the Author
Neal Neamand is a lifelong writer whose words have accumulated around him like “snow drifts in winter,” as he describes in his introduction. With decades of writing, reflection, and rejected manuscripts behind him, Neamand brings a fearless honesty to his storytelling. 3x3: The Singular Scribblings of an Uneasy Mind represents his first published collection, crafted not for mass approval but for emotional truth. He invites readers not to admire, but to experience—and perhaps to be unnerved.

Alecia Hill Announces the Release of Empowering New Memoir “Lost in the Shadows”

 

A moving new memoir offers hope, healing, and spiritual strength for those overcoming trauma and emotional adversity.

Acclaimed author and speaker Alecia Hill has released her latest memoir, Lost in the Shadows: Finding Strength in the Depth of Adversity, a deeply personal and inspiring account of resilience, restoration, and unwavering faith in the face of life’s greatest challenges.

With raw honesty and spiritual insight, Hill’s new book invites readers into her lived experience of grief, rejection, and trauma—and shows how those very shadows became the foundation of her strength.

In Lost in the Shadows, Hill recounts her journey through profound emotional trials with the kind of transparency that invites connection and courage. Each chapter reflects the stages of her transformation, blending personal narrative with practical encouragement and spiritual guidance. Hill explores the silent battles many face—loss of identity, abandonment, depression—and offers a pathway out of despair through faith, community, and inner strength.

“Too many people suffer in silence, believing their pain is too deep or too ugly to be understood,” says Hill. “I wrote this book to reach those hearts—to let them know that they are not alone. There is healing after heartbreak, and there is purpose beyond the pain. My story isn’t perfect, but it’s proof that light does break through.”

With its heartfelt message and spiritual foundation, Lost in the Shadows is already resonating with readers across backgrounds. The book speaks directly to those facing emotional hardship—whether due to childhood wounds, broken relationships, or personal failures—and offers a roadmap toward peace, clarity, and renewal. Hill’s voice is one of grace and truth, reaching beyond the pages to comfort, challenge, and inspire.

Early readers have praised Hill’s candid storytelling, calling the book “an emotional breakthrough,” “a lifeline,” and “a guide for anyone navigating grief or healing.” Through each chapter, she gently leads the reader from a place of survival to a place of purpose.

Lost in the Shadows: Finding Strength in the Depth of Adversity is available now on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats.
