Discovering yourself, in quarantine?


Has all the forced "You Time" brought about any self-revelation? Are you finally, legitimately, the Coolest Person In The Room?

Some don't have it that good. You owe it to yourself, to LAUGH AT THEM. Yep. And here is that gateway to hilarity. And thrills. And Suspense. 

Don't worry, nobody's watching.

Meet hitmen Mike & Larry, the Abbott & Costello of death. Meet Carla, the transgender steakhouse waitress with a guardian angel complex. Meet Cleedus, the cocaine cowboy still super-quick on the draw, but playing dumb. Meet Dave, the former horrorhost with a coffin full of secrets. Meet Desteen, the modern MexTex Patsy Cline suffering severe depression. Meet Roy, the 400 lb. Elvis impersonator who hates anyone with actual talent. Meet Joey, God's gift to humanity who craps his pants intentionally. And finally meet Oliver, the former worst stand-up comedian in Hollywood, whom this nightmarish world revolves around, no matter how hard he tries to scoot out of the center spot. You'll scare yourself with laughter.
"Funny, quick and enjoyable read with belly laughs galore." — Erin, a review on Goodreads.com

Oliver Akers thought he was the worst stand-up comic in Hollywood. That is until he saw the act of a guy named Joey Lou Dillerbacher… along with the rest of the Dillerbacher showbiz clan. It only gnawed at him more, that they got gigs despite being awful. Gig after gig after gig – they are so under-talented and over-rewarded, they'd p.o. the Pope. Even worse, Oliver suddenly finds himself on a relentless loop crossing their path! On a multi-state road trip yet. With his own career going south fast, Oliver must somehow pull his funny out of freefall to survive, physically and emotionally – especially when he stumbles onto the secret side mission of these horrible, but well-connected, performers, and becomes one of their targets.
