and now I'm gonna try and peddle it to some literary agents.

Wish me luck!

You can read the first chapter here for FREE:

I'm probably gonna post some more excerpts later, but for now, here's another one from my first book:


“What is this?” I finally asked.

“Chicken Cordon Bleu and my special sauce.”

Her special sauce was to die for, and I told her that, but like usual, she disagreed.

“Die for?” she said, and then laughed, “This’ll bring you back to life.”

“How would that even work?” I asked and took four big bites.

She went on and on about just how horrible a job it’d be, ending with, “Of course, the salted crackers are optional.”

“I don’t think that would work at all, even with the salted crackers,” I countered, and then asked, “Why do you have to put toilet paper up your butt again?”

“I never said I had to put toilet paper up my butt,” she laughed, and that got us going round and round again until our Halloween Patrol.

What we did after that is none of your damn business...
