Book Update
Apr. 10th, 2015 06:35 pmFor the past 10 years, I've had the following conversation:
ME: I wrote a book.
Friend: Oh, what's it about?
Me: well, uh, hmmm......
So, now that I approved the marketing copy for my book...here's the back cover description, which hopefully will answer everyone's questions regarding what my book is about.
"Unable to find work, romantically challenged, and with only her “net buds,” the anonymous members of her TV series fan discussion boards to turn to, Caddy is ready to call it quits. She has the gun her father gave her for protection, but there’s one small problem: she has no idea how to use it.
Fiske, a private investigator who changed his identity from Hispanic to Londoner, complete with a fake British accent, notices Caddy’s nervousness on the subway and confronts her as she’s attempting to end her life.
Hope, an identity thief and embezzler who collects Loony Tunes action figures, is one of Caddy’s net buds, a fellow obsessed fan of the wildly popular TV show Spywitch. She’s also the subject of Fiske’s current investigation.
Dark humor, cynical satire, and quirky characters drive this ultimately uplifting tale reminding us to make the most of our time here on earth."
See? Not easy to describe and sort of off the beaten track. Been a little wary of self-publishing it - because as you can see, it's incredibly irreverent and dark humor.
