Do you dare to question what's real, who's in charge-and what they're willing to sacrifice to stay there?
This story delivers sharp commentary and strange bedfellows: sophisticated internationalists, drone pilots in bunny slippers, assassins on banana seat bikes, and network news anchors with God complexes. In a world where truth is stranger than fiction and ambition knows no bounds, this razor-sharp novel skewers everything from politics to morality, leaving no stone unturned. Imagine 1984, but with a whoopee cushion.
Think Fargo meets Fight Club, with a dash of Bad Monkey and a side of Dexter.
Primary Tropes: Hero's Journey, High Action, High Stakes, The Double-Cross, Set in the Modern Day, Set in a Small Town, No Otherworldly Elements, The Mentor, The Reluctant Hero, Paying the Price, Social and Political Turmoil, Combining Real and Fictional Events, Outsmarting the Criminal, Twist Ending, The Insurmountable Odds, The Cliffhanger
________________________
Meet Leroy O'Malley of Apalachicola, Florida: a naive and hopeful dreamer. All Leroy wanted was a shot at the good life-a steady job, maybe even a dental plan. This is the story of a man who made the mistake of believing the lies.
Always down on his luck, a chance encounter with a foul-mouthed - though oddly charismatic - out-of-towner at a roadside oyster shack suddenly launches Leroy on the fast-track to the life he's always wanted. But as the stakes rise, he finds himself swept into a tangled mess of black ops, corrupt officials, and media puppeteers who see him as the perfect fall guy. He thought he was chasing purpose and a 401K plan-until purpose chased him back with a surgical saw and an igloo cooler.
Will he choose himself or America? The only way to find out is to dive into The Willing Fool episodic series.
Certain to be loved by fans of Carl Hiaasen, Chuck Palahniuk, Christopher Moore, Christopher Buckley, Richard Condo, as well as classical satirists.
