EXCITING, EXHAUSTING, SWEATY & EXHILARATING

Well, it's been nearly a year and here we find ourselves again. I wrote another book. And for some reason, the algorithm that Amazon uses to run the world has brought you here to join me. You probably inadvertently said something like "latest side-splittingly funny romantic comedy from an up-and-coming author" around your Alexa and now we've been brought together. Seems like fate, right? Y'know what else seems like fate? That likeable characters in humorous romance novels will end up finding true love after a series of zany hijinks and capers. Let's not kid ourselves; all of these books turn out the same. That's why we read them, right? Or do they always have to turn out the same? Maybe, just maybe this will be the one that will turn everything you know on its head. Maybe there will be terrorist threats and terminal illnesses. Maybe the sassy leading lady will turn out to actually be kind of a bitch and you won't want her to marry her Prince Charming. Only one way to find out, really. Buy the book already and you'll meet our plucky heroine Libby who thinks she knows just what she needs in her life, but does she? Of course not, or we wouldn't be having this discussion. Libby Gallagher has faced many of the same trials and tribulations as have so many of her fellow millennials and has finally seemed to have actually overcome them. She's a successful lawyer, she owns her own home and she's been hooking up with a very charming and ambitious attorney at her firm. Libby is bright, talented, hard-working and funny. In fact, Libby seems to be on the cusp of upper middle-class suburban bliss. What's missing, you ask? Why, musical theater, of course. In spite of all that is right in her world, Libby still can't salve the sting of having been kicked out of the musical at her high school when she was a senior. It was really messed up. Don't even get me started. Suffice it to say, there was a little too much drama in the drama department that year. Fast forward 15 years and our steadfast protagonist still hasn't successfully scratched that itch. Will Libby finally get a chance to shine in the spotlight? Will she find true love with her colleague at the law firm? Will cold fusion solve the world's quest for a reliable and non-polluting source of energy, wholly independent of fossil fuels? Beats me. But I haven't read the book. Don't make the same mistake I did. This is a story that needs to be told. What have you got to lose? Amazon is really good about taking returns. Just tell them that you found the book offensive and they'll send you a QR code that will let you drop the piece of garbage off at your nearest Whole Food store for a full refund. It's foolproof. And on the other hand, you may just find that EXCITING, EXHAUSTING, SWEATY & EXHILARATING is exactly those things, so grab a nice cold drink, curl up with the cat or dog of your choice and read what The Cleveland Press calls "THE FEEL-GOOD HIT OF THE SUMMER." And don't Google "The Cleveland Press." Seriously. They went out of business in the early 1980's, but I did deliver the newspaper for them for three years and I feel like in deference to that fact they would have been likely to have reviewed my book favorably. Give it a shot. All of the cool kids are doing it.
