Pretty Much Screwed

The author of the hysterical memoirs I’ve Still Got It…I Just Can’t Remember Where I Put It and If It Was Easy, They’d Call the Whole Damn Thing a Honeymoon turns her comedic talents to fiction with a novel about picking yourself up out of the gutter when life kicks you to the curb… For Charlotte Crawford, the worst part about being dumped after twenty years of marriage is that her husband, Jack, doesn’t want another woman; he just doesn’t want her. Forty-two and clueless, Charlotte is a fish out of water in a dating pool teeming with losers. Just when she thinks she’s finally put her failed marriage behind her, it comes back to bite her in the ass...hard. Without warning, Charlotte finds herself staring down the barrel of a future she wouldn’t (she would totally) wish on her worst enemy. Engaging, fearless, and relentlessly funny, Pretty Much Screwed is a story of love, loss, friendship, forgiveness, turtledoves, taxidermy, and one hilariously ill-placed tick.

When womanizer, and possible schizophrenic, John Hazel, is suddenly offered a serious job promotion by David Wall, the CEO of his company, under the condition that John help him kill his wife, John finds himself between a rock and a hard place when Mr. Wall s wife asks John to do the same for her. John has more than enough on his post-traumatic, hyperactive, prurient mind, without something as absurd as this weighing down on him, not to mention that he is haunted well, annoyed more than anything by either the spirits or imaginary spirits of Giovanni Boccaccio, Francois Rabelais and a she-devil named Sabrina. Good thing he s started seeing a shrink, right? His life-long existential crisis, having two hit men on his back, a bad-to-the-bone best friend, and Mr. Wall s manic, sex-crazed, power-hungry mistress certainly do not help matters either.

Syd Sinnerman is the second coming of rock music, dethroning pop and hip-hop with his dark, brooding strain of philosophic rock. But few know the story of his unlikely rise to global superstardom from middle-class India, which is obsessed with academics, or that the very secret of his success is destroying him and no, it isn’t alcohol or drugs. High octane music and the quiet humdrum life of Kolkata brilliantly portrays the inner life of a little boy as he grows up alternately. Can Syd find himself again; can he put his life back together; will he sing again? The God of Sex and Gold and Rock ’n’ Roll, set in Singapore and India, explores what it takes to pursue the dreams we forget when real life hits us.

What is life? Is it how you live it, what you do in the middle, or how you leave it behind? Stacie, sixteen going on forever, never got a chance to find out. Her life, like her childhood, would be cut short by a monster named Crowley. That’s where I come in- though a lifetime too late. I loved Stacie from the start, from the moment I first laid eyes on her in high school. I just never got a chance to see what might have been. My dreams... our dreams, died when Stacie died. For you see, Crowley got there first. If I had to do it all over again, I would have never let her go. I never would have left her behind- I would have slain the monster, rescued the princess and lived happily ever after. If I had to do it all over again...
