"This is one of the most clever, entertaining, and hilarious books I've ever read." -Joe Siple, bestselling author of The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride
Some genres were never meant to cross.
Joe Slade is a detective with a hot lead and a warm gun. He no longer believes in happy-ever-afters, but his faith in plot twists is devout. Good thing.
He is about to discover the biggest twist of all.
Joe Slade is not real.
He is a character in a series of mystery novels. And when he discovers all his pain has been in the name of book sales, there will be hell to pay. Vowing revenge on his author, he will set off for the World Where the Books Are Written. The road will take him through genres foreign and treacherous: High Fantasy, Bodice-Ripping Romance, Intergalactic Sci-Fi, and others even more awful and terrifying.
But what if this new life is about more than just living? And will Joe still come out on top when all the rules have changed?
"This book has everything you could want - swords and sorcery, noir detectives, space opera and let’s not forget zombies! It is a wonderful romp you have to read to believe." (Amazon Reviewer)
"I went into this book expecting something like Jasper Fforde's books, and while there is some similarity in the premises, this was totally unique in the execution. And even though it seems like an adventure based on following the rules of story structure and using various tropes of fiction would be predictable, I was never able to guess where this one was going next." (Amazon Reviewer)
