The Sensationally Absurd Life and Times of Slim Dyson

Welcome, folks. Today's a big day here at ABftS. We're proud to announce the release of our newest collaborative novel, "The Sensationally Absurd Life and Times of Slim Dyson." It's our third humor novel, and the very first without any sort of paranormal elements. Unless you count extreme delusion and optimism as paranormal behavior. Here's the book cover...

The Sensationally Absurd Life and Times of Slim Dyson

As those of you who have followed the early chapters of the story we've posted here know, the hero of the story is a homeless writer who accidentally finds fame and fortune. Here's the story synopsis:

"Slim Dyson is a man about town. He's an artistically inclined urbanite, a ladies man, and a social butterfly. The only problem is that he's homeless. Well, he doesn't have a problem with that. In fact he doesn't have any problems at all, because Slim Dyson is the most optimistic man alive. In fact, his optimism borders on delusion. And when he accidentally becomes catapulted into fame and fortune, Slim finds himself thrust into a world where honesty and optimism come to die: Hollywood.

The life of luxury is foreign to a man who would rather sleep on a shelter cot. Will Hollywood change Slim? Can even the purest heart survive the washing machine of Fame without fading? And what's the point of a toilet that shoots water up your butt, anyway?"



Now, like all our other novels, this story is available as an e-Book exclusive, sold through Amazon. But, that doesn't mean you have to have a Kindle to read it! For those without Kindles, fret not, because you can still read this book on your computer. On the right hand side of the page we linked above, click the link that says 'Available on your PC,' right below where you Buy.

From here, you'll be directed to a page where you can download the Kindle program for your computer. Just download, install, and register (it's free), and from there, if you buy our book, Amazon will send it to your computer, rather than to a Kindle.

If not, you can also just read it on your web browser straight through Amazon.com.

Buy it here.

Also, as a reminder, we'll be holding our Party Like Slim Dyson contest on Thursday, where you the reader will help us by voting on who threw the best homeless party. The winner will become immortalized on the blog and get a signed copy of our unreleased novella manuscript, Lost and Found. Be sure and check it out. We have some killer entries.

Lastly, both of us just want to stop and say thank you to all of you in the blogging community. Whether you're a blogger or a reader, whether this is your first visit or your thousandth, it's your support that gives us the ability to do what we love, and that's write. We might not sell out join the ranks of Slim Dyson and score an $8 million dollar movie deal, but as long as we can bring you high quality writing, high quality humor, and high quality entertainment, we're going to keep doing it. So thank you, truly, because you've helped us shape our writing into what it is today. We wouldn't be the writers we are without you.

Cheers,
B&B
