Silver medal winner in the dark humor category at the 2024 Global Book Awards!In these dark times, many of us find ourselves trapped with even darker anuses searching for happiness to lighten the dimmest places in our souls. .

. Toby Tenderhill is an ambitious up-and-comer in the high-tech world of Silicon Valley.

His self-centered nature and piss-poor judgment throw his life into a tailspin, leaving him a bewildered and depressed victim of fate’s perverse sense of humor, struggling to reclaim his life as well as the former youthful glow that once blessed his nether regions. In his fruitless struggle to reconstruct the life he so masterfully imploded, it becomes clear he has very little control over the matter.

Eddie, a homeless Vietnam veteran, a new ex-addict girlfriend, and his unexpected new career cajole him into reluctantly examining the illusion of his own personal psyche and foundational belief systems, leaving him on a journey of self-discovery that is, at turns, painful and laugh-out-loud funny. Will Toby be able to find his true self amidst his self-created mayhem, save his budding romance, and brighten his brown daisy before his sanity is destroyed in the process?.
