When an assistant grocery store manager becomes a wildly successful author, hilarity ensues in this laugh-out-loud book about finding success in the chaos of the publishing industry.

Ray Zdatny dreams of being a published author, but his career as a Publix grocery store assistant produce manager doesn't quite match his ambitions. Fueled by hope, a sense of humor, and just a touch of naivety, Ray takes his first plunge into the world of publishing-and finds striking success.

With eccentric, duplicitous literary agent Andre Bob Smythe, Jr. and his lifelong friend Myrna, Ray is in for a wild ride-especially when a surprising new love interest, Sandybo, sets a spark kindling in his heart. As Ray learns his craft and climbs the ranks of the publishing industry, hilarity ensues-for the literary world is a wilderness of absurdity.

A Dirty Book is an unapologetically funny look at the writer's life-equal parts silly, heartwarming, and insightful. Author Joe Tom King brings an offbeat sense of humor to this novel, taking readers on a comedic odyssey, a story where goodness prevails despite all the odds.

Fans of Christopher Moore will delight in King's style and subject matter. Whether you're a writer yourself or just someone who appreciates a good laugh at the expense of self-actualization, A Dirty Book promises a good time, heartfelt moments, and a reminder that deeper purpose can be found in the most unlikely places.
