All Encompassing Trip is a trip! Imagine Kafka, Kerouac, and Douglas Adams on the road, and you'll get a feel for this completely original, witty, and wild book that's (thank goodness!) anything but normal. Del Sesto's prose sparkles. What a great debut.
-- Lori Jakiela, author of Miss New York Has Everything
Del Sesto pays homage to Tom Robbins and Christopher Moore in this clever, insightful, and flat-out hilarious novel while maintaining an entirely original point of view, making All Encompassing Trip one of my favorite books of the year!
Jen Lancaster - author of Bitter is the New Black and Bright Lights Big Ass
Normal isn't taking any calls here. There's a reason this genre is called Bizarro and a fun book like All Encompassing Trip fits right in. Robert Tacoma.. author of Key Weird, Key Weirder and Key Witch
Meet Nikki Nasco: 40, single, obsessive, neurotic, unorthodox and really kind of fun. She is having a very normal day. She goes to the gym, she calls her mother, and she stresses out about not having her Top Five Desert Island CD’s selected.
Meet Amber Lawson: 35, lesbian, driven, aerobics instructor. She too is having a very normal day. She attends law school, teaches Boot Camp and receives a phone call from Nikki, the purpose of which she never fully understands, but knows there is a deserted island involved.
And then the darkness comes …
In a world where coffee is no longer available, the only television shows are reality TV re-runs, and the animals are talking back, Nikki, Amber and a singing Coyote in a do-rag are out to restore the light (and hopefully prevent Nikki’s eyes from being stolen by an Irish midget.)
Normal is missing.
Reward.

As a winter present for everyone, I'm offering a free novella on my website.
A Happily Ever After of Her Own
Melinda Lightfoot, a preschool teacher with an unusual ability to flit in and out of fairy tales, never thought she would get into trouble...
...until the Fairy Tale Police arrest her while she is in Beauty and the Beast. They offer her a deal: Find Beauty, who left the story when Melinda trespassed into it, or be charged with the ultimate crime -- Fairy Tale Killer. If that's not bad enough the Beast tags along in search of his true love, and Melinda starts falling for the fairy tale prince. She must choose between doing the right thing and having her own happily ever after.
“The writer William Burroughs once called language “a virus from outer space”, and there’s a sense of that in A History of Sarcasm, where Burton holds words up to the sun and lets the light shine through them.”
You are still teh awesomest and I have not forgotten you. I miss your sense of humor. What is that line from 200 Motels? "This town is a cold tuna sandwich with a wrapper around."
MySpace is the kind laced with mercury and bits of dolphin.
All the best Jason Hodges, guitarist for melodic metal band Ilium, wildlife rescuer and author of supernatural thrillers! New Ilium album 'Ageless Decay' featuring Mike DiMeo (Riot/Masterplan) on vocals, mixed and mastered by Tommy Hansen out now!
'In my point of view (Ilium have) created the Highlight of the Year 2009!... From the beginning until the End one is able to indulge in the tremendous melodies, to be carried away with the great atmosphere and the great arrangements or simply ingest the energy of the songs. I have been writing now for 8 months for Stormbringer but have not had the need so far to give the highest grade up to now.' - Stormbringer 5/5
To purchase 'Ageless Decay' or any other Ilium product, contact Jason at metalion@tpg.com.au
In STL. Blek. Remote control not covered b/c I don't have an ice bucket in my room. Drat! Can it please be time for Vegas again? Oh, and, OF COURSE I was dramatic on the day. Hugely dramatic. Almost through Abundance. Nikki D book next. You lit a fire under me, friend!
"By all intents & purposes I shouldn't be here. I should be a forlorn figment of nobody's imagination; the impossible secret dream of my mother's troubled heart. By all outward appearances I should have been swimmin' in the load she swallowed; swirling about in that milky glob that flew in her eye. I should have been the one who always got away. If the devil did care, he would have assigned me to a permanent post in the realm of sweet possibility. But did any of this honkey tonk bullshit happen? Noooooooooooooo. That would have been way too easy for everybody. Instead, by the apparent (miraculous) intervention of unseen forces, what began as an innocuous nipping of the nuggets would become the baddest little bitch that could."

I always knew that I would have asked you to dance.

And in a further coincidence, I've been waiting for the super awesome Lynda Barry to say yes to my friend request cause I've had a crush on her since 1980. Which could explain her reticence. Gotta work on my friend pitch.
