New Comedy Novel! 📚 Welcome to Buckeyburg

WELCOME TO BUCKEYBURG!
You’ll want to stay!
(Because you can’t leave…)

If you like my comedy, you’re going to love this novel. And man, it’s been a long time coming…

Welcome to Buckeyburg

A Novel

From celebrated comedy writer BILL ALIVE, author of DON'T DANCE ON THE LOBSTERS, comes an all-new, wildly entertaining romp of a novel, packed with lovable misfits, laugh-out-loud humor, and delicious mayhem.

Dillon Ryan boards a bus packed with his fellow college students, all headed south for spring break. A very special spring break, helping out with the cleanup after a recent hurricane.

Well, that, and also hopefully hanging out with this super hot girl on the trip that Dillon never thought he would actually get to meet.

Then the bus stops for gas.

In a little country town called Buckeyburg.

And all Dillon's tidy plans for the week blow wide open, like a soap bubble meeting a herd of runaway rhinos.

If you love zany characters and hysterical capers, and you crave a sweet escape into a new, outrageously fun little world, then don't miss this hilarious vacation of a tale.

WAIT, DID THAT SAY PREORDER?

It did! For these next few novels coming out, they’ll be available for preorder first.

OH NO! BUT I HATE WAITING!!

I know, me too. I hear you. But here’s the thing. Let me let you in on a couple little secrets…

OOOH! SECRETS…

  • If you’re a bundle sort of person, you’ll definitely be able to get this book in a comedy bundle coming very soon (also to preorder).

  • If you’re a Kickstarter sort of person, you might be able to get this book early, before the official release. Along with a ton of other fantastic comedy rewards.

For now, I’m saying might on that, because I haven’t nailed down the Kickstarter plan just yet. So if you like Kickstarters, write me and let me know—I’d love to hear what you love (and loathe) about Kickstarter campaigns.

On the other hand, if you just like to keep things simple, go ahead and preorder this standalone comedy novel right now. In due time, your copy will magically appear… probably as a delightful surprise, just when you can really use the lift.

Either way, thank you for checking out this upcoming release! See you next week, and happy reading!
