ABOUT THE BOOK

Ronan Besso is still getting used to becoming a rising star in Hollywood. The amateur comedian, fresh off a Netflix special, is learning that navigating stardom is not as easy as it appears. Managing the fallout from a big name breakup, reliant on drugs and dating a pornstar, Ronan wonders how long his career may survive.

When his sister calls to tell him their father is dying, Ronan must return home to New England, a place he hasn’t seen in ten years and a place he swore never to return.

In his trip he must reconcile with his past, lay his beloved father to rest, and manage his madcap family drama as best he can. He will also need to help his troubled nephew, whose struggles will put Ronan’s own in perspective and set them on a path that will change them both forever.

COMING IN SPRING OF 2023

The role of a writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say.
- Anais Nin

Storytelling is ancient. Before the written word and print, it was the primary means to convey history and experience. Storytellers were curators, keepers of myth and record.

The teller of tales is a shaman – channeling the mystery, with a foot in both worlds. They are sherpas – guiding their audience to perilous heights. They are shrinks – diving deeply into the vast oceans of the human experience.

While the methods of storytelling are still evolving – from tweets and memes to Kindle books and podcasts – the power of the story remains timeless. We long to relate, to connect, to experience another, if only for a moment. In all of us are worlds and stories.

To me, that is sacred.
