“Thomas was a normal, everyday
American kid until the age of twelve.
That is when it all started. Afflicted
by a cruel medical disorder that left
him completely hairless, he found
people's intolerance of image leads
to cruelty. From a happy-go-lucky
boy he became a victim; beaten,
banished and ridiculed and from
there became a monster.

Combining painful memories and a
vicious wit Thomas tells his story, a
wicked self-portrait in The
Bends, a rich dark comedy taking
the form of a disturbing road movie
and a self-help book that will scar
you for life."

"If you like reading about twisted,
depraved, self-hating, low-lifes, you
will love this book."

"Black comedy at its delicious best."

Enter Daniel Bliss, a classically
trained New York actor with one aim
in mind: becoming the next  Robert
De Niro. There is one small
problem:

No one will hire him. He is stuck
performing bit-parts  and acting as
stand-ins.But then Daniel comes up
with a new business venture, one
that pays handsomely and keeps
him true to his aspirations of
becoming a great actor.

He starts acting in real-life roles,
situations where a trained thespian
can fill the void, becoming anything
anyone is willing to pay for."

"Every actor should own this book."

"A reflective masterpiece."
“Perhaps the best way to describe
just how much this book caught my
imagination is to reveal that even
almost a year after reading it, there
are still scenes that I remember
vividly, quotations that I can recall
and to confess that I will never think
of doughnuts with sprinkles in the
same way again.”

“Brilliantly written love story
captures your thoughts and
emotions throughout the whole
reading and long after it. The lucid
and detailed narration provides
multi layered complexity of each
character's personality, startling
revelations, creative turns of the
plot.”

“Dramatic and touching, the author
does a brilliant job of capturing the
reader’s attention and reeling them
into the depths of his story telling."
