Travis Casey is an American British “in print entertainer,” which is a way of saying he writes books because stand up comedy requires faster reflexes than he has. After living in more places than a piece of lost luggage, he now channels his nomadic confusion into beach read fiction and satirical memoirs— the kind of stories that prove irony, chaos, and questionable life choices can, in fact, be a lot of fun.

Food for Thought: Idioms from the Kitchen Counter

English has a strange habit of turning food into personality, authority, effort, gossip, insanity, and suspiciously easy money. Maybe that is because food is universal. Everybody understands bread, cheese, cake, cookies, beans, bananas, and gravy. Even if you do not know where a phrase came from, you can usually feel what it means.

Travis Casey answered Goodreads's question: Travis Casey
Todays politics is absurd. I didn't copy what politicians are doing for a storyline, but I exploited their stupidity and thirst for power to give us a laugh. It's called satire, and I love it.
