About the author
Dwayne Fry
62 books133 followersI was reading some time before other children my age. My dad helped to teach me and some of my reading skills were self-taught. I was reading books on my own before I entered Kindergarten. A severe underachiever in so many other academics, literature and language always came so easy to me.
Most people have a funny bone, even if modern science still can’t tell us where it’s located. I believe I have three. I always sought out books that were funny or whimsical. When I was eleven years old, I took it upon myself to write a novel that would be funnier than anything I’d ever read. Okay, full disclosure, I wrote it with a friend and his parts were funnier than mine. The book as a whole was pretty awful, though.
I have written numerous books over the years that were far too good for public consumption and they’ll never see the light of day. That’s the lie I tell myself, anyway. The truth is, I never tried to publish back then because I felt my work was a little too out there and most publishers would pass on it. Whether that’s reality or if I was just lazy, I’ll never tell. These days I self publish.
Most of what I offer are short stories and novellas, but I do have a novel in there called Rave On, about a rockabilly singer who falls for a magician with a strange secret. My second novel, Suckers & Rogues, is a coming-of-age tragedy about a group of teenagers working in the corn fields of Iowa in the mid-eighties. My third should be out soon. It’s called Survival of the Funnest and it’s the wacky story about a man who travels to Africa for a reality TV competition, and what happens to him and his family after returning home.

Since this last Christmas season was quite stressful for me, I found myself looking for something light and funny to read. When I read the blurb for this book, it sounded like the perfect premise. I could picture the poor guy confessing to his wife that he thought his young assistant had a crush on him and I wondered which would be more uncomfortable, his actual colonoscopy or the interrogation he would receive from his wife. Unfortunately, the story didn't live up to my expectations. This felt like the first draft of what could have been a real funny story. It still has potential, but it needs more work to deliver on that promise.

Fun quirky story!
I really enjoy reading anything by Dwayne Fry. He has such a unique writing style and I'm never disappointed with any of his storylines. His books make you feel like you are sitting around drinking coffee with a family member or friend listening to their stories. One of my favorite authors for sure.
