Publisher's Synopsis
A short novella packed with mental meltdowns, moving, laughs and psycho boyfriends... a hilarious story with crazy humor only Joe Brian could write!
Get ready for the biggest mental meltdown of 2013! Grab a pack of cigarettes, a six pack of beer and climb into my busted car with no hub caps, whose back seat looks as if someone was murdered in it as we drive all the way from sunny California to the great country known as Texas.
My friend was right when he said sometimes it's okay to start fresh in a new place. Some would say I ran from my problems, while some say I had a lot of guts to just up and move to a new state. I say, I have no kids, no significant other and nothing that was tying me down to my home city, so why not explore a new place?
I would like to present to you The Wizard of Austin series. I won't explain to you every single thing that happened in Texas as it would bore you, but in this series, I've crafted together what I like to call the Greatest Hits of this era of my life.
This book is dedicated to anyone who has ever had a sense of adventure. To anyone who has ever been the new kid in town. To anyone who has ever had to start over from scratch. If you have ever moved to a new city or state, started a new chapter, or all of the above, this project is dedicated to you. Do I regret moving to Texas? Absolutely not. Some of the people I encountered there are now lifelong friends and I couldn't imagine not ever knowing them. I am a firm believer that people enter and leave your life for a reason. Some of them stay, some of them go.
You never know what you are capable of until you try. You can go through life wondering what could have been or should have been or you can take that risk and see where it takes you. Life is too short to wonder what could've happened.
I hope you enjoy reading about my journey. Was all of it easy? No. Was all of it bad? No. I always believe in mixing a little bit of humor into every situation. There is never a dull moment in my life and
I am excited to share my experiences with you. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it. You are going to need a drink or two for this one! Much love, J.B.
