Book Description
DeAndra DeLucca is a famous self-help star, but her life is so twisted that even the dog is in electroshock therapy. Dena Overton-Cromp is a 350lb. actress who was eaten by mutant piranha in her latest film. Morgana Tituba unclogs her toilet with druid incantations, and Randy Buckmeyer can't get Shoquita the Drag Queen to find her whip.
In the midst of them all is Karma Jones, one lost soul searching for spiritual truth in the chaos of the new millennium. His life as a Beverly Hills restaurateur is glamorous, but can his quirky California friends help him find Inner Peace? Just when enlightenment seems hopeless, a surprise invitation to Mama's 60th birthday party changes everything!
Karma hasn't visited the tiny swamp town of Busco, Florida, in a decade, but things haven't changed much on Manatee Lane. His sister, Sharon, gets her marital advice from the Old Testament, "Mean Jolene Bray" is still the local exorcist, and "boob sheep" may be keeping Cousin Lurloo Jenkins from the Pearly Gates! Everyone in Busco is eager to convert the California Boy, but is Karma ready to face the terror of Scriptural needlepoint AND the memory of a childhood gator tragedy? When Mama's birthday party turns out to be a prayer meeting and someone gets possessed, all hilarious hell breaks loose!
Author Jake Ransom weaves a web of non-stop comedy in this rip-roaring debut. With the touch of a born storyteller, he navigates the treacherous waters from Rodeo Drive to Little Eden Trailer Park...waters infested with the small biting fish of human hypocrisy. At the heart of this laugh-filled riot is an incisive, wickedly funny assault upon our most sacred forms of excess. Fishing For Piranha is a feisty catch of broad satire--a sparkling gem of American humor that is destined to become a cult classic!
