A young man lands a job as a speech writer for a crack smoking, drunk driving, ass grabbing, lying Mayor of Toronto. In a satirical comedic novel that has story elements that sound familiar to many, 'Me and the Crack Mayor' imagines the inner world of a political administration that is out of control, yet unapologetic. While inspired by real events, this is a work of fiction that imagines what it would be like to be in the centre of a storm that makes the wrong kind of world wide headlines for Toronto. The novel is the second for author Gary Pearson, his first, the romantic comedy Slapshot of Love is also available through Amazon. Pearson is best known as a comedy writer for such TV shows as MadTV, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, That's So Weird and many others. He has won the Writer's Guild of Canada Award, The Canadian Comedy Award and a Canadian Screen Award. He has been nominated for six Gemini Awards and two further Canadian Screen Awards.

Geri Halton is a at a crossroads. A pretty, but not 'model pretty', smart, and witty woman has not lived up to her potential and is working in a dead end job at a seniors' residence. Her relationship with Carlo has gone stale, and she's having a hard time managing her credit card debt. Through a series of circumstances she finds herself on a reality TV dating show called Slapshot of Love. On the show, a popular single Dad hockey star, Ryan Tremblay, is choosing a mate from a stunning collection of beautiful women. Included in this list is Geri's spoiled brat, and possibly evil cousin Meagan. Geri isn't exactly cut out for a romantic TV show. She finds many of the 'dates' to be ridiculous and on a 'romantic' helicopter ride, she gets motion sickness. Will Geri get sucked into the fake world of reality TV? Will she be able to determine what is real and what is imagined? Will she and Ryan fall in love on TV? The book at once sends up and satirizes reality TV, and at the same time, uses the tricks and hooks of the genre to capture the reader. If you enjoyed Bridget Jones's diary or books by Nick Hornby like About a Boy and High Fidelity, Slapshot of Love will score with you. In reality show talk, read it for 'the journey' and be in it 'for the right reasons'.
