Brian A. Ask
A quintessential nomad who survived twelve schools in twelve years, attended four universities across the globe, and expertly managed to avoid graduating from a single one of them. After four decades as a “Chaos Commander” in such industries as event production and food service, he traded the corporate grind for the literary world — and never looked back.
The Debut Novel
A young heartthrob, a legendary musician, and one remarkably telepathic terrier stand between a soulless organization and the music that will change the world.
What begins as a mundane ice-fishing excursion on the frozen plains of the Midwest rapidly devolves into a cross-country odyssey of mythical proportions. Epic adventures. Questionable magic. And a dog who just wants a belly rub and a milk bone.
Meet Mrs. Henry
One telepathic terrier, two unlikely companions, an impossible road trip.
“If Terry Pratchett wrote a road-trip novel with a telepathic dog riding shotgun, you’d get something close to this gloriously unhinged adventure. I laughed, I cried, and I seriously considered naming my next pet Mrs. Henry.”
