A Spontaneous Compulsion to Misspeak
Peyton Mayer is a TV reporter with looks, ambition, and personality. If he could only get to the end of a sentence without a flub he’d be a network instead of a local reporter. When Peyton moves into the Hudson he attaches himself to Eddie, figuring that Eddie will lead him to a career-making story. As Stinky trolls YouTube for videos of Peyton’s on-air gaffes, Eddie tries to keep him out of harm's way. Peyton fortifies himself with a Virgin Scorpion Bowl and then orders a double portion of trouble at a classic Chinese restaurant – you don’t have to crack open a fortune cookie to know that he’s way over his head. Lucky for him, Eddie is taller.
About Stinky Stories
The #1 bestselling Amazon series, “Stinky Stories” includes almost eighty comic short stories that span over fifty years of Stinky and Eddie’s lives. Stinky is chatty and insouciant, and while Eddie may not say as much, when something needs to be done, he’s already doing it. They’re as close as Brooklyn and Queens and as unlikely to separate.
Stinky doesn’t go looking for trouble, but he can’t hide from it. It’s part of the “best looking man on the planet” package. Stinky eventually looks upon Peyton as his wayward child after Peyton invites himself to the family cottage for the weekend, discovers a “treasure chest” under the floorboards and gets kicked in the ribs for insulting a hook and ladder company. Stinky and Eddie would like to live quietly, but lucky for us that never happens.
This story introduces the first of many outrageous guest stars and read on for an ever expanding cast of relatives. The stories are witty and literate and readers don’t have to leave their brains in a jar to enjoy them. Whether it’s a flat-out farce, bedroom comedy, sexy romp, sly satire or screwball family intrigue, you’re never far from a happy ending in every Stinky story. Isn’t that what we really need these days?
