Temporary Insanity, Operation Detour, Dobie's Dilemma, Lottery President and Another Way have been stitched together as an episodic saga starring Dobie Pokorny.
Raised in Louisville, Dobie spends his 20s in L.A., where jobs, relationships, even his sanity are temporary.
Next comes Kuala Lumpur, where he gets tangled up with Riva, a beautiful young black ops agent‑in‑training. It sounds better than it is.
Back in the States, he marries a woman who looks like Riva but -- good news/bad news -- is nothing like her. When he and a co-worker expose their employer's corruption, they end up in Witness Protection.
Returning to Louisville, Dobie wins the lottery — literally — and launches a presidential campaign. It made sense at the time.
With assassination attempts behind him -- mostly -- he writes a manifesto and takes his show on the road. The universe gives him Semmy — a little blue alien who may or may not be a figment of his imagination — and Kaylie — who just might be the love of his life.
