The Willing Fool Series Book 1

Meet The Floridian Candidate:

Leroy O’Malley

Set in sun-soaked Apalachicola, Florida, The Floridian Candidate introduces Leroy O'Malley, an underemployed dreamer who spends his days pedaling the Forgotten Coast highways on his banana-seat bike, picking up odd jobs, and binging on self-help tapes—all while hoping to catch a break and claim the American Dream... complete with benefits.

When a chance encounter with a bold, unpredictable stranger at a roadside oyster bar thrusts Leroy into a world of opportunity, it feels like his dreams are finally within reach. But as his fortunes spiral, he discovers the dark reality—rules are for fools, ambition comes at a deadly cost, and moral choices aren’t always easy.

The Floridian Candidate is the first installment of The Willing Fool Series and the beginning of Leroy’s journey. Darkly comedic, it takes a satirical look at power, corruption, and the pursuit of happiness in a modern world where truth is stranger than fiction.

Filled with unforgettable characters and twists, it’s the perfect read for lovers of modern political thrillers, absurdist fiction, and classics like 1984
