The Adventures of Methanny and Catalytic Kyle

Small-town crime has never been this stupid.

Welcome to Desert Blossom, where the crimes are petty, the schemes are spectacularly stupid, and one exhausted police officer is about to lose what remains of his faith in humanity.

Meet Catalytic Kyle and Methanny: two small-time schemers with big dreams, absolutely no business sense, and a seemingly supernatural ability to turn the most worthless junk imaginable into their next terrible idea.

Their entrepreneurial ventures include selling stolen pallets for $9.83, acquiring questionable dollar-store cosmetics, preparing for the apocalypse with twenty-five bricks, and establishing a boarding school for imaginary Chihuahuas. Their latest business opportunities are always just around the corner. Unfortunately, so are the police.

Enter Hal, a long-suffering Desert Blossom police officer whose career has devolved into an endless cycle of emergency calls, inexplicable animal encounters, spectacular property damage, and repeat visits to the jail's unofficially reserved Honeymoon Suite.

Whether he's investigating a stolen Christmas manger, dealing with a mountain lion named Trotter, or responding to a Valentine's Day coyote caravan that goes catastrophically wrong, Hal knows two things: Kyle and Methanny are almost certainly responsible, and his shift is about to get a whole lot worse.

And just when Hal thinks he's finally escaped the madness, Kyle unveils his next business venture: brand-new used catalytic converters.

Because in Desert Blossom, the only thing more unreliable than the local economy is Kyle's next get-rich-quick scheme.

The Adventures of Methanny and Catalytic Kyle is a gloriously ridiculous comedy about small-town chaos, spectacularly bad decisions, and the unfortunate police officer who has to deal with all of it. Perfect for readers who enjoy absurdist humor, deadpan comedy, and characters whose terrible ideas somehow keep getting worse.
