ABOUT SUBMISSION PROCESS:
Have you ever wondered about what goes in the life of a published author? If you’re a struggling writer, you certainly have. Many book lovers wonder as well—is it fame, fortune, and fans? Wildly exciting book tours? Old flames calling, begging for “one more chance?” Well… the routine you go through trying to get a book published is called “the submission process.” The dual-symbolism contained in those words would humble even Fitzgerald.
ABOUT COWBOYS:
"Learning about history can be boring—but that’s mostly because the guys who teach it are relics themselves, cloaked in tweed and tenured since Roosevelt gave away Eastern Europe. In his laugh-out-loud book Where Have All the Cowboys Gone, Prioleau Alexander digs deep into the hilarity that is America’s history, from Columbus to the cowboys to the Kennedys… and demonstrates clearly that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to be made fun of by future generations."
What People are Saying:
More from Prioleau Alexander:
“What do you do when the time comes to answer life's big questions? Something harebrained, of course. And what could be more witless than stuffing a backpack with the essentials, flying across the world, and undertaking a pilgrimage across Spain on the Camino de Santiago? Dispatches Along the Way is the endearing, humbling, and laugh-out-loud story of Prioleau Alexander's walk-about on "The Way of St. James," a pilgrimage route with a history stretching back to the Middle Ages. Along the way Prioleau doggedly pursues the root source of happiness, the truths in theology, and a place serving beer. Does he find the answers he's seeking? You bet. But the answers are not what you'd think.”
"Ever fantasized about quitting your job and starting over? Prioleau Alexander did just that. Here is his laugh-out-loud funny, endearing, and humbling exploration of life at minimum wage. Alexander walked away from a lucrative career as an advertising executive, seeking a life like that dude on Kung Fu.” Over the next year, he worked minimum-wage jobs as a pizza deliveryman, ice cream scooper, construction worker, ER tech, fast food jockey, and even cowboy on a Montana dude ranch. He reveals a side of America that is rarely seen and questions the stale white-collar notions of a deeper, more meaningful life beyond the cubicle. In You Want Fries With That? Prioleau explores life at minimum wage and proves unequivocally that the grass is not always greener on the other side.”
