Today I’m releasing my new mini-book, Why Can’t I Leave A Smiley Face? It’s a 52-page memoir about the month-long visit to America in October 2012. Here’s the description:

How many sexual partners is too many?
What happens when you’ve lived away from your birth country for too long?
Why do moms give bad advice to their sons?
Why do Americans talk so much?
Should a one-night stand have romance?
Can a man ever be more interesting than a woman’s smartphone?
Are you your father’s son?
How much money is enough?
Which country is best for men?
Can a city decrease a man’s sex drive?
Why is it that using a smiley face is needy in one country but not in another?

These are the questions that come up in Why Can’t I Use A Smiley Face?, a short memoir about one man’s brief return to America after living in Europe for nearly two years. Stories range from trying to bang girls in Washington DC to getting caught up in a web of lies.

Living abroad can bring great experiences, relationships, and happiness, but it may cost you friends, family, and even your own identity.

The book costs $3. If you purchase the Kindle or ebook edition (pdf, mobi, and epub package) before Sunday at midnight, you get a discount of one whole dollar. The price will increase to $4 after that.

This book is a mini-sequel to A Dead Bat In Paraguay, the memoir I released four years ago after quitting my job and living outside of America for the first time. I recommend you read it first before Smiley Face to better appreciate the stories. While reading Dead Bat is not required, you should at least be familiar with my background to put Smiley Face in context. This weekend I’m offering a combo deal where you can get all three of my memoirs for $8. The download package contains pdf, mobi, and epub formats of each book, for a total of 433 pages…

Smiley Face is on the short side (it will take you about 90 minutes to read), but it’s a story I wanted to tell. I hope you enjoy it.
