Set in 1991 (another Recession year), "Pookoo" has the three-ringed circus of problems - job loss, divorce and money problems. It also has a wild and crazy mascot who drinks and a storyteller in love with his best friend's girlfriend.
"There's a lot going on, but isn't real life like that?" author D.L. Shiloh said.
Readers have found an understanding in Shiloh's tale of comic misery, which stemmed from his own hard times of once being laid off and separated in the same month.
The book has a series of "crap" jobs the narrator goes through after losing a "good" job in Chicago.
"Being unemployed is really rough and I don't wish it on anyone," Shiloh added. "That said, I wanted to give my readers some entertainment, for free."
That's right - this Amazon.com bestseller is now available as a free PDF - the author asks readers to join him on November 15th for National Pookoo Google Search Day. Type in "Pookoo" in your Google search engine, then head over to http://www.dlshiloh.com and download your free full e-book of "Pookoo."
"D.L. knows that times aren't easy now but that things will get better, so that's why Homefield Multimedia is making this book available for free. We'll see you later when the situation with the economy gets better," Mike Pace of Homefield said.
