They're Raving About Weeping Willow:

"... hilarity ensues... both from the story, and from the authors interjections. The humor is brilliant but down to earth and the situations can be relevant to anyman (woman) in anytown."

T. Komarek
Kansas City, KS

"Wild humorous look at contemporary America; scathing satire, hip references to just about everything under the sun... A uniquely funny book that defies almost everything ... a quirky, class-by-itself satirical novel with loads of hip humor for a with-it, young contemporary readership... I hope these guys keep plugging in Hollywood. They have a mini-series here, if only someone will take a close look."

John DeChancie
from Writer's Digest

"Forget "Will & Grace", Geoff Hoff and Steve Mancini are the new gay/straight alliance of comedy! ... there's guaranteed laughs, mystery and erections -- people, that's pretty darn good for a paperback!"

Terry Ray
Star of Gaydar the Movie

"Writers Geoff Hoff and Steve Mancini have created a fourth wall in book publishing, just so they could break it. That means, they talk to you, and to each other, while you are reading their serialized novel... If that sounds like a wacky statement, it's a fair representation of the gonzo experience you'll get from reading this book. The art of the novel as a real audience participation event sort of thing... If you don't like to get your funny bone wrenched, wrap it up or read something else. "

Ken Furtado
Echo Magazine

"The commentary between writers Geoff and Steve reminded me of Woody Allen if he were siamese twins. I ... couldn't put it down. I was frequently laughing out loud, often startling my slumbering dog. I now feel far more ubiquitous with a sense of omnipresent liquidity©, having read Weeping Willow ... I highly recommend giving it a read, as it will definitely leave you with a smile on your face and a prodigious vocabulary once completed. "

Sean Michael Beyer
Director of Down the PCH

"There's no way to spoil this hilarious book! Written by a gay/straight writing team, the authors' intelligent, yet silly humor will keep you laughing, engaged and wanting more. This book is sure to be a modern classic and I recommend it highly to anyone who wants to laugh out loud while getting the benefits of a well written story. "

Don Goodson
ADL Books

"Caution! - Addictive Characters Ahead! ...The hero's adventure is nudged along by idiosyncratic town folk whose off-center charm mirrors that of the authors... The story is great, but the characters (fictional and authorwise) keep you reading, and wanting more."

Michael V. Gallo
Troy, MI

"Very original, highly entertaining... an insanely funny story with Quirky Non-Sequiters(TM), random comments from the authors, and various copyright and trademark notices throughout (don't ask me why, but they are very funny).

David Workman
Bellevue, Washington

"I never thought I'd find two individuals that write like I think. ... rated a 3C for Concise, Comical and Charismatic. ...whenever I feel a downer coming, I read. It cheers me up every time because things could always be worse."

Ethiopia N.
Detroit, MI

This book is one of the most unusual and funniest books I've read in a long, long time. The humor comes at you from many angles... It is so rich with detail and "real" characters that I will be sure to read it again. If you want to feel lighter about the woes in your everyday life, then you must read Weeping Willow.

Jeremy Goodman
Indianapolis, IN

"While reading it, I laughed out loud each and every time. It's well-written, well thought out, and incredibly funny ... teenagers of all ages (you know...13 to 98 or so) will enjoy it immensely!"

Catherine M. Cammack
Spokane, WA

I've never read anything so utterly engaging, nor have I seen humor used so deftly. The weight of the characters is nearly tangible... Weeping Willow is the only work I've read where I honestly wouldn't be surprised to run into one of the characters in real life.

S. Martinez

Best selling authors Geoff Hoff and Steve Mancini met while writing for an award-winning cabaret show that ran for several years in Hollywood.

They immediately discovered that, as different as they were from each other, they had a similar love for well constructed stories with off-beat humor. They tried to get their stuff noticed by someone, anyone who could do something with it. Everyone who read it said...

You are very good, funny
but we're not taking on any "untried" writers

Finally, in exasperation, they decided to take their work directly to the public and created an on-line satirical serial. After posting a few chapters, they put a small text ad on the humor news site theOnion.com that said, simply...

Ever Laugh So Hard You Farted?
Read Weeping Willow.
Alone.

Suddenly, they had thousands of readers from all over the world! Emails came flooding in calling them crazy and that they loved the story. Their readership grew.

Debra in the Oscar-nominated short film "Seraglio" "A thoroughly enjoyable read that just gets better and better. Dibs on playing Abby in the movie!" Debra Christofferson Star of HBO's Carnivàle and ABC's NYPD Blue

Can't find good, well written, funny,
silly, intelligent entertainment?

Are you tired of humor that:

• Panders to the lowest common denominator?
• Insults your intelligence, or assumes you don't have any at all?
• Is filled with inconsistent, cardboard characters?
• Thinks that a string of vulgar swear words is an acceptable substitute for a joke?
• Is frustratingly, irritatingly, annoyingly predictable?
• Uses too many adjectives?

We feel your pain and...

There is a solution!

Weeping Willow: Welcome to River Bend has been called an intelligent yet silly modern classic. It's endearing. Compelling. Unique. Weeping Willow: Welcome to River Bend is the hysterically funny book by Geoff Hoff and Steve Mancini about Lee Harris, whose staid life in Chicago is completely uprooted when he discovers his wife has fallen in love with another guy.

One week he's living in a nice house with a good job, a wife everyone calls a "dish," sleeping on a plush king sized bed with a down comforter. The next week he finds himself sleeping on a sticky green Naugahyde couch in the dank attic of a greasy diner after spending a night in jail.

But Lee discovers he can pick himself up, dust himself off and move forward. And because of his new, off-the-wall small town neighbors, he also discovers he's not alone. While he stumbles through his new adventures, reluctantly expanding his horizons...

... a great new comic hero is born

Together with the insane and brilliant interruptions by the writers, two dangerously funny guys, Lee's adventures create a book that John DeChancie of Writer's Digest calls "a quirky, class-by-itself satirical novel with loads of hip humor".

"Weeping Willow is an original. I've never read a story with this type of irreverent style. The writers create memorable, quirky characters who find themselves in those odd situations that you can't quite explain to your friends ... undefinable, funny, new, different, and at times quite touching." Rhonda Rayman UCLA Student

on these great bonus gifts!

• The Devil's Dictionary - ($24.95 value) a newly edited and formatted eBook version of the Ambrose Bierce classic, it's the cynic's word book, a wonderfully skewed, curmudgeonly look at the English language that is dark, biting and very funny.
  
  
• The Man Who Was Thursday - ($21.95 value) a surreal detective story by the author of the Father Brown stories. It's a fight between chaos and order where a tightly controlled society of anarchists and the irregular discipline of a group of policemen are at war and contradiction showers down on almost every line. This eBook is a strange delight.
  
  
• The Ideal Bartender Annotated - (easily worth $25.50) have a grand old time with this 1917 bartender drink guide where you'll learn what a pony is and how to make your own homemade Curacoa. A humorous yet useful throwback to the country club days before Prohibition, written by the man who was credited with making the best Mint Juleps in the world. This new eBook was painstakingly annotated. Belly up to the bar, boys. And girls.
  
  
• 1601 by Mark Twain - ($10.95 value) the ribald, crude, almost completely forgotten satire by Mark Twain originally titled "Conversation As it was by the Social Fireside in the Time of the Tudors". It was written as if by Rabelais and lampoons what is thought of as polite society in a supposed conversation between Lord Bacon, Sir Walter Raleigh, Ben Jonson, Shakespeare, Queen Elizabeth, the Duchess of Bilgewater and others. This eBook proves that everyone loves a fart joke.
  
  
• P.T. Barnum's The Art of Money Getting - ($16.50 value) yes, P.T. Barnum, the circus guy (who never said "There's a sucker born every minute", by the way). Download this book of advice, which is quaint, sometimes unintentionally funny, yet some of it is still strangely relevant.
  
  
• The Beach - ($3.95 value) a dark short story by Steve Mancini. Very different in style and mood from Weeping Willow. This eBook available nowhere else!
  
  
• "And I'm Happy..." - ($5.95 value) a gentle fantasy, a short story by Geoff Hoff. Again, very different from Weeping Willow. Again, this eBook available nowhere else.

What was that about a guarantee?

Tony on the set of China Beach "I don't think I've ever enjoyed reading so much in my life. I blew through it, and was so, so sad when it was finished. Every single character was so real and alive, that when that last page came, I missed them all dearly. I also loved the banter between Geoff and Steve. You guys are brilliant." Tony Colitti Ventura, CA

"This is easily the most entertaining story I've read in a long time. The characters are endearing and realistic ... I found myself attached to pretty much all of them. The authors are brilliantly funny, but in a smart way- the story itself could stand on its own if the authors suddenly decided to quit telling jokes (which you hope they wouldn't)." Joshua Van Cleef Orlando, FL

"... truly unique... I have love-hate relationships with books such as these largely due to my inability to put them down... Everyone has been Lee at one time and everyone has a Twain in their life. A great book... makes the reader part of the story and yearning to meet the characters... " Jeffrey W. Brayne Lead Guitarist - Harvey Moon Project Middletown, NJ
