Casey Stumpner is an aspiring author with much ambition and minimal talent. He has arranged a book launch for his latest action-erotica novel, Thrust & Perry: Pig in a Blanket of Danger at a tiny independent bookstore in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't go well. Meet the Author is about living one's dreams and failing miserably. The play is intended to be performed in bookstores that can host author events. It is also suitable for cabaret spaces. Festival-friendly with easy set-up and tear down and low tech.
