My Inflatable Friend: The Confessions of Rollo Hemphill

By Gerald Everett Jones

A disgraced hacker with a libido problem becomes a viral sensation in this hilarious satire of fame, fraud, and inflatable love.

Rollo Hemphill once had a promising future-until he sabotaged it with one click. Now a valet at a luxury hotel and still yearning for love, Rollo hatches a wildly misguided plan to win the affections of Felicia, the beautiful but unattainable hairdresser of his dreams. Armed with ego, desperation, and a rubberized "friend," he soon finds himself at the epicenter of a media scandal he never intended to start.

As Rollo navigates public ridicule, ex-girlfriend entanglements, and the suspicious gaze of a fed-turned-therapist, his journey toward redemption gets messier-and funnier-by the minute. Through hotel mishaps, gossip column chaos, and cringe-worthy seduction attempts, Rollo's obsession with reinvention collides with reality in spectacular fashion.

Darkly comic and shamelessly self-aware, My Inflatable Friend skewers celebrity culture, hacker ego, and the hapless male libido with laugh-out-loud precision. Rollo's bumbling confessions might make you cringe-but they'll keep you reading.

"Fast, funny, and sufficiently out there to be banned in Pasadena. Check with your doctor before reading." - Peter Lefcourt, author of The Woody and The Manhattan Beach Project
