"From Mayor to Fool" is a series of transcribed conversations that took place in Spring 2008, between the Author (Tim Mayeur), his parents, his close friends, two Tarot Card Readers, a Psychic Medium and a Hypnotherapist. It is a journey where you get to follow the Author as he transforms and comes to terms with his life, the loss of his sister, struggles with what it means to be a Middle Class Man and evaluates his life in order to improve it. There were no rehearsals and the Psychics were not given any information about Tim's life prior to the meetings. Tim met them for the first time for these sessions. This is what happens when a nihilistic and skeptical man has a spiritual awakening. As a true story about the factors in one's life, it can be overwhelming, looking at all the possibilities and probabilities but in the end, people need to trust their own intuitions and judgment of where they want to go in life. Change involves stress and risk. Are you ready for a Change? Page Count: 288

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Empire Falls returns to North Bath, the Rust Belt town first brought to unforgettable life in Nobody’s Fool. Now, ten years later, Doug Raymer has become the chief of police and is tormented by the improbable death of his wife—not to mention his suspicion that he was a failure of a husband. Meanwhile, the irrepressible Sully has come into a small fortune, but is suddenly faced with a VA cardiologist’s estimate that he only has a year or two left to live. As Sully frantically works to keep the bad news from the important people in his life, we are reunited with his son and grandson . . . with Ruth, the married woman with whom he carried on for years . . . and with the hapless Rub Squeers, who worries that he and Sully aren’t still best friends. Filled with humor, heart, and hard-luck characters you can’t help but love, Everybody’s Fool is a crowning achievement from one of the great storytellers of our time. Look for Everybody’s Fool, available now, and Somebody’s Fool, coming soon.
