“Step right up and witness an entertaining world of action, intrigue, and exploration. It’s 1982, and Paul Driscoll is fate’s punching bag," Scullin said in a press release.

"His father recently died, he gets fired from his job, and his girlfriend dumps him. Desperate for money, the 23-year-old copywriter becomes a promoter with a traveling circus - and in his first town, falls in love.”

The book has "unforgettable characters and humor, plus reveals insights into circus life, the male psyche, and explorations of faith and self-discovery," he says.

The first-time author's book is now available on Amazon, ordered from bookstores and soon on Audible.

In his former life, Scullin created some famous ad campaigns, started a successful advertising agency, according to his press release. He sold it to write words that entertain.
