  If you’ve ever found yourself in a conversation thinking, “I have no idea what I’m talking about”—this book is your salvation. 
  In The Bullsht Artist’s Handbook*, self-proclaimed overthinker and professional nonsense generator Dicholas Chad Pansy offers a brutally honest, wildly practical guide to dominating conversations, debates, meetings, and social events with zero actual knowledge. No degrees, facts, or preparation required—just the audacity to sound like you know what you’re doing. 
  This isn’t about lying. This is about sounding smart, intimidatingly confident, and vaguely profound—all while saying absolutely nothing of substance. 
  Inside, you'll learn how to: 
  Weaponize confidence to bulldoze logic 
  Say a lot without saying anything (and get applause for it) 
  Use pauses, squints, and sighs to look like a genius 
  Win debates without facts (or shame) 
  Drop philosopher names you've never read (convincingly) 
  Bullsh*t your way through work meetings, parties, and even Twitter 
  Whether you're looking to survive awkward small talk, impress strangers at brunch, or gaslight your way to the top of the corporate ladder, this handbook is your guide to becoming a certified conversational menace. 
  Warning: This is a humor book. If you’re looking for actual personal growth, you’ve taken a very wrong turn.

  MEET THE UNFORGETTABLE YOUNG WOMAN, LaDene Faye Howell, who finds herself in police custody recounting her story after her paroled cousin Bobbie Frank appears and engages her in a crime spree. 
   
   
   
  LaDene Faye Howell has spent her life in the small town of Devola, on an oxbow of the Muskingum River, in southeast Ohio. Her family is conservative and deeply religious, although another branch of the Howell clan are notorious criminals. When one of her outlaw relatives returns from prison, LaDene hopes the two of them may share an evening of fun, or even a spark of romance. Instead, Bobby Frank embroils her in kidnapping their old high school principal. 
   
    
   
  Taken into custody, LaDene recounts her misadventures in the form of a dramatic monologue. Pledging to "tell all in full truth so help me God," she hopes to keep herself out of jail and perhaps even soften Bobby's likely sentence. She also aims to capture her listeners' sympathy by recounting a secret from her past that she has never shared before. 
   
   
   
  Told with country noir flair, the heart of the story is LaDene's struggle to live as her own person while remaining true to her heritage and family loyalties.
