Who is Truant D. Memphis?

Truant Delighted Memphis is an author, occasional performer, alter-ego, fictional character, adventurer, sloppy guitar player, martial artist, untrained image maker, husband and father. He was born and raised in Texas. An orphan, at age 16 he wandered away from his foster home on foot in search of adventure. He is married to Daffodil Fields. They have two children: Daniel Trate (adopted), and a baby girl named Peaceful Dreaming Memphis (Sweet Pea for short).

Truant began his journey to save the Multiverse a little over fifteen years ago. He is an agent for the all-knowing Bob, who we think is what other people call God, though we haven't confirmed that yet. Truant invites you to join him on his quest.

Oh!pocalypto
Poppycock
:

The beginning of the middle of the end is here...
A farce in three acts! Who knew the apocalypse could be so much fun? Follow our cast on an adventure through the city of Las Vegas, where everyone in town wants to get their hands on a stolen black case and a beautiful Princess. There are amazing car chases, tons of super cool cameos, arguably the greatest rock concert of all time, and what sort of apocalyptic adventure would it be if we didn’t save the entire planet by the end of the show?

Post Oh!pocalypto Poppycock may be the most important literary work of a generation. Of course, “may” and “important” are broadly defined terms, so don’t take our word for it:

“Like reading someone overact.” - Vampire Gene Siskel

“This is where we’re headed folks! Hellfire, brimstone…” - The Reverend Jimmy “Gimme” Cash

“This book goes blue early and never looks back, so basically the author stole my shtick.” - The Archangel Lenny Bruce

“This guy doesn’t even know how to spell right and stuff, but I liked it.” - Anonymous subway patron

“This book reads like it was written by a 12 year old child on LSD.” - Truant’s 12 year old nephew

“It’s filthy, but if you can get through the layer of filth, underneath, you will find a whole other layer of filth.” - Your mom

“Haplessly irreverent.” - My mom

“Truant Memphis’ attempts to make a mockery of the English language are a mockery of themselves. Sophomoric at best.” - Every tenth grade English Teacher ever

“The fastest action sequences I’ve ever read!” - Patrick Swayze’s ghost

“It’s music for Millennials, man.” - Confused stoner

“The author’s sense of hopefulness for humanity demonstrated throughout the story is as childish and unrealistic as the story itself.” - Steve
DAFFODIL:

Out now!!!

An existential odyssey through space, time, and a young woman’s mind.

I wrote this adventure in an effort to save the universe. Is my ego truly that monolithic? Maybe, but it wasn’t my idea to write a book to save the universe. This was an assignment from a Bob I know that may be God. She made me do this. The only choice I had in the matter was what to write about. I chose to tell you about the woman I love and how we saved the universe together the first time around. Of course, this means telling you about all the times we saved the universe in between the day we met and the end of this book, until this book ends, at which point we will have saved the universe again if everything goes according to plan, which it rarely does.

Anyway, if you enjoy a little chaos, a little time inside the squishy maze we call the human brain, a little taste of emotionally compromised writing, a little desperate love from a desperate man, you might want to read this exercise in confusion. I can’t promise you’ll enjoy my musings or rants or punchlines, but I can promise you this: Life is a run-on sentence.

Your friend,
Truant
