The Marisa Disclaimer

Excerpt from my bestselling audiobook, A Paper Orchestra

When I was in college, a woman selling cologne in a department store squirted some on me.

“I don’t smell anything,” I commented.

“That means you’re not ready for it,” she said, condescendingly.

“That means I’m not ready for it?”

“Maybe one day.”

For years, whenever I recalled that moment, I derided that woman. But one day, I thought, “What if she was right? What if I really wasn’t ready for it?”

And that’s the origin of The Marisa Disclaimer.
