When I read the liner notes that said his new book was a "laugh out loud read" I had some doubts. What could be funny about being outed from GOP politics, hinted that the reason was AIDS and not being able to find a job outside of retail? Well, be prepared to truly enjoy this book and...laugh out loud. I sat down with Mike Triggs to listen to his amazing journey and his book that has a surprise ending. You can buy the book locally at Beaverdale Books, Barns & Noble and online at Amazon.
