A writer’s resume must include a certain taste of whimsy, grit, and misdirection.
David J. wanders the Great White North collecting tales of (mis)adventure, sadness, and manic frivolity rooted in an endless curiosity. Educated by the sternest grammarians and literary luminaries of the Saskatoon Public School system, Hamilton learned to combine his punchy prose, irreverent humour, and satirical eye under decades of intense pressure as a Red Seal Chef.
And so shines the crazy diamond.
These days, he plies his respective trades in the Southern Kootenays, where inspiration is everywhere and the calamity of wonder never ceases to amaze. Or stupefy.
The DimWitts Saga
Ignorance always wins.
The end of the world arrives with zero dignity, dragging humanity down a sudden, crushing slide into a cosmic stupidity so profound that civilization collapses under its own weight.
Charlie Witt spent his life suffocating under the shadow of his brother, Michael. But he is the only one who knows that Michael wields the dim—an unconscious, weaponized aura of profound stupidity that liquefies the intellect of anyone nearby. A walking cognitive hazard, his brother’s dormant power is about to slip Charlie’s control and wreak havoc on an unsuspecting planet.
The sudden wave of global stupidity triggers a massive geopolitical meltdown as reality dissolves into pure farce. A rogue NASCAR champion turns US President and annexes a Canadian town, prompting an absurd, highly improvised sovereign defence by a flamboyant British king. Eighteen months later, with Russian tanks invading Canada on Canada Day and the fabric of existence collapsing into absolute zero, a disgraced colonel, a political talk show host, and a preternatural emerald-eyed cat must navigate a dangerous trans-dimensional spectrum to save what’s left.
Dry, razor-sharp, and unapologetically cynical, this epic tale autopsies human vanity and greed. When reality becomes a joke, sanity is a liability. Might as well run with it.
