Women and Whiskey

a novel

by eric maus


Ever been in love with two people at the same time? Danny Clark has. He's been in love with every woman he's ever met.

A bellboy scribbling verses on cocktail napkins, Danny Clark thinks he's the next Shakespeare. Really he is a drunk with a gift for bad decisions — and the married woman across the bar might be his worst one yet.

Women and Whiskey is a brutally honest journey into the psyche of an egotistical seducer and his downfall.

Most guys want to be a womanizer. This is what it’s like to be one. Danny Clark is the man you'll love to hate.

  • It was a genuinely engaging read and at times hard to put down because I wanted to see what kind of trouble the main character would get himself into next. The story mixes humor with darker emotional moments, and the author leans into a lyrical, metaphor rich prose style that many readers will appreciate.

  • While the main character is nuanced, elements/thoughts of his are relatable to people (approaching or) in their 30's who are experiencing life, in long term relationships and in the dating pool.

  • I found myself reading faster and faster trying to figure out what other chaos this man could get into. The story had a perfect ending.
