COMING FEBRUARY 2027

Thank you!

We'll send you the first chapter in the coming weeks, once someone with a little more attention to detail than Billy has finished the final edits.

Their, er, there, um, they're working on it now.

Thanks for your patience. We think you'll find it worth the wait!

Chaos has a front office.

Danny Mercer would like everyone to know he’s fine.

 

He is telling you this from a psychiatric ward, wearing a hospital wristband, which he considers a sudden administrative detail.

 

He has been running a team in a fledgling pro league: the experienced one, the man paid to smooth over big egos and bad ideas. To protect everyone, he documented everything, escalated nothing, and believed that being useful was the same as being alive.

 

Then someone new walked into the office and became his tether, which was not in any binder.

 

A workplace comedy, a sticky situationship and a reckoning, Danny Mercer Is Fine is about the people who keep everyone else’s chaos contained, and what it costs when their own gets out.

 

Danny had walked every minefield in every league. This one has his name on it.
