"Kirk Sterling loves his wife.  He loves his dog.  He loves his house.

He also loves to draw.  Without tooting his own horn, he’s very artistic.  His drawings are very lifelike.

But as he gets older, his artistic talents take a back seat to the daily grind of adulthood.

That is, until one day he receives an unexpected package in the mail.

 Catastrophic Assembly Required is a fun, quirky tale of mystical intrigue, of a heartfelt romantic."
