In her best-selling book, LEAN IN, Sheryl Sandberg urges women to develop more confidence in their relationships and strive to make bigger contributions in the business world. In L.A. Knight's debut novel, DOG TRAINING THE AMERICAN MALE, the author adds rocket fuel to the concept by weaving a hilarious "tail" about a frustrated career woman who "leans in" by using dog training techniques to domesticate her live-in boyfriend and turn her radio talk show ratings around.

For women, the book is an empowering lesson in controlling the male ego.

For men -"it's a fun read because...well, because it's true," says the author.

"Men really are dogs," says L.A. Knight. "The average American male would rather sit on the couch all day, scratch his privates and sleep. Who among us hasn't performed for a treat, peed on a tree, dry-humped a woman's leg, howled at the moon, stuck his nose in a groin or two, or inspected his own bowel movement before flushing? As a dog owner, I know that when my wife had our dogs trained they became more content, were less anxious, and they even lost weight. I say bring it on...just go easy on the electric shock collar."

Knight received offers from several major publishing houses for DOG TRAINING, as well as interest from a screenwriter to adapt the novel as a script; instead this first time author opted to debut his romantic comedy as an e-book.

"My father believed laughter is the best medicine. He gave me my sense of humor and a lifetime of love and wisdom and left us far too soon. This book was my therapy in dealing with his passing from cancer. A percentage of the e-book proceeds will go to ZapCancer.org and an exciting new FDA-approved human trial using a protocol that can cure solid tumor cancers like the one that took my father's life. For $2.99 you can get a much-needed laugh and help cure cancer - it's better than a happy meal."
