Ming Charles writes humorous books (at least that's the aim} as a public service—mainly to help people (and himself) survive the relentless bad news cycle without spontaneously combusting. Armed with a pen (metaphorical), an overactive imagination, and an industrial-strength coffee addiction, Ming crafts stories that offer readers a temporary escape hatch from reality. When he's not busy turning everyday chaos into comedy, he can be found practicing his Olympic-level procrastination skills and pretending that ignoring news alerts counts as self-care. His mission: to make sure there are still some like-minded people out there.
