De la Sole

A story about the right people, the wrong reasons and some shoes.

"Stupendous. My two-year old laughed so hard, she threw her back out."

—Anissa Powell-Brisette, Vancouver, BC

"Funny, original and outrageous. A story that even the ugly will enjoy."

—Olivia Dunkley, London, England

"As a life-long victim of both plus-size discrimination and marching band intolerance, I celebrate the chance to see someone else get whaled on."

—Jonah Streckwood, Decatur, IL

"Honked up. For no tale will better hilarify your buttocks and electrify the prancing of your thighs."

—James Wiggles, Stenwick, VL

"Dark, twisted and salty. Not unlike the box of Pennsylvania Dutch pretzels I polished off while reading."

—Frank Marinaco. Philadelphia, PA

About the Author

Lisa Dempsey is the author of De la Sole. 

Dempsey originally hails from Philadelphia, PA. In the last ten years, she has lived in cities such as New York, NY, Geneva, Switzerland and Toronto, ON, moving ostensibly for “work.” Her true motive, however, has been to travel the world to mainstream the word hoagie.

She is proud of her 100-page humorous novella, particularly its wildly popular, original cover design, for which Ames Bros in Seattle, WA keeps receiving all of their well-deserved credit.

De la Sole is Dempsey’s first book. Although the characters of De la Sole are entirely fictitious, they prefer the less discriminatory term imaginary, as they are alive and well and living in the author’s head.
