About this ebook
The world’s first pregnant virgin in over 2000 years lives in Missoula, Montana. Her nomadic best friend is wallowing in the fallout of a disastrous Las Vegas love affair when she asks him to come back home for the miraculous birth. Now he has no choice but go back to the one town he can't ever seem to stay away from. Smashing Laptops is a romance with wanderlust among a community of guerrilla artists, gnostic magicians, and fly-fishing fanatics peering over the edge of the millennium, as rotary phones and telephone poles slowly disintegrate into the 21st century.
"Wagner's book is beautifully written, and true, and filled with serious tenderness... You can see the words of certain passages scrawled in a notebook before they've been transcribed. It's the sort of writing that can only come from experience, given to us raw and unfiltered with a charm that requires only a little prodding to fall for." -Molly Laich, Missoula Independent

Though he has worked extensively in comics, film and theatre, prose remains his true and abiding love.The author of four novels and dozens of short stories, Wagner’s work has been described as surreal and fantastic, metafictional and paradoxical, poetic and whimsical. His stories have been published by Cafe Irreal, Not One of Us, Cleaver Magazine, Medulla Review, Lovecraft eZine, and Image Comics. He is facinated by rhizomes, paradoxes, things left unsaid and the ambiguities tucked inside longing and motivation.
