Novels

My main project is Les Pages aux Folles, which features short satirical fiction in a variety of forms. However, I know some readers are hung up on plot and character and shi - shtuff...stuff like that. If you're one of those people (it's okay; I don't judge), I also write novels. Eight have been published in the Transdimensional Authority/Multiverse series. They include:

Bad Actors: The Multiverse Refugees Trilogy: Second Pi in the Face

Books2Read

The seventh novel in my Transdimensional Authority/Multiverse series published by Elsewhen Press and the second in the Alien Refugees Trilogy, Bad Actors takes place two years after the first novel, Good Intentions. Thousands of aliens from a dying universe have immigrated to Earth Prime. How have we treated them? You know us - how do you think we treated them? Elsewhen Press web site

There are also five collections of reports from a universe where the United States of Vesampucceri is the world's leading idiotocracy, which, as you might imagine, is government by the stupidest people. The first three coollections, ARNS and the Man, E Deplorables Unum and Anels of Our Bitter Natures have been collected into the single volume Idiotocracy for Dummies. You and What Universe?/That's When Everything Went Cow-shaped and Welcome to the Insurrection (We're NOT Sorry for the Inconvenience) have been collected in Advanced Idiotocracy for Dummies.

Yes, I am aware that all of the text in these books is already freely available on this very web site. But...but...print! With covers and everything!
