"This book speaks to anyone with a neurodivergent brain, that may feel like an alien here on earth. I swear Browning made me laugh and cry and question reality...sometimes all in the same sentence." -JD Todd, author The universe is a very strange place. It will take even stranger heroes to save it. Potto is dim-witted, extremely forgetful and incredibly naïve. He wasn't always this way. Aye-Aye is devilishly shrewd and has boozed his way into a comfortable existence of incompetence and sleaze. How they ended up being two of the most wanted aliens in the galaxy is anyone's guess. Chased down by every oddball bounty hunter in the known universe, and befriended by a libidinous assassin, a fire-breathing reptilian, and a telepathic tree, their misadventures take them past Earth (the mall planet), to a floating sex circus, a planet of killer stuffed animals, an underground spaceship impound lot, and to a planet of reasonably priced bungalows. All while flying around in a ship powered by the brain waves of a psycho killer. A great prophecy proclaims that only "one of light, and one of dark" can save the universe from the dictatorship of The Node. That can't be Potto and Aye...Potto doesn't know what the word prophecy means, and neither know how to spell it. Part sci-fi epic, part absurd dark comedy, I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room is a comment on human behavior, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. But way more fun than that sounds. So, do up your space seatbelts...it's going to be a bumpy ride. Despite the lack of potholes in space. (Sci-fi /Dark Humour/Absurd) *Completed! Enjoy!

A galactic future of human expansion, alien intervention, and infinite possibilities... Morrigan, a pirate captain getting a bit bored with managing her crew and longing for the outlaw dreams of adventure, finds herself in a bar with a drunk woman who claims to be God. And, more importantly, she claims she can take Morrigan to the mythical centre of the universe, where all your wildest dreams can be reality. Noel, an overworked and under-appreciated planetary bio-inspector, is going through the motions, ensuring planets set for destruction and core mining don't have intelligent or high potential life on them when he begins to suspect one of the companies isn't playing by the rules, and is mining planets regardless of what might get killed, setting him on a mission to go outside his pay. Without knowing, the two will collide and their lives will merge together in a race for the soul of the universe itself.
