A kingdom. A curse. And a girl running from her past. When an illness affecting magic-users begins to sweep through her city, Orianne is tasked to go to the Quercian Forest to steal the healing stones from the Quercians that contain the power to heal the mages. When the guild leader, Remo does something unforgiveable, Orianne travels to the forest of her own accord to repair the damage he's caused. What she finds is a forest that is dealing with its own dark curse - one that she must break in order to win the healing stones needed to save her friends and family. On her journey, she forges new friendships and discovers some surprising things about herself. Orianne must make difficult decisions, and face her ultimate fears in order to succeed in her mission - but success may be measured in different ways than she originally thought. Cover by @mulanjiang

"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!
