"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!

In the town of Little Creek, there resides a meager population of 679 people. There are two elementary schools, one public high school, two gas stations, and one street corner cafe that's the only place in town where you can order something that's double-fried and loaded with salt. There are three churches, something the adults of the town praise as an invaluable highlight and something most of the younger population heave a sigh at. In short, everything is painfully underwhelming and average. At least, it WAS average until an angel came hurtling through the stained-glass window of Saint Thomas's Cathedral on a Saturday evening. How do I know it's not some wack story that half-crazed 83-year-old Mrs. Henshore imagined as she was rolling her rosary beads between her fingers during service? Because I was there, and I know that everything I saw is true. I always thought angel visits to earth were supposed to be considered miracles; a sign of good will from the big man himself. I never thought it would unleash hell on earth.
