Crap Beyond Earth
Set in the same universe as Glow City Drifter and The Smell Of Success, in the neon-drenched megacity of Gastiago, the future runs on glowing tattoos, naked normalcy... and women's perfectly processed poops. When lazy-cynic Whitney Lumer accidentally produces a bio-disc powerful enough to jumpstart the Space Elevator, she and her bubbly-optimist best friend Tricia Phorxman are thrust into cosmic absurdity, bureaucratic absurdity, and a very messy kind of heroism. ⚠️ Warning ⚠️ This story contains unapologetic amounts of toilet humor, nudity, and futuristic absurdity. Characters literally poop into machines. If the idea of crap being treated as an energy source makes you gag instead of giggle, this story may not be for you.Complete
Stellar Objects
When orphaned siblings Andra and Grunge are abducted from the landfill site they call home, they are pressed into service on the HMS Ghandi with three teenage aliens where they form a surrogate family in an unfair universe. PARTY OF FIVE meets GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY....a love letter to space faring #ScienceFiction. Highest Science Fiction Ranking: #1 (that was a pretty awesome day!!!) I wrote STELLAR OBJECTS to explore the nature of family, through the lens of science fiction genre. It combines everything I love about scifi, drama, coming of age, and attempts to push the boundaries of (intergalactic) diversity and the very essence of inclusivity. I'm a published author and I shared this book with a handful of publishers, one of whom called it "too diverse." Somewhat in anger, and also in protest, I decided to share it with the wattpad community and I've been thrilled that it's found a global readership here. This is an unedited book, so comments are welcome, as are constructive criticisms. I hope you love reading STELLAR OBJECTS as much as I loved writing it. Namaste, JeffComplete
