The Best Laid Plans of Vegetation and Cybernetic Beings
If you love Star Trek and parodies... If the Orville and Galaxy Quest give you as much joy as Wrath of Khan... If you believe (as Tumblr users do) that humans will rule the galaxy because we are the only species crazy enough to tie two warp cores together, reverse the polarity and toss them into a star just to see what will happen... then this is the book for you. These are the voyages of the HMB Impulsive. This episode: The HMB Impulsive has a routine diplomatic mission - to assist two warring planets to achieve peace through marriage by ferrying the prince to his wedding. But when the prince falls for the ship's sexy (yes, that's her title), and the Cybers attack, it's far from routine. Can the crew of the Impulsive apply human hold-my-beer ingenuity to save the day and the wedding? (This story is found in my collection, Space Traipse: Hold My Beer, Season 1, on Amazon)Concluída

I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room
"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!

The Misadventures of Captain Clueless
Jax "Lucky" Larsen is a small-time con artist who's spent his life bluffing his way through bad decisions and unpaid bar tabs. But when a misunderstanding (and maybe a little fraud) lands him in the captain's seat of the Celestial Phoenix a long-lost, legendary spaceship suddenly, the entire galaxy thinks he's some kind of tactical genius. With a mismatched crew who actually believes in him (for now), an AI with major attitude, and bounty hunters, warlords, and cosmic bureaucrats hot on their trail, Jax has only one mission: keep up the act and stay alive. But there's just one problem-the Celestial Phoenix isn't just any ship... it's the key to an ancient secret that could change the fate of the universe. And the people looking for it? Yeah, they're not big on second chances. Armed with quick wit, terrible decision-making skills, and an impressive ability to avoid responsibilities, Jax must outsmart, outbluff, and (if all else fails) outrun every danger the galaxy throws at him. Because if there's one thing he's learned in life, it's this: when in doubt, fake it till you make it... or at least until someone else takes the blame.Concluída

Forrest and Sujay: On Top of Your Mom! (Horsemen Origins Book 2)
Two jokester smugglers escape the clutch of a mob boss only to crash on a world under siege. Can they find the courage to join the resistance and break the blockade? Jack Forrest is a reckless fighter pilot who's too focused on making 'your mom' jokes. Sujay Malak is a brilliant but cowardly astro-navigator. The two men are the galaxy's most renowned 'blockade runners,' smugglers who're capable of outrunning any Core fleet. The dynamic duo are being hunted by the nefarious mobster Kingsman for their outstanding debts, but due to a tip, the two men race off to the peaceful world Alcyone. When they arrive, Alcyone is not as it seems. Normally a sanctuary for pacifists and pristine beauty, the planet is being held under siege. Forrest and Sujay are attacked by a fleet of Core fighters and while they manage to escape, they crash land deep in the frozen north. They're rescued by the leader of the resistance, a fellow smuggler named Tim Riley. Riley implores the two to join in his cause, promising them riches beyond their wildest dreams, but there is something unsettling about the quiet paradise. The two men must discover the courage to stand up for the little guy...and that they may not get rich in the process. This fast-paced, hilarious tale of misadventure was written in the spirit of Alexander Freed's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Timothy Zahn's Star Wars: Scoundrels.Concluída
I Am in an Alien Prison
Alex, a 29-year-old gym coach from Mumbai, is the self-proclaimed "Mumbai Maverick"-single, enthusiastic, and a natural at any sport, from cricket to sprints. His life of coaching clients, cracking puns, and chasing personal bests on late-night Juhu Beach runs takes a wild turn when a blinding flash yanks him into the Arkvault, a seven-mile-long alien ship in deep space. Labeled Specimen 47, Alex finds himself in a cosmic prison alongside 100 young humans and 5,000 diverse alien species, each housed in tailored sectors. The ship's towering, robotic aliens provide food, clothing, and an Earth-like atmosphere, but their motive for collecting specimens remains a mystery. Armed with a painless, embedded bracelet that translates all languages and grants low-level ship access, Alex navigates this interstellar zoo with his trademark humor and athletic grit. As he befriends humans and quirky aliens-some friendly, some grumpy-he discovers the aliens are tiny creatures piloting robotic suits for show, a secret they bribe him to keep with promises of freedom and friendship. Alex, uniquely compatible with alien tech and abilities, earns a bio-suit that adapts to any environment and other powers through quests, from telepathy to super strength. But the Arkvault's faster-than-light tech means Earth has aged beyond recognition. Embracing his new life, Alex's adventure blends laugh-out-loud antics with the poignant reality of a home he can't return to, forging a path as the ultimate cosmic survivor.

Despite the danger, Neil thinks he's finally found a home and friends.

After stumbling into the plot, Neil is forced to risk the friendships and home he's gained because if the traitors succeed, Space City will end up a husk, and he'll be dead or stranded millions of miles from Earth.Concluída
