A free sample of my recently published novel!
We've all had moments when we thought we were surrounded by idiots, but Babylon Briggs feels that pain every day of his life. That's because his town, his world, even his galaxy is jam-packed of the most thick-headed simpletons ever. When his planet is invaded by a group of equally clueless conquerors, it's up to Babylon to save the day. The only question: is he smart enough?

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)Complete
