Times are hard at Dwayne's Dogs, once the premier hot dog stand in the popular tourist destination of Buttmouth Bay. When the council threatens to revoke his street trading licence, Herb realises the time has come to open the sealed envelope bequeathed by his late father in case the family business should ever face mortal peril.
Following his father's vague instructions, Herb journeys with his grill cook to a distant land in search of the lost ingredient for his father's famous hot dog relish. Instead, they find a secret in the desert that poses a threat to humanity itself...
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey! :) This novel is a kind of meandering adventure comedy, with the occasional glob of pseudo-philosophical gloom spliced in between the wackiness.
There are some mentions of suicide (nothing graphic), hence the 'mature' rating. There is also some infrequent swearing, but mostly I try to keep things light. I'm very sorry, but there is no sexual content. :(
If you decide to read anyway, enjoy!
Best wishes,
Sweaty Dave

Implements and Elements: A Very Peculiar Tale
So, your planet sort of fell apart, your waitress job evaporated and then the homeless types in the remains of the nearby National Park burned most of your home for firewood. So you moved to another planet... Except when you get there, you're the only human in a puzzling new landscape of fantastical beasts from every fairy tale and myth on Earth. And -- as fate would have it -- you still end up being a waitress. Meet Poppy -- she's that one human in Northtown, on the planet of Forever. As if this new world weren't enough; suddenly "people" start dying and Poppy's involved whether she wants to be or not. Poppy also has some very confusing magical powers, interesting new friends, a mysterious benefactor and an evil entity now called Yours Truly has noticed her arrival on Forever, too... THANK YOU for reading my novel! It is my sincere hope that -- although being a real life waitress is grand and nothing to shake a fork at -- I will someday be an author. I am honored that you would take the time to enter my world :) Note: This is a complete novel I am sending to a prospective publisher in October. Comments and critiques are more than welcome. Second note: This book includes some swear words, drug and alcohol references, sexual innuendo and mature themes, but nothing terribly graphic.Complete

Being Butch Green || ✓
An extremely dangerous file. An awkward teenager (who'd rather think of himself as the badboy of nerds). A converted, somewhat nice criminal. And an illegal medical lab. All is not what it seems when seventeen-year-old Butch breaks himself out of the local police station, making a somewhat daring run for it with his criminal file. There's just one tiny problem...he grabbed the wrong file and now the police are hunting him down. On a single chance encounter with his estranged brother Jack, who went awol when he was twelve, Butch never expected his luck to turn so horribly wrong. As the dynamically-misconstructed duo venture off in a game of Dodging Death across the countyside, Butch never expected his plans to return the stolen file to go so terribly wrong... Just what did he get himself into? A journey for all those who understand what being an awkward teenager with some wrongs to right is like. _____________________________________ {Completed} *Featured on the following Wattpad official profiles:* - Secret Treasures: The World is a Big Place (YA) - New Adult: It's All Because of the Hormones (Teen Fiction) - Adventure: The Adrenaline Rush - Humor: Hitting the Fun Hard Warning: This story does contain mild-moderate course language, some graphic violence and a lot of sarcasm as a means to portray characters.Complete
