Your Least-Worst Bet for Superhero/Space Opera Comedy Gold
About In a Galaxy Far, Far AwRy
The galaxy's most unhinged lunatic just got his hands on an extinction-level death ray. And he's got an itchy trigger finger.
In the galaxy of Stratus Cloud, seven warring crime gangs run the underworld. That is until military turncoat Master Asinine hatches his most devious--and psychotic--scheme to date: uniting those gangs into a crushing force he calls, in his infinite absurdity, The Bad Guys. Stay classy, Master Asinine.
Now, with a death ray at his disposal, Asinine is in a position to conquer the galaxy. He's given everyone a four-day notice. And if nobody likes it...
...he'll nuke the galaxy instead.
The galaxy's only hope is Major Matross Legion, Master Asinine's former best friend, who must sidestep military injunctions to create an elite unit with special abilities to fight back.
Problem: Legion can't stand the sight of Asinine anymore. Bigger problem: That four-day notice is dwindling.
There's nothing more dangerous than a lunatic who controls all crime.
In a Galaxy Far, Far AwRy is an even mix of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Spaceballs, Avengers, and awkward eye contact from across crowded rooms.
And the book is low sodium, if it comes to that.

:: Book 25 is almost done!
- Body

The headline says it all. The big two-five is almost in your hands.
It's been a long year and a half. According to my super-amazing data-keeping skills, I had a blank first page for book 25 on July 6, 2021. I handed off the last draft of the last chapters to the beta readers on March 1, 2023. The whole thing took a lot outta me, and you've probably noticed the lack of updates on the site during that time. I'm wiped. I'm taking a break from writing the series for a little bit, but in the meantime, I'm always just a holler away for a chat.
All this to say that, though the first two parts of book 25 are already on the site, the last chunk isn't too far off. I'm expecting it to be available to you sometime this spring.
Thanks for sitting tight. I promise, the end isn't going to be a soft landing for the characters! Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed racking my brains over it.

Hey everyone, I noticed some weirdness in some of the original files of the ebooks, things that screwed up the software.

Word of spoilerage. I'm updating the character profiles and overall list to their current, book 23, status. So explore with caution. If you haven't read the entire series yet, have your mind wipe device handy.

Longish post here.
After a few burnouts and some time off, I'm back with a huge announcement. If you've been here before, you've heard me ramble on about how I've published books 0 to 6 of the series but have written up to book 23. After a ton of thought, a ton of caffeine, and maybe a food coma or two--maximum two this time--I've decided I will unleash the beast!
And by "unleash the beast," I mean I'm posting all ebooks here. Free. Of money. For all of you. Yeah, books 7 to 22 will appear on this site in the coming weeks. I don't want to mention a definite deadline, because there are still a couple of moving parts to consider, but soon enough, you'll all be able to read the series in its completeness for absolutely free.
The paperback publishing plan will be the same. As money comes in, I'll release the paperback copies. But as far as ebooks, they're here for you. They'll be undressed--a stock photo for a cover, no appendix material, etc.--but they'll be here. Just the story, the ebook formatting, and a few front- and back-material items.
You'll notice I said I'd release books 7 to 22 but I'd written up to book 23. What's up? I got book 23 back from my beta-reading gang not too long ago, so that still needs a bit of after-beta spit-shining. Book 23 will follow soon, but not immediately.
I'm really excited about this. I truly am. My dream has always been to share the stories with as many people who need a good laugh in a dark time as possible. My dream has never been about money. So I don't care about any lost revenue. I really, truly don't. The money I earn simply goes into covers, professional editing, and advertising. I don't care to swim in a pool of dollar bills.
If you have any questions or comments, really, please, feel free to shoot me an email. I always respond.
Thanks so much to everyone who's been with me so far. Hopefully, this idea takes In a Galaxy Far, Far AwRy to the next level!

:: Took previews off the site
- Body
-
Hola, mi amigos y amigas!
Unfortunately, I had to take the book previews off the site. What are the book previews? Those first chapters of each book given as a taste test for all you fine readers.
What prompted this? Well, sadly, Amazon's Internet creepy-crawlies scanned and snagged Armageddon Trigger Finger's preview chapter. So Amazon quickly blocked the ebook version from their site since a portion of it was given away for free online. (Never mind that this portion was equivalent to their Look Inside feature.) Don't worry. I've contacted the tech teams responsible, and the ebook should be up again soon. But that meant I had to take it--and the other previews, just so this wouldn't happen to the others--offline.
Good news in all this. This means that, hopefully, The Story So Far will be offered on Amazon in ebook format soon!
Sorry, folks! But, hey, if you want a quick sample of the books, feel free to check them out on Amazon's Look Inside.
