REALITY GONE WRONG

Andrew Parker

Dr. Blake Brimstone is on a mission to end the suffering of the disabled.




Blake is a world famous brain surgeon who suffers from cerebral palsy. No, early-onset Alzheimer’s. Or maybe he’s just drunk. He can’t remember and only knows he wants to help the handicapped who suffer like he does. Luckily, his psychiatrist, Dr. Stork Stiltson, is ready to help. The man is seven-feet tall with a two-foot torso, five-foot legs, four arms, one huge eye, huge lips, nose, and head. Dr. Stiltson suffers from anhedonia, an inability to feel pleasure, which uniquely qualifies him to take Blake on an odyssey of blindness, deafness, paraplegia, terminal illness, psychosis, and many other wretched conditions of the human experience. As Blake continues his journey, he wonders if he’ll share forever the fate of the children of a crappy god.

REALITY GONE WRONG is a 75,000 word satire about life.








 

Robots Running Wild

Andrew Parker

A lunatic is bombing buildings with robots.


Wham! Mary and Tommy can’t walk after a car crash so Uncle Frank gives them robots. They sit at their computers and control the big machines that attend sixth grade in their place.

That soon gets boring so they send the robots exploring. Right off they spot a purse snatcher and chase him down. The next day their robots stop a bank robbery. They take bullies to the principal, rescue a lady trapped under a car, and even collect money for a homeless friend.

The fun runs nonstop until a lunatic starts bombing buildings with suicide robots and gives Mary and Tommy their greatest challenge.

ROBOTS RUNNING WILD is a 65,000-word middle grade novel that explores alcoholism, helping others, homelessness, bullying, infidelity, rage, and many other such issues.

I gave this book an easy six stars. It's a bit like eating exquisite ice cream that's good for you. As this author completes the final manuscript, though, I hope he gives his complete attention to the subject of self editing. Unlike the H.C. editor, I did spot a small typo in the third chapter.

At first I was confused as to why this book wasn't on the desk by now. It's a gripping survival story and I love survival stories. But then I saw that it's already been published and that comments about Game Changer were preferred. All right, I'll have a look at it. view book

CLOG review of Going Afterlife This book is well on its way to the desk, but that’s no guarantee the H.C. editors will like it. Maybe they will. I’m not sure. It’s well-polished and the changes made to the first chapter are an improvement. It’s more interesting to me because it’s got more Denton ... view book

Dostoyevsky was a scorched human being who cried out to the entire world. His writing screamed with a realism that reached down into the essence of human existence. He used his head to write from the heart. In The Idiot, he said, “A fool with a heart and no sense is just as unhappy as a fool with se... view book
