A MAN FOR OUR SLIPPERY TIMESEDMUND LOVENIGHT would much rather party in Soho with the Dalai Lama than actually, you know, work.

Together with a stoned film student and a surly talking pug named 'Noodles', can Lovenight and Reg save the universe? Or will they muck it up? And will Lovenight ever get back to that swinging party in Soho?Slippery Times is a cross-dimensional romp, packed with irreverence, glee, and several new and innovative cuss-words.

That is, until Patty receives a mysterious job offer, assisting an elderly Matriarch in the running and maintenance of a remote home owned by the Morgan Family, as well as tending to the two orphaned Morgan girls. However, Patty soon discovers that things are not as they seem, as she soon starts to uncover the dark history of the Morgan Home and the even darker secrets that are hidden in the Family's history.
For millenia all around the earth stories have persisted of a flood that brought the human race to the brink of extinction. Deep in the heart of the Indonesian rainforest a man believes he has found the vessel that carried the survivors of this great flood to safety. Now he must trace this lost civilization''s journey to save the woman that he loves...and possibly...the world. Part fantasy, part action adventure; Covenant: Exodus explores the hidden world of ancient societies, mythology, religion, magic, unexplained mysteries, and the history that our modern civilization has all but forgotten.Noahim, the high priest of an order of gifted men in the civilization of Atla believes that he has witnessed an event that is the harbinger of a great coming catastrophe. Many of the citizens of Atla see Nohaim as the fulfillment of the prophecy, "There will be one born with the gift so strong the BalaRa will seek them out when they are still a child. This one will command the true Ari''Yet. This one will drink from the Jala''Kim. This one will be the savior of Atla. This one will be the seed of humanity." Now he must convince the rest of the Mul''Ki that he is indeed the fulfillment of the prophecy so that they can work together to save their people.10,000 years later Erich Lawrence discovers the remains of the Atlan civilization deep in the jungles of Indonesia. With the help of a wealthy investor a giant museum is constructed to display what is being heralded as the greatest discovery of all time, but just as the museum is about to be opened Erich is visited by someone from his past that reveals that the discovery has a dangerous past, and if they aren''t unable to decipher the clues that the Atlans left behind, a very dangerous future. Covenant Exodus weaves mythology, real world archaeology and science, ancient mysteries, and magic together in a race to find this lost civilization before it''s too late.
"Absurd. Existential. Ridiculous. Tragic. Comic. The antiheroes of "I Don''t Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room" are a kind of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with space packs, inadvertently colliding with their destinies against a starry background of witty wordplay. With a vision as sprawling and limitless as the loveably goofy universe in which it''s set, Browning''s wit, wisdom and heart are always at play, combining to form a wonderfully panoramic and very silly heroes'' journey that visits every trope of its overlapping genres and draws moustaches on all of them."- Marcel St. Pierre, author of "Vengeful Hank" and "Cliché and Wind Go Hitchhiking".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.
