In some eccentric corners of Cape Cod, away from the tourist traps and clam beds, conspiracy theories are more than an internet pastime—they're a way of life. After a bizarre incident at a local diner, Ken Wakeman, a skeptical UFOlogist, and his quirky sidekick, Noodles, find themselves caught in the dark web of the M-Oron network and a shadowy government agency known as OCULUS.
Alien crystals become the new stimulant of choice, transforming those who come in contact with them into intellectual elitists with a taste for jazz. Reporter Melissa "Mel" Howard struggles with the crystals dark side, while conspiracy talk show host Zeke Brandon undergoes a transformation that no one could have predicted.
But when Derek Ungluck, identified as ’The Last Stupid Man On Earth’ resists conforming to the new world order, Ken and Mel must combat this last refuge of irrationality. Is the dream of an intellectual utopia just that—a dream? Dive into this satirical sci-fi adventure, where conspiracy, comedy, and cosmic interference collide.
High Strangeness
Science Fiction
Something strange has arrived on Cape Cod, and it’s not just the UFOs.
Ken Wakeman, a skeptical UFOlogist who seeks the truth about paranormal phenomenon, struggles to discredit the myriad of crackpot theories out there. Melissa "Mel" Howard, a reporter for a small Cape Cod newspaper, copes with the seasonal tourist invasion and its accompanying anxieties. When the Cape becomes the national focus over a rash of UFO sights, they join forces to get to the bottom it.
Despite denials from town officials and the military that UFOs have landed, mass hysteria overcomes the seaside community. In addition to the frantic humans, Astro, Ken’s Golden Retriever has also been acting strangely.
Joining the invasion is Klick, the promiscuous leader of a spandex-clad UFO cult whose members want to “amalgamate” with the Fornacisians when their spaceship lands. Mel learns that when dealing with wing nuts, the truth isn’t necessarily “out there”. Tom Frasier, an infamous proponent of crashed saucers and frozen alien bodies, claims the local military base houses some intriguing secrets. After a visit from the FBI gives legitimacy to Tom’s story, Ken will ultimately decide how far he’s willing to go to witness humanity’s greatest close encounter.

Would you like a couch with that painting?
Obscurity is a way of life for Gavin Vonn Getch, a painter who works at a frame shop in a small New England town. His life changes when billionaire Gary Eastman enters his shop and becomes the ultimate patron: a lifetime commission for all his work in exchange for a crap-load of money.
Some of his artist buddies envy him and others think he’s sold out. Curious as to where his paintings are being displayed, he makes a trip to the DLC headquarters, where a shocking discovery forces him to reevaluate his deal with Eastman and his identity as an artist.
Why does an artist create? What alternatives are there to completely selling out? Is there no genius—only marketing? The book is a satirical, and sometimes surreal look at the art world.
