In a ruined future split between those who have and those who do not, America has contracted like a singularity into a single city. There, citizens live under a divided society, split by five walls. At the center, their depraved leader, Gideon, rules with the iron fisted reach of propaganda and an oppressive governmental agency. 
Outside the city walls Penny, an adopted young girl, farms one ranch of many that provides food to the citizens of Mercury. There she has learned self reliance, and the ability to fix just about anything. Her family and identity are shattered when agents of the city come to collect. Once everything has been taken from her, she sets out for a technologically advanced city on horseback to get revenge. 
The whole of Mercury's government wants justice for her crimes, searching for her to put her in The Bowl, a futuristic automotive endurance race to the death where winning is the only way to escape the clutches of Mercury. Running from agents of the State along the way she meets other outcasts as she takes a journey that will redefine who she is, and answer the unknown questions about her strange and hidden origin. 
The Penrose Triangle is book 1 in an in progress series by Dystopian author, Kris Clewell. Book 2 is in progress for a 2025 Release.

Leacock’s Point: A Treasury of Wit and Satire 
Step into the whimsical and wonderfully absurd world of Stephen Leacock, Canada’s beloved humorist. This carefully curated collection brings together twelve of his most delightful short stories from Frenzied Fiction (1918), Literary Lapses (1910), Nonsense Novels (1911), and Moonbeams from the Larger Lunacy (1915). Whether skewering the pretentiousness of academia, playfully mocking social conventions, or embracing the sheer joy of nonsense, Leacock’s tales remain as fresh and comical today as when they first captivated readers over a century ago. 
With his trademark blend of dry wit, exaggerated scenarios, and keen observational humor, Leacock takes us on a journey through the absurdities of life. From clueless professors to bumbling businessmen. Often himself on bizarre adventures, each story is a masterclass in comedic storytelling. 
This collection is perfect for lovers of classic humor and literary satire; it showcases the genius of Stephen Leacock at his best. Whether you're revisiting his work or encountering it for the first time, prepare for a dose of humor that stands the test of time.

When the body of Harry Injurides - playwright, provocateur and bodybuilder - washes up on a beach, his friends are shocked, but not altogether surprised. But when they meet to mourn Harry, he shows up and says he’s been resurrected.  
Pharoni is the story of those friends. Tommy Pharoni tries to overcome his shock by writing about his friend’s resurrection, and accidentally starts a religion. Roy Sudden starts a tech empire based on digital empathy and digital pain, drawing in billionaire investors, femme-fatale programmers, and tsunamis of capital. And, Roy’s on-again, off-again girlfriend Maud works in secret to bring radical justice to the most neglected and abused corners of society.  
As Tommy’s religion grows, Roy and his backers try to take control of it. The battle, about more than doctrine, engulfs Tommy’s marriage and threatens his life, leading to a conflict with strangely humane results that no one could predict. 
Completely fresh and utterly surprising, Pharoni is an off-the-wall novel that will keep you scratching your head until the last unpredictable scene. - INDIES TODAY (5/5 STARS) 
Filled with fascinating ideas… technology transmitting pain… that a modern-day religion would be subsumed into corporate “wellness” … he writes about them with zest. - INDIE READER 
A mercurial story that takes many satisfyingly surprising twists and turns… religious, social, psychological, and criminal processes come to life… intrigue and wry humor… a strange journey, indeed. - MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW 
Pharoni, with its philosophical and social commentary, shows the face of the world that we often ignore… captures readerly attention until the very end - INDEPENDENT BOOK REVIEW

Hello again! It's still me, Max, and I'm still one of the Selected! 
 
 
 
I hope that by now you've lost any illusions you had about the Selected being some kind of elite force of intelligent civilization, chosen to fight against Universal Evil. 
 
 
 
So far, the only evil I've seen is the buggy System and the lack of basic sanitary facilities while we're adventuring. Also, it would be a real stretch to describe my companions as "elite". As for all the problems that come with being Selected—well, we can handle them! 
 
 
 
So, everybody was trying to set us up? To hell with them! Yes, we're all on our own, but now we have our very own Dungeon—we just have to get those dumb gnomes to work for us. Oh, and find out more about these goblins that swiped our waystone . . .
