Ahab's Adventures In Wonderland Now On Sale
I'm very happy to announce that my mash-up novel, Ahab's Adventures In Wonderland is now available, exclusively at Amazon. As part of the debut, for a limited time, it will be available for $3.99.
Here's the description:
Captain Ahab, legendary farmer, loses his leg after an encounter with Moby Dick, the infamous white rabbit who has been terrorizing farms all across Massachusetts. Hellbent on revenge, he vows to hunt the rabbit wherever it may lead. With his crew in tow, he plunges down the rabbit hole and finds himself in the amazing world of Wonderland, where caucus races, mad tea parties, and croquet with the queen await.
A mashup of Moby Dick and Alice in Wonderland, Ahab's Adventures In Wonderland is an absurdist look at two legendary classics. You'll never view Wonderland the same again. With cover design and illustrations by Katie Morton.
I'm really excited about the novel, and I hope you'll take the time to check it out. Fans of Alice in Wonderland and Moby Dick will be especially pleased.

Alice With The Small Hands
She was a freak, her hands impossibly tiny. They all shunned her.
She dreamed her hands were larger than they actually appeared, shrunk on their way through the looking glass, but life was no wonderland.
Her grandmother made her believe. There was always a logic to God's madness, a meaning behind her abomination.
And then, the clockwork men attacked, their precision machinery working in time to destroy the Earth. Alice, only her tiny hands able to fit inside, saved humanity. Her day had arrived.
They still shunned her. Even her grandmother. Her purpose had been served, praise be to God.
Banner In Wonderland
Wonderland had an open door policy for precocious girls and white rabbits, and the occasional opium rattled mathematician slipped through, but for anyone else, you needed a special invitation from the Queen herself.
After last Tuesday's devastation, fingers immediately started pointing in multiple directions at once. An inquiry was to be held, and the Mad Hatter was arranging everything himself.
"When I say time, you must hold the inquiry," ordered the Hatter.
"How can I hold an inquiry when I haven't any hands," demanded the Cheshire Cat.
"Use your teeth. Someone must be punished for allowing Dr. Banner into Wonderland."
