The latest news...

My novel-in-progress for NaNoWriMo.

I have very high hopes for this one. Here's a brief synopsis:

• A seemingly ordinary doctor meets an extraordinary group of people:
• A Goddess who rules the realm of illusion and reality. If she offers a blue marble, it's in your best interest to accept it.
• A witch's familiar, a man who turns into a broomstick by night (or perhaps he a broomstick who turns into a man by day). The last thing he was expecting was to fall in love.
• An ostrich man who sells newspapers on the strangest street corner in the world
• A six-armed girl who delivers newspapers, writes multiple novels simultaneously, and is a superhero in her spare time.
• A scientist who runs a laboratory/orphanage for folks who are a little different He suffers from autassassinophilia and has erotic fantasies about being murdered by the secret agent who has been targeting the demi-humans.
• A woman who transforms into a blue jay and flies.
• A fox-woman who runs a tavern on the strangest street in the world.
• A man who is bodily experiencing human de-evolution, and has the monkey tail to prove it.
• A government agent with strange secrets of his own, and orders to take down all of above.

These mysterious people become part of Dr. Fountainbrew's world and within a few days turn it completely upside down. He is faced with a choice to join them, but is not informed of the consequences if he refused.
