M. X. Kelly

I write because I have an itch in my mind that only a pen can scratch.

Working on novel "The Strange Blue Days of Dr. Fountainbrew" and short stories "The Imaginary Motorbike," "The Merman Who Rose from the Sea, Ungracefully" and "Particle Girl Theory." Illegitimate love child of a star mage and a dragon-knight. Drenched in the black ink of my fantasist ancestors .

My novel-in-progress.

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.
