Novel idea!!! That may come in handy.

I must get your "The Life & Mimes (& Zombie Apocalypse) of Ripper the Clown" now that it has been brought to my attention!!!

Thank you! I look forward to picking up a few of your books to read :)

Thanks for being my friend

Hi Jake, thanks for friending.

"In various circles, I'm known as the guy who has the best and/or worst of luck. Playfully, yet with a hint of seriousness, I've been called 'cursed.' Others call it a blessing. From running into a long, lost friend on the streets of a foreign metropolis
to having a notorious, internationally-wanted criminal sit next to me during a screening of Metropolis, my luck—my hapless adventures—have become the stuff of local legend. Or so I'm told." (page 2)

"As a result of this pathetic lack of bravery, in the scheme things, we could never be considered The A-Team or anything even close for that matter. We’d
probably be considered the L, M or possibly even N-Team but never the A. I guess life isn’t like the TV shows we grew up watching." (page 189)

New Amazon review: "I had intended to read this book a couple of stories at a time, but once I started I couldn't put it down. Each story was fun and delightfully weird, and I found myself laughing out loud more than once. From Juggalos to classic film stars to bad dates, Jake Aurelian tackles each subject with cleverness and good humor, making every single story funny and unique. I found this book beyond refreshing--while many anthologies are a mixed bag, Mr. Aurelian put so much care and effort into each of his stories that I enjoyed all of them. I highly recommend this book, and hope to read more from the author in the future."

And likewise, Thank you! I'm pretty new to Good Reads, so I'm trying to learn the proverbial ropes!

Review: "Aurelian's writing never failed to make me smile. The crazy scenarios somehow parallel with events of my own life, and Aurelian's immaculate writing gave me pictures so clear that I could have sworn they were flashbacks to my own memory."

"I saw a trampled, ramshackled political sign that read: 'Write in Alexander 'Alex’ Mackintosh Zakrzedovowski for Sheriff!” (page 31)

"I had an epiphany that many people should come with required reading, like college classes where you’re forced to purchase $300 worth of texts. And like academic courses, some required readings could seem pointless at the time but later, may become overwhelmingly relevant. In the case of many of the folks I’ve had the displeasure of encountering, their collective required reading should be Abnormal Psychology, 10th edition" (page 30)
