He never imagined he’d be playing God that day.
Brian Partridge leapt at the chance to buy the personal property of his favorite historical author following his death, although what he received was far more than he bargained for. It didn’t take him long to discover just how the author was able to write scenes from the past with such accuracy.
Of course, Brian was familiar with time machines in movies, but that was fictional—not real—and yet, before him stood one of his very own. He knew he shouldn’t step inside and turn it on, but the temptation was more than he could bear.
Following in his hero’s footsteps, Brian starts off on an adventure that he could never have imagined, although the dream begins to drift into a nightmare as he encounters dangers more than he can handle. Now he’s barely one step ahead of the FBI, who would love to get their hands on the man swirling his finger in the sands of time.

Note from the author: This is a dark and gritty reboot of the humorous Crimson Deathbringer series. Please see “From the Author” for more information. If you’ve read and enjoyed the original series, I don’t think you should read this; you’ll probably hate it. On the other hand, if you read The Crimson Deathbringer and liked the story but not the comedy, maybe give this version a chance.

The Days After The Music Died is a Dystopian novel about a post EMP world. A family struggles to escape the madness that is burning the cities and reach a refuge they established on a Mississippi River island. October second appeared to have the makings of a nice day even though Richard Erickson wouldn’t be able to enjoy much of it. He would soon be starting a twelve hour shift in the Emergency Room at San Francisco County Hospital. The young man would complete his medical internship in eleven months. Richard’s day began at seven, when he showered, dressed, and stopped by Mickey D’s for breakfast. By the time he reached the Bay Bridge, the sun was breaking through the fog, and the Oldies Rock on his special playlist had just finished Buddy Holly’s “Peggy Sue”. Halfway through his second cup of coffee, with the stereo now playing Richi Valens “La Bamba”, Richard felt that life was good. As he approached the Treasure Island exit, the Tahoe died, along with the stereo. Taking a quick look at the gas gauge, he saw the whole panel was dead. Coasting to the curb, he noticed that his car was not the only one stopped. Nothing was moving.“Oh Shit. its really hit the fan!” he exclaimed. A quick check of his iPhone revealed that it too was dead. Richard opened the door and stepped out. A man in a Tesla jumped out as smoke burst from under the hood. “What the hell is going on?” He demanded. Richard answered. “I think we got hit by an EMP attack.” “What does that mean?” “It means the end of the world as we know it. I suggest you get home any way you can. It will be bad everywhere, with no power, water, or food.” The man looked unconvinced. He then looked over to his burning car. Without a word, he started toward the off ramp.

It’s a lighthearted murder mystery … with space aliens!
Gabriel Lake is a not so hard-boiled computer guy who finds himself swept up into a web of interstellar crime when he is recruited into the Galactic Detective Agency, led by the brilliant Oren Vilkas. Can a mere Earthling track a killer across the stars before more lives are lost? Can he negotiate his way around other worlds and understand the ways of extra-terrestrial cultures? Can he even figure out how to use a bathroom designed for aliens? And can he uncover the mystery of A Town Called Potato?
INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR
Q. How did you come up with the title A Town Called Potato?
A. I didn’t. It was a random thing one of my grandsons said at eight years old one day while we were playing. I often keep track of funny things my grandkids say, but this one really stuck with me. I kept thinking about that town and why it might be called Potato. I already knew I wanted to write a comedy sci-fi story, and the title just seemed to fit. The book evolved from that, and I named the protagonist after my grandson.
Q. What authors inspired you in writing A Town Called Potato?
A. Given that the story is a mash-up of comedy sci-fi and detective fiction, authors from each of those genres inspired me. In detective fiction, I love Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe books. In fact, it isn’t too hard to see that Oren Vilkas is a homage to Nero Wolfe. And it was Rex Stout, along with Sue Grafton and Arthur Conan Doyle, who inspired me to write the book in first person. Of course when you think of comedic sci-fi, Douglas Adams is the king, and I have tried to capture a fraction of his sense of imaginative. Terry Pratchett is another comedic writer who has always inspired me with his brilliance. And I have to mention P. G. Wodehouse the OG of character-driven comedy novels.
Q. Did you find it difficult to mash up so many genres?
A. I did at first. I kept veering off just into comedy or just into detective noir. So it needed a few passes through the text to make sure I got all the boxes ticked and to get into the swing of things. I wanted Gabriel Lake to be so infused with detective fiction that his inner monologue just naturally takes on the cadences of film noir. The trick was to make that comedic and not just cheap parody. I think I found the balance by making Gabriel self-effacing in describing his fish-out-of-water adventures in space and in bringing everyone else in on the joke as well. By the end I found it easier to find Gabe’s voice, and as I got into the sequel, The Maltese Salmon, it started feeling more and more like home.
Q. Where did you get the idea for the chrono engine?
A. Every sci-fi novel that deals with interstellar travel has to deal with how to cross the mind-boggling vast expanses of space. You can devise some kind of faster-than-light travel (warp drive, hyperspace, etc.), or hypothesize traversable wormholes, or imagine a constant acceleration drive that achieves some significant fraction of light-speed, or have generation/sleeper ships. But I was shooting for comedy sci-fi. I knew I needed some preposterous tongue-in-cheek technology, something Douglas Adams might come up with. So I thought for a long time about “What Would Doug Do?” My answer with the chrono engine weaves together a wee bit of hard science (the fact that the universe used to be mush smaller) with the most outrageous hand-waving technobabble that I could come up with. I hope it makes you chuckle.
