Star Bus: Star Bus

By Ray Kelley

Samuel Howington is selected as the test pilot for a highly unpredictable new prototype deep space craft not because of his exceptional skill, but rather because he is considered unremarkable and therefore expendable by his superiors.  When things inevitably go awry with the mission , he finds himself flung to the far reaches of the galaxy, with no way back home. Sam takes a job with the Trans-Galactic bus line with the intention of earning his ticket back to Earth. But can Sam survive the encounters with warlike aliens, cosmic entities, and worst of all, bitchy passengers long enough to find his way home? And where do people aboard a starbus go to use the bathroom?

Don't miss the answers to these, and other burning questions in Starbus!

Ray Kelley is a native of Tennessee and in addition to writing in a number of different genres, also enjoys... Okay, let's cut the crap. You know it's just me writing this. I can't afford an editor to write a bio for me. Hell, I can't even afford a cover artist. I made the cover for this book in Photoshop, Paint, and Word. Not too bad, considering I'm not much of an artist. I've written some other stuff, but you've probably never heard of it and I've taken it down. The only other thing I have up right now is The Magic Scroll of Oz and it's pretty good. This was fun to write. I love spoofy sci-fi. If enough people want, I'll write another one of these. Or not. Whatever.
