Yay! They’re Here!

 

The aliens are coming!
The aliens are coming!

Of course, First Contact is not going to run smoothly.

Yay, They’re Here contains 20 stories of first contact that start optimistically but then, well, things happen.

I really like participating in themed anthologies and this one is no exception. My story, “I Love Lupi”, is a simple little story that pokes fun at our media transmissions that head off into space. Think Gunsmoke, Leave it to Beaver, and of course, I Love Lucy — where are they now and who’s viewing them? Would aliens have equivalent cheesy entertainment? And, going deeper, how do such shows affect our culture and our ambitions?

Yay, They’re Here is available at Amazon in print and e-book, and on Smashwords. Get it now, before little flying saucers suddenly appear overhead…
