Description
Xenomorph noun - alien Tony Sterling had a great life, working on Wall Street and living on Park Avenue, then he met Larry Xenomorph! "I can't pronounce his real name without giving myself a hernia, so I call him Larry." Tony had never before experienced a severe shock, certainly nothing like the shock of an alien abduction. Then, an ER doctor introduces him to a hypodermic needle that would calm a charging rhino, and he wakes up in the mental health wing of Sunny Park Hospital. "Doc, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is I'm screwed!" If you're talking to aliens, you're crazy, but if it's true, how do you convince your fabulously beautiful psychiatrist that reality is indeed stranger than science fiction. And by the way, would she consider a romantic dinner with a wealthy, charming and thoroughly infatuated mental patient? "You need a really great pickup line when you're wearing a straitjacket." Romantic comedy with a sci-fi twist!

Person
Jay Cole is a writer of immense talent and insight. He lives in Vermont on a maple syrup farm with his wife of thirty-two years, Maxine, their three lovely children, Number One, Number Two, and Number Three, and his dog, Worthless. Jay Cole personally wrote this biographical blurb, and he has absolutely no shame about lying like a rug. . . . That about covers as much of my personal life as I'd like to post on the government's NSA servers. (Relax, paranoia is just a hobby!) My real story is one of laughter. As soon as I learned to read at about age five, I asked Santa for joke books. I wrote my first short story in fourth grade - not a homework assignment. The written word simply appeals to me, especially when it reveals the absurdities of life that so often spontaneously arise in our daily routines. I've written magazine articles, novels and scripts, and a ton of standup comedy. My favorite genres include humor and comedy, romantic comedy, science fiction, and a bit of action adventure, but I have to say that humor and comedy top my list of preferences. I've found that the humor in life is a vital resource that we all share. Everybody laughs, and isn't that truly marvelous!
