I am so glad I wasn't drinking coffee at that moment. Thanks for the laugh.
Perhaps he should have said "Moist panty raid."

That goes without saying.

Phil walked into the room with his gun up, and said, "We're going on a Panty raid!" Marissa turned her moist eyes to him, concerned for his sanity. Moreover, she feared that he would learn about those classes she was taking with Clarence.

In this world-building novel, that breaks all the rules for writing, it was thus that the advent of Brexit created an opportunity for a book so good that you can't put it down. For fans of Moon People and Antigua, it's a do-not-miss.


Thank yew. Thank yew verra much.

That has made my entire day (if not week). I know it's horrible to make fun of people but...even the "About the author" is gold. I enjoyed that whole page so much. The hilarious "reviews", I suspect, are 100 times better than Moon People.

Phil walked into the room with his gun up, and said, "We're going on a Panty raid!"

Spoiler:

Marissa turned and said "Your gun up makes me moist. Take me!".

p.s. Don't say I didn't warn you.

A science fiction epic to challenge the stars! A book so good you'll want to put it down, but can't! [My words.]


An excerpt from "Moon People," by Dale M. Courtney:


They were both secretly thinking
about what they have been missing in their lives. Then David asked Cheral, would you like to come to my place and spend the night? Cheral gave David a funny but sexy look and before David could say, I’m sorry I shouldn’t have said that. Cheral said you know I must be crazy but I believe I do and then smiled. David couldn’t believe she said yes. He got the biggest smile on his face and kissed her one more time and said this is turning out to be the best night I’ve had in a very long time. Cheral said me too and they left the beach and went to David’s house and they made passionate love for a very long time. The next morning when they woke up.


No one - and I mean NO ONE! - can write a love scene like this, and one that takes place in a science fiction universe.

I'm aghast at the author's ability in his portrayal of human sexuality. It's simply mind-boggling!

Truly, a work that transcends our accepted meaning of 'Art'.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
D. M. Courtney is Married and a father of three, a writer and also does work for National Security on the part of foreign policies and war strategies and world economic equality. My hobbies are Scuba diving and fishing. I was raised in Miami Florida at the time of the Muriel flotilla of refugees from Cuba in the early seventies. Also did a tour in the military in the Army, went to Korea for a year. I've always enjoyed Writing about science fiction and I hope you really enjoy my book Moon People. Thank you and may God Bless your life.*

That passage is not fiction. It's from D. M.'s diary.

Mother of God.

My favorite review was the guy who posted a 2 star review, complaining that after spending his money, he still doesn't know how to moon people. Priceless.

There are some wonderful reviews, many parodying the...ah....style...of the author.
