The Atheist Welcoming Committee
"What if everything you believed about the afterlife was demolished by a freight train?"
Atticus is living his best life as a successful trial lawyer and apologist for atheism—until a locomotive comes barreling through his brain matter. But rather than the oblivion he preached during mortality, he is introduced to an unexpected afterlife where immortality is a community, memories can be revisited in perfect clarity, and the enigmatic "neverborns" seek control over the living and the dead. Guided by the Atheist Welcoming Committee and a sarcastic mentor named Duck, Atticus is forced to unravel a cosmic mystery that’s as hilarious as it is profound.

Balloon Boy and the Porcupine Pals
The Complete Intergalactic Adventure
Balloon has always been a morbidly obese moron. But recently, something about his feeble brain has changed. Every time he guesses, he’s right. Victory, the girl he’s been crushing on for over 10 years, needs his abilities to save her dying father. Desperate for her affection, Balloon agrees to help. There’s only one catch: the cure is over 29 million light years away, perched on a pedestal at the center of the Sombrero Galaxy.
Transforming his single-wide trailer into a white trash spaceship, Balloon races to save Victory’s father. Along the way, he encounters an alien regime bent on his annihilation and a few new friends who feed him tacos.
Behind the Prose: Mort Gloss
Raised in the picturesque comforts of southern Idaho, Mort Gloss developed an enduring fascination for atheists in the afterlife, intergalactic warfare, evolving concepts of socially acceptable body image, chance vs. design hypotheses concerning the origin of the universe, has-been heavy metal bands, and fast-food tacos.
When not writing fiction, Mort works as a regulatory attorney. His stories blend deep questions with surreal comedy, creating unique literary journeys that challenge core beliefs while providing laughs.
He loves his wife, his kids, and store-bought cookies.
