book bio
Have you ever been required to write about 'what I did over summer vacation'? Well, I can tell you it helps to have a true story to base it all on. One filled with Si-Fi adventure, mystery and comedy, Misfits has it all. Trouble is, because of alleged 'involvement' in the whole matter, I've been sworn to absolute top secrecy, so if I told you anything of events, I would promptly have to kill myself. Anyway, luckily, it's narrated by our beloved local high school janitor, Mr. Bill. A retiring black man who tells of a story covering the last 100-year history of a mill town, with all its boom to bust old money intrigue and trappings, but mostly about last summer's vacation for a local group of misfit kids living in town. Ranging in age from 12-20 years and having grown up around longtime crazy talk of an open secret about elusive aliens, marooned in deserted lead mines throughout the surrounding mountains. Desperate for a way home the shadowy aliens wait and devise. While at the center of town in an old abandoned industrial area the government has set up a strictly top-secret research lab to reconstruct a mysterious alien artifact, found damaged during excavation of a mine. Meanwhile, a local teen managed to hack into his father's scientific lab computer and promptly starts doubling each government custom parts order, having the extra parts secretly delivered to the local school, where deep in an abandoned Cold War shelter, they assemble a duplicate alien object. Through a web of comedic errors when everybody starts discovering the truth, the military is called in to regain control of the town.
What could possibly go wrong?
