Strange Loops
The monkeys know too much – and one monkey with a mighty God-complex is about to make a Proclamation. A full moon over Dazphoob and an ancient prophecy are about to be fulfilled, setting the universe on a new evolutionary path and away from future destruction. Bob, an extra-terrestrial with a penchant for peanuts and perfidy, is determined to prevent the prophecy from taking place to fulfill his own selfish agenda. There are those who stand in his way, Ruth Taggett (who swears she’s being stalked by penguins), her son, Henry Taggett (a self- professed philosopher who happens to be a human-alien hybrid), Herman Vogel (who is always trying to remember the future), Randy (a sweet star child), and Sphincter (a precocious talking monkey) as they journey through space, time, a few parallel universes, and the swamps of Mobile Bay to thwart Bob’s evil plans.

About the author
Deborah Prestwood
1 book3 followersI have loved books ever since my mother started reading to me when I was just a baby. While still in elementary school, I started making up stories and writing them down for my own entertainment. By high school, I was serious about writing. I have been writing ever since.
Although I have written many short stories, essays, a chilren's book, and even a couple of plays, "Strange Loops" is my first full-length novel, which was co-written with my daughter, Jennifer Rose.
Currently, I live on Florida's beautiful Emerald Coast with my husband, Lee, and two very spoiled cats, Chloe and Claude. Life is good!

Not everyone is as paranoid as they appear!
Everyone that I know falls into this category... either great aunt Mildred, or maybe your quirky uncle Charlie is as nutty as a fruitcake. But what if... What if they weren't?
Strange Loops was a fun story to read, with enough humor to have me laughing out loud several times. It follows Henry and his mother, who insist They (with a capital T) are after them, will find them, will take them, etc. Naturally I scoffed. Ok, old people are paranoid, but then again, Henry wasn't old. Just weird. Then there's this monkey with the most unfortunate name ever. Was he really there? Was he just a figment of Henry's imagination?
Alien abductions. As soon as I realized that's what this story was about, I started chuckling. Everyone has heard stories, shaking their head sympathetically. This story, however, hooked me from the start and I quite literally didn't put the book down until I finished. My Saturday passed quite comfortably with me reading this on my iPad.
Aliens obsessed with peanuts also made me laugh. I don't want to give any spoilers away, so I won't go into detail, but if you read this (and I encourage you to!), make sure you don't have any drinks around your e-reader device lest you spew it all over. All in all, I delightful quirky tale that must be read to be believed.
Well done!
