Featured Indie Book on Indie Author News: Science Fiction Adventure Alien Blue by DeAnna Knippling
The Book has been self-published via the author's own imprint WonderlandPress on Amazon CreateSpace (Paperback), and KDP Select (eBook) - 360 pages, released in February 2012.
Alien Blue is a SF Novel inspired by Spider Robinson and Kurt Vonnegut, mostly. The author thinks the only puns that ended up surviving edits were the names of the beers (like "A Hard Day's White" and "Old Man Pilsner--Take your Pils!") and a couple of insults ("kookier than a snickerdoole...more out of kilter than a naked Scotsman").
About the Book
Bill Trout didn’t set out to get involved with aliens. He just wanted to run his damned brewery and heal up from being abandoned by his ex-wife.
But that isn't the way things worked out, and now he has some bodies to bury, an alien kid who’s wanted for murder—mass murder—to hide, and a planet to save. Bill won't go down easy.
Fortunately, the aliens, who are a blue ooze that takes over your body and are real hard to kill, have no tolerance for alcohol. So now Bill has a new beer on tap: Alien Blue. He just has to be careful who he serves it to.
