Alternate Reality News Service Collections
The Alternate Reality News Service sends reporters into other dimensions and has them report on what they find there. There are currently 14 books in the series. Five ARNS books are general collections of news, reviews, interviews and anything else you might expect to find in your daily newspaper. Two of the books contain humorous science fiction advice columns. Five of the books contain reporting from a reality where the United States of Vesampucceri is the world’s leading idiotocracy, which, as you might imagine, is government by, for and of the stupidest people. The final two collections in the series are omnibus volumes bringing together the idiotocracy books.
Alternate Reality Ain’t What it Used To Be
Step into new worlds and read news dispatches from the Alternate Reality News Service, which regularly gets the scoop on The Associated Press, Reuters and the rest of the competition. In a series of articles written by the wire service’s handpicked reporters, you’ll read satirical reports that give glimpses into the relationship between humanity, technology and Robert Novak’s eyebrows. Who would have ever thought that an intelligent undershirt could be the key witness in a murder trial? Or that a man could possibly be sued by his lover for not lying about himself online? Or that a computer chip could be implanted into the brains of criminals so that every time they thought about committing a heinous deed, they sang a show tune? If this is all news to you, then you must not be a subscriber.

Welcome to the Insurrection (We’re Not Sorry for the Inconvenience
The McDruhitmumpf presidency ends pretty much the way it began: with criminality, gaslighting and so much chaos you could bake a wedding cake from it. Nobody saw the insurrection coming, but everybody agreed that, in retrospect, it was inevitable. Retrospect teaches us hard lessons. Bastard retrospect. Not that the Reduhblicans were resting on their…whatever the opposite of laurels is. They worked hard to deny incoming Dumbopratic President Joe Bidenhisbeeswax a smooth transition. Or, any legislative accomplishments. Or, a pleasant lunch. Petty? Sure. But, you don’t get to exercise power by being magnanimous, and, anyway, “pleasant lunch” is not an item on the Capitol Cafeteria menu.

Transdimensional Authority/Multiverse Novels
Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience)
This hilarious science-fiction comedy novel follows the first case for Noomi Rapier, rookie investigator with The Transdimensional Authority – the organisation that regulates travel between dimensions. When a dead body is found slumped over a modified transdimensional machine, Noomi and her more experienced partner, Crash Chumley, must find the dead man’s accomplices and discover what they were doing with the technology. Their investigation leads them to a variety of realities where Noomi comes face-to-face with four very different incarnations of herself, forcing her to consider how the choices she makes and the circumstances into which she is born determine who she is.

You Can’t Kill the Multiverse (But You Can Mess With its Head)
It’s just another day in the Transdimensional Authority, with teams of investigators doing what they do best (well, after breakdancing) – investigating. Bob Blunt is en route through a Dimensional Portal(™) to Earth prime 4-7-5-0-0-7 dash iota to investigate cars exhibiting most uncarlike behaviours – ribbit! (Breaking all of the Transdimensional Authority rules…number 127, he is without his partner, ‘Breakfront’ Balboa, who is on leave after an unfortunate incident with the Vulvar Ambassador to Earth Prime and a staple gun). Beau Beaumont and Biff Buckley have already arrived on Earth Prime 5-9-2-7-7-1 dash theta to find themselves surrounded by machines whose only intention is to serve human masters – even if it kills them! Recently recruited TA investigator Noomi Rapier, with her partner ‘Crash’ Chumley, is on Earth Prime 6-4-7-5-0-6 dash theta where all matter at all levels of organisation (from sub-atomic particles to the universe itself) has become conscious. Meanwhile Barack Bowens and Blabber Begbie, taking the Dimensional DeLorean™ to Earth prime 4-6-3-0-2-9 dash omicron, face multiple apocalypses (already in progress), and Bertrand Blailock and Bao Bai-Leung are having trouble travelling to their intended destination: the home of the digital gods. At first, they all appear to be looking for unauthorised and probably counterfeit Home Universe Generator(™)s, but could what’s really happening be more sinister? (Yes. Yes, it could. We wouldn’t want to leave you in suspense…)

Random Dingoes
Think back to a time in your life that you made a decision that you now regret. Oh, don’t be so coy – everybody has one. Okay, maybe not Mother Teresa. Or, Bruce Springsteen. But, unless you’re Mother Teresa or Bruce Springsteen – and we’re pretty sure you’re not – you have been in that position. What if you could go back in time and change that decision? What if you could make the other choice? Or, even better, choose a third option that you didn’t even see at the time? Wouldn’t you like to know how things would have turned out if only you had done something different at that critical juncture in your life?

It’s Just the Chronosphere Unfolding As it Should
The fourth book of Ira Nayman’s increasingly improperly named Transdimensional Authority series (really, would it have killed him to plan the series more in advance? George R. R. Martin planned the first 137 books in his series – it will take more generations in his family to write than the books themselves actually chronicle – before he wrote a single word, and everybody knows where they stand with him), features Time Agency agent Radames Trafshanian. When she’s not trying to impress her good friend in the Transdimensional Authority, her very special friend, if you know what we mean (and, if you do, could you please tell us, because we’re not entirely certain…), Radames is busy trying to solve crimes against time (that is, crimes that are themselves against time, not trying to solve them against time – she’s not on the clock…well, she sort of is, but you know what we mean don’t you. You don’t? Well then, you’ll have to read It’s Just the Chronosphere Unfolding as it Should to find out).

The Multiverse is a Nice Place To Visit, But I Wouldn’t Want to Live There
Why would someone, apparently chosen at random, have their consciousness swapped with someone else in another reality? How would someone, apparently chosen at random, have their consciousness swapped with someone else in another reality? Why would another three persons, apparently chosen at random, have their consciousness swapped with three other someone elses in another reality? Why would the entire bridge crew of a starship, apparently… well, you get the picture. What will happen to all these very confused people?

Good Intentions: The Multiverse Refugees Trilogy: First Pie in the Face
Not All Alarm Bells Are In Your Head
At the end of You Can’t Kill the Multiverse (But You Can Mess With its Head), Doctor Alhambra, the chief scientist of the Transdimensional Authority, set up an alarm to warn him if a universe is succumbing to the universe-killing machine that is at the heart of the story. But how would the Transdimensional Authority respond if that alarm went off?
In Good Intentions, the first book in the Multiverse Refugees Trilogy, but also the sixth Transdimensional Authority novel, we find out.

Bad ACtors: The Multiverse Refugees Trilogy: Second Pi in the Face
Two years after the discovery that Earth Prime 4-6-4-0-8-9 dash Omega is in imminent danger of collapse, the Transdimensional Authority has helped hundreds of millions…well, millions…okay, a lot of aliens immigrate to Earth Prime. How’s that working out?

Elsewhen Press and Elsewhere
The Ugly Truth: The Multiverse Refugees Trilogy: <INSERT THIRD REPETITION WITH VARIATION OF PIE JOKE HERE>
Emigrating to a new universe can be hard.
People in the new universe eat for sustenance (rather than get their energy directly from sunlight). Eww! They use umbrellas to protect them from the rain (rather than pianos and anvils and safes and orangutans – oh, my! – falling from the sky). Their gods do not reward them in the afterlife for how funny they were while they were alive – as if any other qualities in life matter!
Fleeing a dying universe is not for the faint of gall bladder!
