Finders Keepers

2010

In the spirit of The Good Place, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, author Russ Colchamiro has gone back to the future to deliver his wildest, funniest novel yet—the new and updated Sci-Fi/Fantasy tale Finders Keepers: The Definitive Edition. When a jar containing the Universe's DNA falls from Eternity, bumbling backpackers Jason and Theo find their loyalties—and sanity!—put to the test. Unaware that a motley crew from another realm is chasing them across the globe to retrieve that radioactive vessel, these intrepid new friends are forced to contend with passion, responsibility, and their own mortality—and the fate of the Solar System, which hangs in the balance. Traversing Europe, New Zealand, and the backbone of Eternity, Finders Keepers: The Definitive Edition ultimately asks one simple question: Is the life you're living the life you actually want . . . or does the Universe have more to offer than you can possibly imagine? IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: The Definitive Edition of Finders Keepers has undergone significant changes from the original version. Consider the original as the Raw & Uncensored version (rated 'R')—which is no longer available—while this new updated and revised Definitive Edition is 'PG-13'. Goodreads will not allow the two version to be listed separately, so please keep in mind that older reviews do not necessarily reflect the updated narrative, characters, language, and tone of the Definitive Edition.

Genius de Milo

2015

For fans of The Good Place, Good Omens, Third Rock from the Sun, Groundhog Day, Third Rock from the Sun, Community, Hot Tub Time Machine, Harold & Kumar go to White Castle, and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Best pals Jason Medley and Theo Barnes barely survived a backpacking trip through Europe and New Zealand that—thanks to a jar of Cosmic Building Material they found—almost wiped out the galaxy. But just as they embrace a future without any more cosmic lunacy: The Earth has started fluxing in and out of Existence; Theo's twin girls are teleporting; and Jason can't tell which version of his life is real. All because of Milo, the Universe's ultimate gremlin. Joined by the mysterious Jamie—a down-and-out hotel clerk from Eternity—Jason and Theo reunite on a frantic, cross-country chase across America, praying they can retrieve that radioactive jar, circumvent Milo, and save the Earth from irrevocable disaster. In author Russ Colchamiro's uproarious sequel to FINDERS KEEPERS, he finally confirms what we've long suspected ... that there's just no de Milo quite like a GENIUS DE MILO.
