Book Description
You are cordially invited & Guest (And I Will Not be Afraid of Women) follows the exploits, trials, and frequent misadventures of Randall Fox, as he makes his way through the minefields of the dating scene. It's a comedy, mystery, drama, and romance all crammed together into one riotous story. The novel explores Randall's often-desperate search from "adulthood" to pre-pubescence and back, to capture that mythic beast called true love. Each chapter tells a separate, yet inter-related, tale that moves Randall sometimes closer, but more often farther from his intended goal of finding his ideal woman. He has to suffer the humiliation of watching his womanizing best friend get married, and he does not yet even have an "& Guest" to take to the wedding. All the while, Randall is forced to witness virtually all of his friends around him couple up, while he wonders if he has indeed become the last single man.

If he uses his in-depth knowledge of the anime and his unparalleled power as a master of all the elements, surely Slowe can gain popularity with his peers and change his fate! Perhaps this time, he can make the one small wish that never came to fruition in the anime come true: to become a man worthy of Charlotte, his retainer, and to confess his love to her!

Book Description
Teleportation exists. That's the setting. The story itself throws you in a whirlwind of secretive characters, genre bending conflicts, and comedy riddled dialogue almost immediately. There is no big takeaway. There is no lesson to learn. It's merely an interesting snapshot of time in the author's creative universe. Enjoy!
