"Car for Sale, Dec. 2008," originally published AntipodeanSF, is one of seventy collected in Don’t Pet the Sweaty Things, Bards & Sages Publishing, March 2012.You can order related swag and the electronic version of this book from the publisher or the print version from Amazon or Createspace.
There is much to be gleaned from anthropomorphic tales populated with spacelings, with anxiety-prone rabbits, and with literate penguins. By placing our moral onus on hairy or on scaly beings, like the ones populating Don't Pet the Sweaty Things, we humans can safely poke at occupational hazards, relationship foibles, and never-actualized bucket lists.
More specifically, by reading about sentient hedgehogs, biker lizards, and intergalactic entrepreneurs, we can cautiously stretch our considerations of how we treat ourselves and others. It's less daunting to cheer on warring sugar ants than to confront a boss, to hope for the success of a Tuna Olympics contender than to give advice to an adolescent child, and to think up salutations for a space cowboy than to properly word a greeting to a new neighbor. What’s more, I would like to offer AntipodeanSF readers a 10% discount off of the cover price of Don’t Pet the Sweaty Things.
