Quarnian Dow is a syron, driven by her intuition, anticipating the future and acting without knowing why--just that she has to. Often, she's a hero. Sometimes, she's a thief. Her talent takes her from planet to planet, buffeted by fate and never knowing what it will force her to do. And now, her intuition is leading her to the legendary "Staroamer," a generation ship that vanished centuries ago. But the "Staroamer" has secrets in its vast dark chambers, and they may be have dangers that even a Syron's abilities can't overcome. Praise for "Staroamer's Fate" Worth passing on-- Rothman brings to his novel a certain freshness and vigor which makes "Staroamer's Fate" anything but hackneyed. Very little is dull here. --Dan Chow, "Locus" Nothing profound, but fun. I liked it. --John Betancourt, "Amazing Stories" One of the unique heroines to come along-- This is the sort of action/adventure story that can be enjoyed on several levels, and by people who are not necessarily hard-core SF fans. Definitely a good read. --Roberta Rogow, "Voya"

An anthology of humorous stories in the Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror genres. Alternate Hilarities was originally a small press fan-zine in the early nineties of funny stories in my favorite genres, Science fiction, Fantasy and Horror. Six issues were produced against my ex-wife's express wishes. And they were terrible! Just Terrible! It had a semi professional look but proofing was not my strong suit. I had no funds to hire a proof reader and let's face it, volunteers suck. But the stories were great. Many talented authors sent in great funny stories. With concepts like games show in the afterlife, the last man alive and the secret life of a teenaged mad scientist. But in the end, the cost of publishing my pet project became too much and the zine was retired. Now, two decades later, the overhead and distribution issues of the small press have almost disappeared with the advent of eBooks. With a new partner in crime who can do line edits, I decided to give my old love a second shot. So, here it is, The New and Improved Alternate Hilarities. We have Alien invasions and Abductions, Time Travel, Ghost Ships, Demonic Possessions, Flatulent Clowns, Body Switching, Talking Monkeys and Feghoots. So off we go. With Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and Hilarities for all!
