A perfect cottage-warming gift. You ever have a neighbour whose behaviour is so mind-bogglingly inconsiderate and so suicide-inducingly annoying that you just want to ask him, in a polite Canadian way, to please stop? TurboJetslams isn't like that. Jass Richards' new novel, TurboJetslams: Proof #29 of the Non-Existence of God, tells the tale of one person's pathetic and hilarious attempts to single-handedly stop the destruction of a little piece of beautiful Canadian wilderness by the increasing numbers of idiots who couldn't care less.

A perfect cottage-warming gift. You ever have a neighbour whose behaviour is so mind-bogglingly inconsiderate and so suicide-inducingly annoying that you just want to ask him, in a polite Canadian way, to please stop? TurboJetslams isn't like that. Jass Richards' new novel, TurboJetslams: Proof #29 of the Non-Existence of God, tells the tale of one person's pathetic and hilarious attempts to single-handedly stop the destruction of a little piece of beautiful Canadian wilderness by the increasing numbers of idiots who couldn't care less. A perfect cottage-warming gift. "Extraordinarily well written with wit, wisdom, and laugh-out-loud ironic recognition, "TurboJetslams: Proof #29 of the Non-Existence of God" is a highly entertaining and a riveting read that will linger on in the mind and memory long after the little book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf (or shoved into the hands of friends with an insistence that they drop everything else and read it!). Highly recommended for community library collections." Midwest Book Review
Autorenporträt
Jass Richards (jassrichards.com) has, surprisingly enough (or not), a Master's degree in Philosophy and for a (very) brief time was a stand-up comic (now she's more of a sprawled-on-the-couch comic). Despite these attributes, she has received four Ontario Arts Council grants. This Will Not Look Good on My Resume was shortlisted for the Rubery Award (and reportedly made one reader snort root beer out her nose), and both TurboJetslams: Proof #29 of the Non-Existence of God (arguably the perfect cottage-warming gift) and License to Do That are on Goodreads' list of Fiction Books That Opened Your Eyes To A Social Or Political Issue. Excerpts from her 12 books have been included in anthologies and on websites, and "Supply Teacher from Hell", a one-woman comedy, was performed in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her worst-ever stand-up moment occurred in Atlanta at a for-blacks-only club (apparently). Her best-ever stand-up moment occurred in Toronto when she made the black guy fall off his stool because he was laughing so hard at her Donovan Bailey joke (the guy set a world record for running the 100M in 9.84 seconds, yeah? Big wup. My dog can do better than that. 'Course, she's black too). She also writes issue-driven speculative fiction (pegtittle.com) and literary prose and poetry (chriswind.net) and, altogether, has managed to find publishers (in Canada, the U.S., the UK, and Australia) for over 30 books.
