Antony Cleopatra And Janie

Janie Ahmed, a twenty-fourth century biologist, fantasized often about traveling back in time to visit Cleopatra. The happiest morning of Janie’s life began with an invitation from ship’s commander Karen to join the crew of Explorer Seven, the most sophisticated spaceship ever constructed. Cleopatra was a leader, a lover, and brilliant beyond any man of her time, but she would not listen to reason. Janie resorts to mental teleportation. Together with her boyfriend Brad, who takes over Mark Antony’s body, she becomes Cleopatra. And that’s just the beginning… When they leave orbit, Karen then directs the crew to travel forward in time just long enough to drop in on Jerusalem. Jesus must be saved.

Karen, clinical psychologist and captain of the most sophisticated time-traveling spaceship ever constructed, knew that “we need to talk” are words no relationship wants to hear; yet there she was. She was certain chief engineer Andre was “the one,” until the morning she rolled over, looked him in the face, and got a chill. It’s not a good sign when the expert on feelings doesn’t know where her own are coming from. The answer was obvious: travel back in time to the origins of the human race.

With the help of Cindy, Andre’s personal Cher look-alike walking computer, mental teleportation from the bio lab allows the executive staff to take over evolving Bonobo chimps on the surface of ancient earth. Karen’s love fest is followed by trip number two, Home Erectus Apes. The other side of humanity takes turns bashing each other over the head. Karen realizes that every side of humanity must be understood.

Getting home proves problematic. A space time catastrophe cripples the ship in the Andromeda galaxy beside a planet at war with itself.

Happier Ever After introduces us to ourselves, who we really are deep inside, and what to do about it. It also forecasts what will happen if we don’t.

Mankind has ventured to every corner of the galaxy. No one expects another inch until Andre Martin, lab-rat genius social nerd, shows up with a plan to build a ship powerful enough to separate time and space. His goal: to explore and explain the Big Bang. No one likes Andre. No one trusts Andre. Permission denied, mission canceled; until impending planetary disaster reinstates priority under new leadership, prominent psychologist Karen Wellchild, entitled, independent, and hiding a desire to meet Jesus on the way home. The journey does not go well. The clock refuses to spin backward and a computer meltdown informs the crew that Karen secretly used dating software to match each of the 240 twenty-six-year-olds onboard with one perfect mate. Karen's closest friend comes up with a new plan. And who doesn't love a scary dinosaur tale, or ghost ship mystery to solve? The starship Explorer Seven rides imagination from one end of the universe to another, from the beginning of time to the next beginning of time. Hop on board, Andre and Karen are waiting.
