The Audacity Omnibus

  “A wild ride! I laughed, I gasped, and my face got all wet in the end.” -G.M. Nair

May’s humdrum life is flung into hyperdrive when she’s rescued from an alien abduction by Xan, an alien with a fondness for I Love Lucy who lives on the Audacity. But when Chaos incarnate decides to turn Earth into her personal sandbox, the Audacity and May’s new love of rocket racing are the only things that can stop her.

But even being wildly successful rocket racers aren’t enough for May and Xan when a tea-sipping robot arrests Xan, and Chaos steals the Sphere of Time. May must team up with Xan’s sister, Aimz (an adventure biologist) and her undead girlfriend to save Xan, the Audacity, and Time Itself.

Stranded without the Audacity on a tiny, frigid island, Xan and Aimz succumb to the Carmnian Scourge. As a last act, May must team up with old friends, enemies, and a haunted Big Mouth Billy Bass to find the cure before the goddess of Chaos enacts the final stage of her universe befuddling plan.

Carmen Loup is a non-binary humorologist, illustrator of "Tarot in Space'', and creator of "The Audacity” sci-fi novel and comic book series. They've been writing seriously since 2007 and funnily since 2015. Loup grew up on Monty Python, Douglas Adams, and Red Dwarf, overshot, and then grew young on Alan Watts, Suzuki, and the Tao te Ching. They write psychedelic speculative fiction with a hopeful spin that shines through even ridiculously horrible situations.

Loup’s mission is to write a literary antidepressant, a book which inspires readers to see life through a different, more enticing lens and think with more ease and lightheartedness. They seek to appetize readers to life again, like one of those strange little palate cleansers they serve between courses at expensive restaurants. Loup wishes to humbly propose that life doesn’t suck. Or, at least, that it only sucks in waves.

They are a certified Yoga instructor and an interfaith spiritual educator with a focus on meditation and Yoga philosophy. They own Cosmic Corner, a spiritual supply shop and community center in Savannah, GA.
