Just About Anyone

"Fans of comedic fantasy will... enjoy this humorous, inventive take on kingmaking." Publishers Weekly

The Kingdom of Ugh is just like any other on the improbable planet of Morsus: full of unhappy humans and aloof magical creatures, and is ruled by a king who doesn't care much about anything beyond his next meal. So, for a brief moment of happiness, the subjects took matters into their own hands... and beheaded the king.

The king is dead! Long live... um...

Now, it's up to a wizard and a witch to pick the next ruler in a long line of rulers, all no longer in possession of anything to put a crown on. They figure something has to change. Aside from being messy, beheadings don't help anyone. So what can this unlikely - or perhaps quite likely - pair do to end the streak of regicide and make such unhappy humans happy?

And then, it hits them: it perfect solution. Or at least, it better be perfect. It just has to be.

"...he is a bit like [Terry] Pratchett, but he's 100% original." Helen Scott, Reviewer for Phantasmagoria Magazine

"Laugh out loud funny!" Carl R. Jennings's comic masterpiece is filled with an incredible menagerie of mad characters. And one lustful unicorn. A side-splitting swipe at the kings, wizards, witches, and peasants of the days of yore." GD Deckard, Sci-Fi Lampoon Magazine

"Just About Anyone is to the fantasy genre what The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is to science fiction...Jennings flips the script by hurling a heap of modern mundanity into a classic fantasy setting. To great comedic effect. All the issues plaguing social media today are turned on their heads and spanked on their bottoms... If you're in the market for a good laugh - and who isn't these days? - I highly recommend Just About Anyone." Jason J. McCuiston, Author of Project Notebook and The Last Star Warden series
