A starship captain searching for solitude and riches in the stars finds himself hopelessly lost. His journey home will force him to rely on an increasing number of colorful misfit crew who save his life as much as give it misery. Stars Are Shortcake is a lighthearted and humorous serial sci-fi adventure. Initially intended as a four-panel comic, the author has repurposed it as a daily writing exercise because he doesn't have the time or money for artwork! Ha! Note from the Author: "I need something in my writing career that can be completed in an hour or less. This is because writing books takes such an immense amount of time, effort and willpower. So, the chapters in this story will be very short, perhaps even incomplete at times. But, I hope you'll enjoy the journey with me and the colorful characters.
