Homer's Ill Iliad & Odd Sea Odyssey (420 pages) is an adult satire/parody rewrite of the classic stories of the 10 year Trojan War and of the 10 year adventure of Odysseus trying to return home to his native Ithaca.

Background
Information
I have always been fascinated by the rigid thoughts that so many of us harbor. The world would be such a better place if more of us could keep an open mind. So many things we have thought as absolute have indeed been found to be relative facts at best. I love using over the top humor to entertain but to also get my point across. I work is some very serious forums(doctor,life and death,etc) and have found this approach makes life more fun.
