Hundreds of years after the death of Earth, the Nations have built a thriving community of lucky refugees on multiple space stations orbiting the desolate planet's atmosphere. The Global Air Defense has finally achieved the ability for interstellar space travel, completing a space ship to travel the stars and find a new planet for the remaining human population. To make their plan work, the GAD must trust an ally they've only ever treated as a second-class citizen: the planet-bound, those left to fight to survive on Earth. Louise Wyndham, contact for the black market smuggling ring of Puget City, becomes the first planet-bound trainee enlisted in the GAD, rising quickly to graduate as the first planet-bound officer. But nothing can prepare her for the struggles of coming face to face with the ship-born and their generations of prejudices about the planet-bound. When the ship Hickory finds a planet that meets all of the criteria, Louise finds herself in a new fight; more than just a fight against her surroundings, more than just a fight to prove that she's capable―no matter where she came from. . . this is a fight for survival. Will the rest of the crew set aside their prejudices? Or will they lead themselves, and humanity, into destruction?

What happens when you challenge a group of fiction writers to take an everyday, normal, ho-hum situation and give it a smack upside the head? The answer is a trip into the sometimes dark, sometimes goofy-but always entertaining-alternate reality we call our minds. These playgrounds in our brains, these forests of many delights, this is where writers dwell. This is where we tend the gardens of the obscure, the weird, the unexpected. This is the state in which authors truly live and breathe, at home among our creations, deeply involved in our worlds and the emotions they elicit from readers. . . and from ourselves. Every moment of every day we are crafting our own realities, giggling to ourselves, or causing our own hearts to skip a beat. Where one man sees a dog, we see a fully-shifted lycanthrope stalking his prey. Where one woman sees a child playing in the sand, we see the world's youngest explorer discovering dinosaur bones or alien artifacts. People don't always understand us or our crazy tales, but we don't mind. We're all proud to call ourselves Blyssfully Abnormal.

Based on a true story, this family-friendly tale encourages everyone to ask questions, explore the world, and learn about the people and creatures in it.

Bird's Town Presents: Chick Rebuilds (Play the game from Joyrocks!)

When the evil Bloodhound Cat Gang destroys Bird's Town and kills or enslaves most of the inhabitants, Chick, a brave little bluebird, follows his instinct to the peaceful island of Green Valley, far from any feline danger.

An ancient avian civilization vanished, seemingly, without a trace.

Further exploration of the island uncovers a trail of vague clues about the ancient avians' doom. A doom they predicted. A doom they could not stop. A doom that could arise once more to wipe out Aviaria and everybirdy and everything Chick holds dearest. Now it's up to Chick and a ragtag flock of refugee birds to piece together what really happened on Green Valley so long ago, thwart the sinister plot, and save all birdkind from extinction.
