Literary awards: Honorable Mention, General Fiction: 2016 Hollywood Book Festival In this "unconventional" third installment of the 16 time award winning Ripper the Clown trilogy, the clown is back with a comedy novel that simultaneously spoofs and redefines the alien abduction and UFO invasion genre. SPEED DATE trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch'v=_wLzes8FCdk From the quirky and weird world of award-winning author Jake Aurelian comes The Life & Mimes (& Alien Invasion) of Ripper the Clown: The Autobiography of an Unconventional UFO Abductee-a chaotic and satirical journey into your untypical alien and pop culture world told from the perspective of an angry clown. Ripper the Clown is an unpredictable cartoon character come to life ... a visionary, a renegade, a rogue ... and a frustrated stand-up comedian ... that is, until he gets abducted by alien beings. Bad things happen. During his abduction, Ripper the Clown gets car sick on the alien craft causing the ship to crash into his home upon Earth reentry. Grays invade the Ripper estate, and Men in Black and the government get involved. Ripper gets taken to Area 55, and as a result, an alien invasion occurs; UFO sightings and alien abductions hit an all time high. Ripper teams up with Grigori Rasputin, Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, John Nada and his girlfriend Willow and they embark on a quest to save the world that leads straight to a donnybrook-confrontation with the President of the United States, D.B. Cooper (yes, a criminal is in the White House). The Life & Mimes (& Alien Invasion) of Ripper the Clown parodies and redefines the popular UFO abduction and alien invasion sci-fi movies, TV shows and comic book genres, mixing biting humor and pop culture references with social commentary and political satire. In his alter-ego clown persona, Jake Aurelian has created an edgy, raw and violent, yet complex, emotional, multi-dimensional character-one that is strangely endearing and strangely relatable (as clich?d as it sounds) to readers and audiences of all ages. www.youtube.com/user/Rippertheclownshow
