About the author

Contributor Notes

Human-shaped, simian-obsessed, robot-fighting, pirate-hearted, storytelling junkie Mark A. Rayner is an award-winning writer of satirical and speculative fiction. By day Mark teaches his bemused students at the Faculty of Information and Media Studies (at Western University). By night he is a writer of short stories, novels, squibs and other drivel. (Some pure, and some quite tainted with meaning.)

Many cheeseburgers were harmed in the production of this novel.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for Mark A. Rayner

“I’ve only come across a few writers who are truly funny, and Mark A. Rayner is one of them.” ~Terry Fallis, Author of Best Laid Plans

““Mark A. Rayner—an all-Canadian synthesis of Douglas Adams and Ben Elton—understands that the best satire is only five degrees to the left of reality. The Fatness may not be reality (yet), but it’s too close for comfort. Luckily, it’s also funny as heck.” ~Corey Redekop, Author of Shelf Monkey and Husk

“Mark A. Rayner is just a terrific storyteller and one of the most imaginative and original writers you will ever have the pleasure of reading.” ~Ian Ferguson, Author of Village of the Small Houses
