Area 51-1/2 is a workplace sitcom in prose about the government's third-worst idea this week: a desert daycare for rejected aliens. Each chapter plays like an episode-cold open gag, A/B plot chaos, escalating misfires, a set-piece meltdown, deadpan cover-up, and a tag that sticks the joke. Private Jenkins, a by-the-book rookie turned honorary slime wrangler, tries to keep order under Major Karen Briggs, a hyper-competent babysitter in uniform, while nepo-scientist Dr. Paul Smythe abuses a lab coat like a security blanket. The inmates: Glarnock the oversharing ooze, Klop the conspiracy prophet, Princess Flarnu the royal nightmare, Zorb the involuntary polka machine, Chad (maybe human), and Snorf, an empathic mood grenade. Expect culture-clash snacks, bureaucratic forms for catastrophes, and running bits (vending machines eaten, cargo shorts not invisible). Dry, quick, and straight-faced.

SCOTT HAMELE is a prolific Kansas City-based novelist with more than twenty books to his name, spanning historical and biographical thrillers, near-future suspense, and speculative fiction. He blends cinematic pacing with research-driven authenticity-real streets, tight timelines, and lived-in backstories.His historical fiction catalog includes Capone's North Road, The Petticoat Butcher, Hanna's Room, Promise in the Sky, Hitler Survives, Staff of Moses, Orchard of Secrets, Dust & Honor, Mercy in the Sky, Between Two Flags, and Kentucky Whiskey Barons. He is known for richly researched historical fiction, romantic historical epics, and a growing line of heartwarming, hopeful stories from America's backroads.Hamele's work weaves real places and archival detail with everyday grace-acts of courage, second chances, and communities that choose kindness. When he isn't mapping timelines, he's listening for the small moments that light a life and turning them into page-turning, feel-good reads such as Miles of Good and Porchlight Promises.My books are published in partnership with Schuyler & Sons Publishing
