In November, 2001, Gene Brewer was sued, alone with almost everyone else connected with the film version of K-PAX, for plagiarizing an Argentinean movie called MAN FACING SOUTHEAST. Though the lawsuit was later withdrawn, this development stimulated the author to ponder where his ideas for the book and film originated. The resulting memoir, CREATING K-PAX, includes excerpts from previously unpublished work, and ends with a chapter of advice for other would-be novelists.

In K-PAX IV, a new visitor arrives from the constellation Lyra. She is much more outspoken than prot, extraordinarily sexually promiscuous, and resembles more than anything else a large female chimpanzee.

An ambitious politician, unable to run successfully for public office because he is not handsome enough, vows to produce three sons whole will occupy the highest offices in the land: those of the President, the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Three very different works are included in 3 EARLY NOVELS. The first, RALPHY, is about a misfit in a typical midwest American family.
