This is almost as funny as Terry Pratchett. :) Australian Author. For Jason, making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer is surreal.

He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants. Lol
