Blowing Up

"A mixture of satire and science fiction, spiritual pondering and scatological polemics, the book is utterly original."

 Lisabet Sarai, Goodreads Reviewer  

“Not sure what I have gotten into here. Ha. I like it. Ha.”

 Laughter and absurdity permeate our worlds no matter how much reality tries to wipe them aside. 

Our minds and imaginations are much bigger and more powerful than the world outside that tries to absorb us with its tale of woe and hopelessness. We live in fear that we might be wrong about something deep and essential to being at one with our lives. 

For this, we can pay a fortune for therapy or we can laugh and accept that, essentially, nothing is right about the world around us so we may as well laugh and drown in the non-sensical absurdity of it all. 

You can do that by reading these stories. 

Roman mythology stampedes into the present as the Gods of Elysium wake up after two

thousand years sleeping from a spell gone wrong. Hell breaks loose on Earth as demons from

Hades wreck havoc in a war against the mortals that threatens to start a war between the Gods

themselves.

From flying pyramids crashing into Mediterranean shipping lanes to vast hordes of demons

springing out of the ground and devouring everything in their path, things look bad for humanity.

But can a small group of gods from both sides save humanity with plans hatched in seedy bars

from gallons of cheap Scotch?

 It's 2060. In Backstreet Records, a brooding audiophile thinks murder. Upstairs at Studio4Ward where skulls, dreams and beer cans are the stuff of art, 300 pounds of human sculpture dangles dead from the wall. It's time to call in the notorious super sleuth Boston Jonson to smoke out the murderer with insults and Zen.  

BTW, this is probably the worst thing I've ever written...but it's short. Very short. I read this to my daughter while she was on life support and couldn't tell me to stop...that she would rather they turn off the support then listen to this story. Buy this one and gift it to people you don't like. Or read it to them when they're on life support. 

In the late 21st Century, A body is found in the headquarters of the world's largest fast food franchise, Barto Burger, creators of the world's first completely cloned hamburger. It's time to bring in Boston Jonson, crime consultant extraordinaire, to use Zen and insults to unravel a startling mystery. Boston dives into a jungle of underground catacombs, mad scientists, homicidal public relations managers and a corporate world gone mad with genetic engineering, cloning and cruelty to old people.

 When a nasty little plague of people turning into stone in coffee shops around the city threatens the bottom line of the Coffee Cartels and their highly addictive designer coffees, investigative consultant, Boston Jonson, is tossed into a world where everyone is out to either admire him or kill him, a world of annoying weirdoes who are probably better off turned into stone.  

This one is short, but it's my favorite Boston Jonson mystery.

"Lovingly detailed, Mitchell uses a series of scenes, emails 

and vignettes to lead the reader spellbound and helpless with incredulous laughter. His 

characterization is deep, yet the book itself is easily read. Off-beat, darkly humorous and all-to-realistic, TEAM PLAYER is a truly great read."

Nothing Is As It Seems

Seven odd people living seven separate lives with a secret connection that will change them forever.

Jack fears the woman he loves. Jackson feels his comfortable life crumble from an unknown source. Jax is ready to commit murder under the orders of an internet being. Jacky falls in love with a woman he can see just once a week. Jacques destroys his career with a mistaken email. Jac is the most hated man on earth when children kill their pets and themselves after reading his books. Jackie hates her life until she makes a stunning discovery.

What is their secret and how did it stay beyond their reach for so long? The Weekly Man explores the limits of self-deception and the consequences of not knowing who we are in a world where secrets can be deadly.

Originally serialized over 72 days, The Weekly Man is the world's first daily serialized coffee break novel, now available in a single book.

If you enjoy a mixture of literary fiction, absurd humor and poetry that will make you wonder that the hell you’re reading, there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy this book. 

The stories and not-poems in these pages were written over a 30 year period and reflect the multiple personalities of a writer, like every other writer, trying to find his literary voice. 

From the heart-jerking journey of a slow but sincere man trying to do the right thing in a world loosing its moral compass, to the outrage and disillusioned rants the not-poem, you’ll find an abundance of pleasure and offense in his short volume.

What the Ocean Left Behind should be available for purchase mid to late March depending on several thousand variables working in conjunction with the the stars.

"Author Biff Mitchell has a unique writing style that makes this book a great read. 

The story is just out of the ordinary, which compelled me to read it. 

This sense of style he has is just what is needed to make this an enjoyable--and funny--read. Having a big sale, on-site celebrity, or other event? 

Be sure to announce it so everybody knows and gets excited about it."

Lisa Anne, Book Review Café

This was my first novel. The first draft was written in pencil in several notebooks that have somehow mysteriously disappeared. I would highly recommend that you not write your first novel this way.
