is waiting.
by Brian A. Ask
A frozen road trip. Relentless secret agents. And a Jack Russell Terrier who just drank from the Holy Grail.
Hidden for centuries, an ancient cup possessing divine grace was tucked away to protect it from a shadowy power known as the Organization. But the secret is shattered one winter day when a Jack Russell Terrier named Mrs. Henry takes a sip from a stranger's battered cup.
Suddenly armed with the ability to speak and a host of supernatural powers, Mrs. Henry and her best friend Mark are thrust into a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse. Their unlikely ticket to freedom? A guitar-slinging musician named Bob from Dinkytown. Together, the trio embarks on a magical, cross-country escape toward the gritty alleys of Greenwich Village.
But Mrs. Henry's new powers are acting like a beacon to their enemies, and time is running out. As the roads get slicker and the agents close in, Mark and Bob must help Mrs. Henry keep the cup safe - or they risk losing it forever.
A slow-burn, atmospheric alternative history that explodes into a fast-paced 1960s adventure packed with humor, heart, blues-fueled detours, and a dog who takes absolutely no nonsense.

Brian Ask was born in South Dakota in 1969 and immediately hit the road. He survived twelve schools in twelve years, attended four different universities - including a year abroad at The American University in Cairo - and somehow managed to avoid graduating from all of them. For four decades, he lived as a nomad, never spending more than two years in any one city, leaving his mark on Fargo, Minneapolis, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and everywhere in between. Professionally, he carved out a career as a Chaos Commander in many industries, including the relentless, high-stakes event production industry. He has worked at major venues like The MGM Grand in Las Vegas, as-well-as humble establishments like Grandma's in Fargo. Equipped with a Midwest work ethic and an abrasive edge, he successfully orchestrated massive corporate events while managing to piss off a whole bunch of people along the way. Having left the corporate grind behind, he is now focused on his writing through Stinky Tofu Publishing. He is finally rooted in one place, sharing his life with a great wife and an amazing dog named Tofu. He spends his free time immersed in culinary arts, failing at golf, writing stories, and listening to music.
