Occupied Minds

Description:

On a quiet and humid night, good-hearted county employee Bubba Montgomery meets a strange visitor who needs his assistance. When Bubba agrees to help, he soon discovers that his decision will impact not only his fate but the fates of his girlfriend Mitzi, his fellow residents of Hubberton, and ultimately the entire planet and indeed the human race! The adventure unfolds across a dazzling set of viewpoints – different characters, different times, different planets – as we see the terrifying consequences of Bubba’s and Mitzi’s choices. Darkly funny and deeply weird, Occupied Minds blends alien invasion small town life with dark humor science fiction, absurdist comedy, and a touch of Philip K. Dick–style paranoia. “Steve Portigal’s characters are (at times literally) from another world, yet drawn so deftly as to be tangible, recognizable, and deeply human.” –Nadine Perez Fox, James Kirkwood Award-winning writer
