Precocia: The Sixth Circle of Heck by Dale E Basye

Dale E. Basye sends Milton and Marlo to Precocia, the circle reserved for kids who grow up too fast, for their latest hilarious escapade in Heck.

When Bea "Elsa" Bubb, the Principal of Darkness, tells Milton and Marlo Fauster they've gotten too big for their britches, she sends them to Precocia, the circle of Heck for smartypants kids who grow up too fast. There, the children learn adult jobs. William the Kid teaches bill collection. Mozart teaches commercial jingles. And all the students are forced to act, dress, and talk like little adults. Soon, the Fausters realize that Precocia's vice principals Napoleon and Cleopatra want more than to hasten adulthood--they seem to want to eliminate childhood altogether. Can Milton and Marlo figure out their plan in time to stop it?

Heck is a school in the afterlife where bad kids go for all eternity, or until they turn eighteen, whichever comes first. As in Dante's Inferno, there are nine circles of Heck, based on kids' various vices.

For a variety of media and organizations, Dale E.Basye has authored stories, scripts, articles, reviews, and lies. He was a film reviewer who won multiple national journalistic honors and produced Tonic, a weekly arts and entertainment publication. He was also the musical driving force behind a number of bands, just a handful of which had titles fit for a credible Web site. To be absolutely honest (or whoever), you'd be reading this biography on the back of a CD instead if any of those bands had been any good. Dale has this to say about his second book: There is a moment when you don't completely appreciate what you have, even if there are plenty of models, celebrities, and the curiously renowned rubbing their faces in what you don't have.

You'd give anything to get what they have, and it gnaws at you from within, as if you'd swallowed a small, ferocious shrew--which you haven't, to the best of your knowledge. That's how hell is. And, regardless of what anyone tells you, Hell exists. This is a true story.

Or, at the very least, as real as anything like this can be. Dale E.Basye lives in Portland, Oregon, where he has to deal with grizzly bears, nettled beavers, and intermittent Wi-Fi signals on a daily basis.
