About the author: Jake Aurelian is the author of eight fiction and non-fiction books; since Summer 2012, his fiction books have won 14 international literary awards. On Halloween 2012, Aurelian took an obscure character from his own fiction, an angry clown named Ripper, and turned the character into a stand-up comedy gimmick--which quickly branched into Youtube comedy videos, commercials and appearances. No other author has done anything remotely similar.
