About this series
What if there was an app that could cloak you in a cross-gendered hologram? And it had a voice modulation module? Women could present as men and get better-paying jobs. Men could present as women and get groped in the subway. Cool.
"The characters are ... intelligent, witty, and adventurous. I enjoyed their dialogue and insights. ... This is a book I really recommend to any book club and to people who are interested in gender differences and gender discrimination." Mesca Elin, Psychochromatic Redemption
“This book is brilliant. ... The premise is really intriguing ... The scene at the airport just had me laughing out loud." Katya, Goodreads

- The Blasphemy Tour
In this sequel to The Road Trip Dialouges, two Canadian atheists go on a cross-country speaking tour of American Bible Colleges. No, seriously. How did this happen? Well ... in The Road Trip Dialogues, Rev and Dylan are charged with blasphemy for adding “‘Blessed are they that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stone.’ Psalms 137:9” to a Right-to-Life billboard just outside Algonquin Park. As a result of a well-publicized court trial, the American Atheist Consortium offers an all-expenses-paid speaking tour of American Bible Colleges. So ... The Blasphemy Tour — where philosophy essay meets stand-up. “If I were Siskel and Ebert I would give this book Two Thumbs Way Up. Yes, it is blasphemy toward organized religion, but it gives you tons of Bible verses to back up its premises. And besides, it’s pure entertainment. There’s a prequel which I recommend you read first: The Road Trip Dialogues. I only hope there will be a third book.” L. K. Killian "Jass Richards has done it again. As I tell anyone who wants to listen, Jass is a comedy genius, she writes the funniest books and always writes the most believable unbelievable characters and scenes ... It’s both funny and made me think at the same time. ... Overall, I highly recommend anything by Jass, especially this one book, which is full of comedy gold and food for thought.” " May Arend, Brazilian Book Worm
- The Road Trip Dialogues
Rev and Dylan are intelligent, sensitive, idealistic, enthusiastic, and—utter failures. When they reconnect some twenty years after teacher’s college, Rev is en route to the Montreal fireworks festival. (Something with great social and political import.) (Oh shut up. I tried. For two frickin' decades. So to hell with it.) Dylan goes along for the ride. (Typical.) Seriously funny. "With a wicked sense of humor ... an inherently engaging, fully entertaining, and impressively thought-provoking read." Paul Vogel, Midwest Book Review "I am impressed by the range from stoned silliness to philosophical perspicuity, and I love your comic rhythm." L. S. “Just thought I’d let you know I’m on the Fish ‘n Chips scene and laughing my ass off.” Ellie Burmeister
- License to Do That
Rev and Dylan (whom we meet in THE ROAD TRIP DIALOGUES) have returned from their BLASPHEMY TOUR to discover that Canada has adopted the Parent Licence Act: people who wish to become parents must apply for, and meet certain requirements before being granted, a licence. What if? After all, we require hairdressers and plumbers to be licensed. Dylan, freelance journalist, investigates, interviews, and observes; Rev, loose cannon, solves an ‘illegal fertilization’ mystery. They both occasionally get stoned and silly, and deal with a baby wolf who has adopted them. "I’m very much intrigued by the issues raised in this narrative. I also enjoy the author’s voice, which is unapologetically combative but also funny and engaging." A.S. "I love Froot Loup! You make me laugh out loud all the time!" Celeste M. “A thought-provoking premise and a wonderful cast of characters.” H.W.
- The ReGender App
What if there was an app that could cloak you in a cross-gendered hologram? And it had a voice modulation module? Women could present as men and get better-paying jobs. Men could present as women and get groped in the subway. Cool. "The characters are ... intelligent, witty, and adventurous. I enjoyed their dialogue and insights. ...

Jass Richards
Jass Richards (jassrichards.com) has a Master's degree in Philosophy and for a (very) brief time was a stand-up comic (now she's more of a sprawled-on-the-couch comic). Despite these attributes, she has received four Ontario Arts Council grants. In addition to her Rev and Dylan series (The Road Trip Dialogues, The Blasphemy Tour, License to Do That, and The ReGender App), which has reportedly made at least one person snort root beer out her nose, she has written This Will Not Look Good on My Resume (shortlisted for the Rubery Book Award), followed by its sequel Dogs Just Wanna Have Fun ('nuff said). She has also written the perfect cottage-warming gift, TurboJetslams: Proof #29 of the Non-Existence of God (which, along with License to Do That, made it to Goodreads' Fiction Books That Opened Your Eyes To A Social Or Political Issue list), its sequel, CottageEscape.zyx: Satan Takes Over, and a (way)-off-the-beaten-path first contact novel, A Philosopher, A Psychologist, and An Extraterrestrial Walk into A Chocolate Bar, along with its supplemental Jane Smith's Translation Dictionary of Everyday Lies, Insults, Manipulations, and Clueless Comments. Lastly, she has published a collection of her stand-up bits, titled Too Stupid to Visit and other collections of funny bits. Excerpts from her several books have appeared in The Cynic Online Magazine, in Contemporary Monologues for Young Women (vol.3) and 222 More Comedy Monologues, and on Erma Bombeck's humor website. Her one-woman play Substitute Teacher from Hell received its premiere performance by Ghost Monkey Productions in Winnipeg. Her worst-ever stand-up moment occurred in Atlanta at a for-blacks-only club (apparently). Her best-ever stand-up moment occurred in Toronto when she made the black guy fall off his stool because he was laughing so hard at her Donovan Bailey joke. (The guy set a world record for running the 100M in 9.84 seconds, yeah? Big wup. My dog can do better than that. 'Course, she's black too.)
