Bubble G.U.M
Happy Smiley
It's 2045 and Prix Chan is beginning her National Service. Her father, Pierre, believes she can handle it but her mother, Su, is hysterical at the thought of her daughter leaving the safety of Singapore's Green Underwater Metropolis, the Bubble G.U.M., a self-sufficient city-state protected three miles beneath the waves by a dome of chewing gum.
Little does anyone know that in less than a week Prix will cause the biggest crisis to hit Singapore since the planet went into meltdown creating a world of water and a human civilisation on the brink of annihilation.
A collaborative novel from Happy Smiley (aka, the six members of the Happy Smiley Writers Group), Bubble G.U.M. is out to prove that thought-stretching literature and revealing bikinis are not mutually exclusive.

Happiness at the End of the World
Happy Smiley and Friends
Happiness at the End of the World is Singapore's first ever, ground-breaking, innovative speculative fiction anthology. There's only one "first ever" and this is it. Published in 2009, Happiness at the End of the World was launched at the Singapore Writers Festival. The fact that the Singapore press ignored it does not mean it did not happen.
Eight science fiction short stories with a different take of the theme of a moment of post-Armageddon happiness. Sub-genres include crime, romance and adventure with settings ranging from a desolate space station to a war-ravaged world, a jungle village to a super-clean Singapore of the future.
While the rest of the world is doom and gloom over climate change, ancient predictions of planetary alignments spelling the end of days and the potential for nuclear holocaust, one book has come to the rescue with some joy in the midst of horror.
