Chelsea and Clarence

Many brief tales combine into a micro-saga of the Twins, Chelsea and Clarence. A deceptively short book full of thoughtful fun! Julesworks are (in this instance) PQ Ribber and Stephen Jules Rubin, who somehow combine forces despite the implausibility of said collaboration, including this write-up. The characters were originally created in Portland, Oregon with Jules and Yvette Tourangeau, in a park, using small notebooks. Sister-less, Jules always thought having a sister would be neat and took it a step further...so the male/female dynamo twin duo were created. Jules ran with the characters and some random adventures for a bit and then teamed with PQ. Over many years, short tales were written and revised, with a special shout out to the late Amanda DeAngeles for helping PQ with editing and and now, thanks to the guidance of Trent Zelazny, this novella is being released. Mentioned in this novella are other characters from the Jules/Ribber universe including a Jules himself and the Jackson Five, implying perhaps more novellas in this vein might be to come. Whatever happens in the future, we hope you enjoy this dreamy, strange novella telling of the twins Chelsea and Clarence and their immediate clan.

PQ Ribber is one of the creative forces behind Chelsea and Clarence, a short, playful work developed through the Julesworks creative circle in collaboration with Stephen Jules Rubin. The characters Chelsea and Clarence were originally created in Portland, Oregon, with Jules and Yvette Tourangeau, beginning in small notebooks and gradually developing into a pair of imaginative twin protagonists. Over time, Ribber and Rubin expanded and revised the brief tales that became this dreamy micro-saga, with editing assistance from the late Amanda DeAngeles and later guidance connected to the book's release. Ribber's work here emphasizes collaboration, whimsy, brief-form storytelling, and the odd, affectionate logic of a shared fictional universe.
