This isn't strictly Kim Possible related news, but as it is good writing, I thought it would be OK to pass it along to the Kimmunity.
My twin brother (yes, I have a twin brother!) Nathan wrote a book called "Boing the Half Ogre" which he's posted on lulu.com. It's a sort of 'print your own' website that cuts out the publishing middleman by letting people print their own copies. The site is here:

What is 'Boing the Half Ogre'? Well, a story synopsis is at the web page. The tale fills the limited, but (I think) very diverting role of 'fantasy/comedy'. It profiles the tale of a Half-Ogre fighter, a loudmouth wizard, and a hunchbacked theif who rarely says anything but 'Yeth bozz.' They wind up getting killed in a mission for their respective guilds - but are brought back by the gods for an epic quest to thwart Death himself to save the world!
I admit I'm pimping his story - but I've read it and it's good. It's funny, and well penned while still being exciting. Give it a look see - without a publishing company, word of mouth is one of the only ways to sell good stories like this. With LuLu, you don't have to buy a printed copy - you can download full stories at a reduced price and read them in PDF file. It's quite cool...
I'm working on cover art for him, and that should be fun as well
It's kind of like being part of 'Mythadventures' with Phil Foglio...
