Cousins and Pranksters Steve Edsall

Sven and Ariella are a young couple who are matched together through an online service after each completes their respective personality profile. But they soon learn they share few interests. In the digital age of sophisticated compatability algorithms and computerized personality modelling, how could that have happened? Did a hacker intentionally break into the databases?

Despite their many glaring differences, the two fall head over heels in love with each other. It is during their whirlwind romance that Sven learns of some outrageously crazy people in Ariella's circle of relations and business associates, some of whom go by more than one alias. And some of those aliases get recycled and reused from an obscure and mysterious family history! 

Cousins and Pranksters is a fast-paced, contemporary novella with some unbelievable characters. The bizarre and often absurd nature of 21st century life is satirized and brought to life by a colorful array of absurdly funny characters.
