I have authored four novels thus far. All written, edited and ready to publish. It’s just a matter of finding a literary agent and then seducing the right editor.

To whet your literary appetite I will post sample chapters each month from my novels. If you like them (or for that matter if you’ve liked anything I’ve ever written, ever) give a “thumbs up” on the Facebook doodad at the top of this page. That will help prove I’m marketable to publishers. If you are a literary agent or are sleeping with a literary agent and think you could secure a book deal, then for the love of God contact me.

Otherwise, you’ll find sample chapters from my books below. Enjoy!

SUN ON A ROPE

In the future there will be pills for everything, people will give birth to kittens, and flippant computers will vote on your behalf. Even after you’re dead.

Harold’s not dead, but his overbearing father-in-law is. Yet instead of an inheritance, the man leaves behind his “zombie box”: a sophisticated machine which thinks, speaks and schemes just as its owner would have.

To preserve his sanity and marriage, Harold must thwart a snarky computer, a feckless politician, and a gun-toting conspiracy called the Nixon Underground bent on resurrecting the United States.

Sun on a Rope is a hilarious glimpse of life in the world of tomorrow. Where technology is astounding, but people are still generally screwed up.

“Funnier than 1984. . . yet somehow scarier than Brave New World.” – Imaginary Literary Critic

Frank Got Abducted

A pink slip, a burglary and a breakup have jettisoned Hillary Norbitz from her recently established adult life. While hungover on a bus retreating to her home town, she mistakenly identifies a man as her estranged friend James. The doppelganger insists they have never met before. So do the next two identical men.

Her brother Frank is en route to collect her when he notices a triangular patch of sky above his car with no visible stars in it. The following day he wakes up in Utah with his pants on backwards.

Together with an eccentric farmer and an extraterrestrial travel writer, they must piece together how a serial killer, a romance, and Frank’s frequent, nerve-wracking abductions are connected to a larger extraterrestrial plot. And by doing so discover that aliens are just as bumbling and flawed as the human beings they abduct.
