“We hunt the ghosts. We hunt ourselves.  The dark does not deter us, nor the constant threat of the invisible, for we know what the light-dwellers never will; that only in hunting the unseen, in being unseen ourselves, do we truly live.

“We hunt the ghosts. We hunt ourselves. 

The dark does not deter us, nor the constant threat of the invisible, for we know what the light-dwellers never will; that only in hunting the unseen, in being unseen ourselves, do we truly live. Not in high school halls, or failing malls, or online ass-lying living room squalls, finger-ticking our meaninglessness into some spider’s cosmic World Wide Web, but here, in the phoneless, grid-less dark. It is here, on these dust-creaky floorboards, that we live in the ancient, bone-deep sense, the true sense, the sense of not merely being, but of being aware that we are. Or… it could just be a fad.”

  That’s the not-so-cold open of my new novella, After Pie, from Crossroad Press. It is NOW at sundry eBook outlets available via the fingers nearest you. So-called “physical” books coming soon.

Captain America has battled soldiers, terrorists and villains of all kinds. Now he’ll face a far more complicated enemy: his own body. When S.H.I.E.L.D. discovers that Cap is harboring an extinction-level pathogen hidden in his cells for decades, Cap’s greatest fear is realized: Until the virus can be cured, he’ll have to go into deep freeze. But he won’t be alone. Years ago, Cap’s greatest enemy managed the biggest coup of his career when he implanted his mind into a clone of Steve Rogers’ body – virus and all. And Red Skull isn’t the sacrificial type. Cap will have to put his archnemesis on ice – without exposing the virus. Can Cap stay alive along enough to capture Red Skull and return to his deepest nightmare? It’s a battle for perfect symmetry in this original prose novel!

After Hessius Mann was convicted of his wife’s murder, suppressed evidence came to light and the verdict was overturned—too bad he was already executed. But thanks to the miracles of modern science, Hessius was brought back to life. Sort of.

Now that he’s joined the ranks of Fort Hammer’s pulse-challenged population, Hessius attempts to make a “living” as a private investigator. But when a missing persons case leads to a few zombies cut to pieces, Hessius starts thinking that someone’s giving him the run-around—and it’s not like he’s in any condition to make a quick getaway . . .
