Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A finalist for the 2020 Thurber Prize for American Humor! "The Secret Life of Pets meets The Walking Dead" in this big-hearted, boundlessly beautiful romp through the Apocalypse, where a foul-mouthed crow is humanity's only chance to survive Seattle's zombie problem (Karen Joy Fowler, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author). S.T., a domesticated crow, is a bird of simple pleasures: hanging out with his owner Big Jim, trading insults with Seattle's wild crows (i.e. "those idiots"), and enjoying the finest food humankind has to offer: Cheetos ®. But when Big Jim's eyeball falls out of his head, S.T. starts to think something's not quite right. His tried-and-true remedies—from beak-delivered beer to the slobbering affection of Big Jim's loyal but dim-witted dog, Dennis—fail to cure Big Jim's debilitating malady. S.T. is left with no choice but to abandon his old life and venture out into a wild and frightening new world with his trusty steed Dennis, where he suddenly discovers that the neighbors are devouring one other. Local wildlife is abuzz with rumors of Seattle's dangerous new predators. Humanity's extinction has seemingly arrived, and the only one determined to save it is a cowardly crow whose only knowledge of the world comes from TV. What could possibly go wrong? Includes a Reading Group Guide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only thing worse than watching the woman he loves marry someone else would be marrying her himself… Ethan Ashford, Earl of Griffin, swears on what little honor he has left that fetching Lady Kyra Deverill home from Scotland for her wedding is his familial duty and nothing more. With her father gone, he’s responsible for her well-being—an unlikely assignment for a renowned playboy, under the best of circumstances. Yet Grif finds the assignment all but impossible, and not just because Kyra escapes him at every turn. In truth, he’s lusted after her for most of his life. Fleeing England after her father’s death is by far the most reckless thing Kyra has ever dared. It’s either hide in the Highlands or marry the repulsive Earl of Brumley, and she refuses to spend her life married to a troll. But from the enthusiastic way Grif chases—and then kisses—her, it’s clear he no longer thinks of himself as simply her guardian. Even if Grif wanted to marry Kyra—which he doesn’t—it’s quite out of the question. He is standing on the brink of financial ruin, after all. And Kyra has never trusted Grif with anything. The rest of her life doesn’t seem to be the place to start. 98,000 words

Book excerpt: Title: Unraveling the Multiverse: The Visionary Scientist Who Altered Galactic Turmoil In the near future, Dr. Helena Weiss, a visionary physicist at CERN, accidentally creates a quantum singularity during a groundbreaking experiment. This unexpected event opens gateways to parallel universes, plunging the multiverse into chaos. What begins as a scientific breakthrough quickly turns into an existential crisis as the singularity destabilizes time itself, threatening every timeline. Leading the charge to fix this catastrophe is Dr. Helena Weiss, whose discovery now puts her at the forefront of a multiversal battle. Intelligent and morally conflicted, Weiss must grapple with the unintended consequences of her actions while working to restore balance. Alongside her is Agent Nolan Black, a hardened operative from the covert government agency Section 51, responsible for investigating extraterrestrial phenomena. Nolan, who carries a tragic past and secret ties to a rogue faction of time travelers known as the Chrono Bandits, is torn between his mission and his personal desire to rewrite the past to save his wife. They are joined by Kira Novus, a fierce warrior from the Zenith Coalition, an alliance locked in a centuries-old war with reptilian overlords. Kira, armed with her tactical brilliance and deep knowledge of alien technology, has her own hidden agenda. Together, this unlikely trio must navigate shifting alliances, fight ancient forces, and unravel a conspiracy that spans time and space. The antagonist, Malthus, leads the Chrono Bandits, a powerful group of time manipulators who seek to merge all timelines into a singular reality under his control. He believes this is the only way to achieve true stability, even if it means the destruction of countless alternate realities. Meanwhile, the shadowy Reptilian Overlords, who have secretly manipulated Earth's timeline for millennia from their hidden base on the Hollow Moon, seek to seize control of the singularity to cement their dominance over every reality.

Nolan’s Sacrifice: In a heart-wrenching decision, Nolan must give up his chance to save his wife in order to prevent the collapse of the multiverse. Environment and Settings: CERN Facility: The high-tech laboratory where the singularity is created. It transforms from a sterile research facility into the epicenter of a multiversal disaster. Hollow Moon: The alien base hidden within Earth’s moon, dark and filled with incomprehensible advanced technology. It serves as the Reptilian Overlords' control center and the final battleground. Alternate Earths: The team travels through various parallel universes, encountering dystopian and utopian versions of Earth shaped by the effects of time manipulation. Familiar landmarks and historical events appear altered due to alien and Chrono Bandit interference. Themes: Fate vs. Free Will: Can the characters shape their own destinies, or is history preordained? This question drives the central conflict between the protagonists and Malthus. Moral Ambiguity: Nolan’s personal struggle to choose between saving his wife and protecting the multiverse highlights the ethical dilemmas faced by the characters. Scientific Hubris: Dr. Weiss’s unintentional creation of the singularity raises questions about the consequences of pushing scientific boundaries without understanding the risks.
