Age of Ascent

The depravity is vanquished, the Biodome restored to its former glory. The existential virus is once again the moral authority of the new order. Sacrifices have been made that set the stage to alter the course of human history. But evil forces are rallying, banding together to unleash the dark side of humanity once again.

So long as the rot remains, there is always another way.

Everett Steele wakes from the coma, seemingly intact. Only she, and the notorious Dr. Draeger, know where she’s been. And what is looming. Undeterred, the evil patriarchy infiltrates the new order once again, this time striking at the heart of the Biodome. Everett discovers another agent with EV immunity, Pedro Ramon, and together, they end his reign of terror. But fear is a powerful manipulator. Draeger maintains control of the Biodome with nothing more than threats of retribution. The only thing standing in the way of total domination is Everett Steele, Jacob Domanso, and now, Pedro Ramon. And they aren’t backing down.

Darwin's Progress

What would a future traveler discover in an America that has taken its money-based society to the extreme? Michael Brown, our hero from the first book of the trilogy, is now 35 and sets out to explore this new world. In America, he encounters ‘pecuniocracy,’ a system where the rationality of money governs all aspects of life: contract marriages, commercial families, custody battles with financial stakes, and other bizarre phenomena stemming from the belief that money is the cornerstone of humanity and society. Through a series of thrilling adventures and unexpected twists, Michael must navigate and ultimately escape from this dystopian future America.

“A monumentally amazing story…”

Hounded

It is 2066, twenty-five years after the Immune Collapse decimated the world population. The survivors spend as much time as possible in VR rather than in the real world.

Vic Malone is a newly-promoted detective assigned to robbery-homicide in the Brooklyn Police Department. He finds himself tangled up in a case that involves murder, illegal software, blackmail, and the mob. Fortunately for Vic, his partner is Officer Louis, a Neo-9. Neo-9s are genetically enhanced dogs, and Louis’ mom was a black Labrador. With hidden talents and a secret life, he is far more than just a K-9 sidekick.

With the help of the police, the FBI, self-aware AI avatars, and other Neo-9s, Louis and Vic must solve the case before the shadowy forces responsible for the crimes can find and put them down.

Maureen Domanso, a top aide to Dr. Draeger – the notorious leader of the new administration – claims Everett’s death was due to the virus, just as her own son’s disappearance remains a mystery. Maureen is certain Draeger is behind it all, but how and why? United by the mysterious losses of their children, Sandra and Maureen join forces to take Draeger down.

In a frantic race against time, Everett saves Jake’s life, only to realize her return to the beginning is permanent. She grapples with the fallout of her decision as a volcanic eruption decimates the garden. From one crisis to another, it becomes clear that these events are far from natural, pushing them to the limits of their endurance.

The pair receives a glimmer of hope when Everett is sent back to rescue Pedro Ramon from Dr. Draeger’s clutches. Together, the three stand against the beast threatening to obliterate the beginning, while their families struggle to keep the Biodome intact under Draeger’s oppressive regime.

The power of love and hope are put to the ultimate test in this monumental clash between good and evil.

White Reality

Mary and Blanche, two women grappling with mental instability and substance addiction, find themselves in a psychiatric institution. Their lives unfold in parallel narratives, converging in a unique psychological space where time and space are subject to their perception.
