EndEarthers, available at Barnes and Noble online, or Amazon

     I had to write away my personal trauma before I could write well enough to serve the people with these stories. In October, EndEarthers will be one year published. Six dystopic tales: 

     1. Quiet Beneath the Moon
     Based on my reminiscence of the 60s and the likelihood of civilization's imminent death spiral, Denny, a man in his eighties, shares an adventure with his gay twin, Danny, a revived love interest named Nellie, and several friends and acquaintances. From Long Beach, California, to a hidden location in Mexico, the struggle is within a cracking society and the inevitability of world war. 

     2. Over Here
     Previously, we were insulated from the ravages of war. The tables have turned. Amid the destruction, these four struggle to survive.
 
     3. From Off the Tumbrel Fell
     The severed heads that could not die. 

     4. Chimpanzee
     A rescued lab chimp plots his revenge.
 
     5. Teapot's Empire
     Teapot, an eccentric scientist, blends specimens to create a new species. An accident results in the birth of a child who is an amalgam of the new species and homo sapiens. The scientist empowers the new race to form an alternate to human dominance by tunneling deep within the Earth's crust. to establish a kingdom in waiting.  

     6. The Census Taker. 
     A thousand years in the future an extraterrestrial arrives to take stock of Earth's population. The catch: There is no population.
