A comic thriller  

(debut novel)

Imagine, if you will, James Morrison—a Cadillac of a man, cruising through life with a beautiful wife, picture-perfect home, two-and-a-half kids, and an enviable career.  He’s only one client away from partnership at Noble, a revered management consulting firm. The problem? His new client might be a crazed killer. 

Caught between chasing the partnership he's worked his whole life for and exposing a killer, James must navigate cutthroat office politics, a showdown with his rival -- the relentless "walking PowerPoint," Shari Perkins-and the dark secrets that come with success. Partnership might cost him more than he ever imagined.

“Unforgettable. And unclassifiable. James and Jim is a thriller, a fall-down-the-stairs farce, a harrowing exposé of a secret world, a comedy of manners, and a fire-and-brimstone morality tale brought to hilarious and horrifying life by the author's wicked sense of humor and bred-in-the-bone sense of ethics. 

—Amber Edwards, award-winning documentary filmmaker, co-author of Forty Days and Forty Nights - A Novel of the Mississippi River

James and Jim is a masterpiece…an icy thriller about an ambitious innocent. James possesses the manner and power skills of a lord born to rule Wall Street’s elite. But does he have the bloodless soul to survive? You hope for him, you pray for him, and you fear for him as the author edges him ever closer to a gilded abyss. 

—Justin Scott, author of The Sister Queens, The Shipkiller, and Rampage

 A play in two acts.

A small theatre struggles through ragged tech rehearsals for a mystery by a playwright that no one seems to like. During the first preview, a raging storm plunges the theatre into a blackout, and the playwright is discovered dead. With the roads out, and nowhere for the audience or the theatre staff to go, they discover they're all stuck inside with a murderer. 

A Meta Murder Mystery doesn't just break the fourth wall, it moves it out of the theatre completely, and a few folks in the audience have something to say about it all. Immersive and wickedly funny. 

Despite its comedic structure and who-and-why-dunnit guessing game, A Meta Murder Mystery tackles several major issues, including gender stereotypes, me-too, and the age old lament: why do we do it? Recently featured in a concert reading by Legacy Theatre, Branford, CT.  

A novel for kids who are different, the adults they became, and the adults who cared.

There is a world, just beyond ours, where there is a window for every cat, and sunbeams to bathe in—even at night, when the moon is full. It’s called the Kingdom of Cats, and Davey, a precocious, head-strong boy of eight, knows it’s true, because his dead cat Flora tells him all about it. Far in the back of his closet, Davey listens to Flora as she spools out tails or this remarkable world. Unfortunately, the rest of the world thinks it’s kind of weird.  Davey, who used to be so bright and popular, is now looked upon as some sort of freak. Davey’s mother wants to help him navigate this world, protect him from the bullies, without squashing his spirit. But as everyone from teachers and friends descend on Davey, his family soon learns that the Kingdom might not be so imaginary after all.

Pussy Boy is told partially as narrative, and partially in the journal pages that Flora and he trade. Filled with vivid, fanciful, and even frightening artwork, the journal illustrates Davey's strong creative indolence and drive.
