LONGFORM


BLOODY WATERS

An uncompromising young guitarist finds herself blacklisted by record industry in the dark times of the post-grunge nineties. For all her talent in the world, she's made too many enemies in the busoness and there's nobody who can help her--or is there?

Can the Devil really be any less trustworthy than an A&R man?

Novel-length work. Seeking representation.


PHILLIPS HEAD

An FBI psychologist administers LSD to a schizophrenic death row inmate--serial killer Brendan Phillips--in an attempt to loosen his tongue. Instead, the drugs loosen something else in Phillips' faultily-wired head: psychokinetic powers. The now-super-powered lunatic frees himself from prison and goes to ground. This is bad.

A government task force is assembled to apprehend him before he can consolidate his powers, but they're not the only ones looking for him. A semi-autistic cop, a psychopathic behaviour therapist and a shiftless telepath all want a piece of Phillips... and none of them have good intentions, either.

FAERIE APOCALYPSE

A succession of humans cross over into Faerie Land, pursuing their dreams or fleeing their nightmares--but where do dreams end and nightmares begin?

XDA ZAI

Mr. Zai loves to travel. He loves to see exotic new places, sample stranges cuisines; he loves to take photos. Luckily, Mr. Zai gets to travel a lot in his work, and the contract killing barely gets in the way of his sightseeing.

Mr. Zai loves his job, and he's good at it, so it's not a big surprise when he gets a payrise and a promotion. Now Zai gets to go to places that don't exist: lost continents; space stations; medieval themeparks cloned from the actual past; floating cities; fairy lands...

You can fly to the moon, you can vanish into dreamland, you can turn yourself inside out and hold your breath--but wherever you run, whereever you hide, X-Dimensional Assassin Zai will find you. Just as soon as he's finished taking photos.
