Before You Were a Prophet
Mark Miller has spent his life half-ass repenting for all the things he's done wrong, but there's one blotch on his record that he can't erase. He wants to forget his transgressions and pursue a passionless life as an academic, but his new roommates force him to confront his past. Ever since he killed that man in Texarkana, Mark’s been hiding from “the unnerving stare of God.” Now he has to endure his roommates’ southern-fried theories about religion. If he can survive their “spiritual experiments,” live through a drive-by shooting, outwit the old lady next door, escape from the cops, figure out the secret of the bus stop signs, and return the forty-foot-tall inflatable green gorilla to its rightful owners, he might just catch a glimpse of what he’s been looking for.

Warrior Poet
Meet Jake Danger. Playboy romantic. Bar-hopper, God-chaser. International lawyer by day, king of Tokyo’s exploding underground rave scene by night.
He wished he’d never made the Request, because now something or someone was playing with his mind. Everyday events seemed pre-arranged, choreographed to coincide with his thoughts. Ask the Voice a question and immediately afterwards the answer would appear, impossibly timed – printed on the T-shirt of a passer-by, displayed on a computer screensaver, embedded in the lyrics of a song on the radio, overheard from a conversation between strangers…the coincidences were endless. Just who was the Voice, anyway?
Warrior Poet leads the reader on Jake’s mind-bending quest for Truth and personal greatness through Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kentucky, and finally back to Hong Kong to face the Enemy. But would it be too late to save her?

14:40 to Midnight
Skyler crawls from the smoking wreckage of a car to discover his mind is erased. But there is more to this strange predicament than a mere case of amnesia...MUCH MORE. Something is horribly wrong with the world around him. The day no longer progresses chronologically from start to finish. Instead, it is shattered like glass - WHEN you are can change as quickly as WHERE you are.
To make matters worse, this broken world is populated by mechanical monsters who want to kill him, militant humans who want to imprison him, and telepathic cannibals who want to use his mind as a window back to reality.
The only hope for the cosmos is a misguided trust in a mysterious bandaged scientist who will lead them to the very depths of hell...

Much historical info here is not in their biographies. "Good stuff – experientially, politically, anecdotally, stylistically, narratively, romantically, alcoholically. What more can one say?" -- Douglas Houston, PhD, co-editor of the Oxford 'Good Fiction Guide'.
