How Will I Know
“I was completely entranced by this delicious romp of a book.” -Patricia Wood, author of Lottery
Michael Monroe is about to turn thirty and is going nowhere-literally. His car just broke down, he’s lost his job, his boyfriend dumped him, and he has $442.62 left to his name. Not a good look for the only son of Olivia Monroe, the ultrarich owner of the Daisy Diamond empire. Olivia left Michael to financially fend for himself after an arrest during his college years embarrassed the family, and he’s failing miserably. Rejected, frustrated, and lost, Michael screams, “What am I doing wrong? Just give me a sign!” to the universe, never dreaming he’ll get an answer. Even more shocking is who delivers it: his very own guardian angel, the iconic and forever-feisty Whitney Houston.

What if the so-called Lost Colony of settlers in North Carolina were in fact not lost at all but instead merged happily with the Native American tribes to create a new people and unique society?

Different Waves, Different Depths
Different Waves, Different Depths takes its name from a comment an old crush made once about her feelings for me. It also describes this collection of nine stories, varying in style from the literarily weird to the science fiction and in length from the flash to the novelette. There’s even a pilot script in here.
There are time loops and time travel, reality television and big data, consultants who can make anyone a winner, a newspaper that’s just gone online-only, a band that never existed but is all too real, mistaken identities, roadtrips, drugs, guns, murder, and a love story or three.
Dive in deep, ease in the shallows, or just let the tide lap at your toes. Different waves are waiting.
