Genre: Mystery/Detective
Approximately 65,000 words
If you were told to walk into a typical used book store and, from the patrons, select the person least likely to survive repeated attempts on their life, solve a murder, and bring down a powerful and deadly ring of criminals, Max Chance is the person you’d pick. And she would surprise you by doing all those things. She’s a cozy sleuth in a hardboiled world.
Max is an intelligent, thoughtful, and cultured protagonist like Robert B. Parker’s Spenser or Sara Paretsky’s V.I. Warshawski, but without their inherent talent for righteous violence. There are also elements of humor as Max is not a detective but ends up solving a crime, as was often the case with Gregory Mcdonald’s Fletch series. A dash of romance softens the hard edges of this story just a bit.

Genre: Absurdist Humor / Sci-FiApproximately 98,000 words
Late one night, Naked Jesus and a pair of female angels (also naked) come down from the sky in a golden spaceship to speak with a Pentecostal preacher known for drunkenly evangelizing to shrubbery in his small, isolated hometown. The next morning, rain begins to fall on Hootens Mill, Georgia, and it doesn’t stop. By Thursday, streets are flooded and water is cresting behind the dam. And, as if the deluge weren’t enough, a fugitive bomber is planning to blow up the dam and completely destroy the city. Naked Jesus and the Deluge, a dark absurdist humor novel with a just touch of sci-fi, brings together a large cast of characters (a photographer, a reporter, a mayor, a weatherman, a deputy, a fugitive, a preacher, a group of teenagers, a serial abdominal carver, and many more), some good, some not-so-good, most somewhere in between. Will the good citizens be able to stop the mad bomber before he unleashes a wall of water on an unsuspecting city? Click here for marketing files on Google Drive
