Books to Melt Your Brain

Come for books that toy with words, stay for books that play with perspective, books that mash genres, and books that deconstruct identities.

I am writing books to make you question what you know about the world, or what you only think you know.

Residue of an Especially Poor Vintage plays on the title, rather than the premise, of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick.

Where PKD focused on the nature of humanity among the blurred lines between natural and artificial life, Residue drops a literal giant sleeping robot into a contemporary small town and allows its dreams to run wild.

Turns out, androids really do dream of electric sheep. Luckily, Middleton is defended by a paranormal investigator, a spray-paint prophet, and an invisible cop.

Free Short Story

Hercules Meets His Match was written for the Mythoversal project, dedicated to restoring inclusion and diversity to classical texts by broadening representation, amplifying marginalized characters, and restoring traditions erased by centuries of gatekeeping.

This short story finds the legendary Hercules on the verge of completing the last of his Twelve Labors. But when Hera, Queen of the Gods, sends a champion to the Olympic Games, Hercules finds himself facing the greatest challenge of his life.
