The Cabal of Thotash: (Novelette) A lovecraftian cult has languished for years within their poorly-ventilated Manhattan lair. When a charismatic sacrifice talks her way off the dark altar and into a leadership position, the Cabal’s fortunes turn around, as do their ideas about what it means to serve the greater evil.

Orconomics: (Novel) High fantasy meets high comedy in Orconomics: A Satire. The adventuring industry drives the economy of Arth, a world much like our own but with more magic and fewer vowels. Professional heroes kill and loot deadly monsters every day, but Gorm Ingerson’s latest quest will be anything but business as usual.

For my children, who support me in ways that they cannot understand, and for my wife, who supports me in ways that she understands very well. I love you all.
