The 2022 International Book Awards finalist in Humor and Satire.
Ever since his grandma squandered the family fortune to two-bit hucksters from “Microsoft Tech Support,” corporate do-little Eric Amundsen has spent his workdays wasting the time of Nigerian princes and car warranty salesmen everywhere.
But when Eric’s supposedly long-deceased father contacts him through his spam folder, Eric—whose workday mantra isn’t exactly “solutions-oriented”—has serious problems to solve.

And Ampersand
Works of Short Fiction
The perfect pocket companion for any reader who’s tussled with the tie between beginning and end.
Your death comes on slowly, while elsewhere, a nameless man fakes his own. Encased in glass, a young man navigates a world meant for those beyond. A mudslide washes away a once romantic weekend, and a childhood swim drowns all illusion of innocence.
These are but some of the tales in this collection of flash fiction, short stories, and freeform prose.

Accounting for It All
Contemporary Fiction
She has the looks, but now it looks like she cooks the books.
When a porn-star-turned-accountant finds herself mired in an IRS audit of a money laundering scheme she had no idea she was part of, she’s forced to grapple with years of personal and professional dereliction.
[Imminent Dawn is] a rollercoaster of intrigue, suspense, and gorgeously crafted wonder.
