My Books
I've written a couple of books. You can find them below. I've also recently finished the manuscript of a new book, Delight in Difference, about the joys of a diverse liberal society, and how opposition to diversity and dynamism (i.e., illiberalism) breeds both personal and social suffering. If you want updates on that book's release, sign up here:
I've published one novel and a collection of short stories, mostly horror and crime fiction.
The Hole: A Novel of Supernatural Apocalypse
The world as Elliot Bishop and Evajean Rhodes know it is gone. Destroyed. In just two weeks, a horrific plague raged across the planet - driving its victims insane before killing them.
The two survivors set out on an unimaginable journey, driven by a cryptic message from Evajean’s husband: If anything terrible happens, you must get to Salt Lake City. But the pair soon discover they are not alone, and that the plague has done more than kill. The countryside between Virginia and Utah now crawls with victims who have been driven mad - violent lunatics fueled with definite yet unknown purpose.
To survive, Elliot and Evajean must fight for their lives - against the crazies, against sinister forces who would stop their quest, against long-ago hidden menaces - and uncover the deeply guarded secret of those driven mad and the plague that spawned them. The secret of a destructive force unleashed on the world by one of America's most powerful religious sects...
